Let the madness begin!

Round one of our annual Anime March Madness opens today as a field of 34 series vie to be crowned as the top anime series. Each year, we bring back the shows that do the best from previous years and mix in a variety of new competitors to keep the tourney fresh—anime both from the recent past and more classic ones.

One unique twist this year is the addition of a couple last-chance games, featuring low seeds and a couple of anime that didn’t make their way in through the play-in matches. Those are the matches you get to vote on today to cull the field down to 32. Then we’ll post four matches a day from Tuesday through Friday, with voting closing 24 hours after the matches post on their respective social media accounts. You can also vote through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Have fun voting!
