The Final Four for the next two years (06 and 2007) will be hosted by the Tokyo Egg Dome.

This year's Regionals will be hosted by the following schools: Seijou High School (CCS), Ohtari Academy (Utena), Kama Kita High School (Escaflowne), and Musashino Kichijoji Higashi High School (GTO)

We havent made any selections yet for the 2007 Regionals....so your suggestions are taken

With that in mind, I nominate Mahora Academy (Negima) and Peach Moon Institution (Pani Poni Dash) as possible venues for 2007.

EDIT: Corrected the name of the school in Pani Poni Dash after realizing that I confused the name of the school with another anime done by the same company behind PPD.
