/a/nime League 4: Rigging Beyond Heaven and Hell
/a/nime League 5: AKARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGED
–

The fifth edition of the /a/nime League. A tournament based on the reason 4chan was invented in the first place. This tournament hosted on Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 will have Japanese visual media from all corners of genre from Moeshit to Shounenshit, Romance to Horror, Masterpieces to QUALITY and everything in between. Whether you like a show about gigantic robots fighting overpowered burly men in loose clothing, or a few schoolgirls eating snacks, it's going to be here, and whilst it's okay arguing that your taste is superior, you have no ground to stand your opinions on...until now. This competition will pit all areas of Taiwanese Tapestry together to find out which anime truly deserves it's shitposting superiority and to rightfully call all others "trash".
