Old news: Cowboy Bebop, FMP TSR, Kanon and Minami-ke advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Which starts today. Time to give Ouran ALL I’VE GOT! =P
The first four matches in the of March Madness Sweet Sixteen are:
1) Clannad VS Honey & Clover
20 episodes of Clannad VS 1 of HnC… And I still vote Honey & Clover. Seems a bit unfair to Clannad and all, but I’ve already expressed my sentiments on the series a while back, and though the story is now more focused in the latest episodes, it hasn’t exactly won me over or got my vote – not that it even needs it at this stage of course.
2) Death Note VS Higurashi
I loved Death Note for all the reason I’m thinking I should have – epic suspense, killer plot twists, gripping mind games (all while they lasted anyways). I loved Higurashi for what I suppose were the wrong reasons – emo facial distortions, WTFBBQ torture scenes, the trainwreck first season and Jason’s coverage of said trainwreckage
Or maybe those were all the right reasons after all… Anyways my vote’s for Death Note for being the series of the two I can recommend with a straight face.
3) Lucky Star VS Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu?
The first of 2 Kyoto Animation series matchups (for now anyways). I spent a moment balancing Tsukasa on one hand and Sagara on the other in my head, and though the laughs from Fumoffu were superior and it had the better Seki Tomokazu role, I just couldn’t decide on this one… Now that I’ve typed all this, it tells me I should’ve gone with Fumoffu after all… Too bad I skipped this one over and allowed my brother to do this one =P Lucky Star it is.
4) Ouran High School Host Club VS Azumanga Daioh
Easiest vote for me yet? Not exactly, since I have visions of Osaka-san appearing by my bedside with a knife tomorrow morning… *shudders at thought* But I’m staying strong and giving Ouran my full support… We’ve already seen an Azumanga banner before after all…. =P
I’m at the edge of my seat anticipating the results for that 4th matchup between the comedy giants – they’re both neck and neck currently with Ouran still in the lead (!!!) though just a moment ago they were at a 50/50 deadlock (!!!!!!!!!) There’ until 11PM PST tomorrow to vote, and I’m still keeping my fingers crossed… GO GO OURAN!!!
