During this first round has anyone noticed themselves having a preference for one country over another? Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea...
Looking at matchups where films from different countries squared off:
Cambodia went 1-0 (1.000)
Taiwan went 8-1 (0.889)
China went 16-7 (0.696)
South Korea went 18-12 (0.600)
Japan went 24-25 (0.490)
Hong Kong went 18-24 (0.429)
Vietnam went 1-3 (0.250)
Singapore went 0-1 (0.000)
Thailand went 0-3 (0.000)
...and the one Taiwanese film to lose already received a fairly positive resurrection forecast review.
