Dude, I assure you, that by the time the regular season is over, there won't even be a 59-4.

The only potential threats for the Aquamarine necklace are the ones sitting 4-0 and 3-1 at this point. Tsuruya be long gone.

Why are you answering a troll?

I really don't know how to go about the necklace thingie.

This is what I've been trying out, though.

I can interchange gems and background while keeping the necklace thing constant using this.
(refresh the page if the background is white.)

Spoiler for This is what I mean.:

Of course, these backgrounds are not final. I'm just using them out of laziness.
I'll see if I can connect them to the general ocean, ehh what was topaz again?, wood, sun, etc. themes.

Too much Shana doesn't exist.
You can never have enough Shana.

Ah, finally picked up Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei again after two months.

YEAR GET

In a thread related comment, this guy has nothing on MadDog. That guy was a natural and really amusing. This one is forced.

Let's see what we can do here... logo in the bottom right corner, maybe either the word "Aquamarine" or "Water" in the center right under the necklace, the names of the top 8 contestants... maybe a chain connecting them? Oh, pictures should be like this:

Spoiler for format:

1..........2
4....................3
6....................5
7..........8

Of course, while we want to make it look good, we do have to keep it simple - we need to be able to interchange easily.

Aquamarine = Water
Topaz = Sun
Amethyst = Moon
Sapphire = Earth
Emerald = Tree
Ruby = Fire
Diamond = Metal

Too... Much... Shana...

Edit : Centralise the necklace name directly below the necklace would probably look good.

Got a question though. Could the picture be slightly bigger to accomadate to word warp/text orientation?

Edit 2 : mintham. Check your e-mail.

Alrighty. It looks like I'm going to go full scale updating today.

[Cytrus]

Voting against Touka is quite painful when you're fully aware she'd get a bad enough trashing even with your support. A highly under-appreciated character.

Well, at least I got to go Sakura > Shana.

About the Clannad movie:

It will spoil about 2/3 of After Story (in a condensed way), though Toei left out the BEST scenes from the game and instead provided their own alternate retelling of said scenes. Waiting for the 2nd season is advised, but is optional for this tournament.

Anyway,

[KholdStare]

Wow, I never realized that my magical girls are doing so well. Fate has never lost and Nanoha only lost by 47.2% to a KyoAni character. She should be at the top of the 3-1's.

Can't disagree it was tough to get through at times. But just couldn't leave it alone without finding everything out. Did like it more than the first season as well.

Wikipedia is superior, especially if you like spoilers.

Rika + Hanyuu > all.
Except Shana.

Wikipedia....a very dangerous entity indeed . More than a couple times I was just going for a little bit of information and found something I wanted to try and purge from my mind. Never worked of course. A lot of information, but if you don't want to be spoiled a place one should be cautious about.

But a very great truth, the Rika+Hanyuu duo really is overwhelming.

In regards to Klashikari's blog can head here http://animehistory.wordpress.com/ca...ni-kai/page/6/
Does only cover the second season (Kai), but still an invaluable resource in getting the big picture. Also good at not spoiling things.

Would change sapphire to the sky and diamond to ice. Just my personal preference.

[Psieye]

Sky and Ice aren't Chinese Elements~

[Xellos]

Didn't realize we were going with chinese elements lol.

We honour Patchouli Knowledge~ Least we can do for her given she's not elligible to even enter.

Oh, she sure did enter...

[minhtam1638]

Alright, final decision - I'm going with cicido's logo, since it is closest to what I had in mind. However, it can be... how should I say... a little bit better. I'm just saying that it can be spicened up a bit. Not to mention you can interchange the colors easily.



The banner - still have not decided, as cicido's shot doesn't really cut it for me. Maybe for those of you who would like to build a banner around this logo or a revised version of it, it might work out.

The original! Not her offspring Big difference when the Touhou community can't be summoned~


Anyway, all nomination-entry contestants have a bio draft now. Tomorrow onwards, I'll focus on editing based on feedback already given. Oh and I need to re-write a few of (Minhtam's version of) the top 10 I guess. Maybe that'll come first.

[OverFunk]

Do doujin OVAs count for Saimoe? If so, we may have a little surprise for Saimoe 2008...

Ah, Psieye to add to your statement on how Side characters can get more moe in less screentime, it could be that negative qualities are usually never taken into account with side characters. And I see that having at least one single negative characteristic makes characters nae for some people.

(Diamond = Metal? A substance that precisely lacks metallic atoms... It's not like I can come up with a one which suits better...)
