I overlooked many spelling mistakes in the answers and awarded full points. For example, Newb sent in Ganta (2010) instead of Gantz (2010), answer was obvious, points given.
Some others sent in H-Men (1958) instead of The H-Man (1958) but I awarded them points as well.



Let's see how you all fared in this Challenge...


Nightmare_Of_Death - 45 points
realdealblues - 45 points
Newb - 45 points
Straker - 45 points
Weapon X - 45 points
Gorephobia - 0 points (**NO ENTRY SUBMITTED**)
Zero - 45 points
ImmortalSlasher - 45 points
FreddyMyers - 45 points


Contestant Zero's entry was amazingly detailed. Not only did he send in all English names and their original Japanese names, he also sent in the japanese names written in JAPANESE!!

Easy, monkey man, I can't read Japanese. And if it was in frustration over the last Challenge, apologies.

So, what will be the penalties for losing and awards for winning this Challenge?

Let's see ...NEXT!!
