March Madness Anime Style

Post by JWR »

Ok here is a new game modeled after the NCAA Basketball contest.

64 anime divided up into groups of 16 so 4 divisions with shows going head to head , the winner moving on to only one is left standing.
I have taken 64 of the most popular series as per dvd sales and galleries on RS having sections. I apologize if your favorite series did not make the list. I'm hoping for a fun time but as the contest gets deeper it should get hard to make a decsion X|

Every day we will feature a 2 day poll rotating a different division to vote upon. Polls will start Tuesday 3/9/10.

As with the real march madness I'll divide up the 4 divisions of 16 by geographic areas that certain Beta members live.

So I divided up as follows

Goldknight Division (Northwest)

Slayers
Vs
Saiyuki

Air

When each match goes up, could you post links to series synopses? I don't know some of these series...

Just be aware that when you read Wikipedia anime pages that they often contain huge spoilers in them.

Be careful reading Fate/stay night and AIR links for example. The character links usually have the biggest spoilers in them. The top story synopsis USUALLY aren't as bad.

Your Welcome.

I edited my 1st post for when I wrote it I had it at 1 day polls but then set the polls to 2 days instead of 1 this morning X|

Thats what I get for posting while sniping an auction on YJ this morning, at least I won :P
