Thread Rule for this thread is same as for the Anime Saimoe Tournament 2008(Japan). Here is the copy of the rule, directly from that thread.

http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...57&postcount=1

There are some of the rules as agreed between the mods in this thread(just copying and pasting from the last year's thread.).

No Campaign Posts.

* Absolutely no campaign posts allowed.

This includes posts containing ANY campaign verbiage whether in whole or in part. Contributing to the debate is encouraged, provided you do NOT add "VOTE ABCD!!!" (or similar to the post itself). Simply rebutting another's post or opinion with "XYZ sucks" is totally unacceptable.

To be clear:

* Please do not create a post with the sole purpose to campaign for a character!
* Do not add “VOTE FOR XYZ CHARACTER!!” anywhere in your post even if the intent isn't to purely campaign.

We want intelligent, decent and fun discussions about the weekly Rounds and the subsequent winners & losers.

* No Image campaigning.
Do not create a post with an image or collage representation of a campaign poster. In other words: a PhotoShopped image of the character you want people to vote for with “vote for” text added to it.



Posting Etiquette:

* Please do not cross post information about this tournament in other AnimeSuki threads except those which are related to moe tournaments.
Keep all Anime Saimoe Tournament posts, campaigns, character information, voting links, etc., within this thread, other moe tournament threads, or in your signature (signature size limits still apply).

* No "meta-posting".
Meaning: posting about another poster, the thread or about another post itself, is forbidden and will be deleted on-the-spot, regardless of intention. If you want to comment about another poster that’s off-topic and/or personal, send them a PM.

* Any flame-baiting will be deleted and those people banned.
Please keep the thread positive, fun and clean. If your choice doesn’t win the Round and you can’t discuss the fact without complaining, swearing and baiting people into arguments, then don’t post.

* Do not create image only posts.
You can, however, include an image with your discussion. If you want to visually support the character you’re voting for then please do so in the context of your original discussion and use only one or two images. We would encourage the use of “thumbnails” if possible (and please, no large images). PM the mods if you need help with posting thumbnail images.

* can change depend upon situation

[공지사항] 2008 Best Moe Tournament match table reformed.

As number of newly added characters due to missing of few series such as Mai-Otome Zwei exceed 80, match table was reformed.
It's to comply with the internal rule - when newly added characters exceed certain proportion, that match table should be reformed, due to possibility of unfairness that can be caused by putting characters in empty space for each group.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Match tables for 2008 Best Moe Tournament Female Division is now available
Match will begin at 12th July as scheduled

Alright, let's see this K Saimoe nominations list... Usual disclaimer that I can only check series I've seen and I'm not going to exactly remember whether some shows meet the cutoff date for Summer series. Oh and I'm going to correct romanisations while I'm at it:

- 와카츠키 슈리, Syuri Wakatsuki, 若月朱里

Why "Syuri"? "Shuri" is much more natural.

- 츠라라, Churara, ツララ

I know that's how to pronounce it in Korean, but the original Japanese would be romanised as Tsurara. Even more so because later on, "츠유리" is correctly romanised to "Tsuyuri".

- 왕 류 밍, Wang Liu-Mei, ワン·リュ·ミン

Poor romanisation. "Ming" not "Mei"

- 호로, Holo, ホロ

Technically not wrong, but everyone is used to "Horo" not "Holo". The latter just isn't aesthetic.

- 노라 아렌트, Nola Arendt, ノーラ・アレント

Again, I know there's no difference in Asian tongues, but "Nora" does sound different to "Nola". From the anime's pronunciation, go with "Nora".

> Hmm... I note LS doesn't have many entries, because the few entries here fall under "last year's summer show, but they appeared too late to make it in last year". All the main characters already had their turn last year.

* Hang on, shouldn't Kanata (Konata's mother) be elligible this year? Or was she around last year based on a single photo? That'd be a terrible waste then, as she only got her development at the end of the series. Still... if we let her through, I'm sure there'd be plenty of Summer shows which would complain because the best moments of their main characters came after the cut-off date (but if they did well, they'd have received the benefit of it during the matches).

* I know she's not significant, but isn't Fumika's mother missing from the Shigofumi list?

- 시노부, Sinobu, しのぶ

Yes, "Si" and "Shi" both produce 'し' but it should be "Shinobu" here.

