Hello! We are Rin and Len! Once again, we'll be taking care of this game to provide some summer entertainment while Elizabeth-san is away. However, we'll be running a very special version of Colorseum!

Want more details?
- The Summer Special will consist of 6 rounds, featuring 32 of your favourite Japanese anime and video game directors!
- There will be up to 8 battles at the same time, in 2 separate divisions: Anime Division and Video Game Division. The division winners will meet in the final match.
- Both divisions are playing at the same time, so even if you don't know some of the participants, you can still vote for the others!
- Please avoid bribes in this tournament. It's more of a popularity poll than an actual competition.
- As usual you decide who will advance to the next round by casting your votes.
- The tied matches will be decided by seeds. The seeds were decided by your comments during the Anniversary event and our own judgement.

Now, let's see today's battles!


The tournament ladder is way too big to be displayed here in full! You can access all of the division brackets by clicking the links below:

For every person we will give you several of their most famous creations and a link to their full list of works (accessible by clicking their names).
