Anisummer Tournament (Results) Discussion Thread!
So this is here to discuss the progress of the Animsummer tournament. Talk about how you voted, how it's unfair that ____ got paired with ____, etc.
Here are the results. See here for more detail.
|
I abstained exactly half of the list because, to be fair, I don't like to vote for something just because I've watched them and not the other. @[email protected];
Fifty bucks say I'm the only one who votes Aria in #48 and Mushishi in #33. Actually, I'd be surprised if Aria got any votes through a genuine appreciation and not just a particular dislike of the other series it'll be paired with. Not that I'm complaining |

Hopefully something I voted for wins :D |

I honestly feel bad for Sonic X for being paired to AB! XD I mean, I'm a closet SoH fan, but I grew up with the Sonic X dub, so yeah.
It was also kind of hard with Azumanga vs. Shaman King, because I love both. But like my current obsession with FT, I had a Shaman King obsession way back when the dub came out. I finished the dub, and now I'm trying to get through the original with subs. I never had that kind of feeling for Azumanga. |
Poor Sonic ;-;. If I knew it was going to turn like this I would have never put the anime into enter, although I knew the chance of it progressing to round 2 was slim to none.
I had to seriously think on Cowboy Bebop vs Full Metal Alchemist and Trigun vs Dragonball series. They are all awesome and it took me a while to decide between them. I can't wait to see the mess that is round 2 xD. Why haven't anyone besides me voted for Nagasarete Airantou its an awesome anime |
I think I already know which ones are going to win.
Most probably Bleach, Naruto or the other 2 big ones. :/ |

The tournament is run swiss-style, so there are no actual eliminations. The winner is determined by: Wins/Losses, Total votes for/against, Standings of beaten opponents, Standing of opponents lost to. at the end of the tournament. The first round matchups are essentially random, though matchups after that are based off rank [1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, etc.] for each round. There are 7 rounds because that's the minimum number of rounds it would take to get a winner in a normal single-elimination tournament [2^7 = 128 > 100 > 64 = 2^6] |

I think Cardcaptor Sakura has a good chance of coming out on top. It has a whopping 14 votes against only a single vote for Ichigo 100%. I don't think anything else has gotten as many so far. |
Wow, didn't expect Fullmetal to get as many votes against Cowboy Bebop. Then again if I remember correctly, this community doesn't really watch Cowboy Bebop does it? More likely than not due to Hype Aversion.
*shrugs* |

Think back I feel stupid as I just remember that I forgot to edit and nominate Konjiki no Gash Bell[Zatch Bell] and Ruroni Kenshin :[. Oh well...this tourney is exciting :D. |
Actually, my stepdad owns quite a few Cowboy Bebop DVDs, they just never seemed interesting.
Not to mention a good portion of the community seems to be into FMA anyhow. Now, what I'd like to know, is, what Hanamaru Kindergarten is about. /sure I can look it up on Wiki or MAL, but I'd rather get a member input And I'd love it if FT or Shaman King wins, but I'll be satisfied with one of the Key/Visual Works or TTGL winning, too. I'm also really glad this isn't elimination-style, because I feel really bad when something I liked/voted for gets eliminated. |
I do hope that TTGL wins. lol
|
My money's on Card Captor Sakura or Spirited Away. Those two have almost no hatedom as far as I can tell. If Bleach can't put up a good fight against a light-weight like Hetalia (sorry, NEETo), it shows that notability alone wouldn't win the vote for a show.
Also, 100 series and no one vouched for Pokemon? On a Pokemon forum? |

I also forgot to mention a favorite of mine, Detroit Metal City. ah well im hoping for One Piece in the end, or FMA. |
Quote:
One Piece isn't as popular around here as in other places :/ |
I wouldn't call all cartoons made in Japan "anime", but still. Pokemon is, in fact, anime. Much like Digimon, which I'm surprised no one else brought up.
Same with Megaman's anime. It wasn't half bad /again, watched dub though Oh right, and Medabots (anyone remember that one? :B) and Beyblade. Those two totally being there for nostalgic purposes. |

Also, if you're looking for series to watch, check out Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. "This work of fiction is based on the hypothetical situation of a giant earthquake occurring in Tokyo, and has been produced after extensive research and inspection of facts." Ya, Pokemon and Digimon ended up not being nominated XD |

but on a slightly serious tone, since this is an swiss style tournament, im kinda glad pokemon wasn't nominated. since it is an anime tourney and we're on a pokemon dedicated forum, i would assume pokemon would DEFINTIELY get a lot of votes, this gives a chance for lesser known anime to shine in our tournament. In the end, this doesn't dictate anything, just a popularity contest JA KNOW! |

besides the point, i guess we won't know this time around eh? |
Other animes Tenchi Muyo, Kirby:Right Back At Ya, Shinzo, Rave Master, Tactics, and even Astro Boy I wouldn't have mind seeing entering the tourney either :3 but I couldn't remember a whole bunch. Of anime to nominate, although I'm sure most don't know what Shinzo and Tactics are anyway :<.
Yeah nobody but pokemon or digimon up for nomination xD. How very odd. |
I can't believe there was FMA vs. Cowboy Bebop and then Ghost in the Shell vs. Baccano! right afterward. Talk about heated match-ups. I'm worried that FMA's going to beat out Cowboy Bebop (even though it's nowhere near as good, or as badass for that matter) just because most of the users here are too young.
|
I'm sitting here wondering how many people who've watched Fist of the North Star have watched 5 Centimeters per Second and vice versa. And here I was thinking 5cm/sec would win hands down.
I for one, am feeling quite sad that R.O.D. was paired off with Inuyasha and it's large fanbase... Also, I abstained quite a lot because I haven't watched much of these ones. |
