Dragons of Earth

Dragons of Earth, because it isnt Evangelion.

Dragons of Earth

NERV (Evangelion) - 6
Dragons of Earth (X) - 7

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Man, if I were a less scrupulous sort, I could stack these matches to come up with the winner I want every time.


Baka Rangers (Negima!)

The Miko Council (Shrine of the Morning Mist)

fine by me if you make the sailor scouts win. :p


no vote for me. woudln't be fair.

Baka Rangers ^^

Baka Rangers

Baka Rangers (Negima!) - 4
The Miko Council (Shrine of the Morning Mist) - 0

One cannon fodder group eliminates another cannon fodder group in an entirely forgettable round. Moving on to something more interesting.


SOS Brigade (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

VS

Basroil Crew (Banner of the Stars)


What an unfortunate draw for me. If this one somehow comes to a tiebreaker, I will do whatever it takes to not have to choose.

Basroil Crew

Sorry for not voting last time

I wouldn't have held it against anyone if no one at all had voted there.

And incidentally, if neither group in a match gets a single vote, I'll just eliminate both of them and put something new in.

SOS Brigade

meh again. :-/

Basroil Crew I apologize for my lack o voting.

ahem... Basroil Crew

should pick up voting in here again.

Basroil Crew

Oh shit. Thanks to the update being late, it's fucking tied. I really can't bring myself to choose, but I have to and it's going to kill me to do it... I guess I'll break it in favor of the SOS Brigade, simply because it would have won anyway if my update had been timely.

SOS Brigade (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - 5 6
Basroil Crew (Banner of the Stars) - 5


Division 2 (Patlabor)

VS

DS-12 "Toy Box" (Planetes)


This is probably going to be a tough choice for some people. Feel my pain, you bastards!

Going to have to go with DS-12 "Toy Box"

Division 2

This one is tough. But to be fair I'll vote for DS-12 "Toy Box" since I never finished watching Patlabor.

Division 2

easy for me.

Division 2

Rather easy vote, yes~

Division 2

Division 2

Looks like I missed another update. If you don't expect me to do that occasionally by now, bite me.

Division 2 (Patlabor) - 5
DS-12 "Toy Box" (Planetes) - 2


Hellsing (Hellsing)

VS

TERRA (RahXephon)


I anticipate a crushing victory in favor of Hellsing, although a couple of people that I don't usually like to associate with are bound to vote for TERRA.

Hellsing

Hellsinggg

Hecksing

So much for my legendary prediction accuracy.


Tank Police (Dominion: Tank Police)

VS

Sailor Soldiers/Warriors/Scouts/Whatthefuckever (Sailor Moon)


gogogo

Sailor Soldiers, I guess.

Ug. I am not going to lie... i really don't like either of the groups but I dislike the Tank Police more so its Sailor Soldiers for me.

Soliders


Soliders

lol'd

go to hell cletus.

Oops. That's what I get for not paying attention to my grade school teachers when they taught how to spell.

Sailor Soldiers

MOON CRISIS MAKE-UP!

Tank Police \o

Sailor Scouts! (i was raised american) :p

Tank Police (Dominion: Tank Police) - 1
Sailor Soldiers/Warriors/Scouts/Whatthefuckever (Sailor Moon) - 5

Quite a slaughter. Let's do it again.




Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors

VS

Anti-Earth Union Group/AEUG (Zeta Gundam)




Anyone not voting for AEUG risks me frowning at them very disappointedly.

Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors, because im a vindictive, nasty piece of drunken shit.

AEUG

I would have voted Tank Police, oh well :o

AEUG

Samurai Troopers

AEUG less I be frowned upon. But seriously I'll vote Gundam over alot.

From the few episodes of each I have watched I am not really a big fan of either one of them, to be honest, but I enjoyed Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam a little more so Anti-Earth Union Group gets my vote.

Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors

Anti-Earth Union Group

this here is my contribution to "the cause". details of "the cause" should already be known to prak. and this here..."favor" should serve as payment for "the cause" if you know what i mean.

smftw

Anti-Earth Union Group

Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors - 3
Anti-Earth Union Group/AEUG (Zeta Gundam) - 7

Trent and Anyname, I am frowning at you. Bryan does not get a special frown since I always do that at him anyway.


