The nomination is almost upon us and now, it is time to finalize the list and go into next phase. My list is as follow. The big change is dropping of Hanato Kobato and elevating Tsuchimiya Kagura 1. Saten Ruiko ( A Certain Scientific Super Electronic Gun ) : A rather complicated, yet in another sight very humane character. She is cute, with rather decent 'assets'. 2. Sakurazaki Setsuna ( Magical Teacher Negima?! ) : You guys all know my fetishes. 3. Kuronuma Sawako ( Hoping to reach you ) : She is the type that is ' Soft on the outside, but firm in the inside ". Despite various weakness, she shows strong resolve whenever it is needed. She can be cute as well. 4. Isara Gunther ( Valkyria Chronicles ) : Engineering Beauties are precious. 5. Isayama Yomi ( Servant Spirit Zero ) : I have a soft spot for the tragic heroine. 6. Amamiya Yuuko ( EF ) : No way will I ignore Maetel lookalike angel. 7. Mizunashi Akari ( ARIA ) : Let's accomplish the Aquamarine Miracle. 8. Shihou Matsuri ( SOLA ) : There is much to like about her. May be the best role by Noto Mamiko. 9. Tsukamoto Yakumo ( School Rumble ) : Imouto Moe!!! 10. Tsuchimiya Kagura ( Servant Spirit Zero ) : Byakuyei is merely an option. and if we do go to 12 11. Toudou Shimako ( Holy Mary watching you ) : She is a goddess. White Rose for the Win!!! 12. Chiba Kirino ( Bamboo Blade ) : Unfurl the Golden Lion Flag!

That's the thing. I think Hanyuu will lose because Hanyuu herself has NOT shown that she has power at all. It's obvious that's I'm having the same stance on Hanyuu as when Demi. said Fate will lose to <insert any character besides Nanoha here> in DE then making excuses saying that MSLN is unpopular.

Damnit percentages. My Excel capabilities are nil, and I can't pinpoint percentages for the life of me, so I'm just going with whatever random number pops up in my head.
Shana (77%) > Tamao (23%) - I realized 5 minutes after I wrote Tamago that I spelled her name wrong. Since this isn't Jmoe, I would reckon that's a pretty good indicator of the difference in popularity between these two lovely girls.... Hanyuu (52%) > Saten (48%) - This can really go either way, and I'm not going to underestimate Saten when she's in such a popular show as Railgun. Still, Higurashi has an established fanbase, so I'm going with her on this one. Also, see below. Nagi (60%) > Nadeko (40%) - Hayate is still quite strong as of current. But even if Bakemonogatari's is stronger, it doesn't change the fact that Nadeko existed only in, let's see, about 4 episodes. Not to mention her arc had some horrible production issues too. Quote:
But of course, as of this moment, Hanyuu should probably still in the lead. It's not like it's easy to flip a shrine maiden's long dress anyway!

From a while ago. I don't think anything has changed, though I'm behind on Unimeko right now.
Hmmm. (There have been only two ISMLs so far...the rules just keep changing slightly) Kana Minami - Minami-ke - 2007 (Because she's done fairly well in Saimoe dispite lossing early on) Haruka Minami - Minami-ke - 2007 (Because "Haruka is Amazing") Mio Akiyama - K-On! - 2009 (Has more potential than what was shown in Saimoe...should be on par with Yui) Yuki Mori - Space Battleship Yamato - 1974 (old school moe) Maetel - Galaxy Express 999 - 1978 (old school/sad girl moe) Beatrice - Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 2009 (Beatrice is moe...if you can't see it, you will) Shannon - Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 2009 (another Kugimiya Knight in training/touching scenes) Tessa Testarossa - Full Metal Panic! - 2002 (Return to us) Ryoko Achakura - The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya - 2009 (chibi-Ryoko is cute and paired with Yuki is practically half the show) Usagi Tsukino - Sailor Moon - 1992 (for the hell of it/semi-old school moe) Alternates: Chiyo Mihama - Azumanga Daioh -2002 (If "Osaka" can't, why not try the moe one of the group?) Sakaki - Azumanga Daioh - 2002 (Tall/cool moe) Satoko Hojo - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - 2006 (left out so many times) Maria Ushiromiya - Umineko no Naku Koro ni -2009 (Cute...when not going insane) Ange Ushiromiya - Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 2009 (You'll see)

Fate really did look that bad going into DE last year. My stats going into DE had Fate above just Nanoha and Kagami and tied with Taiga. Fate did go on to beat Suigintou but that was way more Suigintou falling off the face of the Earth than underestimating Fate. Quote:
1 Rin looked good at the end of last year. She was stronger than the less popular Clannad girls and should be stronger than Ushio as well. Yui versus Tsukasa is also a bit tough. I think Yui has enough to take the win, but it'll be close. Ushio (CL) [46.43%] vs Tohsaka Rin (FSN) [53.57%] Hirasawa Yui(K-ON) [51.32%] vs Hiiragi Tsukasa (LS) [48.68%]

The only evidence you have of it being popular is Fate's performance, but Vita and Hayate are rather significant characters and they do horribly. Why? Because they don't have name recognition like Fate or Nanoha, and their series popularity only hurts them even more.

