What about the next KyoAni show that comes out this winter. The one that looks sort of weirdish version of Azumanga Diaoh in style?

Sheba · 2010-10-17, 03:21

Kanade mojo will run out of steam by the next saimoe.

How the Touhou girls will do next year depends how the anime will portray them and whether the Touhou fanbase cares about Saimoe or not. If they don't care, then the Touhou girls will be knocked out quickly. If they do care, then we're looking at a massive faction on the rise here since the Touhou fanbase is HUGE.

Not only that, also Touhou already have their our saimoe contest (that popularity contest where Meiling won in the past and where Sanae progressed FAST in the two past years). In that one, fans have a chance to vote for their personal favorites (Byakuren, Sakuya and Nue in my case).

Last Sinner, are you by any chance going to come up with something similar to:

For this years SaiMoe winner?

Zeroryoko1974 · 2010-10-17, 07:47

I wonder if they will do something special for Saimoe X. A tournament of the winners would be fun, but would favor newer characters (I personally would vote for Sakura).

MatsuriSola · 2010-10-17, 08:49

I heard anizone will make another tournament (Super Best Moe)... Seriously, I can't get what are those guys thinking. Three moe tournament in a year is ENOUGH. Too much and it'd be boring.
Besides, they already made the Korean Best Moe, right? Then why should they make another one? Are they not satisfied with the other tournaments?

RJ TAYLER · 2010-10-17, 08:58

Four would make for a true 'grand slam' though. A "Champion of Champions" tournament could be staged every 2-5 years however, as a one-off special event.

MatsuriSola · 2010-10-17, 09:35

well, how about this Super Best Moe thing? What differs this with the other tournament? I'm still confused why anizone make another best moe tournament in the same year...

By the way, do you guys think Sora from Yosuga No Sora could get a good result on the next Saimoe tournament?

FlavorOfLife · 2010-10-17, 09:40

Thats why i only follow the japanese saimoe. Its one shot, winner takes all and doesn't drag through the year

Oh yea, Nichijou. It's not heavily story driven, maybe it'll be like K-ON. Can't really judge it without any animation to watch (even reading the manga doesn't give a solid view on how KyoAni's going to do it). Scratch that, if the show is genuinely funny (and cares more about that then cuteness), it'll be like Lucky Star. In any case it'll prob be popular enough to be a target of StopAni.

Not the first time they do it. And at least it's the only thing ever Shana won, so I can't be that mad.

Ithekro · 2010-10-17, 10:34

Super Best Moe is not new, they just didn't have one last year. It combines the Korean Male Best Moe and Female Best Moe into a mega contest. Thus there will be both men and women to vote for. This contest tends to be dominated by the Korean fangirls, though the finalist in 2008 were Rozen Maidens Suigintou and Suiseiseki.

Plus we haven't heard anything about Chinese Saimoe this year. Thus there are like six moe contests in a year (if you count the Male Best Moe)...would have been more if SaiGAR had continued...even if that isn't a moe contest, it is made from the same cut as Saimoe, and had several Saimoe contestents in it (the White Devil is notorious).

MatsuriSola · 2010-10-17, 10:50

six? oh, man.... it'd be such a pain to follow them all.... which one is the most prestigious?

I can't find anything about Super Best Moe in google. It seems not quite popular, huh?

Ithekro · 2010-10-17, 11:02

Saimoe is the most followed because it is the original. Vote numbers are picking back up, but numbers are down due to Japanese restrictions and the voting process takes at least an hour if not two to complete.

Best Moe (female) is probably next and has historically had the highest vote count in a match.

International SaiMoe League basically started on AnimeSuki and is probaby the longest tournament since it runs from January to October using the least number of girls. Currently has the highest amount of voters.

Super Best Moe is relevent though fighting the males and females together can make things odd and makes its inclusion into ISML iffy anymore.

Best Moe (male) if to give the guys their own chance to shine. Not followed as much at the others I would think (I pay it no mind)

Chinese Saimoe...it rarely made public as is hard to understand last I saw it. It not international enough to be considered in ISML due to voting restrictions or something.

SaiGAR....defunct male tournement run by 4chan.

SaiLoli....I have no idea if this is still going on...used for purposes of the Unofficial Saimoe Title Belt on the ISML forum.

(New)
Anime Only Character Tournement....new tournement being started on AnimeSuki to include a limited number of males and females. In its first nomination phase now.

Is it possible for ISML to have qualification standards that does not include Anime Saimoe and Korean Best Moe?

Ithekro · 2010-10-17, 17:41

The trouble with Super Best Moe is the males actually.

KaneDragon · 2010-10-17, 17:57

I think I'll hold out for an Ultimate Super Best Moe contest.

The one you're talking about has been defunct for ages. There's the Touhou Popularity poll, but that's a single poll/survey.

Don't forget me for the second trailer and KirbyLucky for the other trailers (Trailer #1, Best 8, etc.). I'm kinda surprised there never was an official Japanese trailer this year.
