The sweet sixteen is set to kick off!
Thank you to everyone who voted during our play-in matches and the first two rounds of AniMarch Madness. We’re now in the final two weeks of the tourney, with just 16 anime remaining! Will a former champion like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Spy x Family win? Will a former runner-up like Fruits Basket or Kaguya-sama brea through? Or will a new series like Frieren or Oshi no Ko shock everyone? We’ll soon find out!
Here’s how the bracket looks entering today:
And now, round three begins! We’ve got four matches, one from each of our four regions: Emerging and Recent, Classics, Action/Sci-Fi/Horror, and Romance/Comedy/Sports. Just as with the entire tournament, you can vote here on the blog as well as on our other platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Discord, and Mastodon! Let the madness begin! And come back tomorrow for the other four matches!
