I love you Crisu. The third Nanoha avatar is the best imo, and the improvement with the current Fate avatar is definitely better. It's more clear and less blurry. I approve.

The first or third would great.

The right hand of Hoshizora no Waltz, on the other hand, is basically full of quarter and some eighth notes, which is easier. However, I'm more used to playing complicated stuff with the right hand (since I'm a keyboard player), so Tori no Uta was definitely easier, although this discussion is completely irrelevant with anything in this thread.

Tori no Uta is much easier.
It's only a bit shorter, but I have a little under half of it down, whereas it probably took longer to learn Hoshizora. There's a good amount of repetition in both, but they both have minor ornaments that change in some repetitions. The left hand is easier in Tori, and the right still isn't much.
I'm not sure which one you played, but the re-feel version looks like it's a bit more difficult in the later pages, but still not like Hoshizora.

6/10, average: 6.3
I don't rate stuff I drop, though.
It would be much lower if I did.

I always thought the current Nanoha was a bit too... big.

I liken ZnT II to being disembowelled, after what I thought was a really rather good first season. If I had to rate (which I hardly ever do, such things are best left as fuzzy feelings in the gut than quantified I think) I'd go 2, maybe 3/10.

I can usually get over shit anime, but something that makes previously good work shit by association really irks me.

[KholdStare]

Okay, so maybe it is kinda big. In that case go with the first one.

So ZnT II is below average for qtip, not counting dropped shows. That's good to know.

Anyways, people have been misunderstanding my votes so to clarify:
1) I voted for C.C.
2) I wanted Kyou to win the match against C.C., but I want C.C. to destroy Kyou's VD.
3) I want Shana or Nanoha to win the necklace.

*choke*

Wow, I've watched the first two episodes of the first season and it is overall pretty good. But I wonder what is making season two this horrible...




Because of these? v

I better watch it alone at night



EDIT: The match should be ended right?

[Crisu]

Well it's not Kanokon-extreme. Rather it's actually pretty tame I guess, but Saito is such a lech, and for some reason the girls who have large breasts are balloons. And flat chests are washboards. There's not an inbetween.

I think I'm just ashamed of Saito or unappeased when Louise's disciplinary magic blasts don't seem to do justice in teaching him a lesson. He's really GAR at good points but then totally wrecks that reputation in others.

But you should like Colbert. I do.

[KholdStare]

The match was supposed to end like an hour ago, right?

It did. I have the results ready. Except a second computer is unavailable at this moment so results may not come out as fast.

To add to that, either I'm seeing things or the vote button is still there.

[minhtam1638]

Voting swap over. Unluckily, votes that were submitted during tabulation did not count.

KholdStare, Crisu, results coming your way.

[KholdStare]

At least I can now change my signature. What a brutal campaign.

[Crisu]

Trying a new thing where I gray out the rows of girls who cannot finish with 0.500 or better.

Spoiler for Rankings after Sapphire 7 -- Comments welcome:

Tamaki Kousaka ends her 33-loss streak!

Because of a massive T2 web in the top 6, all girls are ranked by their VD. Tomoyo overtakes Fate by one vote.

Haruhi gets a VD boost to get above Kyou. But the same ten girls are undefeated, so we still don't know who are great candidates for the Sapphire necklace.

How are Fate and Tomoyo in a T2 loop?

Okay, I didn't think that was a loop since both Kagami and Tomoyo lost to the same character.

[KholdStare]

I think Nanoha is officially out of the Sapphire Necklace running. It's going to be Kyou vs. Shana.

[FiREwing]

Spoiler for Votes sucked and I'm raging in this spoiler:

Despite Khold's efforts C.C. still lost by more than 100 votes. Nagisa got raped. Nanoha divine bustered Rika. Kagami raped. OMFG MY NAGI. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOOOO YUE!!!! HOW DID HARUHI GET 2ND MOST VOTES? I blame it on all the fuss over season 2.

TOMOYO GOT MOST VOTES? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

FUKO RAPED YURIE? I can understand though I'm not happy.

Godamnit.

[Eater of All]

Didn't think hate-voting Fuko would have this small of an influence....

Looks like it's next to impossible to win a KyoAni character with Yurie's current condition.... Perhaps I should also place my Yurie influence elsewhere as well, since my theory that everyone here equals about 10% of the votes is becoming apparant. Damn, where are those people who (somewhat) supported Yurie in Topaz?
