It's time to take another bite out of the 00s harem genre, and this time we're sinking our fangs into Gonzo's paranormal ecchi romcom Rosario + Vampire, following a human boy who gets accidentally sent to a monster high school filled with supernatural girls vying for his affection. BJ and Duffo discuss the influences of Tim Burton, a variety of classic yokai, and a fascination with showing women's underwear at all times that is unmatched by any ecchi show we have seen before.Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.

The Artsy bracket has another bye round contestant that brings Higurashi's horror thriller energy, competing against the Kanon/live action mashup that is Twilight.
 
Twilight - Koop
Love to you - vee.rain

Hero Tales moves into its second half with another direct clash between the divine star warriors, but this time allegiances shift and the empire draws closer to war. BJ and Duffo watch from episode 13 onwards and discuss water bandits, genocidal zombie militias and trying to wrap your show up in the final four minutes of the last episode.

From the ill-fated Studio Flag with character design from Fullmetal Alchemists's Hiromu Arakawa, the wuxia inspired action series Hero Tales follows a group of warriors brought into conflict due to a celestial prophecy, with each warrior being an incarnation of one of the stars in the Big Dipper. BJ and Duffo discuss a Chinese empire falling apart due to poverty and corruption, a legendary archer who starts hanging around because he really wants to hook up with your sister, and a necromancer who loves stealing and redistributing holy swords to whichever side he feels like that day.

The Frankenstein bracket brings us a new compilation featuring a lot of Kingdom Hearts cutscenes, going up against the (now identified as a Karas AMV) post-war story of Memento Mori.

Memento Mori - NightPunisher

BJ and Duffo split into chronologic vs broadcast order for the second half of Rental Magica, discovering in the process that the show doesn't entirely make sense either way. Watching from episode 13 onwards, they discuss Christmas carols for orphan ghosts, increasingly dangerous Solomonic rituals with a high failure rate, and ending your show by ruining a gay marriage.

Diary of Jane - budddha
Hit The Floor - Hwoarang

Rental Magica is a paranormal action show from Zexcs about a teenager with a cursed eye who inherits his father's wizard-for-hire business with zero qualifications or even knowledge about how magic works. BJ and Duffo watch the first 12 episodes and discuss airing your episodes out of order as an artistic statement, working with a guy named Mr Cathouse who lets four cats live inside his robes, and contaminating your body with magic radiation so that you can yell out instructions really well.Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.

Our Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei competitor comes back for round two, going up against a hyperactive entry involving Lucky Star and Haruhi dances, Dancemania music, and Italian "spaghetti fever".
 
Macabre Serenade - Ileia
