On this day in 2008, Chihiro released its first episode – Code Geass R2 episode 3. So, happy birthday to us! We had a present to give you all, but one specific step ran into trouble this week. >.<. Well, we’ll give it belatedly.

If you wish to give us birthday presents, we will accept them in the form of a paypal donation to help fund our server. Please leave a message of “I want to donate!” and put your real e-mail in the e-mail field, and we’ll send you details how.

Happy Birthday us!

So, the big winner of Round Two was The World God Only Knows, which annihilated Da Crapo with 88.7% of the vote. On the other hand, the closest matchup was where Madoka defeated Rosario+Vampire by only 6 votes.

Full round 2 results are located here.

You can also vote here on pairings for the sweet sixteen! Voting for this round expires Sunday at 11:59 PM EDT.

Happy Easter, everyone! The voting for round one of Chihiro’s April Asylum tournament has ended and I have tabulated the results. There were some close matches and, as expected, some blowouts. The strongest showing was by Amagami SS, which won with 82.33% of the vote against Kono Aozora. Mashiroiro Symphony was very close in that regard, though, winning with 81.88% against Zettai Shougeki. And, unfortunately for Kristen, “Zettai Karen Dakara Makenai” was a lie, as both Lilpri and ZKC were eliminated in the first round.

You can take a look at the updated bracket, with complete scores, in PDF format here.

I can already see there are going to be some very close matchups in round 2. The two key matchups I have my eye on are Hayate vs. Zero no Tsukaima and K-On! vs. To Love-Ru. I feel like these are both going to be very close matchups between very highly rated shows.

Now get out there and vote in round 2! Voting closes Wednesday night at 11:59 PM EDT.
