I don't even know what Tsume is or how to say it! I am VERY surprised to see him in the finals, but I think that is very cool.

It is cool. Despite what some people think, they are a very popular company, especially outside of North America. It's great to engage that fan base and raise awareness for the forum with them.

I have no clue what a Shiryu is either, but it looks damn cool...I think it deserves to be there.

I see this one going down to the wire. These Tsume fans are for real. While the forum may not be generally identified as an Anime haven, Anime is nonetheless a universal phenomenon. Facebook is filled Anime fan groups. If this showdown match-up is suggestive of anything, it's that these fans want to win this and gain some serious legitimacy.

Shiryu is a character in the Saint Seiya manga. One of the most legendary franchises in Japan. The animation was a big hit in Mexico, Brazil, the rest of Latin America, Europe and in Asia. I loved it as a kid.

You missed the sarcasm and humor in my post.

It's cool.
