Not this shit again.
I can't believe I was into this last year.
Guess Kamina is going to win it.
You know all that ridiculous GAR stuff with TTGL starts to get on my balls. It feels like an old meme somehow.
I saw a few episodes of TTGL last weekend, and let me tell you, Kamina was a huge dissapointment, he better do some crazy shit later on if he wants to even kiss the feet of Master Asia, Gutts, etc.
Well…..if you really want to know.
! He won't :(
it'd be funny if Guts won again
Well…..if you really want to know.
! He won't :(
So any given episode shows the gist of his character?
8 would probably be best for that
Don't get me wrong, he has his moments, but nothing deserving his deity-like status he carries now.
But, yeah, episode 8 is a good showcase for him.
The thing about Kamina is he himself isn't really great, it's more like he inspires other people to do great things through his charisma
He's a really overrated character, both in the fandom and by the characters in the series

that's Daisuke CP9 working his magic
I never said I expected Kamina to win the whole thing, nor for any other TTGL characters…Everyone, if in that level, has an equal chance.
The thing about Kamina is he himself isn't really great, it's more like he inspires other people to do great things through his charisma
I did some rewatching myself as well and yeah, he seemed more of an inspiration figure than a badass on fire.
that's Daisuke CP9 working his magic
I have a short term memory store in what's old and new so I cant really help it =O
I think the only TTGL character that'd stand a chance is Genome
@Cap'n:
I think the only TTGL character that'd stand a chance is Genome
Two episodes is all it took for him to show what the hell he's really made of and what a real man truly is, yeah. Though the same could be said for Kittan, but my money's still on Genome standing the longest.
I secretly want Bridget or Jun to win it all
no I want to make a mockery of saiGAR
honestly though, maybe Akagi?
Everyone hates both SaiGAR and SaiMoe, not really much point for discussion then.
Saigar at least has good intentions.

