there's no ISML in 2011 either.

Your denial still has inadequate proof to confirm the existance or non-existance of ISML 2011. More evidence is required to prove or disprove its existance in this time plane.

I OBJECT.

Kanade is moe, therefore ISML2011 is.

Well, assuming Kanade wins anyways. Even better if Azusa wins.

In 2011 ISML, I vote therefore I am

Less than a week remaining, I think.

Looking past the vote difference between the final 2 challengers in 2010 (and maybe 1 challenger getting eliminated one round too early), I would say the results were very good.

Couldn't resist.

To be objective though, Azusa already has her win, even if it's not ISML.

As far as who can beat Kanade...
Mikoto had a closer vote difference than Azusa against Kanade (although Azusa had more tough challengers to contend with seeding wise).
Kuroneko has ongoing material due to the series extension. Whether a seiyuu split will favor the stronger of the 2 remains to be seen. If she can't beat Kanade, Kirino would have an even tougher time.
Hinagiku would have to be more than just a supporting character in the Hayate movie later on to have even a remote chance. Her disadvantage is 2009 ISML.

I only seeing Kanade losing to a Kyoani character, I don't think Railgun/Index fanbase is strong enough, but I imagine Kanade will probably lose a match or two to Mio, Azu-nyan or Haruhi. Probably also one freak loss late in the season for stagedy reasons by someone like Louise for strategy purposes

You dont know Japan

Ithekro · 2011-04-18, 16:59

Japan isn't all that much of a factor in ISML.
China, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States are your primary voting blocks

broken270 · 2011-04-18, 23:49

Mostly depends on seeding. But, like everything else, there is bound to be a tipping point for everybody. Kanade will meet her demise sometime in Ruby, latest Diamond, earliest Emerald. And, out of everyone, I am voting on Taiga to be the first one to show her the pain of anti-votes sometime in Ruby, preferably Ruby 7. She took down Haruhi in 2009 (although Tomoyo was technically the one who stopped her winning streak back in Emerald 9) at Ruby 8 and took down Mio in 2010 at Ruby 7. This is me wistfully believing that she can pull another one this year at Ruby. Any performance earlier or later might skewer this hope.

Ithekro · 2011-04-18, 23:52

Nothing could be weirder than Ayu randomly beating Nagato Yuki on 2008.

Wait, who are you talking about? As all three tiara wins didn't lose a single match during DE and had loses during the regular thus weren't 49-0, so I am a bit confused

.

Ithekro · 2011-04-19, 13:54

Well...there has only been one ISML that had only 49 matches so for...so he means Mio.

Fate and Hinagiku were going for 63-0.

Ah, but Mio was stopped at 41-0 and then had a second lose, so I dunno if that counts for "going for 49-0".

broken270 · 2011-04-19, 19:51

I doubt Hina was trying to go 63-0 two years ago. I mean, wasn't she in the bottom half of the top 16 and only gained an unexpected boost in power thanks to Season 2 coming in just in time to kick her popularity up a notch when it mattered?

I remember people said she was ranked either 7th or 11th at the start of DE[not really sure off hand which it was], and then got boost from season 2 to win during DE I guess.

Archon_Wing · 2011-04-20, 00:55

Hmm, why is K-on so popular anyways?

Ithekro · 2011-04-20, 01:02

Wide range of appeal prehaps? They are on Japan's Disney Channel now in the evenings.

Archon_Wing · 2011-04-20, 01:05

Wide range of appeal? Hmm, I always thought it had a pretty niche demographic as per late night anime, and KyoAni in general for these things.

But it's on Disney. Hmm...

Ithekro · 2011-04-20, 01:12

9:00pm even.

Well. You don't have to have a huge knowledge of Japanese culture to get most of the jokes. The character interactions are interesting. And the music has a fair range in the rock field since it feels more like 1960s rock than anything recent. There also isn't really all that much in terms of fanservice.

Lastly...Yui's the star, or at least the main character we see the other's through most of the time. She's just funny enough to forgive her ADD.
