Remember the Aniblog Tourney? A (mostly) friendly competition between anime blogs back in the spring of 2010, the tournament pitted the websites against each other in popularity polls to determine which was the ULTIMATE JAPANESE CARTOON BLOG. After participating and getting as far as Round 2 in the last tournament, we have been invited back for the 2012 games, which feature over 100 blogs!
We’re really happy to be a part of this again. While the popularity contest format might not be the most appropriate for evaluating the wide range of anime blogs out there, the Aniblog Tourney is still a fun way to find new blogs, reach new readers, and get some constructive criticism about Ani-Gamers.
The tournament proper starts on April 15, but until then you can pore over the huge bracket graphic over at the official site. Presumably due to our win in Round 1 last year, we were automatically advanced into the second round this year, so our poll will be up on May 2. Till then, keep your eyes on Ani-Gamers for more awesome anime, manga, and video game posts!
