Going to guess that the second orange group you have up there is supposed to say "Disqualified" and not "Enter the Tournament", right Maokun? I can't imagine you'd let all 8 enter the tournament. XD As much as I'd love to see Girls und Panzer go through! ;o;/

But yeah, pretty sad that the Fate/Zero 2nd Season beat out Girls und Panzer. If it had been the first season of F/Z I would have understood, but come on! 8(
The tournament is just not ready for cute girls in tank warfare yet, it seems.

Though, having only seen some clips and previews from stuff like Mysterious Girlfriend X and Mirai Nikki, I'm looking forward to finding out the reasons why people voted for these shows as we continue with the tournament! : D

It happened in the best of the decade tournament. Nearly everything I'd seen (and everything I liked) got knocked out.

Erm, I meant subbed.
And it turns out, what I tired was a different show. Haven't seen a stream anywhere of Wolf Children.

@Maokun: Any chance you could add the title initials to the show images? I had a lot of trouble keeping the shows straight during the last tourney.

It's out there...I don't remember where I found it, but a quick Google search turned up the movie for me when I was looking not that long ago. (I am going to get it once it comes out--it's one of the most beautiful animated films I have seen in a long time...and that's setting my wolf bias aside :lol:) Good luck finding it!
