Last year was set up for Hina to reach the final 8 and maybe have a chance at winning it all. Just her luck to be placed in the same bracket as Yui (K-ON). I have the feeling that there might be more challengers this year that Hina can beat. However, right now almost anyone in K-ON has a chance at beating Hina (Mio, Yui and Azusa for example). Mikoto (Railgun) wants to avoid another second round exit. If anyone still remembers Seitokai no Ichizon, they could cause trouble as well.

I was actually shocked how well Eruru did last year, although I'd be surprised if she replicates that success, since I suspect she only beat Yuki and Haruhi because those two had a weak year (and because of vote splitting).

Actually, C.C. was able to make it to the third round in 2007 before she got eliminated by Konoka from Negima (one show on my "root for" list this year, even if the OAV's focused on the crappy portion of the Magic World arc).

A thought just struck me.
Right now we have Eight winners from the tournament history so far. Perhaps a 'special champions league-style' knock-out round could be run parallel to the finals as well? Say 4 matches (02 vs 03 etc) followed by a short semi final then a Champion over say three days, in the 'rest days' of the main tournament. In terms of the contest the VA I think that has a real shot at being the 'dark horse' this year is Rina Sato as she has voiced two memorable characters in two different animations across two different seasons. I think the 'Rie K" factor will determine some results as well. Either way the entries are up markedly this year and that makes for a truly memorable and unpredictable competition.

And yea, this competition will be awesome. So many popular characters, so much hate political voting, so much drama. I'd rather watch this than the Super Bowl. |

Generation gaps, culture evolution and fandom erosion. It's a nice idea but it'd only be fair if you could somehow time travel to get votes from people in the exact year the champion won in. I mean, how many voters today even know of DNAngel? New voters may only have a year or three's worth of Lore under their belt.

Few more days to go and its ready to MoEble in SaiMoe. Featuring new participants such as Hitagi and Nadeko from Bakemonogatari, Kanade "Tenshi" Tachibana and Yurippe from Angel Beats, Poplar and Aoi from Working!!. There are lot of returnees as well. Don't forget those Hanamaru Kindergarten girls that reallys give me a good sign to start this year.
I can't call Anri Sonohara moe......... Will my favorite Hinagiku Katsura until Nadeko Sengohara replaces her as my current favorite steals a win this year or one of the Kyo-AniMe girls bags this one? My predicted top eight (in a random order) for Japan Anime Saimoe 2010 1. Kanade - Angel Beats 2. Yui - K-ON !! 3. Nadeko - Bakemonogatari 3. Yuki Nagato version 2.0 - Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (both of them deserves to be at the no.3 spot) 4. Rin Tosaka - FateXStayXNight Unlimited Blade Works (I miss this character a lot..) 5. Yuri - Angel Beats 6. Hinagiku - Hayate no Gotoku Second Season 7. Azusa - K-ON!! 8. Hitagi - Bakemonogatari its actually 9, but I want to get her in. I'm sad there is no space for Working!! in my predicted top eight plus one... Poplar Hayate no Gotoku will have its 3rd season which has the "........." epic arc. |

Little early for predictions? Usually there isn't a clear picture until nominations are over.
I'm also going to assume the ban on the larger Californian internet service providers is still in effect on 2ch.

No of course not. Durarara moe has always been about Selty. Incidentally, you're not including Mahiru from Working? She's the flag holder of Working in my view.
I can't do predictions this early - my head's way too filled with non-qualifiers. Not just the recognisable stuff like Vocaloid and Touhou... I'm also thinking of notable original characters of certain Pixiv artists and such.

Then again, they literally have no personalities, nothing truly moe about them, considering moe isn't skin deep. I'm not sure if they'd get far in Saimoe, anyway. |
