ARENA 01: Tachibana Kanade [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)]

The Exhibition matches were very easy, although that's admittedly partly due to ignorance on my part. :heh: Each match had at least one girl in it that I knew well, but in none of them did I know all three.

Kanade vs. Kuroneko was a tough choice for me.

Arena 1 was a bit hard. I don't like and I don't dislike both Kuroneko and Kanade, so I guess abstaining would be best. But since I dislike abstaining I went for Kanade in the end, since I think she deserves it more after destroying so many girls.:p

Arena 2 was really easy. Go Taiga!

Ok let's go Kuroneko and Mikoto. They might have beaten down some characters I liked, but gotta support them going ahead.

GOGO TAIGA! We need a fresh face among the Tiara Winners :D

Kanade does deserve support for her dominance, but the dominant don't always have to win. Still... I like her a little better than Kuroneko :uhoh:

Would have voted for Eureka but the recent sequel isn't doing it for me at all (and her scenes inconsequential), and especially after watching that P.O.S. OVA :twitch:

Enjoyed voting for little Masaki of Kimi to Boku; she deserves some love :)

Can't say I paid much attention to the exhibition matches. I don't think any will make a real impact aside from maybe Mayaka.

Look at the bracket. Right now, Taiga, Shana, and Mikoto are on the same side of the bracket regardless of who wins today. So whoever of those 3 gets to the final, they may have to defeat the other two, possibly gathering hate votes. Meanwhile, Kanade can just cruise through the other side of the bracket without getting much harm. Fans of Taiga/Shana/Mikoto have to realize that bitterness will get them nowhere, so they work together for a greater cause.

Would've voted for Xiaomei if she had been in the second or third Exhibition group.

I never thought I'd come back here again. ;)

You needed a better show

I'm quite sure I tried to vote for Ibara but it didn't go through. Too bad! (Much like how I treated her show)

After missing out a chunk of voting without internet..

(Not huge fan of all 3 either. Ibara gets my vote only b/c she's from Hyouka...)

@Archon_Wing: While picking a character from AO, we wanted to pick a protagonist too, but Eureka simply has more popularity and we can only pick one character.

A chance to vote for Rea AND Yuuko?

I like dat.

Nice to see the gifs return.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm going to support anyone BiriBiri's against with even if it meant voting for my most hated characters--namely any Kugyuu character and Kanade. I don't like Mikoto to win the second time around.

And the missing one vote for Eucliwood was from my cousin. Maybe someone could also feel the pain, of being someone who changed the route of global-scale event.

If you want Taiga to win it all, however, you have to consider letting Mikoto beat Shana first in PS2. This way, Taiga won't beat Shana directly and lose those crucial Shana votes. (Also, not to mention the last time Shana and Taiga met, Shana completely destroyed Taiga.)

If the tiebreaker for the 3rd and 4th seed in the final bracket is true, it's possible Shana could be eliminated before getting to Railgun or Taiga (Regardless of who wins the match between the two). Right now, Euucliwood could be strong enough to beat Shana in the first round, but she has to wait until the results of Kanade and Ruri before knowing who she will face first.