* Just to check... Asuka isn't in the Eva Remake Movie 1, but she's elligible because of Eva the series itself, right? As J Saimoe is going strictly by just the first movie this year, meaning Asuka isn't qualified for J Saimoe 2008.

- 쓰르라미 울적에 해답편, SkHigurashi no Naku Koro ni kai, ひぐらしのなく頃に 解

Is there any reason for that "Sk" prefix? Oh and capitalise the K of Kai

- 안녕 절망선생 2기, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Dainiki, さよなら絶望先生 第2期

Er, isn't it better known as Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? Nobody says "SZS S2" - we all say "ZSZS"

* Hmm, I see Francesca isn't elligible in Allison & Lillia. That's fine, else it'd be an even zanier case than trying to get Konata's mother in by her photo.

* Manga reader's question: was Urd's Angel ever shown in AA! Megami-sama: Tatakau Tsubasa?

- 오! 나의 여신님 싸우는 날개, AA! Megami-sama: Tatakau Tsubasa, ああっ女神さまっ 闘う翼

For that matter, shouldn't we go with "Ah My Goddess" instead of the literal "AA! Megami-sama"? "Tatakau Tsubasa" can probably stay.

- 누님, Ne-sang, ネエサン

Uh..... I haven't seen this series, but this just caught my eye. No. "Nee-san". I'll assume that 'g' at the end is a typo but "Ne-" is unconventional, put the 2nd 'e'.

- 아가씨, Ojyou, オジョウ

Again, technically correct, but we're much more used to seeing "Ojou" than "Ojyou".

* Kanokon: shouldn't Chizuru's mother be in there too?

- Cornelia li Britannia

Li is capitalised for Euphie. Capitalise it for Cornelia too.

- 천자, Tianzi, 天子

Ummu, here I draw my Touhou blood: I know just about every subbing group opted for "Tianzi", but isn't "Tenshi" more natural here? Oh well, I guess "Tianzi" is more widely recognised.

* Potemayo: I know there's a girl missing. I can't remember her name, but it's the young tomboy who appears halfway into the series.

* Genshiken 2: Again, if you technically want to include all the minor characters too, that list is missing the 2 manga-club girls.

- 집주인, Ouyasan, 大家さん

"Oya-san" is much clearer

- 요시노야 선생, Yoshinoya, 吉野屋先生

Put the "-sensei" suffix. Same with Kuwabara-sensei




And finally... HATSUNE MIKU IS ACCEPTED IN K SAIMOE TOO~~~~

we're currently checking and changing things, so thanks for notifying us.

- confirmed "Syuri" is correct name.

I know that's how to pronounce it in Korean, but the original Japanese would be romanised as Tsurara. Even more so because later on, "츠유리" is correctly romanised to "Tsuyuri".

- "Tsurara" is correct, and we fixed it - thanks for notifying us

- 왕 류 밍, Wang Liu-Mei, ワン·リュ·ミン

Poor romanisation. "Ming" not "Mei"

- "Wang Liu-Mei" is confirmed to be correct (there's an argument whether we should follow chinese or japense pronounce)
- decided to follow wiki. "Wang Liu-Mei" confirmed

- 호로, Holo, ホロ

Technically not wrong, but everyone is used to "Horo" not "Holo". The latter just isn't aesthetic.

- "Holo" is confirmed to be official and correct.

- 노라 아렌트, Nola Arendt, ノーラ・アレント

Again, I know there's no difference in Asian tongues, but "Nora" does sound different to "Nola". From the anime's pronunciation, go with "Nora".

- Kanata was in last year's tournament, and didn't made into finals.
- Fumika's mother will be added

- 시노부, Sinobu, しのぶ

Yes, "Si" and "Shi" both produce 'し' but it should be "Shinobu" here.

- "Shinobu" is correct. thanks - corrected

- that Sk thing was just appeared to be error occured during copy-and paste. thank you for notifying us - all corrected

Er, isn't it better known as Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? Nobody says "SZS S2" - we all say "ZSZS"

- will be changed into 'Ah my goddess'

- 누님, Ne-sang, ネエサン

Uh..... I haven't seen this series, but this just caught my eye. No. "Nee-san". I'll assume that 'g' at the end is a typo but "Ne-" is unconventional, put the 2nd 'e'.

