Well, kind of late but few comments on result...

1. Eu-kun absolutely destroy Kuroneko. With that, Kuroneko officially fell to #3. On the other hand, seeing how Kuroneko destroy Niku...
2. Iwasawa wins...I think more due to name recognition more than anything anyway (Shiori is a nobody unless someone watch Kaminomi...)
3. Good win by Erio. She's about where I expect her to be.
4. Haqua is the latest victim of losing by about 100 in that huge muddle in the middle in Nova...
5. Riko won against Minami. The bottom pile of Nova is a mess also.
6. Iris lose to Subaru...Okay, Subaru is somehow 4-3 but Iris is a lot weaker than I thought...
7. The Nova exhibition is closer than I thought. On the other hand, I wonder how many didn't even watch either anime...
8. Taiga-Azusa is basically a reversed of last year (Azusa 4497-4191 Taiga in 2011, Taiga 4520-4205 Azusa this year). Don't know whether it's Azusa losing strength or Taiga just somehow getting stronger (I mean, I doubt a single episode of OVA would swing it...)
9. Last year Shana lose by 3 to Yuki. This year Shana won by 200+. A new season does help.
10. Other are mostly as expected...

As for necklace...a 91.718 v. 79.312 swing is not nearly as bad as Aqua necklace last year (78-60 = 18 points swing). It's just weird seeing Kirino getting into an necklace match before Kuroneko do (But then, it does help to face "Tier 1" in Homura...same can be said about Yurippe and only having to face Mato, who, while gained some strength this year, is no "wild-card" material. On the other hand, Eu-kun was not expect to be THIS strong against Kuroneko...)

Taiga has this weird thing where she gets stronger every year despite getting all of nothing in terms of new material. Her 2010 was better than her 2009. Her 2011 was better than her 2010. I think her 2012 is currently looking better than her 2011. Considering how favorable getting nothing is to her, it would not surprise me if she did boost quite a bit from the OVA because it, at the very least, is something.

I think Kobato is the wildcard character and Mato is a Tier 2, but I could be wrong.

FlareKnight · 2012-05-23, 02:23

I'm happy to see how well Eu is doing. Going into this didn't really know how things would go (mostly since I haven't been around for a while), but this has been good to see. Of course easy to bring appeal thanks to certain delusions in her series

There are running jokes amongst a lot of anime fans on Twitter that Japan hasn't done a good romance since Toradora and that it's time another good one appeared.

I never cared for Toradora, but when you see comments like that reguarly, it does suggest it left a permanent impression that will linger for a while yet.

They can always animate "Golden Time", basically the university version of Toradora (Okay, it's not...)

I was basing my statement on Regal's ranking way back. Yeah, I think you're correct.

hinakatbklyn · 2012-05-23, 09:18

Going on just the seeding round match back in preliminaries to determine ranking:
Kanade > Ruri > Homura > Eucliwood > Charlotte > Kuroi Mato (Wild Card) Sena/Kobato (Tied)

Going on Vote totals and Vote difference between opponents:
Kanade > Eucliwood > Ruri I'm certain of
Sena / Kobato / Yuri / Yui-nyan have the potential to be top 5 (when not facing the 3 strongest)
Kirino may not be the strongest 7-0, but it shows that she will be around for the postseason. (Especially when 6 out of 7 matches she won by more than 1,000 (Victorique being Kirino's closest opponent)

Triple_R · 2012-05-24, 11:22

ARENA 01: Nakamura Yuri Aisaka Taiga Eucliwood Hellscythe Shana [Tachibana Kanade] Misaka Mikoto Kōsaka Kirino

My actual order of preference: Shana >>>> Yuri > Kanade, then everyone else (I have no strong preferences amongst everyone else)

Shana's my favorite girl in the match, but I'm strategically voting for Kanade based on a predictive breakdown provided by Team Rocket Elite. Basically, of the competitors most likely to win this match, my preference is Kanade.

ARENA 02: Fate Testarossa Araragi Karen Katō Marika Ibuki Fūko Takanashi Miu Hiiragi Kagami [Akemi Homura]

Very tight call between Fate and Homura. Was the last match I made a decision for. I ultimately went with Homura because I think she has a slightly better chance of winning (between her and Fate). I think it'll probably come down to Karen vs. Homura (Karen's Ok, but I prefer Homura of those two alone).

ARENA 03: [Takamachi Nanoha] Araragi Tsukihi Chiaki Kurihara Okazaki Ushio Takanashi Sora Izumi Konata Furude Rika

Nanoha is my all-time favorite anime character, so this was an easy vote, even though I do like some of her competitors.

ARENA 04: Misaki Mei Aragaki Ayase Ayuzawa Misaki Last Order Kinoshita Yūko [Inui Sana] Millhiore Firianno Biscotti

Tight call between Mei and Sana for me. Their respective anime shows left me feeling more sorry for Sana when it was all said and done, though, and part of being moe can involve making the viewer feel sorry for you.

