Aquamarine is probably more about finding out where characters really stand than looking at how they are changing. For characters who turned out a lot stronger than I initially thought they would, Eucliwood is far and away number 1. It really is a shame that the top end of Nova is so sparce that Eucliwood's massive boost only brought her up a single rank and she is still nowhere near beating the character ahead of her. While not as much as Eucliwood, Konoe Subaru really exceeded my expectations as well. She used to be beside Suzutsuki Kanade in my stats but suddenly started looking at lot better. She still has some work to do if she wants to make the Top 16. I've apparently finally set my expectations for Kyouko low enough that she can beat them. She's still almost at the bottom of my stats but it's no longer a a large margin. Considering preliminaries, standing still would have been an improvement over the freefall the Madoka characters were doing so going up in strength in any way is pretty nice. Unlike Nova, Stella didn't have too many characters shooting up in my stats. Konata, Yami and Kagami did look a bit better than their preliminary performances suggested.
The character that fell the most relative to my initial expectations is probably not too surprising. Despite success in the preliminaries, Akemi Homura just couldn't hold on to it in the regular season. My initial expectations were definitely way too high for Homura. Even after the other Madoka characters seemed to start falling, I didn't really adjust Homura's standing since she was not personally involved in those matches. In the end, Homura probably didn't drop as much as the other Madoka characters did. Kuroneko and Victorique turned out to be sizable disappointments. Victorique's series has ended so falling can't really be helped. I didn't really expect the drop off to be this bad. It seems Victorique may end narrowly missing the post season again this year. While Kuroneko can't do anything about Eucliwood suddenly being a superstar, if Kuroneko was as strong as she was last year, the match should have been a lot closer. As the reverse scenario to Eucliwood, the sparce top tier is to Kuroneko's advantage. Despite her fall, Eucliwood was the only character that could take advantage of it. Maybe Yuri or Yui might in the future but there's still a sizable gap between them and Kuroneko. After wat seemed to be a strong preliminary performance, Hitagi looks to be back to her usual self in the regular season. Nisemonogatari did end in the mean time which may have led to the loss of her temporary strength boost. Kuroi Mato may also have been a victim of losing her "ongoing series" strength boost and also seems to be weaker than during preliminaries.
My stats should be fairly close to reality in most cases... at least within divisions. Currently I've still got Tenshi as the clear number 1 across all characters with Taiga as number 2 at the top of Stella. In the end it doesn't seem like Shana 3 really helped Shana much at all. It's almost completely downhill for Shana from here on so she needs to win her Tiara some time soon. Although I've got Taiga at the top of Stella, I'm not so confident it's by as large a margin as it seems. The Toradora OVA can't have boosted her by that much, could it?
