and for those who think Hina's match will be a walk in the park, i'll just have to remind you guys of these excerpts from three years ago:

Spoiler for space:

I feel a little bad voting in this round. Luna's quirk (being insane) is enough to make it a match between Hinagiku and Suzu. Whoever wins, we win. I'm leaning towards Suzu, actually, but that may change. Either way, Hina's series mojo makes the result pretty clear.

I'll be supporting Luna-chan and Barasuishou today. One vote won't make such a difference and I'm pretty convinced Luna-chan will get taken down by Hinagiku. But oh well, voting for who I like best. I just hope nobody attacks Luna-chan with fake votes. If they do, I'll be VERY sad.

Argh, it's too bad that Runa had to meet with Hina so early, but this is no brainer for me. Definitely voting for Hina, and Hina's contests will continue to be no-brainers for me unless she meets up with Kagami, then I would have to give it some thoughts.

I think more on Luna side...Hinagiku is pretty tough,even without fake votes help,she could win this match without much problem..

Luna on the other hand...pretty much gonna need some underhand tactics to beat Hinagiku down...

It's nice to see so many votes for Hinagiku. I'm pretty confident that she'll win. This haiku made me go "awww":

what happened next was obvious

[ac195]

Whats with the Angel Beats! voting numbers... I really don't understand the 2ch otaku anymore... how... why?

When I watched AB!... I thought, it was ok. If anything, it was a kinda lazy KEY project, but overall it was ok... I hate to say it, because I love Moe, but I'm starting to think maybe I should cut back a little...

[Mesousa2877]

Chise, Mafuyu or Hina.

This would've been a awesome battle if it wasn't for Hina's OVER 600 votes.

Himeko will disappoint a lot of K-On fans, because of her group, she's the lowest on who got votes.

[frustra]

well, time to get back into action. voting Hinagiku and Yamada. predicting both of them to win. let's do this.

[uis]

Okay enough with sarcastic comment yesterday time to move on...

Voting Yamada and Chise...

[Seishi]

:insert KaneDragon-esque campaign pics for Akiko here:

Now, let's see if Chise can avoid getting overrun.

[OverFunk]

Yamada and Mafuyu.

Also, I bet I will get a code today, just watch it. And that this match will have a really high number of votes, perhaps breaking the recent records set.

[Wanderer]

Voting Yamada and ?????. Really undecided between Chise, Hina, and Mafuyu. They're all pretty even and relatively high on my list. Guess I'll browse youtube for character material to help me decide...

[NissanNut]

The break is over! Yamada and Hina get my votes today!

Block E1-5
<<山田葵＠WORKING!!>> (Yamada Aoi @ Working!!)
Block F1-5
<<桂ヒナギク＠ハヤテのごとく!!>> (Katsura Hinagiku @ Hayate no Gotoku!!)

I don't feel like repeating good comments about either that have already been mentioned before. I bet it gets annoying to the haters...

[Seishi]

Nooooo Chise-sama. MNO is the new TLR now. Fitting since both mangas are illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki

[Xellos-_^]

To be expected in this kind of match.

[OverFunk]

Mafuyu is getting a good share of fakes, but are they enough to stop her?

[imbehindyou]

will vote today for Yamada and Mafuyu

I know Hinagiku is upperhand here but i want see good match not some rape again. Please don't destroy my expectation so early XD...

I wouldn't exactly say confident. Being on another level doesn't mean much on this contest. I'd say Mio was on another level compared to Kana and we all know how that turned out. >_> I'm just saying it's possible that Hinagiku could win big. I'd personally expect something closer to Shana vs Yuri. The final gap beteen Hinagiku and Mafuyu/Chise will probably be around 50 votes.


My usual daily match writeup:

Votes:
Kyon's sister
Shiina Mafuyu

Prediction:
Yamada Aoi
Katsura Hinagiku

First match should be a pretty easy win by Aoi. Aoi is one of the strongest characters in the tournament and her opponents are all fairly weak.

Hinagiku vs Mafuyu vs Chise is an interesting match. Mafuyu and Chise are both characters that should easily make Round 2 under average conditions. They had the misfortune of drawing a candidate for winning the tournament Katsura Hinagiku. In past contests, Hinagiku has shown that she is incredibly powerful but just not enough to actually win. Mafuyu and Chise aren't weak, but they shouldn't be at Hinagiku level. However, they are defintely both strong enough to snipe Hinagiku if Hinagiku doesn't take the match seriously.

Voting Hina, and I have a bad feeling.

HnG fans shouldn't take this one lightly.

[Marisa Kirisame]

3rd, 12 votes, Miria Marigold Mackenzie @ Jewelpet Tinkle
4th, 9 votes, Umenomori Chise @ Mayoi Neko Overrun!

loooool

Voting Yamada and Mafuyu, hoping both would win~

Regarding fakes, it seems to be a master at work. The large clusters of Yamada/Mafuyu and Akiko/Mafuyu votes are suspicious, but they all managed to have a different comment.

Edit: As of most recently, ALL 4 characters in the running got a identical vote spike at the exact same time. Yeah.....

[jorez]

Damn, I have to restart my router lol. I won't let Hinagiku-sama go out in my first round vote.

For one, it wasn't a Key project. Just Maeda and Na Ga.

Ghosts of 2007 still around, eh?
