Nominations for SaiGAR 2008 are open!

http://saigar08.michaeldodd.net/nominations.html

This year, the nominations will use a weighted system. Place your nominations in order of how much you want to see them take place in SaiGAR. Your top choice will gain 5 points, second will get 4 points and so on. The top 16 charactes in terms of points will become seeded, and will each occupy one side of one group.

I'm going with:

5 - Simon - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

4 - Kamina - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

3 - Kittan - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

2 - Lord Genome - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

1 - Boota - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

I'm going with:

Simon - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Kamina - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Focker Roy - Super Dimensional Fortress Macross

Archer - Fate/Stay Night

Revy - Black Lagoon

Bad news. Unfortunately the new rules count out Roy, Archer, and Revy.

SaiGAR 08 covers all characters that have appeared in at least ONE episode of a series, film or OVA that has been broadcast/premiered BETWEEN 1st December 2006 and 30th November 2007.

I think Revy is fine since there was Black Lagoon 2nd Barrage....but too bad about Roy and Archer.

I can't think of any other GAR characters this year.

Guy doesn't get a second chance either?

Lame.

What exactly is this?? Oh and IMO, Char > Roy. Maybe because I'm a Gundam fan. Lol.

A little background info on the word GAR.

To like a male character or individual for being a cool, powerful badass.

Derived from a typo ('gar' instead of 'gay') on 4chan's /a/nime image board when referring to Archer from the H-game and anime series "Fate Stay Night".

"I'm gar for Archer."

"Of course. Everyone's gar for Archer."

It's basically a tournament to find the most GAR anime character (of the season).

The field of 120 will be narrowed down to ONE. Last year (which was also the first one) Guts of Berserk won it all.

[badboy00z]

I see. Toy/ model companies such as Bandai or Yamato should hold things like this to find out what is more popular and produce merchandise this way.
