Site Updates - Apr 26th 2008 (Stick) | The "Anime Guys Battle" has officially come to its end, and after all the dust has settled, the winner is Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop!
It was quite the nail-biter, but in the end Spike managed to pull away at the last moment to beat Roy Mustang by a vote count of 23-20.
So, the final rankings are:
1.)Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)
2.)Roy Mustang (Full Metal Alchemist)
3.)Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin)
4.)Lt. Col. Hughes (Full Metal Alchemist)
5.)Sagra Sousuke (Full Metal Panic!)
6.)Vash (Trigun)
7.)Onizuka Eikichi (Great Teacher Onizuka)
8.)Yagami Light (Death Note)
There you have it, the top 8! I'd just like to take this moment to thank everyone who came to place their votes in the contest. Without your participation, it wouldn't have been a resounding success that it was. I'd also like to take a moment to thank the organizer of the Anime Guys Battle, Veleon. It was his idea from the beginning to hold this contest, and he organized all the matches from start to end and made sure everything was done right, and to top it off, managed to keep things going at fairly good pace, and rarely did things get delayed.
So there you have it, one contest down and hopefully another contest on the horizon. Thank you again for participating in a fun contest for everyone here at AnimeNfo!

Site Updates - Apr 23rd 2008 (Stick) | Alright, Folks! This time, winner take all! After the dust settled from the Semi's which saw a bigger voter turn out than most of us thought, we're now down to our final two!
FINAL ROUND:
Roy Mustang (Full Metal Alchemist)
VS.
Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)
There you have it, the final match is all set, and the votes are already starting to come in, if you want to place your vote, head on over to the "Anime Guys Battle" contest forum and place your vote for who you think is the best!
Also note that for ranking purposes we're also running the remaining 'consolation' brackets for final positions in the top 8! You can still vote and see if your favorite character that didn't make it into the finals can still get a decent position!
UPDATE 23/4: Since it is the final round for this contest, I decided to open up the voting so that even users who don't login can still place a vote. You'll still have to login in order to make a post, but in order to allow those users who don't want to bother to register just to vote, now you'll be able to.
Update #2: Ok that turned out to be a bad plan. It looks like unfortunately, that you'll have to vote only after registering. Sorry about that.

Site Updates - Apr 09th 2008 (Stick) | Hey everyone, here's an update on a few things going on this month.
Last month's poll was a popular one, as Uzumaki Naruto won the poll for most annoying character with 21 votes, followed by Pikachu with 18 votes. Ikari Shinji came in third with 13 votes. We have a new poll this month, asking you "What is your favorite anime genre?"
We're also looking for new ideas for poll questions, so if you've got a good question, feel free to make a post in the forums for future poll questions you'd like to see put up.
We also recently revived the introductions forum, so if you'd like to take part in the forum discussions but aren't sure where to begin, make a new thread here to introduce yourself!
Finally, I should point out the "Release Schedule" feature that is available on the website. This shows a listing of each anime series that is aired in japan by year and month, and which broadcaster aired the show. It's still a Work in Progress, but we hope that it'll become a valuable tool for users to the site.

Site Updates - Mar 24th 2008 (Stick) | Happy Easter everyone! This update is to let you know of a couple of positions which have opened up on the website staff.
The Description Editors are those dedicated individuals who fix any spelling or grammar errors that may be in a description for an existing anime or manga database entry, as well as with new entries to the website.
If you're well known among your peers for being a "Grammar Nazi", and you'd like to dedicate some time to help us out, feel free to make a post on the forums in this thread.

Site Updates - Mar 15th 2008 (Stick) | Sorry about the late post this month, it's been hectic to say the least. Last month's poll was a close one, but in the end, Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- managed to edge out True Tears by one vote, 13-12, with H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~ in third with a respectable 5 votes.
This month's poll question asks: "Who is the most annoying character?" Suffice to say, there are already a couple of characters on that list that I wished I could choke some sense into, but that's just me. :) Take a look and place your vote!
And as always, the Animenfo Anime Guys Battle rages on. Head onto the forums and vote for your favorite character!

Site Updates - Feb 18th 2008 (Stick) | Hey everyone! This update is to let you know of a couple of things.
First, the second round of the Anime Guys Battle has officially begun, and some big characters are already fighting it out. Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach, Eikichi Onizuka from GTO and Full Metal Alchemist's Roy Mustang are among those battling in the first 4 matches! If you don't want to see your favorite character get knocked out, drop by and make your vote!
Finally, I wanted to let you that there's an interesting discussion going on in the forums that basically asks the question, "What is a true anime fan?". Opinions are varied, but it's only made things more interesting. If you want to add your own opinion into the mix, make a post.
