But still, this does not bode well. I don't see anyone voting for a Gintama character, and I'm told that Hitman Reborn isn't the moe'est of series, but 1000 votes in one direction could be a problem. Still, Code Geass with its immense Japanese fanbase dropped early in Saimoe '07, so we're probabyly fine. Spoiler for Code Geass characters in SaiMoe '07:
Holy crap, I was right! Exactly ten characters from Code Geass! And this was both a happy and sad day: 1位 1103票 Hinagiku @ Hayate no Gotoku! 2位 443票 Watarase Jun @ Happiness! 3位 321票 Byakudan Kagome @ Strawberry Panic |

@ qtipbrit92 ~ Well, the reason why I asked you to look into the bracket was to take a look at the tough line up the CG girls had. Popular as they I mean the series maybe, you have to measure that with the popularity with the other contestants in the bracket.
Using the info you linked up... Quote:

Either way, I wasn't trying to question your earlier comment, I was simply saying that series mojo helps out a lot of characters..... including the favorites around here. So, I dont believe that C.C. only made it as far as she did on series mojo alone, just as I dont believe Shana making it as far on moe alone.

oav/movies do qualify but to eligible that years Saimoe they need to have either been air or rls within the past year. which is form june to june. anything air afterward would qualify for next years saimoe and anything before would have qualify for last years saimoe.

And if I recall correctly, Code Geass was being hailed the biggest thing since Gundam by the end of 2006, so it's clearly popular by now (not now, but then.) Hopefully, the recent airing of Code Geass R2 won't change anything about that though. Your point also works the other way: Spoiler:
Yeah, unfortunately, that's true. Quote:
If a character did well based on moe/GAR/loliness alone, Shana wouldn't have won SaiLoli, Souseiseki would have never been a runner up, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:SaiGAR::Code Geass:SaiMoe. Quote:

Let me fire things up, with some preliminary campaigning
All 104 eye-catches (high-res) + more images, my review and character synopsis for Hayate no Gotoku! Mostly out of guilt for supporting Rika in the finals vs. Nagi enjoy! |

@qtipbrit92 ~ Well, measuring popularity is one thing but the genre is also something to be taken into context. I won't think that CG doesn't have any moe characters but it is just that their moeness is being outshone by other series (possibly ones which target moe traits, lots of romance series easily come into this if you compare it to a primary action series like CG). Like, even a CG fan could have voted against a CG character because they feel that their choice is more moe than the CG character, not to say that they don't feel that the CG isn't moe (I maybe a big fan of Nanali, but compared to Fate chan or Gin sama my choice is clear).

That is nonsense. We would have "all" wanted Jun to reach to the later rounds. She IS moe afterall

mm.. I actually hadn't seen Higurashi yet at the time, so I went with Nagi. haha, I was what... one of fifteen people? Quote:
Code Geass fans and KyoAni fans (outside of Japan) are usually positively rabid, but I'm a fan of KyoAni's stuff, and I hate vote their characters 80% of the time. Quote:

Well damn...
It's just that Readman's moe has seemed to go unnoticed and it needed praise. Of course people would cheer at RM's leave because there were too many fanboys who wouldn't walk away from it, making them suck up votes without losing suction.

Also, while I admit that I haven't seen about half the anime titles that ISML currently represents, that doesn't mean I still won't have all of them in my head by the time it is over. While anime plays a big part of my life, I really wouldn't consider it as the most important factor in my life, and I try to focus as much as I can on my education and real life. Still, since I have started ISML, I've made an effort to watch as many of these titles as I can - I've finished Hayate no Gotoku just recently, and whoever ends up winning Topaz or gets a higher standing on it will probably be my next target after the conclusion of finals, the exception being Clannad, since I've got that down and am merely waiting on the final episode.

If I were 2ch, I'd just accept all votes so long as they don't translate to suspected proxy banning and multi-voting. It takes me hours to figure out who is actually cheating, not factoring figuring out where each vote is coming from. Quote:

What years was Readman on the air (or is it only an OVA)? I don't see her in the 2006 or 2007 Saimoes...so either she is from before that, or she didn't make it past the nomination (or however they do it) phase.

And a piece of advise, don't ever say to someone form japan or Korea or China that. Japanese and korean are the same or Japanese or Chinese are the same. If they are polite you will only receive a dirty look if they are not polite you will get a punch in the face. Read or Die OAV was late 90s (98 or 99) and tv series was 01 or 02.

I also was mostly noting that Korea and Japan both seemed to support Hayate, Nanoha (to some extent), and Rozen Maiden among others, while people outside tend to vote KyoAni, Higurashi, and others. Of course, Korean voters and Japanese voters vote very differently as well, especially regarding KyoAni. Haruhi gets too much hate in Japan, and Lucky Star doesn't do quite as well in Korea. |

I jus hope the nanoha gals make it to top 10 like last year(jus any one of them). Since this is their last year here. Without the dolls around, competition might b ezier. N who knows, with so many new anime airing this year, some of them might pwn the oldies. We will nv know the result until the real thing. Even if popularity might win over age, i still don think its predictable for the result right now.
