:D

I am soooooo sorry, but... I honestly don't have the time right now, unfortunately as much as I love Holo, my being prepared to start residency in a matter of weeks has to come first.

However, I will be starting work on 2 for certain but hopefully 4 S&W AMVs, which I hope will kick so much awesomeness that people will be compelled to vote for her. I hope to have them completed by mid-June... I will seek constructive criticism before posting the final versions on youtube. I will likely store the rough drafts on mediafire, so people can download and make suggestions that I will take under consideration.
I hope I am fortunate enough for my videos to be very popular. If that happens, Holo will be seen by thousands for the wonder she is and maybe boost her ratings not only in the voting but also for the S&W novels, manga, and anime!

Let me just give a small preview for each one I'm planning...
1) 80s hair metal love song (gotta love hair metal... another thing I can write about)
2) 80s hair metal heartbreak song (trust me I know what I'm doing... just wait and see... it will be beautiful)
3) A recent power ballad by a band that's been playing for years (fits very well with Holo and Lawrence's relationship)
4) A short 80s power ballad that will lean heavily on material from season 1

Sorry, but no cheating... I have only told a handful of people the specific songs I have chosen!

These exhibition pairings never cease to amaze me.

Even if I wasn't totally familiar of either character, I at least heard of the name of the character and the series they were in. But the exhibition for the next round, I'll be honest and say I'm not familiar of the characters or the series at all.

In the context of pop culture history, the next exhibition is most potent ever.

Little help

Candy Candy : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_Candy

Oscar : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_F...is_de_Jarjayes

Damn i missed Marisa vs Alice match.....

Oh well, i don't mind if either one take the lead. Still have full support for the petty thief through

Hmm, Oscar would be only the 2nd of the character in exhibition matches so far this year that I actually know something about (the other being Tamaki). My voting in them is still going to remain at 1, though. I can't vote for something I haven't watched/played in full or if I don't like either character.

Saber thrashes Kurimu
Kyou outlasts Mafuyu
Tomoyo outlasts Hitagi
Mikoto thrashes Nadeko
Hinagiku thrashes Azusa
Haruhi beats Nagi
Fate outlasts Kagami


What an awesome round, as I had hoped. ^^

Marisa losing to Alice really shocked me. Maybe a good avatar really does make a big difference. Marisa losing to Alice aside, the results this time were fairly expected. Fate did overperform to beat someone who was higher in my stats, but that's what Fate does so that's not really too much of a surprise. Kotomi did unusually well against Mei but that's SFF so once again not particularly unusual.