STN-J (Witch Hunter Robin)

VS

The Four Divine Kings (Bastard!!)


Once more unto the breach.

STN-J

Love the Shakespeare quote btw.

Bryan does not get a special frown since I always do that at him anyway.




i love you too <3

This is unexpectedly decisive.


Space Knights (Tekkaman Blade)

VS

Great Gurren Brigade (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)



So you like Shakespeare references, Erebus? Wanna know how often you'll see them?

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

Space Knights (Tekkaman Blade),since that's one that I actually watched.

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

:laugh: *Sigh* too bad

Great Gurren Brigade

Space Knights (Tekkaman Blade)

none from me. just wouldn't be fair.

Great Gurren Brigade

My nerd cock can appreciate the space knights but I will go with Great Gurren Brigade

Great Gurren Brigade for tits.

Great Gurren Brigade

ok i decided to vote now for no reason at all and especially not cause i was swayed by pictures...

tits. i mean...yah i vote for tits

Space Knights

Great Gurren Brigade.

Sorry about the recent lack of updates. My list was lost. It's reassembled now, so regular updates will commence.

Space Knights (Tekkaman Blade) - 3
Great Gurren Brigade (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) - 6
Tits - 1

Tits lose? What kind of faggotry is this?


Dangaioh team (Dangaioh)

VS

Attacked Mystification Police Force (Silent Mobius)


I hate to come back into this after a delay with such a weak match, but I want to keep the big one to close out round 1.

Dangaioh team

Edit: The fuck is up with that double post?...I blame the niggers.

Attacked Mystification Police Force (Silent Mobius)

Attacked Mystification Police Force

Attacked Mystification Police Force

Dangaioh team

lol @ prak's post

Dangaioh team (Dangaioh)

I'd vote tits but I got to keep this serious

Attacked Mystification Police Force

Attacked Mystification Police Force

Attacked Mystification Police Force

Dangaioh team (Dangaioh) - 3
Attacked Mystification Police Force (Silent Mobius) - 6


Weirdness abounds this time. I honestly have no idea how these two wound up in here (probably requested by someone) but it should make for a somewhat amusing round. Adding a description again this time because it's probably needed.


Zein Organization (Slayers Return) - Hardcore spoilers here. I mean it. Seriously.A criminal syndicate bent on world domination, but turns out to be nothing more than two guys scheming in a run-down shack, hiring mercenaries they can't afford to pay to do their dirty work. The leader's ultimate attack spell summons a meteor from space to hurtle toward the earth, which does nothing but streak through the atmosphere so he can wish on a falling star for victory.

VS

Gung-Ho Guns (Trigun)


Yeah, this round is pretty screwy. I honestly have no idea how the Zein Organization got on the list (although it's funny that they did) and I really don't think the Gung-Ho-Guns have a strong enough group dynamic to qualify, but I really can't be arsed to dig up new entries.

In other news, Monday's update will be the final match of Round 1.

Gung-Ho Guns As Zein suck.

Suck? They're fucking hilarious, which you would know if you had actually seen Slayers Return.

Gung-Ho Guns

Zein Organization

cus Slayers > Trigun

Zein Organization

Zein Organization

Zein Organization

fucking slayers forever!

Zein Organization

I think ffs has a fair amount of Slayers nuts!

Zein Organization (Slayers Return) - 5
Gung-Ho Guns (Trigun) - 2

Astonishing stupidity wins the day and all's right with the world. EDIT: Nice last-minute vote, Ndi. :laugh:



Band of the Hawk (Berserk)

VS

Student Council (Revolutionary Girl Utena)



And this one will close out the first round. Update may be late.

Band of the Hawk plz.

Band of the Hawk plz.

I hate to go against Utena, but Band of the Hawk is the stronger group.

Band of the Hawk

Band of the Hawk for sure.

Band of the Hawk

Band of the Hawk for sure.

i thought we already voted for a berserk group. maybe this is the other side. :p

band of the hawk

Update is late because preparing Round 2 is taking longer than I expected. It should be up tomorrow.

Band of The Hawk (Berserk) will do the rest

Yeah so...slaughter

Band of the Hawk

I'd vote for the student council for the lol, but I just can't. :D Band of the Hawk.

Student council.So there.

