2008 Best/Super Moe Tournament

[RWBladewing]

0-8

Voting for Shirley in 9 and Tamaki in 10. Would say I actually have a chance to get a win today but the trend here has never reflected the actual results (aside from Hanyuu but that was a given) so who knows. Hopefully the Shirley/Euphemia vote split won't be too bad.

[Micchi]

0-2 (1-7).

Group 9: Manami Amamiya. Massugu GO!
Group 10: Nono Nekomiya. A little known character from a little known series. Extremely adorable with a distinctive speech pattern. One of my most favourite characters. It's unfortunately this will be the last time I can vote for her. T_T

Voting for my own 'miyamiya'. lol

[Zeroryoko1974]

Voting Manabi Massugu GO! and Klein Klan today. I guess Korea really likes Eva. Utau winning here makes up for her first round exit from Saimoe

You hearby are awarded today's Tanuki Seal of Approval for Good Taste in Moe.

BTW - Will you be going to Dragon*Con this weekend?

Thank you for your approval. Where is Dragon Con? I'm afraid I don't have time to go to Dragon con, but will offer to entertain you to a cup of coffee or tea if you happen to come near Duluth area.

I share your concern, but definition of adult is anyone over 18 in Korea, and I do know many college aged male who enjoys Shugo Chara series, so let's not make a big deal of this, yet.

[Seishi]

MANABI! Top-10 character means instant vote.

Tamaki, Kana...but I went with Hayami Kohinata. Hell yes.

[DigimonTamer]

My votes for today!

Group 9 - Manami Amamiya (Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!)
Group 10 - Kana Minami (Minamike)

Dragon*Con is in Atlanta. That's why I thought there was a chance you might be going since Duluth is sort of in the neighborhood. That's assuming Atlanta hasn't already devoured it since the last time I passed through! I understand the time crunch issues, though - I ought to give it a pass this year myself, but my wife and kids really enjoy going and they'd be quite peeved with me if I backed out.

*sigh*

Anyone who is sickened by adult men finding MOE in young characters probably shouldn't be hanging out around saimoe contests.

*runs off to find some Shugo Chara!*

[OverFunk]

The kicker is that Utau is kinda OLD compared with most of the cast.

[DragoonKain3]

In fact, I consider Utau NOT to be loli at all. Damn, that's some nice curves for a young teenager there, lol

But yeah, it's been jokingly said in these boards before, that just like CCS before it, Shugo Chara is aimed at young girls, and men who targets little girls lol. So yeah, not surprised at all at the votes XD

IMO, it's ok if the young girl is purposely created for older men, but what's scary (to me) is when they find (sexual) interest in something that's supposedly for young girls.

(I know I have a weird logic)

Heh... I foolishly tried getting into a discussion about sexuality and the perception of moe in the JSaimoe thread... ain't going down that road again.

[Seishi]

Utau is kind of irritating, anyway. I wonder what those guys see in her.

[OverFunk]

Fate.

10chara.

[qtipbrit]

Yeah, Shugo Chara's viewers consist of mostly elementary girls and middle-aged men.

Aika today (Go Aria voters! Yay for Geass split vote!).
I don't really care enough to decide between Kana and Nono in group 10, so someone can decide for me.

[OverFunk]

I say Nono, since I just learned she was in this group.

[Seishi]

qtip: Manabi is sad. =(

Guess I have to be the only Hayami fan/voter around here. Such a great show. ;_;

Probably.

Nono it is.

As much as I like Hayami, I pretty much stopped looking at the contestants once I saw Tama-nee. I see Tama-nee, clicked on her, and then clicked on the vote button without taking a closer look on who her competitors are.

And looking at it now, there's also Nono, Koko, and Klein Klan on the list, but still, I have zero regrets voting for Tama-nee.

Utau is kind of irritating, anyway. I wonder what those guys see in her.

Personally speaking in terms of moe, she's setting off my osana-najimi radar from what little I've seen of her. Then again, my radar kinda gets fooled by 'best friends' and most especially 'incest' *cough*codegeass*cough*, so I can't say it's 100% accurate lol. Not like I mind either though, as they share many of the same traits as my AMP.

Now if you're talking about what guys see her sexually, I have to say, there's nothing for me to comment on apart from her actually having curves. But then again, I've seen hotter girls than her in other anime, so it's really just relative to the show she's in. The rest of the main cast are lolis, so she's certainly a notch above the rest of the cast in terms of looks, but that's about it.

[KholdStare]

G9: Hinako Mochida (#51). It was a hard decision over Manabi but it must be done. Hinako is probably one of my favorite character in m;y if not my favorite.
G10: Nono Nekomiya (#42). Old neko joke is old, but she's cute.
