Anime Saimoe Tournament 2007 - Tournament Proper

[Branduil]

I'm surprised and pleased Rena won.

I'll support the Hidamari characters for today, though I doubt they'll win.

Besides, I'm revitalized to support Hinagiku.

Of course there's more to life than Saimoe... it's called Best Moe... HA HA HA HA HA! Oh crap... team meeting in 30 minutes... laterz!

Especially when tomorrow's match in Best Moe is none other than :: drum roll :: Fate vs. Suigintou! I wonder if all the Fate fans are going to flock there now that she's gone from Saimoe. And to all the Kagami fans in despair from yesterday's match, Kagami's still in Best Moe, and the only character remaining from Lucky Star.

Haha, me too. I'll think I might vote just to keep dolls from winning. I'd like to see a winner from a new series this time.

Yes, I definitely find that watching more anime will make you like more characters. In the end, even if one loses, you still have the others to support. Life goes on after Kagamin lost. I'll be cheering on Rika-chama!

And I'll probably vote to keep dolls from winning too because dolls are not my moe and because they dominated the tournament for the last 2 years

Kagami lost? With 600 fake votes?

Good

Now i don't need to waste my time in J Saimoe anymore.

It crossed the line for me, totally lost my trust in this competition already.

Of course, my #1 (Hinagiku), #2 (Kagami), #3 (Shana) are still all in Best Moe and I will support them the best I can. The only thing I miss is rushing and posting AA's in Best Moe, but I can always post moe comments.

THANK YOU! At least someone agree with me.


Also before going and telling someone they should watch more anime think about this 1st.

1. Does this person have broadband to be able to DL and watch anime? - No i don't i'm with dial-up in my area.

2. Does he/she have the money to go out and buy anime? - no i don't Im in the middle of jobs right now so no i can't buy any.

3. Does this person like alot of animes of many different variates? - Yes, but there is also plenty i don't like. HYnG, Nanoha to name 2

4. Would anyone be nice enough to send him anime if he/she has no other way to acquire it? - Once last year. After 4 years of asking.

Think before you speak.

You know I've been wandering... whenever a new voting thread comes up they give a summary of previous campaign posts/links. What are these categories supposed to mean?

Think before you speak.

*raises eyebrow*
*applies Relativity*
*goes back to ploughing through 2ch thread before voting*

Spoiler for Round215:

<<ヴィータ＠魔法少女リリカルなのはStrikerS>>
Extreme sense of duty. Badassery towards loss of Immortality. Despite these, being a warm member of the family.
VOTED!
<<ゆの＠ひだまりスケッチ>>
>>224, ok... that wins... I was going to vote Yuno anyway but that seals me from being swayed by the gorgeous Hayate art I'm finding around here.

I can somewhat console myself at not voting for Miyako (it's not so much Moe as Awesomeness and Comedy that she stands out in)
but Hayate... just had to go up against Yuno... Hard Choices are what measure how much Moe you feel!

But does that prioritize your opinion over those who HAVE seen these other anime?

As in, while I respect your situation and understand why you haven't seen every show on the list (hell, I have broadband and haven't) does that really give you any more leverage in what is moe and what isn't? What's to say Kagamin is the moe-est character? Moe is subjective just like morals. If anything, the loss of a great character should encourage you to research the slayer of the beast. Hell, it's what caused me to check out nanoha last year.

I dunno, just a thought.

Also, voted for Hidamari x2, even though I think Vita is a better character, Miyako is more moe for me. Today is like christmas - no matter who loses, I win. Here's to yunocchi though~

Same here; After some Nanoha characters took down several of my favorites last year, I really feel like watching the show just to see what all the fuzz was about.

So far, Nanoha is the only show I have watched because of Saimoe.

Same. I've watched Nanoha and Lucky Star after seeing their performance in Saimoe and wanting to know what the big fuss was about.

Current vote totals (inc. fake votes):
C3-2
Miyako@Hidamari Sketch = 326
Vita@Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS = 278

D3-1
Yuno@Hidamari Sketch = 319
Yagami Hayate@Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS = 290

- - - - -

Part of me suspects the Hidamari team's lead is revenge voters getting it out of their system. I wouldn't be surprised of their lead evaporates by the end of the match.

[Ryougi Shiki]

Haha oh wow.

I really like Rena, and her folder is about three times as large as my entire LS folder, so yeah.

Kagami just seems like a one-dimensional, tsundere stereotype to me. This is just my opinion.

Then again, LS was never about depth. I just like Rena a whole lot better than anyone from LS.

It would be a very tactical move and the doll faction seems to be very organized.

[Deathkillz]

Now what did i say about characters attracting the spotlight too much?

"The higher they climb...the harder they fall"

With all this hype around LS and kanon - im not surprised that most of them has failed to meet expectations. Well done for rena winning though (tbh i would have only given her about 30% credit to win so she did quite well to pull through).

As for luna...

"DESPAIR!!"

Well for a newcomer she put up a really good fight - you can just see that the nanoha fans where shitting themselves (literally) for this match to be so close XD

no regrets - better luck next time (though i really wanted to see a luna vs san match - its all up to you now san chan to get to the finals )

[Ryougi Shiki]

Yeah, I really like SnH, and I also love both San and Luna.

Then again, it's the Nanoha Machine for christ's sake. Even though I prefer Luna, they're a juggernaut that is older, and has built up a fanbase which has fans who like both, but are obligated to vote with the other Nanoha fans.

I truly hope you're wrong .

Then again Luna was winning during the first few hours. Then beamspam.

Regarding yesterday, the fact that Luna lost makes feel like a double defeat, even though Rena won, I can say that I lost Luna and Kagami...

I'm with you there, Lunar vs. San woulda been epic.

however, it was not meant to be, and considering Lunar got killed very worthily, i do not shed tears, but salute.

Regardless, Go Go San! Beat Tsukasa!

though for San's sake, Kagami losing creates massive problems. No longer will the LS Fanbase be complacent thinking it can relax. Kinda dangerous for everyone's favorite mermaid.

Ah well, Go Go Yunocchi!

Has the Anti-Nanoha faction finally woken up? It could be Runa fans looking for revenge or it could be the majority of the Nanoha fans have not yet voted. (I go for the the second assumption) I'm every bit cynical on Hidamari Sketch's ability to triumph. Looking at the current vote totals, and comparing it with last night's feels extraordinary in a way. Saimoe has been full of despair lately. Actually . . . despair for one half and joy for the other.

I'm not at all interested in today's match but if I had to choose, I'll say I want Vita to win her match. Despite her being a side character, I still find her more moe in StrikerS than Hayate Yagami.

There are alot of good support materials for today's Korean Match by the way. Honestly, I can't tell who has the edge.

And it's Gin-san vs Fate-chan tomorrow! Gin-sama fans should be more prepared for this one as Fate-chan will not hesitate to Plasma Zamber her this time.