Band of the Hawk

Band of the Hawk (Berserk) - 12
Student Council (Revolutionary Girl Utena) - 1

Yeah, the update is a bit tardy, but I've been busy. If you don't like it, go sob quietly in a secluded corner where I won't have to watch and feel guilty.

While trying to come up with a theme for this round, the best I could think of was "Anime vs Chuck Norris". If this sucks, let me know. If you like Chuck Norris and don't want me to kill him 6 times a week, your opinion is discounted.



Millennion (Gungrave) - Having become aware of Chuck's assault well in advance, Bob Poundmax has prepared a special greeting for him. Though Chuck valiantly battles his way through a horde of vicious Orgmen, he is no match for the wall of bullets that greets him on the other side.

VS

The Four Divine Kings (Bastard!!) - Before Chuck even takes two steps forward, he has been incinerated by Arshes Nei and diced by Gara. Kall-Su gets pissy about not getting a turn, while Abigail blathers to no one in particular about something else entirely.



I think everyone knows how this will end.

Millennion

Millennion

Millennion. Chuck Norris must die at all costs

chuck norris

Millennion (Gungrave) - 8
The Four Divine Kings (Bastard!!) - 0

A more thorough ass-kicking, I have seldom seen.

Chuck Norris failed to amuse me significantly, so trying something else. I guess I'll just point out moments of glory for each group.


Class 4 (Great Teacher Onizuka) - Although their plans are usually foiled by Onizuka, they have pulled some neat stunts. The one that stands out most to me is probably the perverse composite photos of Onizuka.

VS

Band of the Hawk (Berserk) - Oh screw it. When I think of Berserk, I keep coming back to that dubbing outtake where Sir Adon looks at the incoming Hawks and yells "Dammit! All my base are belong to them!" That was infinitely better than anything in the actual show.


Sorry for the late update. I'll try to do better, even though you all know I'll miss more updates no matter what I say.

Band of the Hawk

Band of the Hawk

Band of the Hawk

Band of the Hawk

Class 4 (Great Teacher Onizuka) - 0
Band of the Hawk (Berserk) - 4

I make an update on time for once and there's only four votes? Are you all just expecting me to be late now and not bothering to make sure you vote on time?


Attacked Mystification Police Force (Silent Mobius) - As I have not seen any of Silent Mobius, the only accomplishment of theirs I'm familiar with is their unremarkable feat of staying beneath my radar.

VS

Magic Knights (Magic Knight Rayearth) - Lots of heroes in lots of tales have saved lots of princesses from lots of perils by killing lots of nasty bad guys. These three, however, are the only heroes I know of who got so kill-crazed that they whacked the princess they were trying to save.



If there are only four votes again, I'm going to frown disapprovingly. I mean it.

That is surprising, considering that so far this rumble's been pretty active!

Going with Magic Knights

Magic Knights

Magic Knights

I really thought I'd voted in the last one. I must've just checked and not voted. :( My apologies!

Whoever the next person votes for

I keep forgetting that I can vote now. One last vote for the Magic Knights, and I guess that's two more thanks to Garamond, whose vote I will count for no other reason than that it's him.

Attacked Mystification Police Force (Silent Mobius) - 2
Magic Knights (Magic Knight Rayearth) - 7

Not a surprising result at all. And I expect a repeat here.


SOS Brigade (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - Well, I could list various bits of awesomeness like the battle against the giant camel cricket or the most thoroughly rigged baseball game since an old movie called It Happens Every Spring, but I think the thing that stood out most to me was the outrageously/hilariously bad student film the brigade produced.

VS

Lagoon Company (Black Lagoon) - I haven't seen much of this show, but I have to admit (for better or worse) that I've never seen another show where people in a boat shot down a helicopter with a torpedo.


Yeah, not much of a contest here for me. I'll throw in the first vote for the SOS Brigade.

Whoever Prak votes for.

SOS Brigade

SOS Brigade

SOS Brigade Maniacs ftw.

Black Lagoon

YOU WONT GET ANY BANDWAGONING FROM ME CAPS

SOS Brigade

SOS Brigade. Duh.

Though I do like Black Lagoon.

SOS Brigade (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - 9
Lagoon Company (Black Lagoon) - 1

Butts have been liberally kicked in good measure! If you don't get that reference, kill yourself now.


