After reading the featured match between Holo and Sora, I must say that it was the worst ever!

"Sora lies in her bed, unmoved. Something is wrong inside her, but she does not know what it is. She looks out the window and notices a figure sitting on the plains. Because she emits a sense of forlornness, maybe she can tell her what this feeling is inside her heart. Sora leaves her home, walks up to the woman, and gasps. She is not shocked by the inhuman physique; rather, there is something else much more bothersome. It is if this stranger has been alone for many years, watching people from afar and seeing how much they have changed, while forgetting that they owed her so much in their previous lives. She is not angry, but sad that the memories of the current society does not remember whom to thank for all this time. Clearly, there is no way to calmly and politely ask a personal question. It seems as if the only way to make her talk is to wake her up."

There was absolutely no point to it... that and there was no mention of Holo!

Your Holo is not doing very well, the statistics show that she is currently number 49 out of 50, only beating Houki.

Which statistics would that be? Holo may be really weak right now, but "only beating Houki" would still be quite a stretch. She can still win comfortably against the weaker level 6 and 7s, at least.

Zeon fell and fell hard. A sad day.

[CrowKenobi]

It was also a good day since the copy was defeated handily by the original.

I consider Yuri as an Upgrade, not a copy.

[Ithekro]

Poor Mugi. So close to taking on Louise.

[Team Rocket Elite]

Everyone I thought would win won but several matches weren't as decisive as I expected. Charlotte really looked good against Kuroneko. It really makes me think she'll be able to hang on to a Top 16 finish. Nadeko's performance on Nymph on the otherhand makes me worry she'll fall out. I guess Holo did won but what an awful performance to almost lose to Sora. A lot of the stronger characters weren't quite able to put up the big numbers I expected. Victorique, Mikoto, Saber and Azusa didn't quite do as well as I though they would.

Agreed!

Glad to see ISML Episode 2: The Clone Wars went down as I had hoped it would.

However, Mineva's performance is like watching another Zabi get shot by Char.


Anyway, from The Clone Wars to Hirasawa: Sister vs. Sister!

Nice to see fun matches in back-to-back ISML rounds.

Yui vs. Ui is going to be one of my hardest voting decisions ever...

Are you suggesting that Shuurei's father was responsible for this result?

[Rajura]

Well, the PRC couldn't keep Holo down THIS time.

And, I'm happy with most of the results... that doesn't happen to often!

[Archon_Wing]

PRC keeping moe females down lol.

Vote for freedom imo.

Not surprising though. Mineva got most of her screen time in an OVA aimed at older Gundam fans. I doubt the majority of ISML voters know her, or if they did, would find her particuarly moe compared to the characters from otaku shows who are purposely designed to evoke those feelings.
