Wow...I can't believe Sayaka made it to the semifinals. As a Sayaka fan, this truly made my day! :3

MartianMage · 2013-11-18, 09:47

Welp... since I'm a Mami supporter I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with the outcome.

I guess I'll be rooting for Madoka next =x

Also Madoka x Mami > Homura x Mami > Sayaka x Mami!!!

Mami sou uke

hinakatbklyn · 2013-11-18, 09:49

Interesting. it still looks like a PMMM will win AST this year, but since Mami can't repeat win this year, if Sakura Kyouko earns an upset win of her own (against Madoka), maybe I will have a challenger to support in the final match.

(Kyouko had my support in 2011, I'll give her my support again if she advances)

Triple_R · 2013-11-18, 09:53

Mami supporters shouldn't be too distraught. She had a very nice run. J-SaiMoe 2011 Champion, and J-SaiMoe 2013 Quarterfinalist. I think that's as good a performance as any girl as had in this tournament, is that correct?

BloodyKitty · 2013-11-18, 09:55

Well, if Kyouko can win her match, then even if Watashi lose, I would still have someone to root for.

I guess the appeal of Kyouko vs Sayaka final is very high this time, since the movie gave a lot of sweet moments for fans of this yuri couple. Madoka on the other hand...

One good thing about intra-series PMMM matches is that they're relatively unpredictable.

1. Most people didn't think Mami would defeat Madoka in 2011, and go on to win it all.

2. Almost nobody thought Homura would be the one to finish third in the Ayase/Homura/Madoka match.

3. Most (including even me, I'll admit) thought Mami was the favorite to win this latest match.

For intra-series matches, Madoka Magica is very unpredictable. Usually intra-series matches are as predictable as it gets.

El Son De Las Sirenas
Sayaka Miki beheads Mami Tomoe, figuratively, to advance to 2channel Anime Saimoe semifinals

By Jo-Ryan Salazar
November 18, 2013

A traveling mariachi band from the north of Mexico performed at Mitakihara Middle School on Monday evening at the auditorium ahead of the result of the fourth quarterfinal of the 2013 2channel Anime Saimoe Tournament. The end result was a lopsided one, a 256-164 figurative beheading of Mami Tomoe by Sayaka Miki. Miki now advances to the 2channel Anime Saimoe semifinals to take on Watashi on Thursday.

"I am content with this result," Tomoe said via phone interview. "I already won this and I ended up finishing top eight this year. That's a great run and I congratulate Miki-san on this victory."

"I'm honored to have finally done better than the quarterfinals," Miki said via teleconference. "I hope to make the final at least, but Watashi is not going to be an easy opponent to take down. However, I'm confident to deliver justice to humanity on Thursday. I'm not done yet."

There has been talk that Homura Akemi had a key role to play in the takedown of Mami Tomoe, but that rumor was shot down by Akemi herself.

"Look, I don't make these decisions, it's the voters," Akemi said via videoconference. "It's the voters who still care about these contests that have the final say in this. Any talk about me rigging these matches is coincidental and is just the type of useless fodder you members of the media like to write to monetize your sites that no one reads.

"I am not the one that calls these things. It's the voters."

"I know that I'm going to probably have to go through Kyouko-chan and Sayaka-chan, so I have to be ready," Madoka Kaname said. "I have my own reasons for progressing, and I want to get it done. I have a lot of respect for Sayaka-chan, but there can only be one winner."

Tuesday is a rest day. Madoka and Kyouko Sakura battle on Wednesday in the first semifinal.

"I would rather face Watashi than Sayaka in the final, but that's all going to be moot if I lose to Madoka," Sakura said via phone. "Madoka, to me, is still the favorite and I think she has a stronger case to win it all. But I wouldn't mind returning to the final, even though I have my work cut out for me."

Pretty good write-up. Nice image for it.

Subayai · 2013-11-18, 10:18

Wow, Sayaka. I'm pleasantly surprised. To defeat Mami and by such a big vote difference to boot. I don't dislike Mami but I'm glad the voters chose Sayaka here.

As far as former winners go, she equals Nanoha's record of 1 Championship (2005) and 1 Quarterfinalist spot (2007). Nanoha can also claim to have been Group Finalist twice (2006, 2010) and reached Round 3 once in 2008. But Mami can claim to have reached the Top 8 on all of her participations.

Seems I have a lot to look forward to in that department.

All the more to make the long wait unbearable, because no theater in this anime-forsaken country is showing it.

Only nobody at AS except probably me. Madoka had been more popular than Homura for awhile, at least in Japan...

On the flip side, I certainly didn't expect THIS big of a win by Sayaka. Hope Kyouko can win next round, since Kyouko-Sayaka yuri final is probably the best thing outside of Kyouko-KYOUKO.

(Although, yeah, I think Watashi will win this whole thing...)

I blame Urobuchi.

Probably cause she's the only non-PMMM candidate and being Watashi would make this an epic troll xP