Mitsuba Girls Junior College Judo Club (YAWARA!) - Well, there was the time they did the thing with the people at the place because someone did something and I don't have a fricking clue because I can't find the show to watch it.

VS

The God Hand (Berserk) - Anyone remember that time they sent their legion of monsters out to slaughter the Band of the Hawk while they turned Griffith into one of them? You bloody well better, as it's pretty much the only thing they did in the show.



Even with Rezo's support, I just can't vote for a show that's so scarce, making this probably the only time I'll vote for the God Hand.

The God Hand, coz Berserk

Hmm...guess I'll go with the God Hand

God Hand

God Hand

God Hand

Mitsuba Girls Junior College Judo Club (YAWARA!) - 1
The God Hand (Berserk) - 6

Judo doesn't seem to work on demons.


Jindai High Rugby Club (Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu) - I could talk about them picking pebbles off the rugby field so none of them will trip while they practice or training for the big game, but I think the part everyone remembers most is them marching onto the field in combat fatigues and proceeding to mercilessly destroy their rivals in ways that would make John Madden look like Richard Simmons.

VS

Gunsmith Cats (Gunsmith Cats) - If only the manga counted, I could talk about how they've practically blown up half of Chicago over its run. Alas, only the 3 episode OVA series counts here, so I guess the big moment for them is chasing a Russian assassin through a construction site in a scenario that reminds me a bit of a long Spy Vs Spy strip.


I really like GSC, but I don't know if I can justify voting for them just on the merits of the OVA, and Bryan would sent a Russian assassin my way if I didn't vote for the rugby club. Therefore, Rugby Club it is.

Jindai High Rugby Club

Gunsmith Cats

Jindai High Rugby Club.

I cannot imagine how awesomely hilarious it would be if they won another round.

Jindai High Rugby Club because Full Metal Panic!

Jindai High Rugby Club :D

Gunsmith Cats

Jindai High Rugby Club (Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu) - 5
Gunsmith Cats (Gunsmith Cats) - 3

Looks like a CZ-75 and hand grenade don't actually have enough power to knock down a charging rugby player. And the underdogs plow forward once again.


Knight Sabers (Bubblegum Crisis) - Most of their battles are pretty similar, but since they all involve chicks in form-fitting powered armor suits whomping (That's such a fun word to say aloud. Go ahead and try it!) mutated robots, the cool factor is consistently high.

VS

Anti-Earth Union Group/AEUG (Zeta Gundam) - If you've seen one epic Gundam battle, you've pretty much seen em all. Outnumbered heroes wage a desperate struggle against an enemy who's just pulled a giant superweapon out of their ass. The AEUG's big battle, however, is notable because more annoying characters get arbitrarily killed off than in most other shows.


Voting for Knight Sabers.

Rezo, you're also a jerk for missing that round.

I'm tired of pointing out that eltonjohn24 is a moron. Someone else can do it from now on.

Knight Sabers (Bubblegum Crisis) - 5
Anti-Earth Union Group/AEUG (Zeta Gundam) - 0

Yowch. After two rounds, the Knight Sabers still have a perfect record.


Sailor Soldiers/Warriors/Scouts/Whatthefuckever (Sailor Moon) - What's to tell? They spend all their combat time either running from monsters or shooting repetitive attacks at them... episode after episode after episode, season after season after season.

VS

Dragons of Earth (X) - Not much to talk about when they hardly did anything as a group.


I'd vote for the Dragons of Heaven if they were in it, but given the choices, I have to vote for the Sailor Whatsits.

Sailor Whatsits

The Sailor Bunch.

The Sailor Solar System

Guess it'll have to be the Sailor Whatsits for me too - on this occasion.

I forget what the Dragons of Earth did...yea that says it all. The other group didn't do much either anyway.

Sailor Things

Dragons of Earth

Sailor Scouts

Dragons of Earth

sailor scouts! woot!

:p

Dragons of Earth

Sailor Soldiers/Warriors/Scouts/Whatthefuckever (Sailor Moon) - 9
Dragons of Earth (X) - 3

Back to the grind I go.


Great Gurren Brigade (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) - In one of the greatest stealth operations in history, they managed to sneak onto the scene while staying off my radar. In other words, I've never watched the show, so I can't comment.

