The first one?
June 18th.

Oh, then I don't know.

[KholdStare]

No er, the second one.

[Seishi]

It's entirely possible that I missed something and StrikerS was just an abomination. I'd like to think not, though. The first 1/3 is a bit inconsistent but it cranks up after that (lol Teana). Just don't stop on episode 4 or something.

[Ithekro]

Sapphire 8 retake: July 5th

At least that is the date your results are posted on Koldstare.

[KholdStare]

Thanks Ithekro. The day the results are posted is one day after the match, which is the day of the match since I'm not in GMT.

Anyways, all of the results except for Sapphire's periodical standings are fixed here if you like numbers.

[Ithekro]

4chan seems to have a tsundere relationship with the Hiiragi sisters. Either that or they hate only because it is spammed due to this contest and they hate this contest because it is:

A: AnimeSuki
B: Not "real" Saimoe
C: Believe it to be faggotry
D: The moe spam should be on /c/ not /a/
E: A reason...? When does 4chan need a reason.

The heavy 4chan reactions seem to be the cause of both the high Hiiragi numbers and the higher than expected anti-LS numbers. (it was to be a 450+ vote birthday gift campaign for the Twins.) With the birthday over...and the tsundere nature of 4chan, maybe the results will normalize a little soon.

4chan is tsundere with everything. It's an exemplar of the damn thing.

These are just random examples, though.

You're not going to let this one go, are you?

My big beef with most moeblobs is that they lack depth past the would-be moe elements. But Tsukasa is actually bearable. It might just be the fact that she's somewhat of an airhead without being completely stupid, though, like my lovely Kotomi. I'd be lying if I said I hated Tsukasa and her balsamic vinegar.

[KholdStare]

Yeah, I never liked Mikuru at all, both her appearance and her as a character. However, Lucky Star is a comedy/parody; there's no story. Tsukasa can't lack depth because there isn't any, and since she contributes to the comedy, nothing is wrong with her.

...Tsukasa isn't completely stupid?
Did we watch the same Lucky Star?

[FlareKnight]

Took a break before coming back to the results: Rika tied....again!? What the heck is going on here? How on earth is it possible to tie that often? Yes by both sides getting the same amount of votes, but this was a rhetorical question. This must be avenged! Ok two OT wins have to come for Rika. First Saber and then Mikuru!

Really was a result without many upsets so not much to say there.

I'm thinking it's the Hiiragi sisters relationship. If they hate the contest and would try to ruin it, voting so that one is dominant than the others isn't the way to do it - not only does it help the reputation of this league (somewhat) by providing the attendance, but it also changes the demographic votes and make the league even more exciting.

The complete opposite, actually.
I rarely vote nowadays or seriously comment on results since it's all just too predictable. Most people can predict the results almost perfectly each time as Demi. has done for the past few months.

She sure beats Mikuru (my main reference for moeblobs, if you didn't notice yet) on that aspect. Can we agree on that?

Doesn't help that I'm somewhat partial to airheads (like Osaka in AzuDa) and mild dojikkos (like Kanna in AIR). It's a big moe factor for me, so I like Tsukasa overall. Quiet girls, airheads, dojikkos, tsunderes... they're all pretty moe to me.

That said, I should appreciate Mikuru somewhat, but she comes across as useless and whiny-- and that completely nullifies her cute clumsiness, which was her only redeeming quality to start with. Same thing with most so-called moeblobs.

[Demi.]

Spoiler for Emerald match 8 picks and predictions:

Yuki Nagato > Konata Izumi - As far as I'm concerned, anyone and everyone is more moe than Konata.

Nanoha > Mikuru - You guys(and girls) better start praying that Nanoha wins. I'll give Firewing a shotgun if she doesn't, I sware.

Ayu > Tomoyo - Predictable.

Kotomi > Nagi - Nagi may have powered up, but she still can't stop Kotomi.

C.C. > Nayuki - Lol, wow... I must not like Nayuki at all...

Rena > Horo - Rena will probably win by a small margin.

Suigintou > Maria - Fighto, Gin-sama!

Konoka > Nagisa - Obvious result is obvious.

Yue > Fuko - Ditto.

Fate Testarossa > Ryou - My love for Feito-chan is eternal!

Hanyuu > Kagami - Damn, this result is going to suck.

Teletha > Mai - Mai will win, but atleast she doesn't fail.

Eri > Nodoka - Eri is moe.

Ayumu > Tsukasa - Tsukasa will enter the top 16 and there is nothing I can do about it.

Hinagiku > Vita - Vita is going to get raped so badly.

Tsuruya = Matsuri - Don't care.

Chiaki > Haruhi - Haruhi will rape.

Rika > Kyon's Sister - BRING ON THE PAIN, RIKA!

Shinku > Setsuna - Shinku should be able to handle Setsuna.

Mion > Sakura-hime - /Lazy

Tamaki Kawazoe > Louise - Really tough choice...

Saber > Sakura Matou - Eh, Matou makes me angry...

Shana > Aruruu - Poor Aruruu...

Alice Carroll > Kyou - You're still more moe to me, Alice!

Suiseiseki > Souseiseki - Desu > Boku~

Eruruu > Tamao Suzumi - Fight on, Eruruu~

Evangeline > Yuno - Eva is my favorite Negima.

Sakura Kinomoto > Touka - I didn't even have to think.

Tamaki Kousaka > Shiori - No comment.

Chikaru Minamoto > Sayuri - Ahaha, no.

Konomi > Kiri - Figures one of the few times I vote against Kiri this period, she will finally win one.

Rin Tohsaka > Yurie - Sorry Yurie, can't vote against Rin here.

[Seishi]

What's a dojikko? Ehhh I never cared for Ayumu Kasuga (Osaka) much, but I know people who worship the ground she walks on. She's a walking, living comedic device, but nothing really more.

Also, I believe Mikuru was created for the sole purpose of being what she is, which in itself is aggravating.

Now you're dead and she has your money.

Then she'll send your head to me.

I've always wanted to be a boy scout. Selling cookies to strangers sounds like a crap job to me.

Oh and this is for KholdStare:




Ufufu.

Clumsy girl.
I haven't watched the anime, but Osaka is okay.
I don't think she's that great: typical retard who makes stuff funny, knd of like a moeblob that isn't trying to be moe but ends up being forced moe anyway.

She was.

I don't even know what boy scouts do.
Probably look gay in their funny outfits and win badges for doing somewhat cool things.

That's her "guess who just kicked your ass? ufufu" face.

[FiREwing]

I just upgraded that picture:

I advise you don't look if you love Sakura

Spoiler for UPGRADED!:

[Ithekro]

<---Eagle Scout.

Boy Scouts may sometimes have a bad reputation from those that know nothing about them, but Girl Scouts have an even worse reputation because half the time they aren't even allowed to do anything cool like the Boy Scouts do. (Which sucks because I've know former Girl Scouts that wanted to do some cool stuff).

This also means (FiREwing) if you wanted to shoot me for my votes (that I don't normally post), that I'd probably hit you first from farther way. Rifle Shooting and Shotgun Shooting Merit Badges for the win.

Wow, the first time it tried to load, it stopped halfway. When I try again, it won't even load anymore. What did you add to it... some curse?


Wouldn't it be nice to have a girl scout knock on your door and ask you in a cute voice, "Cookies~~~" ?


EDIT: Ah, it works now. I think I'll need to hire you to design a website for me! You do spectacular upgrades!
