Anime Saimoe Tournament 2009 (Japan)

[neutralizer]

Result
Predictions: 4-0 (67-17)
Picks: 2-2 (43-41)
Winners: Miyanaga Saki, Sanzenin Nagi, Miyafuji Yoshika, Miyamura Miyako

Really sad that Kagura didn't make it. Poor grouping I suppose. The rest was expected.

Bold is my pick, italics is my prediction.

Group H02
<<染谷まこ＠咲 -Saki->> (Someya Mako @ Saki)
<<桜咲刹那＠魔法先生ネギま! ～白き翼 ALA ALBA～>> (Sakurazaki Setsuna @ Mahou Sensei Negima! ~Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba~)
<<サーニャ・V・リトヴャク＠ストライクウィッチーズ>> (Sanya V. Litvyak @ Strike Witches)
<<桜木茉莉＠苺ましまろ encore>> (Sakuragi Matsuri @ Ichigo Mashimaro Encore)

Everyone's favorite witch (almost everyone).

Group H05
<<能乃村歩巳＠ヒャッコ>> (Nonomura Ayumi @ Hyakko)
<<白石なごみ＠あかね色に染まる坂>> (Shiraishi Nagomi @ Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka)
<<蒲原智美＠咲 -Saki->> (Kanbara Satomi @ Saki)
<<竜宮レナ＠ひぐらしのなく頃に礼>> (Ryuuguu Rena @ Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei)

Rena's gonna take everyone home. Statistically speaking, she's the strongest here.

Group H08
<<原村和＠咲 -Saki->> (Haramura Nodoka (Nodocchi) @ Saki)
<<ぶど子＠アキカン!>> (Budoko @ Akikan!)
<<古手川唯＠To LOVEる>> (Kotegawa Yui @ To-LOVE-Ru)
<<島津由乃＠マリア様がみてる 4thシーズン>> (Shimazu Yoshino @ Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th Season)

Yui has a chance here, but Saki faction might too strong.

Group H11
<<沢村智紀＠咲 -Saki->> (Sawamura Tomoki @ Saki)
<<ミキ＠しゅごキャラ! シリーズ>> (Miki @ Shugo Chara! series)
<<桃園ラブ（キュアピーチ）＠フレッシュプリキュア!>> (Momozono Love (Cure Peach) @ Fresh Pretty Cure!)
<<ヒナギク・雪路の養母＠ハヤテのごとく!!>> (Hinagiku and Yukiji's foster mother @ Hayate no Gotoku!!)

Saki faction is gonna push this one, but Hina's mother is quite cute.

[Darth Atma]

4-0 for predictions twice in a row.
Today my picks have 3-1 results. Farewell Nagonago.

Bold for picks, italic for predictions.

The next...

Group H03:
<<黒乃胡夢＠ロザリオとバンパイア CAPU2>> (Kurono Kurumu @ Rosario + Vampire Capu2)
<<諫山黄泉＠喰霊 -零->> (Isayama Yomi @ Ga-Rei -Zero-)

Group H06:
No comment...

Group H09:
<<ざんげちゃん（涼城白亜）＠かんなぎ>> (Zange-chan @ Kannagi)
<<妹尾佳織＠咲 -Saki->> (Senoo Kaori @ Saki)
<<タバサ（シャルロット・エレーヌ・オルレアン）＠ゼロの使い魔 ～三美姫の輪舞～>> (Tabitha (Charlotte Helene Orléans) @ Zero no Tsukaima ~Princess no Rondo~)

Group H12:
<<不知火明乃＠瀬戸の花嫁OVA>> (Shiranui Akeno @ Seto no Hanayome OVA)

[gamerzltd]

It is kinda funny that Nodoka got the SAME number of votes this round as in the preliminary round.

Spoiler for From Round 12, Preliminary 1:

1st 655 votes | Haramura Nodoka (Nodocchi) @ -Saki-
2nd 545 votes | Hiiragi Kagami @ Lucky☆Star OVA
3rd 466 votes | Aizawa Sakuya @ Hayate no Gotoku!!

[LazyCanuck]

well happy Sanyay Won but this is as far as she goes sadly.. no way shes gonna beat Saki

[Marisa Kirisame]

And that was my third perfect prediction in a row. Well, now I can't wait for round 2, THE most unpredictable round.

Predictions for today:
Yomi: She should be able to take this one fairly easily.
Yumiko: Two main heroines, two not quite popular shows(in terms of Saimoe), Sayoko got first-place in her second-prelim group while Yumiko was second, but Yumiko had more votes so yeah.
Zange: Sorry Kaori, no amount of beginner's luck can help you this time.
Chika: Statistically superior, also incredibly adorable.

thx, but i get this msg: ERROR:PROXY規制中！！！(40)。

so i guess i cant vote

[enxel]

I got 3-1 (50-42 global), good for Sanya and Rena ^^, I don't really have anything to comment about Nodoka so my picks for today are:

H03: Yomi Isayama @ Ga-Rei Zero

H06: Sayoko Arashiyama @ Natsu No Arashi!

H09: Zange @ Kannagi

H12: Akeno Shiranui @ Seto No Hanayome

I feel like anything can happen today but I'm more interested in the beginning of the second round so let's get this round done (hopefully with good results)

[frustra]

Predictions: 4-0 (81-11)
Picks: 1-3 (46-41-5)

\Sanya!/ ...but, Yui and Secchan ;_;

Everything went as expected, except Secchan actually getting outvoted by Mako, and Nodoka having a larger margin of victory over Yui. Rena's win confirms the 2007 semifinal rematch against Nagi 3000.

Final day of round 1 cometh.

Anime Saimoe Tournament 2009 Main Draw, Day 24

Predictions and Picks:
H03 Yomi
H06 Yumiko : Arashi
H09 Zange : Sachiko-sama
H12 Chika : Rina

Bracing for another 1-3 finish... although I was kinda torn between Chika and Rina, i decided to stick with the latter. Not much to say about this final group, but I think Yumiko will win over Arashi, because as has been mentioned, she had more votes in the prelims, and the other character from her series (Koyomi) performed relatively well, so just a hunch on this one. Now bring on Round 2!

Spoiler for not-so-alternative Nodocchi winner's card:
