International Saimoe League 2010

[Team Rocket Elite]

Disappearence of Haruhi Suzumiya was subbed. It was too late for Yuki vs Mio (but with K-On!! I'm not sure it would have mattered) but it'll be interesting to see how much Haruhi characters boost from it.

[Ithekro]

No that was perfect timing....A final fair match between Yuki and Mio before Desappearence or K-On!! changed things.

Double Elimination though...that will be something different.

At least five years old-- old enough to go to kindergarten.

[Ithekro]

Which would make Nagisa 26 years old at her last appearance.


A MILFy Bold Nagisa is fine too.

[CrowKenobi]

And how old was Sanae?

[Ithekro]

Best guess....45
(or 40 while cosplaying as a 17 year old high school student)

Key MILFs are amazing.

Sorry... It's just that I am still trying to figure out which I like better. I suppose for the purpose of making things easier for everyone... at least on the forum... I'll go with the canonical spelling as opposed to the first way I ever saw it spelled.

Some one subbed that piece of crap of a camrip? lol oh wow. Still, I say only rabid fans will watch it. Everyone else will wait for the HQ, as camrips are horrible.

Yes! And the best thing, they don't age in physical appearance

Mikoto vs Fate, stats say another loss for Fate T.T though for some reason, I think Fate might actually win...
Mio vs Kagami, another loss for Kagami, ugh

And wow, Tomoyo vs Yuki. This is going to be very close.

ATHENAAAA!! Best exhibition match evarrr

On the topic of age, how many years did Rika live through?

[hinakatbklyn]

Many good matches to start off Topaz:

Tomoyo / Yuki - Real close, undecided
Shana / Haruhi
Hina / Nagi - 2 rivals, looks easy but I can't be so sure
Taiga / Hitagi - I'll side with experience on this one
Athena / Lilicia - I'm not sure if there's anyone outside ISML who can stand up to Athena at the moment, but I could be wrong.

[Team Rocket Elite]

I didn't expect Tōdō Lilicia to appear this soon. I figured she would be up against a weak opponent and have a good chance to win. Instead, she's going to get completely killed. I wonder if Athena was Cassiopeia's choice.

Indeed.


Yuki over Tomoyo - Not what I want but Clannad is on the decline from what I see. Tomoyo could beat anyone last year. This year she seems far more vulnerable. Plus Yuki is her opposite in style and personality - I think this could be a bloodbath.
Shana over Haruhi - Another 1k blowout inc.
Hinagiku over Nagi - Seems fairly straightforward.
Taiga over Hitagi - Eye of the Tiger > Staple of the Crab
Mikoto over Fate - I foresee a blowout and Mikoto making a big claim for Topaz.
Rin over Nanoha - If Rin is top 16 material, has to win and has to win big.
Azusa over C.C. - Not what I want at all, but seems inevitable and potentially a bloodbath. Considering Ritsu and Yui have been the target of some negative publicity this week, I'm expecting Azusa to gain some numbers.

another freaking blockbuster round....AND it features Athena!? FFS at least her opponent is not that big of a threat

Well I do see Taiga vs Hitagi as a toss up, Haruhi might test Shana, and Rin's will be hard, but I still go with all the outcomes you've said. I'm interested in seeing how Mio and Azusa do, seeing how the 2nd season 1st episode was subpar for Mio, but good for Azusa. Timing might be unlucky for C.C.

I also foresee Minatsu to lose big again as she's up against Nadeko, who's probably still high after her last round victory. Actually it's pretty interesting that the Seitokai gang are all hovering close together in the table.

But hey, the Saki girls have a pretty good chance of winning! Or at least lose by a closer margin...

[Ahasuerus]

Is there any estimate when the last episode of Bakemongatari will be released?

Putting aside the huge loss she suffered at the hands of Shana, Minatsu's second biggest loss was just under 400 votes against Fate. A loss may be inevitable for Minatsu, but I believe Nadeko will have to earn it.

What? I thought Demi had the choice of fantasy this round...

Word on bakemonogatari sub-forum is late may, or june. Though I'd expect to have some increase for Hitagi, and probably wouldn't effect Nadeko much.

When Shinbo has finished trolling everyone with Arakawa Under The Bridge.

Hm, I don't think he's trolling; I actually found it very enjoyable and found myself laughing my ass off at a lot of it (in a good way)! It kinda reminded me of FLCL for some reason, with a dash of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei thrown in for good measure

But then I appreciate most of Shinbo's work, so somewhat biased. It's good to see somebody taking chances in these days of conformity and pandering to popular tastes
