Well I'm sure those who could load the image would not mistake that character for anyone else but Nagi.
Was this throughout the whole day? Because the graph for Nagi was pretty steady the whole way through.

No wonder Nagi goes nowhere. At least she'll probably survived into main round, and finish around mid-bottom as usual (I mean, this is not JST, where she'll get into final and lose ) Quote:

Aside from Mayo Chiki girls making it a bit further, no surprises. None of the 2011 crew fared well enough to be top 16. Then again, Sena, Kurisu and Homura are in the next lot of matches and were indicated as being the strongest of that year.

I think what disappoints me the most about these results is how all the new girls aren't able to even so much as scratch the 2011 competitors. In every single arena the winner was somebody who took part in ISML 2011. And the margin of victory was substantial (if not massive) in every single case.
This wouldn't be that big of a problem if all of the 2011 competitors were in their own division, but as is... At a personal level, there's results I really like (Haruhi winning, Yuri winning, some others) and some I wasn't fond of (the three Madoka Magica girls not doing better), but the bigger issue overall is simply the glaring inability of the new girls to even hang with the ISML 2011 girls if these results are any indication. I guess we'll see how Akemi Homura can do... A secondary disappointment for me was the lack of older girls managing to rebound much. So far, this is looking like ISML 2011 all over again...

That's at least somewhat debatable. Besides, the problem with the next set of matches is that we're not seeing many (if any) cases of strong new girls going up against strong/mid-tier ISML 2011 girls.
The first batch of matches is much more clear-cut here, and what it's showing isn't promising, imo.

A good set of matches to kick off ISML for the year. Largely it seems the characters that finished in first didn't beat down everyone else as badly as they normally would in a 1 on 1 match. This makes it difficult to judge whether they changed in strength or not. From the Nova division I was quite impressed with Menma. She looks a fair bit stronger than when she lost to Ika Musume in an exhibition match last year. I think she would win a rematch fairly easily now. The two Fairy Tail characters looked quite good this year. I'm looking forward to seeing how well Erza Scarlet does in the next set of matches. If Kisaragi Chihaya's performance is any indication, the Idolm@ster characters don't look too hot. I expected her to at least be able to beat Poplar. It's too bad since I really like Chihaya a lot. While Ohana isn't weak, I also expected a bit more from her. I thought she can stick a bit closer to Yuno. For the second year in a row, the off season is not kind to the Hayate characters. Nagi once again took a fair sized hit in strength and falls below Ui and Last Order. Despite the ability to vote for two character, some characters are still getting hammered by split votes. Houki should still be way stronger than Poplar. Isayama Yomi really shouldn't doing better than Rei and Asuka.

ARENA 01: Erza Scarlet Hecate Hyūga Hinata Index L. Prohibitorum [Misaka Mikoto] Suigintō [Yūki Mikan]
*(Obvious choices) ARENA 02: [Hanekawa Tsubasa] Hoshina Utau Izumi Konata Kushieda Minori Nagato Yuki [Saten Ruiko] Shiina Mafuyu *(Voted Hanekawa for Nisemonogatari rather than Bakemonogatari. Ruiko > Mafuyu was kind of tough for the other vote) ARENA 03: [Fate Testarossa] Kamio Misuzu Kanzaki Kaori Kotobuki Tsumugi [Nakano Azusa] Okazaki Ushio Oshino Shinobu *(No second guessing) ARENA 04: Alice Haibara Ai [Hiiragi Kagami] Hinamori Amu [Sakurano Kurimu] Shana Shirai Kuroko *(Was tempted to vote Alice > Kagami) ARENA 05: Aisaka Taiga [Holo] Kotegawa Yui Kuronuma Sawako Maria [Suiseiseki] Tainaka Ritsu *(Almost voted Taiga but went with a Rozen Maiden representative) ARENA 06: [Fujibayashi Kyō] Hiiragi Tsukasa Illyasviel von Einzbern [Katsura Hinagiku] Kinomoto Sakura Lala Satalin Deviluke Ryūgū Rena * (#1 and #4 overall. Obvious choices) ARENA 07: Astarotte Ygvar Makise Kurisu Miki Sayaka [Nakagawa Kanon] [Shiina Mayuri] Shinonome Hakase Victorique de Blois *(Mayuri is my main choice, but deciding on my second choice with Lotte and Kurisu in the same match was very tough) ARENA 08: [Akaza Akari] Anjō Naruko Kanzaki H. Aria Kirishima Shōko Kōsaka Kirino [Minato Tomoka] Oshimizu Nako *(Toughest group. I had to leave out Aria, Shouko and Kirino.) ARENA 09: Amami Haruka [Dalian] Elucia de Lute Irma [Hasegawa Kobato] Horizon Ariadust (P-01s) Kuroi Mato Yarizui Sen ARENA 10: Aragaki Ayase Irisviel von Einzbern [Shiomiya Shiori] [Ueno Kirika] Uryū Minene Yamada Aoi Yuzuriha Inori ARENA 11: Amaha Miu [Haruna] Hoshii Miki Kaga Rin [Kashiwazaki Sena] Laura Bodewig Mine Riko ARENA 12: Akemi Homura Hakamada Hinata [Haqua du Lot Herminium] Iwasawa Asami Nanasaki Ai Sena Airi [Toshinō Kyōko] *(Another tough group. I would have voted Homura, and maybe even Sena Airi any other day, but Haqua and Toshino Kyouko had a higher priority)
