The voiced clip of hers is rather comprehensive. I do believe it's our dear Biribiri and no one else.

And I was kinda hoping:

Spoiler for Saki 2nd round 4th match:

So apparently Kuro's a massive menace in the Achiga PSP game. How am I NOT surprised about this?

Considering Kuro more or less is a bomb being launched at her opponent. Either she misses completely or her foes end up a pile of ash.

Now I know how Kuro feels. :/

Speaking of the Achiga PSP, playing as Sumire or Mairu is so much fun!

Playing as Ryuuka is also good but 2hax4me

Himematsu's Suzu Ueshige will be voiced by rookie seiyuu Arisa Date. At this rate, all of Himematsu might be voiced by rookies, which I guess it's a good thing for their careers since Himematsu goes on into the semi-finals.

I find Takami much more fun. Starting your hand with White/White/White/Green/Green/Green/Red/Red/West/West/West/South/South/South is so good.

If there are more rookies from here on, I worry about their budget, although they did okay with Achiga-hen.

Let's not be so quick to judge. One of the things kaminomi taught me is that new seiyuus can surprise you.

Besides, it would be awesome if a completely new name voiced Kyoko and ended up doing better than anyone.

Himematsu's Yuuko Mase will be voiced by Haruka Yoshimura. She's also a rookie, but the debut role of Mika Jougasaki in IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS is a pretty significant boost.

Another rookie. Most likely, the entire team will be voiced by rookies.

Are they trying to troll the viewers? By picking rookies, it will be hard to support them. Imagine whatever hysteria there will be when the second round finishes...

I don't know about that. I love Hinematus because they're underdogs.

Himematsu ... underdogs?

In a Meta sense I can see... But in-universe they're the fifth best high-school in Japan and just beat the one classed fourth so...

The only real Underdog so far ( Meta and in-verse) are ... in fact they aren't any because they all got beaten in Quarter.

-Achiga and Kiyosumi are main Chararacters ( Achiga is still disapointing but meh.. that's more my problem.)

-Shiraitodai, Rinkai, Senriyama... Do I even need. 1th 2nd and an 3rd best team in-verse (Himematsu go there as fourt/fifth)

-Usuzan Have great in-verse hype.

-Shindouji also as a great Story of making it ( Sama for Himematsu and the thee champions schools) And was also Hype as Strongest school in Norther Kyushu.

You know if we ever construct an in-universe betting odd for the semi-finals it would go like this.
Remember the format for sport betting is this:
Stakes: Payoff

Edit Note to those who haven't gambled before:
Stakes meant the minimum money needed to gamble. For example 5:3 meant you need to pay 5 dollars if you gambled there. If you lose, the 5 dollars is forfeit to the bookmaker. If you win, you get back your stakes + the payoff indicated. Thus, if you bet 5 dollars in a 5:3 odds and won. That meant you got 8 dollars at the end of it.

Rinkai:
1:0
I know. ^^ But, in-universe I want a profit margin and no sane bookmaker will bet against them. Kyouko even commented that their team composition isn't fair. Its like bringing international stars in a national level competition. Even casual fans of mahjong will recognize their team is RIGGED!

If possible I would even exclude them from the betting because I don't want to hemorrhage money.

Himematsu
5:2
The 5th ranking school. They even have the Trapmaster Atago. They are tried and tested as well plus they have great coaching. *cough* 20 interesting person that may or maybe pros for a practice session? really? *cough*

I bet that the bookmakers believe that this will be Rinkai-Himematsu finish. Thus, the underdogs are Kiyosumi and Uzusan in-universe.

Usuzan/ Kiyosumi
1: 5
Newbie teams which is debuting for the first time in the nationals. Other than the praise of Hayarin for Usuzan and Nodoka in Kiyosumi there is nothing to show that their strong. They don't have coaches and their roster is limited. Casual fans would rightfully dismiss them in-universe. Come to think of it, I don't know if they actually believe in Nodoka. A reporter said that they will be watching her fail. Hmmm...

Additional Note: Casual fans = those who just follow their prefecture and the nationals and don't watch every single game that happens in the prefecture level. I assume most people are in this level. Because anyone who watched the Nagano finals and called Kiyosumi weak is insane.



Anyway, as watchers with OOC knowledge I would make this as a bookmaker.

Kiyosumi
1:0
The chances that they won't make it is nil.

Rinkai:
5:2
Their team is so good. Sorry guys.

Himematsu :
5:3
Well balanced and good roster. I could easily see them in the finals as well.

Usuzan
5: 4
Sorry, guys. You truly are the underdog.
Edit: On second thought, since their vice-captain and captain are supposed to be powerful... I upgraded their odds. Still, as bookmaker I gave them the highest payoff because of the uneven team composition.

So how many dollars are you guys betting? And to whom?
If you want to specify the 1st and second. The payoff will double though if you guessed the wrong order, it will be forfeit. ^^
(Lol. My sport gambling is showing.)

Himematsu' Hiroe Atago will be voiced by Satsumi Matsuda. She has a twin sister Risae Matsuda, and both participated as a unit in the 4th (2010) and 5th (2011) Animax Anisong Grand Prix (see coverage). Satsumi has a game voice role, but both are basically still rookies. I suspect that her Risae might be voicing Kinue, but we'll find out tomorrow.

I think the seiyuu are being picked for their Kansai dialects. So far, all three seiyuu come from the Kansai region (Hyogo, Osaka, etc.).

Actually, that's really better than Senriyama's VAs. Senriyama's VAs are very cute but their Osakan accent is blatantly fake.

Therefore, it's good to have some real Osakans voice an Osaka-team.

Thanks for the info.

I suppose that it is fitting that Himematsu will be voiced with as Kansai-ben. If I remember, the Osaka variation in particular thick and hot-blooded...

*imagines Hiroe and Kyouko with that accent.*

lol.

That would be reasonable. Much as I do like Stylips/YuiKaori, I don't recall Senriyama's kansai-ben being especially convincing.

Those are horrible, horrible odds for the out-of-universe section, night_sentinel. I wouldn't bet with you at all. Also, I have never seen that format for quoting odds before.

... Actually, scratch that. Put 10000 Pokedollars on Rinkai.

The odds I would personally offer (out-of-universe - my hypothetical in-universe bookmaker knows more than I do so I can't put any odds for them)?

Kiyosumi: 1.00 (betting not allowed). Practically certain. There's no way that the spin-off protagonists can get further than the main characters. If I was feeling charitable, maybe 1.01 or so - but I don't want to risk it (a bookmaker does need to turn a profit, after all).

Rinkai: 1.30. An all-star team that is strong across the board, and certainly my pick of the bunch. It'll also give the most interesting final, IMO.

Himematsu: 5.00. Solid, but given Kinue and Kyouko's track record, the lower order will be tough for them.

Usuzan: 6.00. Has potential for a come-from-behind win, but is held back by its first three members, which are basically filler (at least Shindouji had some good players there). Will be problematic story-wise should they actually make it, which is a reason that can only come from an out-of-universe perspective, of course.

Also, lemme copy the speculation translation from the last page:

Quote:
Suzu - Ayane Sakura
Yuuko - Asuka Nishi, Haruka Yoshimura
Hiroe - Ayane Sakura, Azusa Tadokoro
Kinue - Minato Kotobuki
Kyouko - Yukana, Rumi Ookubo, Risa Taneda
Reveals:
Quote:
2013-11-25: Suzu - Arisa Date
2013-11-26: Yuuko - Haruka Yoshimura
2013-11-27: Hiroe - Satsumi Matsuda
