<ガンダムUC>

hoo boy, almost went 8/8 for the top seed in each group, thank goodness for gundam

fun fact: I almost went with generating md5 hashes to use a voting codes, but realized it'd be annoying because I wouldn't be able to tell at a glance what they were

The pomp and circumstance require that you listen to this music while you make your selections.

Group A is totally the "Group of Death" (soccer terminology for toughest group). Two really good things are going to be missing out on the round of 16, there. Could Redline conceivably get squeezed out due to Natsume-love?

Penguindrum and Steins;Gate got the easiest draws. Don't see any way they'll be challenged. Madoka should get through easily as well.

It'll also be interesting to see if AGE makes it out of its group.

I truly fear for Last Exile.

A - Ninchou <日常>
B- Fate Zero <Fate/zero>
C - Madoka <まどまぎ>
D - Bakuman 2 <ばくまん>
E - Chihayafuru <ちはやふる>
F - Steins <Steins;Gate>
G- Penguindrum <ピンドラ>
H - Unicorn <ガンダムUC>

Do we have to vote on all 8 pairs (like we had to rank all of the ones in the previous section)?

Nope, you can vote in as many matches as you wish.

Since Madoka Magica and Chihayafuru will win anyway, I'll be a contrarian and vote for Last Exile and GOSICK since I like the shows and nominated them, even if I feel the others are objectively better.
Also, Last Exile deserves at least one vote...

A. <日常>
I'm fairly certain that female-me wrestling a goat beats any positive qualities of TWGOK.
B. <Fate/zero>
It's safe to say Fate/Zero is better than Guilty Crown in every way imaginable.

Group Stage Match 2 votes:

Group A
<REDLINE>

Group B
<SOS団>

Skip Group C because I haven't seen either of them.

Group D
<スタドラ>

Group E
<テガミバチ> (even with the CG monsters, I KNOW)

Group F
<UNGO>

Group G
<きみぼく>

I'm not voting for Group H because I can't vote for Persona with a clear conscience, and I haven't seen the new Macross.

I can only vote in one. :l

A. <REDLINE>

Barely makes it ahead of Natsume because it has Funky Boy and explosions and crazy hair.

nugh my internet was wonky yesterday and didn't get to vote for Nichijou... at least it wasn't outright eliminated.

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

If you're not listening to this music while you vote, then your soul is held down by gravity.

I'll say it again, Group A is a nightmare group. So tough to call who will emerge.

Well, I for one like the Natsume manga quite a bit, but I haven't seen Redline yet, so I'm unfortunately not self-qualified to choose between them. :sweat: The ones I *will* choose, however, are:

<SOS団>
<きみとど>
<きみぼく>

Suzumiya, Kimi ni Todoke, and Kimi to Boku. :)

Natsume is really great, but Redline was one of the two event movies of the year for me.
