Nanoha and Fate after 1 year break K-ON! The SOS brigade powered up with the best arc in their series Shana from a 1 year break (anti-votes gathered after 2 years might be gone) Hayate no Gotoku! who is ALWAYS well liked Saki Railgun New faction worth mentioning for 2010 Bakemonogatari - someone tells me Sengoku Nadeko and Senjougahara Hitagi will make some people hurt

Well I really don't know about Umineko anymore... I had the same opinion as you OverFunk, but after the Riza (FMA) x Beatrice (Umi) results on ISML I don't know anymore... FMA popularity should have made that an easy win imo but seems like there is some fanctions for it somewhere as Beato won. So I would think twice before being sure that umineko wouldn't do well in saimoe.

Yeah but cp, remember that according to this chart, Japan, USA, and Korea all voted for Riza.

See Rei vs Saki. Quote:
At least Beatrice still beat Riza. Rei stomped Saki in ISML when it would have been Saki stomping Rei in Japanese Saimoe.

I know that very well. My comment isn't like "She did well in ISML so she will do well in J-saimoe!", but rather my point is "She did well in ISML when I really didn't expect her too as Umineko isn't really a moe show, something that don't change wherever you watch it." Does this means I think she will do well in saimoe like that? no. But like I said I not that sure anymore that Umineko charas will do bad just because the show isn't about moe.
We will only know in around 9-10 months anyway.

For Umineko....well it depends on how people take the story as it comes out. There are some real (or maybe fake...it can't be proven yet) scenes that can cause the need to protect some of the female characters in the story through the Fifth Game. And even up to the Fourth Game there are said moments, which will be touched on in the anime.
It probably won't have the impact that Higurashi did...moe-wise. Beatrice has a following, This is an example of a new charcter CD cover: Maria might have one. Shannon might have one (Rei voiced with a chest...really?) Jessica could have one, but that's more for her relationship with Kanon. The various furniture of the Witch would have their own following, but most of them are fanservice characters types. Bern could have a following Lambda might have a following. A few of the parents might have followings, but not so much for moe. There shouldn't be anything else...well, maybe one or two more characters that haven't appeared yet in the anime.

I was replying to Chaosphophet. What does being "original" have to do with my reply?
Edit: Oh, does it really matters? Adding the J to Saimoe gives more clarity to what I meant. Even this thread adds (Japan) to the title in parenthesis.

Well, here's the Saimoe contest that's in "original" Japanese. Just for a bit of nomenclature: * Saimoe is Saimoe. The first one ever made. * ISML is not Saimoe. It's ISML. * Best Moe. Well, that's either K-Moe, or Best Moe. Whichever sounds cooler. Another thing to point out -- there's this innate habit to J-everything. J-pop. J-rock. J-music. I hope our use of language do not evolve to J-anime once every other animation studio across the world catches up to produce the same level of quality (both visual and story) as Japanese animators. To J-Saimoe is about as redundant as J-anime. Regardless, it is rather irritating to 2ch's banning of other networks.

I see several blogs calling it Saimoe Japan or Anime Saimoe(Before Manga Saimoe, wasn't Anime Saimoe still being used?). Both are equally redundant, if that's what you want to call it, but I still don't see the problem with it. There are so many moe tournament these days, I rather just name them by their location. Which is even more reason to use clarity, because stating "Saimoe" doesn't guarantee which Saimoe you're referring to, as there is a Manga Saimoe and a Anime Saimoe. If I lived in Japan, Saimoe would be the appropriate term, but since I don't, there is nothing wrong with adding J to Saimoe. A example would be how the french call French Fries 'Fried Potatoes" where-as we call them...well, French Fries(Not simply "fries"), because they originated From france.

Do they really have one? Now, that's funny. I can understand the Koreans having one of their own. They're right next door, and the Japanese (2ch) likely don't want them involved either.
