Madman Wants YOU... to Pick Your Top 20 Anime!

-
With an estimated 93% share of the Australian anime market there's no doubt that you'll be able to find your top 20 anime titles in Madman's back catalogue. Will you go for some time tested classics like Akira and Ghost in the Shell or something outside the square like FLCL or recommend Raxephon for the wild card slot? Well, whichever way you vote you will go into the draw to win the final Top 20 list! It's like Triple J's Hottest 100 but with more otaku and less hipsters!

Check out our Top 20 list after the jump and let me know yours!


PRESS RELEASE:

From today, anime fans across Australia (and the world) will converge on www.madman.com.au/top20 to take part in an unprecedented online voting event – to give the voice to the people and determine, once and for all, the ‘Top 20 Anime’ titles of all time!

For the next month, Madman will play host to the voting competition - which features 100 anime titles from the Madman catalogue, spanning decades of pedigree, popularity and performance - and includes the likes of AKIRA, EVANGELION, ASTRO BOY, DRAGON BALL Z and many more. There is also a ‘wild card’ entry for fans who feel strongly about something not included in the initial list of titles.

When polling closes on 5th April, a countdown will begin, revealing a new anime each day until the coveted number one spot is revealed. Voting is simple and effortlessly integrated with Facebook. Madman will be giving away daily spot prizes for voters’ comments, and on day 20 of the countdown, one lucky voter will win all 20 titles from the final list.

The voting competition is now live at www.madman.com.au/top20.

Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
