I honestly like Rie a lot better in most of her non-tsundere roles (Tacos, Chika, and especially KeA).

wontaek · 2012-01-16, 03:17

Please note that the following group is valid only for the Phase I Round I. Based on the results from Round I, there will be new grouping for Phase I Round II

So, one of the group will be

Spoiler for Nova Group:

The other will be

Spoiler for Stella Group:

Please note that voters are allowed to pick up to 2 characters in each group, thus having 2 characters from same series won't have much impact in the group result.

I checked some of the groups and they seem to be correct. Good job.

Anyone wants to make a guess that how the round 2 group will look a like, by first guessing the results of round 1?

Last Sinner · 2012-01-17, 10:52

Nova 3 is just evil...Although Kurisu and Sena look to have winnable groups. Kind of ticked Ai Nanasaki is stuck in a group with Homura in it....

Possible winners for round 1...

RegalStar · 2012-01-17, 14:27

For Nova, arena 1 through 6 should be the autoqualifier's win. The first two are obvious; Madoka vs Eucliwood is also pretty obvious to me (though may not be so to other people); I don't know enough about Fear to ascertain the statement against Yui, but with AB backing her I don't think Yui is losing; Menma and Yuno are paper tigers judging from their exhibition performances last year, though I guess Ohana might be able to get close to Charlotte.

Arena 7 is quite hard to tell (and hard to pick as well, personally). I think Kurisu has a very good chance since Victorique likely isn't as strong as she was last year, but Mayushii is there too which may split some votes away from her. Arena 10 is also hard to tell since I don't know Inori well to make a sophiscated guess. 8, 9 and 11 should be the top nomination's victory, while 12 is somewhat split between Homura and Kyouko.

Stella's is simpler. Autoqualifiers will all win. Louise is not going to get many more fans than she had before since the series she's in is currently in season 4, while any potential newfound strength for Rin is at best going to b cancelled out by Nadeko's newfound strength from Nise.

Fair enough. Want to create hypothetical Round 2 grouping based on your predictions and guesses?

Here is how Round 2 groups will be formed

24/84 I support in Nova yet I have a bad feeling most of them won't make it ;-;. 30/84 for Stella slightly better compared to Nova section at least. Guess I'll be voting via which is a better character like last year

no. Being allowed to pick up to 2 character is not the same as having 2 votes per each group. If you want, you can just pick Nanasaki Ai and not exercise your other pick in hope of slightly more boost to Nanasaki Ai's ranking. I wouldn't be at such a despair about Ai's chance, since Amagami 2nd season is still going, thus Nanasaki Ai has much opportunity to get an "high impact" episode or two and be seriously boosted in popularity.

broken270 · 2012-01-19, 12:43

Algorithm for Round 2 was simpler than I thought. I may create a table depending on if I am willing to put the time to set everything up and predicting it.

As for whom I believe will win, I am pretty much aligned with Regalstar here. I think everyone who was autoqualified will advance to regular season with the exception of the last six in Nova, whom I'm suppose to believe will go to Kurisu, Aria, Kobato, Inori, Sena, and Kyouko, not Homura, whom I am still trying to figure out how strong she is. Color me crazy, if you wish.

I was kidding. I disagree, however, because I doubt SS+ will help more than the first season did, which was not much at all. It might make some people go back and watch the first season, but it wasn't so long ago so it won't be that many. I just hope the other girls' supporters also support her.

To pass time, here is a little question for you to ponder.

Which 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, or group vs group match would you like to see as an exhibition match in ISML ? If you want, you can even suggest unbalanced match up like

Team Purple ( Fujibayashi Kyou, Hiiragi Kagami ) vs Team Blue ( Fujibayashi Ryou, Hiiragi Tsukasa, Index and/or Ika-Musume and/or Reinforce II )

Team Nova I ( Akemi Homura and Tachibana Kanade ) vs Team Stella I (Louise Vallière , Misaka Mikoto )

Team Nova II ( Nanasaki Ai , Gokō Ruri Kuroneko, Eucliwood Hellscythe ) vs Team Stella II ( Nagato Yuki , Isayama Yomi, Nakano Azusa )

Team Tsundere ( Shana, Sanzennin Nagi , Tōsaka Rin ) vs Team Cool ( Yuzuriha Inori , Charlotte Dunois , Sakagami Tomoyo , Saber )

Possibilities are endless, but in addition to the match being fun, it would be nice if you can supply other reasons and explanation as what kind of data such a match can provide.

Qikz · 2012-01-24, 18:01

Ok, I'm really confused by this entire process. Can somebody inform me if Kurisu is still in it? <3

RegalStar · 2012-01-24, 18:07

I would like to see HanaKana vs Kugyu

Seriously though, aside from a match between the two most popular seiyuus in ISML, it would also be a little like Nova vs Stella since Hanazawa has the advantage in nova, while Kugimiya has the advantage in stella, so it could be a comparison on multiple fronts.

Yes , Makise Kurisu was 6th in Nova nomination and is assigned to Group 7 for the first round in prelim Phase I.

That is interesting. Care to name specific characters, since we can't have ALL Hanakana named nor all the Kugyu characters? Note that characters need not be all from those who are in prelim, thus if you think there is good reason or good laugh from having characters like Kajiwara Sora or Alphonse Elric, you are free to do so. This is just trading of ideas at this stage, thus there isn't any formal limitations, yet. Please note that we can't use the voice actors themselves as staff members have not decided on how to use real live person for exhibition.

hinakatbklyn · 2012-01-24, 22:33

Can't really think of an explanation or a reason behind my choices for a 2 on 2 match other than 2 kugimiya and 2 hanazawa representatives from a current or just recently finished series.

Hanazawa (Sengoku Nadeko / Hasegawa Kobato) & Kugimiya (Shana <or Louise for a more even match> / Kanzaki H. Aria)

(2 veterans from a current series each partnered with 2 characters representing the top 5 in nominations)

Or maybe 2 from Stella and nova who just missed out on the preliminaries like...
Millhiore Biscotti / Saitohimea & Araragi Karen / Kanbaru Suruga

RegalStar · 2012-01-24, 22:34

Specifically, I was thinking something like Kanade + Kuroneko + Hasegawa Kobato/Charlotte/Nadeko vs Shana + Taiga + Aria/Louise. Or maybe drop Kanade and Shana and fill some weaker characters like Shiina Mayuri and Nagi or Louise.
