It's been merely the oldest and not largest for quite a while.
I didn't mention Best Moe because it was so pitifully organized and their response to cheating was laughable. Though I guess they remain operational.
ISML wins by default, sadly...
In the end, this is what happens when xenophobia and factionalism happens so much; you end up with an extremely stratified, boring, and one sided contest. It became so blatantly obvious that the voters in J-saimoe weren't going after the most moe female character, but just wanting their pet show to win, even if they have to push a trash character in. Now, this happens elsewhere, but nowhere else is it so blatant and obnoxiously calculated. Though I guess there's no reason to have taken such an obscure contest in another country so seriously in the first place.
Just ignore me though; I think my idea of moe is just out of touch with the rest of people.
And this is exactly why Character fanboyism > Series Fanboyism
