I have read this thread and I still don't know what the heck all these symbols mean. How do I vote for Redline?

EDIT:

Thanks, TSD.

* A note on Group H. Ties were to be resolved by total votes accrued over the course of the group stage. However, both Ano Hana and Persona 4 had the same record and same number of votes. This tie has been resolved by vote differential, calculated by taking the sum of the votes for less the sum of votes against. The values of the vote differential are given above.

Limed titles move on to the next round.

Brackets for the next round will be drawn shortly.

[A_Yellow_Dress]

I wish I could have voted, but considering I've only seen a few of the shows all the way through, my options are limited.
Interesting to see the ones that I HAVE watched all the way through have made it this far though. ^^ (Yay!)

[blkmage]

The next phase of the tournament will be your standard single-elimination tournament. The brackets were chosen as follows: the top ranked anime by total votes in each group is matched against the runner-up from another group. Ordering is determined by the rank of the top ranked anime of the match by group.

06 December - Puella Magi Madoka Magica vs. Tiger & Bunny
07 December - Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn vs. Hansaku Iroha
08 December - Redline vs. Hourou Musuko
09 December - Chihayafuru vs. Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season
10 December - Usagi Drop vs. Nichijou
11 December - The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya vs. Persona 4
12 December - Steins;Gate vs. Fate/zero
13 December - Mawaru Penguindrum vs. UN-GO

NOTE: Starting this round, a post for a vote will require
1. The voting code for the series you wish to vote for
2. Some supplementary text regarding your choice; this doesn't need to be very long, but, as always, feel free to talk about the matchups and defend your favourite anime

<まどまぎ>

If you thought I'd vote otherwise at all in any of its matches for any reason, then you do not know me.

[Atria35]

<まどまぎ>

I am so sad Ano Hana didn't make it. Beautiful, beautiful show.

[AnimeGirl]

*awaits for the time to vote for Steins;Gate and Haruhi* These are the only animes I have really seen this year, so I will wait 'till those battles begin!

[mechana2015]

<まどまぎ> <<<I'm sad this was the very first pair. T&B was great but Madoka was just... another tier entirely.

[Neane]

I am very sad that Mirai Nikki lost to UN-GO.

Anyway:
This is the most difficult choice of the year and I had this page full of why before my internet just all of a sudden crashed. And I had a deep and wonderfuly created review of both series. Anyway:
