The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

I have to give the ROD OVA two stars becuase it's a favorite guilty pleasure show, though I've never heard of Library Wars somehow, maybe I should check that one out. I've also always heard good things about Last Exile, but can't say I've ever tried it.

Poor Darker than Black. *snif*

Wasn't sure what you meant by bottom rank, so I did it 2 ways...

Group Fire
Death Note (2007) 3
Planetes (2004) 7 (4)
Xam'd: Lost Memories (2008) 2
FLCL (2001) 7 (5)
Durarara!! (2010) 7 (6)
Spirited Away (2001) 1

Group Ice
Sword of the Stranger (2007) 7 (3)
Kino no Tabi (2003) 7 (2)
Full Moon wo Sagashite (2002) 1
Macross Frontier: The False Songstress (2009) 7 (5)
Paprika (2006) 7 (4)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2007) 7 (6)

I guess that'll do.

By bottom rank I mean that once you have numbered the titles you actually have seen, you may give any order to the other titles, so if you only have seen 3, you have three "bottom" titles to assign places 4-6.

[color="Red"]Group Fire[/color]
3 Death Note (2007)
5 Planetes (2004)
6 Xam'd: Lost Memories (2008)
1 FLCL (2001)
4 Durarara!! (2010)
2 Spirited Away (2001)

[color="LightBlue"]Group Ice[/color]
4 Sword of the Stranger (2007)
3 Kino no Tabi (2003)
6 Full Moon wo Sagashite (2002)
5 Macross Frontier: The False Songstress (2009)
2 Paprika (2006)
1 Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2007)

^ I think Group Ice is the first time we've had such divergent votes, Neane! It's so strange!

Some trivia: Years 2007 and 2008 were definitely the best years of anime so far in this century; each of them supplied 8 titles to this round to the average 3 of the other years, meaning that they kept their full top 8 (minus the winner of the year) and got one more. I suspect that year 2003 would have been similar if it wasn't because most of our participating members started watching anime after that.

Also, as we suspected back when we were doing the 2005 tournament, it is the worse year for anime since 2001. Year 2010 doesn't look any better, advancing 3 measly titles despite being in recent memory. Will any of those years have any representation in the tournament proper (besides the winning title of those years)?

Surprisingly, almost half of the 13 titles supplied by the public (as opposed to being gathered from top 8s) made it to this round and most of the other half made it all the way to the repechage round. I guess it was a fine selection, after all.