ARENA 05: Gasai Yuno Honma Meiko Mine Riko Himeji Mizuki Hecate Shiina Mafuyu [Kotobuki Tsumugi]

For pure moe appeal, Mugi is probably the best in this match, imo. Hecate and Menma made it interesting for me though.

ARENA 06: [Nanasaki Ai] Haibara Ai

Nanasaki won the Battle of the Ais pretty much due to character design alone.

ARENA 07: Oikawa Tsurara [Kuchiki Rukia]

I know Rukia, and I like her well-enough. I'm not that familiar with the other girl in this match.

ARENA 08: Yamada Aoi [Sōryū Asuka Langley]

Ditto for Arena 7, just replace "Rukia" with "Asuka".

ARENA 09: Otonashi Io, Miniwa Tsumiki [Niiya Teiichi, Kanoe Yūko]

Same as Arena 6. Sheer character design won the day.

Nice set of matches. Well-done.

I know Kanade is involved in the match but..... ) ARENA 02: Fate Testarossa Araragi Karen Katō Marika Ibuki Fūko [Takanashi Miu] Hiiragi Kagami Akemi Homura * (Way too many to choose from. Karen was my original choice, but decided at the last minute to go with Miu) ARENA 03: Takamachi Nanoha Araragi Tsukihi Chiaki Kurihara Okazaki Ushio [Takanashi Sora] Izumi Konata Furude Rika * (Same as 2 except Chiaki was my original choice, but changed to Sora) ARENA 04: Misaki Mei Aragaki Ayase Ayuzawa Misaki [Last Order] Kinoshita Yūko Inui Sana Millhiore Firianno Biscotti ARENA 05: Gasai Yuno Honma Meiko Mine Riko Himeji Mizuki Hecate [Shiina Mafuyu] Kotobuki Tsumugi ARENA 06: [Nanasaki Ai] Haibara Ai ARENA 07: Oikawa Tsurara [Kuchiki Rukia] ARENA 08: Yamada Aoi [Sōryū Asuka Langley] ARENA 09: [Otonashi Io, Miniwa Tsumiki] Niiya Teiichi, Kanoe Yūko * (More familiar with Yuuko, but Tsumiki is much cuter) __________________

Triple_R Senior Member Author Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Newfoundland, Canada Age: 42	ARENA 01: Nakamura Yuri Aisaka Taiga Eucliwood Hellscythe Shana [Tachibana Kanade] Misaka Mikoto Kōsaka Kirino My actual order of preference: Shana >>>> Yuri > Kanade, then everyone else (I have no strong preferences amongst everyone else) Shana's my favorite girl in the match, but I'm strategically voting for Kanade based on a predictive breakdown provided by Team Rocket Elite. Basically, of the competitors most likely to win this match, my preference is Kanade. ARENA 02: Fate Testarossa Araragi Karen Katō Marika Ibuki Fūko Takanashi Miu Hiiragi Kagami [Akemi Homura] Very tight call between Fate and Homura. Was the last match I made a decision for. I ultimately went with Homura because I think she has a slightly better chance of winning (between her and Fate). I think it'll probably come down to Karen vs. Homura (Karen's Ok, but I prefer Homura of those two alone). ARENA 03: [Takamachi Nanoha] Araragi Tsukihi Chiaki Kurihara Okazaki Ushio Takanashi Sora Izumi Konata Furude Rika Nanoha is my all-time favorite anime character, so this was an easy vote, even though I do like some of her competitors. ARENA 04: Misaki Mei Aragaki Ayase Ayuzawa Misaki Last Order Kinoshita Yūko [Inui Sana] Millhiore Firianno Biscotti Tight call between Mei and Sana for me. Their respective anime shows left me feeling more sorry for Sana when it was all said and done, though, and part of being moe can involve making the viewer feel sorry for you. ARENA 05: Gasai Yuno Honma Meiko Mine Riko Himeji Mizuki Hecate Shiina Mafuyu [Kotobuki Tsumugi] For pure moe appeal, Mugi is probably the best in this match, imo. Hecate and Menma made it interesting for me though. ARENA 06: [Nanasaki Ai] Haibara Ai Nanasaki won the Battle of the Ais pretty much due to character design alone. ARENA 07: Oikawa Tsurara [Kuchiki Rukia] I know Rukia, and I like her well-enough. I'm not that familiar with the other girl in this match. ARENA 08: Yamada Aoi [Sōryū Asuka Langley] Ditto for Arena 7, just replace "Rukia" with "Asuka". ARENA 09: Otonashi Io, Miniwa Tsumiki [Niiya Teiichi, Kanoe Yūko] Same as Arena 6. Sheer character design won the day. Nice set of matches. Well-done. __________________
