Dr. Whomura vs the Dalekyuubeys
The Megatokyo Anime Forum’s annual Anime Grand Prix is winding down with a surprisingly lopsided match between Kyuubey and Homura (paralleling a much more competitive match between Saber and Durarara!!’s Celty).
The Anime forum at Megatokyo is a hot-bed of SHAFT fanboys — half the eight quarter-finalists are from SHAFT shows, and SHAFT (particularly Madoka Magica) was well represented in the earlier rounds (even Madoka’s made it into the contest).
I should probably have mentioned the AGP earlier so people could participate in more than the endgame (especially since newcomers can’t vote until after they’ve posted a few times in the forums as an anti-sockpuppet measure). While the clubby atmosphere might be a bit intimidating, campaigning in it is more fun than most anime character competitions — creativity is rewarded. While most campaigns consist of images gleaned from the net (sometimes with added commentary) some contributions can be pretty stunning (people have written video-games in support of their characters (this is made easier with the advent of HTML5)).
And some of us just do Photoshop collages with bad puns.
It’s strange. I’ve tried to join that site many times but my account always dissapears somehow while I wait for activation.
Also, this page on population dynamics is quite interesting.

Indeed it is! And buried deep among the “observations” is a delightfully atrocious pun. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
lol…omg I love this!! I can’t wait for more!
Thanks, they were fun to do.
While the clubby atmosphere might be a bit intimidating…
I’ve been on MT for years, and I absolutely refuse to anywhere in the forums other than Story Discussions. The atmosphere isn’t “clubby”, it’s flat-out exclusionary to anybody that isn’t an “I’m in here every day” regular.
I know what you mean — I never venture outside the anime, manga & cosplay sub-forum, myself.
