There you have it folks! The 60 shows you all voted for to make it to the Group Stage. Lots of surprises like ReLIFE being the overall top vote getter. Even with the number of shows being increased this year, there are some shows I'm a bit bummed about not ending up making it anyways (goodbye Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou, To Be Hero, Phantasy Star Online 2). However, like I mentioned before, 64 shows are making it to the Group Stage. You all voted 60 in. Now it's time to reveal the tourney admin special picks!

So 42 noms and 25 made it in.

I'm surprised Izetta didn't make it. I never finished it but what I saw was pretty great. There are a lot of awesome shows up there, though. I haven't seen many of them, but I have a few favorites for each season that I'll be backing :-D

Do I start anti-voting round 1 or wait?

Izetta started out decent, but it just got progressively worse as it went on. I'm really surprised Orange didn't make it. I mean, I knew most people didn't like the show nearly as much as I did, but man I at least thought it would make it past the nominations.

So looking at my votes:

Winter (10 for 15)

1. Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue
2. Assassination Classroom season 2
3. Dagashi Kashi

2. Flip Flappers
3. Haikyu!! 3rd Season

14. Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji LOVE Legend Star
15. Yuri!!! on Ice
Whiffed on: Keijo, www.Wagnaria, Natsume's Book of Friends, The Great Passage (all shows I haven't seen)

So overall, that's 43 for 60, and including at-large shows I'm 45 for 64. Of those 17 I missed on, 13 of them are for shows I haven't watched yet.

I had no expectations but I still come out disappointed


lmao

yes (:

The one I am amazed to make it was Koyomimonogatari.

Like I know Monogatari is a hugely popular franchise but Koyomi's legal release was limited to a cellphone app in Japan, so many people didn't know it even existed.

Doki-doki Ping Pong already out.