True. Reason why I made the statement in my last post is Just, the sudden ranting of the term "GAR" as well as "Not this shit again" and about other stuff took me by surprise, felt a little different when Terek started the thread for 2007's tournament last year. I mean I dont use "GAR" that much anymore, just…well, I'm not the guy who gave the tournament the title "SaiGAR". But yes, good cause-Tournament of the badasses.
I'll definitely be rooting for GARlock or Kamina to win it. Though I really don't care in the long run who wins. Even if Guts wins it again.
Master Asia or Lord Genome is who I'd want to win. Manliness of that caliber I really like so those two I'll be going for.
Lord Genome does deserve to win, but in a way GARlock does too.
Sorry, Simon can't hold a candle to guys like Master FUCKING Asia
and calling him "GARlock" makes you a fag so shut up fag
People call Simon GARlock all the time. I'm just used to him being referred to in that way.
As for Master Asia I never said he wasn't GAR. I mean the guy took out mobile suits with a scarf. That is pretty damn GAR.
GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR
shut up
Aethos, the term 'GAR' and 'GARlock' got to a point where it was so heavily overused and abusively used people got sick of the term itself. Even I realized how annoying the term started becoming, so I stopped using the term itself, a short time after TTGL ended. Well, blame the title of the tournament for having 'GAR' in it but then again, this is /a/ running the show, so…unfortunately, the term still continues to be used often and more often.
Master FUCKING Asia
Precisely.
"Garlock"…..............????
Justice G./Rival Schools' Daigo for me; he ain't nicknamed 'The Man of Men' for nothing.
I Think Garfield Should Win, Like A Field Of Gar Lol
Lolololololololololololol
"Garlock"…..............????
Basically
It comes from how the main character (Simon), later on when they get a fucking giant spaceship, dons an awesome, long jacket, ala Captain Harlock from Galaxy Express 999
and we all know about GAR or whatever
so they call him "GARlock"
Well, I think this Guy should win…
!
Or this one…
!
But being serious…
What's the point of this contest? :S
So what's the point of this exactly?
Something for homos?
BTW I dunno about you but Simon looking like a bondage slave that was ready to do Nia in the cockpit at the last ep. of the series.
4chan made this tournament to combat 2ch's SaiMoe.
What's with the black colour-set? And the "TUBE"? Whatever.
Anyway, just popped in to say SaiGar 2008 is a mixed blessing - on the one hand, this anime season sucks arse and it's going to get worse if Winter '08's forcasts are accurate. We need something to get people to watch lesser known shows like Serei no Moribito, Ashita no Joe Captain Harlock Endless Orbit SSX and Mirai Keisatsu Urashiman.
That's the good.
The bad is SaiGar Guy, a.k.a. M.D, has made NO CHANGES since the 2007 tournament, aside from tournament size. What the heck. I was hoping this one would be an IMPROVEMENT over last year, so we could control for the cheating and prevent a repeat of last year's tournament. But without these restrictions, god, this whole issue will be a mess.
At least I can contact the fellow, maybe we can straighten this stuff out. Otherwise.
This could be a disaster or another success. Considering SaiMoe this year was fail and the season sucks…another SaiGar is warranted, despite the luke-warm reception, though I'll admit, my predictions for it are grim.
And Kamina is a dead duck, his popularity will explode in his face like with Archer.
I have only three words: Alex. Louis. Armstrong.
If SaiGar's point is to combat SaiMoe, what was the point of SaiMoe?
SaiMoe is a Japanese creation. It doesn't need a reason to exist other than to have angry, sweaty hikikomori fanboys bitch at each other over which childlike anime girl is the most rapeable cutest.
@Mr.:
If SaiGar's point is to combat SaiMoe, what was the point of SaiMoe?
The whole matter is very messy, and stupid, since it gets into the logistics of Japanese otaku and we all know LOGIC and OTAKU don't really mix. I shall assay to explain though.
2ch's hardcore otaku decided that moe wasn't getting very much attention, so they started this tournament with two objectives:
1. Express one's moe (remember, moe is is supposed to be a noun, an idea specifically, describing motherly affection for females in males).
2. Have a popularity contest.
Said contest, which was originally done to have fun, became serious business because for otaku, hobbies ARE serious business. They invest huge amounts of their parent's money (hah) into their faptastic fetishes, so like any interested lobbying firm they want representation.
When "moe" became popular with the other otaku we know as "weeaboo", people became pissed. Especially people who took some interest in the contest. SaiMoe since has gotten so abnormally huge, it's lost legitimacy and often ends with massive failure - rarely is a character everyone can support 100% as being "most moe" gets elected because the huge number of bastiches are all of different, conflicting views.
…
SaiGar is a parody of SaiMoe, not just "our brand of retardation". We have multiple objectives, sharing SaiMoe's advantages and more.
1. Express one's gar (remember, gar is is supposed to be a noun, an idea specifically, describing idolization of manly/badarse men in males).
2. Have a popularity contest.
3. Bring to light an anime series that otherwise has gone ignored in previous seasons.
4. Engage in insightful, legitimate discussion of a series and its characters beyond "shik sucks" or "fudge yeah".
5. Remedy "dead" anime seasons with something interesting, and on-going to talk about (since a repost of a repost is still a repost's repost on /a/).
6. Have fun.
Ergo, we win on the off-case. Not to say there aren't numerous DISADVANTAGES, which I mentioned earlier, but suffice to say, we outweigh.
Yeah I'll just ignore that post and stick with my pal RoastBeef

Game set and fucking match.
Oh wow. I don't really care about this GAR shit but some of the winners of the matches from last year were horrible.
I mean, I know Zoro isn't the manliest character but he seriously lost to THIS BISHIE.
And how did fucking ROY MUSTANG beat KAZE. This is basically a popularity contest rather than people actually voting on MANLINESS. Lelouch fucking beat DUTCH, too! That all doesn't matter though since some super popular character like GUTTS or KAMINA is gonna win it in the end, though.
You're saying that like Gutts doesn't (or didn't, he's the reigning champ) deserve to win
Not saying that, just saying this shit is basically a popularity contest.
Of course it is.
Someone nominate good ol' Marshall Teach.
He has the strongest manliness, as measured by male stench.
