Announcing ANIME CHARACTER BATTLE Spring 2010

We want to do something new on the website. Something fun. Here is the idea. I want to run a single elimination tournament, character battle on the top page of the forum. How does this work? You the users will be allowed to propose 10 characters each(ABSOLUTE MAX) by posing them here in this thread. Then I will make a bracket on BracketMaker. It will operate in the same way that the March Madness NCAA Men's basketball tournament operates.

Every 2 days, 2 more characters will be entered into the poll on the top page and you, the users will vote on your favorite characters. After the 2 days, the winner is eliminated and the winner moves on.

Any questions? If you have questions, ask, if you don't please post your nominations here in the thread.

Have fun!

Here's 10.

-Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)
-Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
-Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
-Major Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell)
-Mido Ban (GetBackers)
-Maya Natsume (Tenjho Tenge)
-Nami (One Piece)
-L (Death Note)
-Amuro Ray (Mobile Suit Gundam)
-Makunochi Ippo (Hajime no Ippo)

I vote for the one and only KAMINA!!!! from TTGL

I don't think this little event can start until at least 50 different characters are nominated. So we have a ways to go.

Also, any input on whether or not this is a likable idea?

I like it so that's why I'm contributing.

So how's the seeding gonna go? What's the anime equivalent of the RPI? Who's bubble will get bursted? Who's the diaper dandy of this dance? What cities will the first round take place in? Will there be live video I can watch from my work computer or iPhone? Why won't Dickie V clamp it down? Who'd waste dough on DirecTV's March Madness subscription?

So many questions to answer, Mitsugi.

Wait, let me fix that, so many "nothing" questions to answer.

I'm determining the seeding. The anime RPI is some equation that would make the universe tear in two if we knew it. I'd say the daiper dandy of the tourney would be Shin-Chan. Tournaments will take place in Ganymeade, Tokyo, on the bridge of the Vius and then somewhere random in space.

We are working out a deal with the SOS Brigade to get some kind of live feed put up.

More details to come.

I would have picked some of the others, but people already took them, and anyways, whos gonna beat haruhi? If she wants to win, well... she can't lose XD

Rekka wrote:whos gonna beat haruhi?

Nagato would beat Haruhi, Nagato is self-aware. Haruhi is powerful, but she isn't aware of her power, so she can't control it.

Dude, nagato is just as scared of haruhis power as everyone else

Rekka, you can pick characters that have already been nominated. If a character gets multiple nominations it just means that I'll seed them higher, which is a good thing.
