I think Akira beating Wings is even better than Lupin beating it!

I like both a lot :(
Akira though. I saw it first and it's not like Wings has a chance anyway.
Who in a million years could have guessed that Akira would win this, it is from the very far left of the field, it is.

Akira is about a schoolgirl granted with magical powers by ancient tree-dwelling espers from Jupiter. She saves the world between crotch shots.
Wings of Honneamise is about a clan of mercenary assassins in feudal Japan who are hired by the descendant of legendary dragon Lord Inferno. It too features many crotch shots.
Wings of Honneamise - 3
Akira - 11
From the original 64, only two now remain to battle for the crown.
Bubblegum Crisis - One of the defining entries in the cyberpunk genre, BGC was one of the earlier anime series to be available in North America. It centers around a group of young women known as the Knight Sabers, a team of armored vigilantes who battle against out of control Boomers (androids) and the ruthless Genom Corporation that manufactures them. The 90's saw an updated version of the series produced that greatly expanded the story of the original. It's spawned several spinoffs, but they're nowhere near as notable as Bubblegum Crisis and Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040.
VS
Akira - Even the most casual of anime fans has probably seen Akira. In the wake of World War III, Neo-Tokyo is practically ruled by gangs who battle constantly against the corrupt and ineffective government. Amidst the chaos, a motorcycle gang gets caught up in an incident involving a kid with psychic abilities, leading to one of them being experimented on and gaining powerful psychic abilities of his own, which he subsequently uses to take revenge on all of society.
Two different visions of a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. Two completely different types of storytelling. Akira definitely seems to be the favorite coming into this match, but we've seen upsets in this rumble before. Does Bubblegum Crisis have a chance or is it just more cannon fodder?

I'm a fan of Bubblegum Crisis but putting it against Akira its so obvious that Akira is the better anime.

No.
or is it just more cannon fodder?
yes.
AKIRA.
By the way, I'm going to let this one run through the weekend since I was late updating it and I'll be busy moving for the next couple days.
Also, the idea I was working with for the next edition isn't working out very well, so there will probably be some downtime while I figure out whether to make it work or move on to something else.
Double post cause the shrine is sucking today. Ignore.

Akira by a mile, but mostly on the basis of the manga.

Abstaining because the final round consists of anime that suck balls.

Girls in cool suits versus one cool bike and horrible voice/lip-synchronizing=BGC :)
Bubblegum Crisis - 7
Akira - 13
And the final round ends with a completely decisive win for:
It's going to take me some time to prepare the next edition. Feel free to use the downtime to discuss the results or to submit ideas for things you'd like to see in the future.

How about a competition for best or coolest ensemble/team/duo? For example, it could feature the Gatchaman team, Tekkaman Space Knights, Kaneda's bike gang from Akira, Dirty Pair, Lupin III's crew, Tetsuro and Maetel from Galaxy Express, the "z warriors" from Dragonball, etc. You get the picture. That's the best idea I could come up with.

This is perhaps the single most retarded thing that has been said in this entire thread.
How about the captains of bleach versus every FF character in existance. Tough call.