VS

Mithril (Full Metal Panic!) - Oh, so many fantastic moments of glory, like the one where they went in to support Sosuke as he saved the day. Or the one where they got their butts kicked until Sosuke came to save the day. And there was the one where Sosuke got his butt kicked and they showed up just in time to get their butts kicked, giving Sosuke the time he needed to save the day.


Voting for Mithril.

Great Gurren Brigade- which pains me because I love both of these animes.

Mithril!

Watching Gurren Lagann right now...Mithril is better so far.

Mithril

Sorry. :( I love Gurren Laggan.

Great Gurren Brigade

Mithril

Great Gurren Brigade for me too (Although I loved Fummofu and TSR)

Mithril.

If they produce Tetogulaffu, I may reconsider.

Mithril.

Great Gurren Brigade (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) - 3
Mithril (Full Metal Panic!) - 7

Pretty thorough smashing there.


Section 9 (Ghost in the Shell)

VS

Danger Service Agency (Mezzo DSA/Mezzo Forte)


None of my usual pathetic attempts at humor because I'm way too busy for it. Next update will be on Friday.

I don't really care which one wins, but I'm obligated to cast a vote, so I'll vote for the DSA in protest against Gina's disappearance. If she emerges before this match ends, I'll change my vote.

Section 9

The Shinsengumi (新選組) (Special forces assigned to protect the 14th Shogun of Japan (Tokugawa Iemochi (徳川 家茂) (July 17, 1846�July 20, 1866)))
VS.
The Sekihotai (赤報隊) (Japanese political extremists in the Bakumatsu (幕末), the Japanese civil war in the 1860's.)
from Rurouni Kenshin

I am not sure whether this pairing has been suggested. (If so, ignore it) But thanks anyway.

Way to not have a clue about what's going on. Seriously, read threads and find out what they are before making an ass of yourself with posts like that.

Section 9

Way to not have a clue about what's going on. Seriously, read threads and find out what they are before making an ass of yourself with posts like that.

I apologize, I did read the initial post but I misinterpreted.
Sorry again.

That having been said I cast my vote for SECTION 9

Section 9, because I am above Prak's petty antics =P

No update today due to me being away from the office where I keep my notes. Also, pitiful turnout, guys. I'll assume it's due to the recent downtime and update on monday to allow more time for people to trickle back in.

Section 9

Had a busy week. Here is my vote.

I will vote for the Danger Service Agency because I dislike GiTS and they are getting pretty creamed.

State Military (Fullmetal Alchemist)

VS

Baka Rangers (Negima!)


Ok, now that the site's problems seem to be ironed out and I have a little free time, I'll try to get back on pace here.

State Military (Full Metal Alchemist)

Baka Rangers

State Military (Full Metal Alchemist)

State Military

state military. because of armstrong. he's funny. :D

State Military (Full Metal Alchemist)

The answer is simple:
It begins and ends with the State Military.

State Military

Okay, now that I have time to hang around FFS again, I'll try to get this rumble finished off. Regular update schedule resumes now. As I forgot to vote before, I'll toss in one for the Baka Rangers just to hinder the other one's tiebreaker ability a bit.

State Military (Fullmetal Alchemist) - 7
Baka Rangers (Negima!) - 2



Keroro Platoon (Sgt. Frog/Keroro)

VS

Team Rocket (Pokemon)


I'll probably resume writing out descriptions on Friday, but I just can't be bothered today.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that this will likely be my last anime rumble. I'm not going to pick someone to take over just yet, but feel free to toss your name into the hat if you want to try it.

Keroro Platoon

Keroro Platoon

Keroro Platoon :D

Keroro Platoon

team rocket

also. for whatever happens to the rumbling in general, i think it'd be great if we just dind't have one for a good while. i think even i'm getting a bit tired of it. so imagine the ones responsible for it.

lets plan one for next year. :p

Keroro Platoon

I'm sure it's been noticed by now, but I've pretty well abandoned this. I simply don't have the time to keep it up with any consistency.

For now, I'm closing the thread, but if anyone wants to finish it off, you can send me a PM asking for my materials. Alternatively, someone can start a new rumble. Just remember that I'm not putting it in the hands of someone who isn't an established regular or anyone that won't put a bit of effort into it.