How strong do you think Saten is compared to Misaka? I don't mean in a head to head matchup since Misaka would crush Saten and make her look worse than she really is. I mean how much worse (or better?) than Misaka do you think Saten would do against a neutral third character of close strength (like Nayuki, Chii or Reimu or something like that).

Rin (56%) > Ushio (44%) - What TRE said++
Yui (56%) > Tsukasa (44%) - Both are moeblobs. One is recent, one is ancient. One is completely a main character, one is less of a main character. EDIT:...Why do you think so? It seems to me that Mikoto has been exploited much more, and has made a much stronger impression on people than Saten ever has.

Ushio almost lost to Kyons sister, and Yui is a potential top 16 candidate. Rin and Yui should win relatively easy, with at least the very least a 10% margin to spare.

1 Shana
2 Hanyuu 3 Nagi Though I admit Im willing to give Saten (btw Sateeeeeeen wwwwww <33) a fair chance and Im havent seen Nadeko in Bakemono yet. 4 Rin because Rin is hot ohohoho yes most stupid reason to vote for ever. 5 Tsukasa because I like her more. Yes Im going to suck horribly again in fantasy. And percentages are so elitist (゜┐゜) |

I forgot about Ushio's match. That was pretty bad. Defintely drop Ushio by about 8 to 10 percentage points. Yui is defintely top 16, but I think you're underestimating Tsukasa. Shana and Tomoyo barely broke 60% on Tsukasa. If you want to drop Tsukasa's percentage by 10 points, Yui becomes one of the toprunners to win the contest. That may turn out to be true, but I won't buy it until Yui actually has a match to show her stuff. I could probably stand to increase Yui's margin of victory by 2 or 3 percentage points, though.

Shana and Nagi I don't see losing. Hanyu may still be the favorite, but Ruiko does have some potential and the railgun series is still current. I give her a minor advantage (Action/comedy over horror is usually my way of voting even if the character is strong in the series).
Can't really speak for anyone else, but the slow speed of the Index series as well as some horror aspects put Misaka Mikoto and any other major characters at a disadvantage. (I didn't get past the first 5 episodes of Index. I should of kept going.) I don't see that happening with the railgun series. (Much better) (Edit): I'm going to add in Rin Tosaka and Yui Last edited by hinakatbklyn; 2009-12-27 at 18:49. Reason: More voting choices |

The thing is I believe that Railgun is the Clannad of saimoe this year. That may turn out to be wrong, but I'm just getting the Toradora vibe now.
Also, Index series, what? Railgun =/= Index, and Railgun is currently anything but "slow" and "horror."

We've already seen what a month of Railgun anime has done for Misaka from the Relagation tournament and it was a fairly large boost. However, I also think that that was the bulk of the boost she's going to get from Railgun.

I'm only getting a vibe of Toradora, not the whole feeling. I seriously think Saten is around #20-22 on a 50-character scale where #25 is 0.500. But like I said, from now until April, Saten's screentime will be reduced a whole lot, unless JC Staff changes things.
EDIT: I still think Hanyuu will win, but more along the lines of wontaek, where a random episode boost can give Saten the win.

Well with the noms really near, I guess it's safe to say that this is my final list:
Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell - Mahou Sensei Negima! Kagurazaka Asuna - Mahou Sensei Negima! Hasegawa Chisame - Mahou Sensei Negima! Mizunashi Akari - Aria Chiba Kirino - Bamboo Blade Perrine-H. Clostermann - Strike Witches Hecate - Shakugan no Shana Kate - Sketchbook Yin - Darker than Black Sawako - Kimi ni Todoke I'm very sorry but those following three that I planned to nominate before are going to be left behind: Kobato - Kobato Yuuki Mikan - To-Love-Ru Akatsutsumi Momoko - Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z I greately approve!! :P Quote:
A Kirino was left behind, so sad ;-;.

On another note, I don't see Railgun being anywhere near the strength of Clannad, or Taiga. Kotomi will be a tad too much (54-46%) for Misaka, and the other (main) Clannad will straight up beat her down.