- checking~ since it seems there is two way of calling nee-san.

- 아가씨, Ojyou, オジョウ

Again, technically correct, but we're much more used to seeing "Ojou" than "Ojyou".

- checking

* Kanokon: shouldn't Chizuru's mother be in there too?

- she will be included

- Cornelia li Britannia

Li is capitalised for Euphie. Capitalise it for Cornelia too.

- corrected

- 천자, Tianzi, 天子

Ummu, here I draw my Touhou blood: I know just about every subbing group opted for "Tianzi", but isn't "Tenshi" more natural here? Oh well, I guess "Tianzi" is more widely recognised.

* Potemayo: I know there's a girl missing. I can't remember her name, but it's the young tomboy who appears halfway into the series.

- we'll look for her

* Genshiken 2: Again, if you technically want to include all the minor characters too, that list is missing the 2 manga-club girls.

- we're currnetly looking for the person who worked for it, and will get it fixed.

- 집주인, Ouyasan, 大家さん

"Oya-san" is much clearer

- checking

- 요시노야 선생, Yoshinoya, 吉野屋先生

Put the "-sensei" suffix. Same with Kuwabara-sensei

- corrected

And finally... HATSUNE MIKU IS ACCEPTED IN K SAIMOE TOO~~~~

Ah, good enough standard then yes. I may not like some official romanisations (damn 'Sola'... it should be 'Sora') but sticking with official is a sound strategy. You may want to put a disclaimer saying it is the official versions though - a lot of us are used to the more natural sounding/looking variants.

[KaneDragon]

Haha @ "Holo". Damn that L/R confusion.

If I didn't have my hands full at the moment, I would undertake this quest. But I think I know a few sources that can help me out in this manner.

Either way, converting .exe to .dmg is not an easy task, if possible at all. If anything, I may have to start from scratch.

Macs are much closer to Linux than Windows aren't they? Shouldn't you be starting from Linux and if all else fails, just run a Linux terminal on your Mac and see if you can get it to work from there? The main reason to get a Mac laptop at my work place is for an easier time having portable Linux.

You know what - you're right. Now, the terminals on a Macintosh - those are pretty much, Linux supportive, aren't they? Or do I have to just recode it from a Linux machine and then test it on a Mac?

[Psieye]

Don't ask me, I'm the guy who sticks with Windows for the sake of keeping up with Comiket Doujin games, using a Linux desktop at work. If need be, I could get you in contact with a few colleagues of mine from work to discuss this.

[minhtam1638]

Okay, question - is the Linux application provided an open-source application?

[Psieye]

I'd guess yes, it's a tarball they provide in their link. In fact, a closed-source Linux application is an alien concept to me. Hence my answer even though I've never looked at it.


@Slimeball



This is from ZSZS Ep 12. Do the K Saimoe officials see that as Kyonko? If so, is Kyonko elligible this year?


Also, should Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight qualify based on the release date of the OVA (Ep 6.5), which was 10 Oct 2007? I ask because I note it's available in J Saimoe this year.

[slimeball]

@psieye

ain't really sure, but unfourtunately, i don't think she'll be able to.

as long as her identity isn't clear she won't be albe to participate -

also someone informed me that when that episode was on the air, kyoko didn't even exist

ps. it seems that manabi straight was missing from our chart, so they will be included

[Psieye]

That's a good enough reason. Whatever you decide, just be clear on it and it'll be accepted.

Originally Posted by slimeball

ZSZS aired from 2008-01-05 to 2008-03-29. Ep 12 thus falls in mid-March. ASuki's own Genderbending of Suzumiya Haruhi thread started on 20 Feb 2008, with an image of Kyonko posted on 21 Feb 2008. Your information was inaccurate.


Still, it's your guys' call - if you deem an uncertain image is not sufficient to qualify, that's a fair decision. J Saimoe may or may not decide to accept our 3 nomination votes for Kyonko - they're registered as official votes now but until she shows up in the Prelims that's tentative.

[minhtam1638]

I'm with Slimeball on this one - while Kyonko is Kyonko, the official identity of the girl in question (you don't even see her face!) is unknown, and has yet to be unidentified, so I doubt Korea will accept that.

Japan, on the other hand, did accept Ayu, Nayuki, and Makoto when they appeared in AIR...
