I think this tells you that a significant number of voters read the manga. I doubt anyone voted for (or even noticed) Suehara for her 5 seconds of screentime, but in the manga she has quite an important role.

By the way, I just noticed that in your would-be votes for group 2 you picked Suehara (but not Mako)... should you really be surprised at the result?
On another note, Sasano Ichigo makes it with the same amount of vote. Coincidence? I don't think so...

And I read the manga LOL, or else why do you think I point out Suehara specifically. She's not even the most moe of the Himematsu girls, though...

Yeah, the fact that Ichigo classified is more outrageous I think. There is a reason though. Remember that panel in the manga (ch. 68) where she is crying? Among Saki fans, specially in Japan, that panel became very famous. I don't really understand, I mean, yes she's crying and that can be seen as moe but the popularity it got was disproportionate. Anyway, I'm not too surprised to see Ichigo there because i think some people still vote for that panel more than for the character itself (who has a very brief role anyway).

And I agree that Suehara is not the most moe in Himematsu but she is kinda cool and has a lot of appearance time, playing in the captain position and all so she is very popular.

Neither Mami nor Shion nor Lilicia made it in. It's a sad day in timbits' head. Hey on the other hand I was really close with the prediction, only one vote off actually.

I swear if my pure and perfect Chizuru doesn't get in...

This is not about hating, or at least I don't hate her.

It's just the old question: should one vote for a character based on looks alone, even if that character appeared only for a second and has no lines?

One opinion says: yes, if a character looks moe (to you) that's all you need to vote for her.

Another opinion says: no, a character needs a personality to "deserve" being in the tournament and for that she needs a certain amount of screentime.

Sasano Ichigo is one of these characters that appears very briefly (both in manga and anime), so the question applies to her. Her classification left out other characters that are also pretty moe (to some) and they had more screentime. So, understandably, the fans of those other characters may feel unhappy about it.

I don't think there is one opinion that is right and one wrong. They both have their arguments. Mostly, depending on the particular characters concerned, I feel leaning towards one or the other. I think this is because Saimoe voting is not a rational decision but something based on feelings and feelings change when one of your favorite characters is involved.

Other people may feel differently about it and that's fine by me.

True but this is a moe competition after all. There is no right or wrong way to define what's moe to each and everyone so if one wins the others just gotta accept that it's the community's preference.

A real bona-fide 'blanket finish' there; I have to feel for the lone Joshiraku girl Kuurubiyuutei Gankyou and Aizawa Natsumi of Natsuiro Kiseki Festival 15-kaime no Natsuyasumi for missing the final call by a solitary vote.

Aaand timbits was right about Group 3 being the Group of Death. But wrong about the group winner and about Chizuru's fate.

I think every group here is a Group of Death, what with even the bottom rankers getting double digit votes. And none of the top rankers getting triple digits.

Yayoi seems to be doing really well already, I hope she can keep that up to the end.
I also have hopes for Nonna, FunaQ, Saki and, naturally, Mayaka.

21 in total... and none of them Saki!

BTW, the main tourney structure is still the same, right?

Except for... rapecharge? Whatever the hell it's called and the 16 chara finals instead of 8.

Looks like all the Saki girls who are going to be involved in dominating the competition have already qualified. After all, it's kind of hard to dominate if you can't even qualify directly for the main round and require the 2nd prelims to qualify.

Yes the structure should not change, just that some groups will have an extra girl drawn into the group.

It's repechage.

WHY IS CHIZURU NOT IN I AM NOT AMUSED JAPAN. It hurts even more that she's the only main character to not get in while everyone else qualified in first prelims. Ringo, who's not even a main character got in while Chizuru didn't. WHY SAIMOE WHY? She'll always be number 1 in my heart. ;_;

And today is the last group. Is it finally A-tan's turn to shine after years of whining about her not being in Saimoe? Someone get Game8910 in here, this'll be interesting.

I actually prefer Ringo to Chizuru. Ringo is very very moe(except for her severe brocon).
