Quote:

Blogs will be pitched against each other with the winner being decided via popular vote in a poll. Each poll will open at 20:00 GMT and remain open for 48 hours.

The criteria on which you are judging them are very simple: Which would you rather read? If you had a choice between only reading one or the other, which would you choose? Try to pick the blog based on the content of the blog itself, not because you know the person in real life or on twitter of wherever.

The criteria for a blog being selected are as follows:

Must be anime-related. Last time we didn’t include manga blogs, but this time we are. The anime and manga spheres seem to be very disconnected from each other, so hopefully we can spread some of the readers of anime blogs into reading some manga blogs. We’ll also be including light novel or visual novel blogs. This also means no blogs that have a mix of things that aren’t related to anime.
Must be your own original written content. This means no translation blogs, such as 2ch thread translators or song lyrics, or blogs that post news items.
No photography blogs. This includes cosplay, figurine or travel blogs.
Must be consistently updated. To pass this, the blog must have at least one post that has proper content (so no I’M NOT DEAD YET posts) in each January, February and March of 2012.
We must also know your blog exists. This is fairly simple though. We take a look at all the blogs listed on AnimeNano, so if you’re on there then we have you down already. If you’re not listed on Nano and want to take part, simply sign up to Nano and we will add your blog to the tourney (even if you don’t want to take part in the tourney, Nano is a great way to get exposure anyway).

We're listed in Anime Nano but I guess we didn't make the cut for this year's comp.

Aww, did you skip a month in blogging? Even if your blog is not participating, I strongly advise everyone to still vote so there's less "circle-jerking" amidst the bloggers ><

There was a period of time where there weren't any posts made, but from reading I saw that there just had to be a post in each month, and that is the case here.

Well either way, I'll definitely try and get in as much voting as I can.

HAH I'll probably get creamed on the 21st. I don't really advertise my blog as I should.

I'm in, 1st round on the 28th. My first time in the tourney so I really don't know what to expect...

27th for my blog team. In yellow bracket with enzo

. Though we'd both have to make it really far to meet, an unlikely possibility. Good luck to everyone.

I look forward to seeing you guys then ^^ And good catch, ahelo--I am indeed up against another awesome blog on the 21st!
I do warn you that there can be quite a bit of "mudslinging" in the Tourney, so if you do decide to do a bit of playful jabbing, you might want to make sure the other party understands that you're just playing around ^^

Me and Marina are up today. Good luck!

Well my blog Behind the Nihon Review is currently up. If you like us at all, any support would be appreciated

(Shameless advertising I know).

Also, I'm analyzing the results from the tourney... since I don't have time to critque blogs at the moment... but when Round 1 ends, I will have a brief post on the whole round with more pie charts.

Wow, there was a massive vote-rigging controversy and I missed it completely...

Yeah, things were pretty heated there for a while. It's mostly blown over by now though, I believe.

Just a heads up that Round 3 has been delayed as staff tries to re-work the voting process!
