Is this the very first cup? If not, where are the results of past cups?

Yes, this is the first! I thought of it some time ago, but I just recently decided to go ahead and do it.

I updated the voting rules post to include a new tiebreaker rule for the final.

I have made my selection in the first round..

I used all of the entries as I have seen all of them many times, with the exception of "Grave of the Fireflies' which I have seen once.

If I made my entries wrong, please let me know. When this was first listed, I thought that we would be choosing only two in each group, but upon re-reading the rules, I read it to mean that we use ALL that we have seen in order of preference, whatever the reason...

Have fun all!

Yeah husky, you did it right!

By the way, I think I'll rearrange the forum so this appears on the main page. Maybe after the tournament ends I'll put it back here out of the way, but it's annoying me that you have to go and look to see if there are new posts.

Hi guys! I'm new and wanted to introduce myself I haven't used a forum in probably over a decade, so this is an awesome throw-back. Hmm... okay maybe just a fun fact or two about me. The most recent anime I've started watching is season 2 of Mob Psycho. I'm originally from the US but now I live in Japan (#living the nerd dream).

I'm excited to vote on these movies!! Do you have any recommendations for what to do if I haven't seen all of them?

Posted by Kazegami on 01.14.2019, 03:14 PM:

Welcome to the Tavern, schizboot! ^.^ Hope you'll like it here.

If you haven't seen one (or more), you just leave it out.

Ok, made my choices in the second round.. Made a few changes, but left one grouping as is...

Welcome! If you're worried about having to leave a lot out, you also don't need to vote in every group.

The group stage is over! Results are posted in the information thread and the individual group threads.

Next, quarter final 1 (Only Yesterday v Laputa) and quarter final 2 (Spirited Away v Princess Kaguya) will go from tomorrow until Monday! These will be regular polls.

Posted by arren18 on 01.18.2019, 04:37 AM:

Quarter finals 1 and 2 have begun. Please note that these polls will close automatically 3 days from the time they were posted, so be careful to get your vote in on time!

Not that it will change the results in Quarter final one, but I cast my vote for 'Only Yesterday' on the first day and yet it does not seem to have appeared???

Oh, that's weird... If you have any problems in the next polls, see if you can try again to vote, and contact me if it still doesn't work. I don't know if there's anything I can do to fix the poll system, but I could maybe change the voting method if there are issues with the polls.

No problems this time... I saw and clicked the 'vote' button this time...

Eyeglasses? What eyeglasses? I don' need no stinkin' eyeglasses!

(for you young folks, I'm paraphrasing a quote from "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" starring Humphrey Bogart...)

yeah, yeah, like it says I'm da 'Old Guy'...
