I love how there's so much Mami hate, just cuz she managed to be in the last bracket with the last of the resistance (Ika). I could speak my thoughts on Ika but I will refrain, as I don't want to offend. If it were Mami vs Kyouko or Sayaka or Madoka, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
Also Spoiler for Madoka spoiler:
Anyhow, I'm just saying it's a bit unfair she gets bashed just cuz she won. People would be saying "HELL YEAH IKA WON" and that would be okay. Why? Either cuz Ika is their favorite character/choice pick or they're choosing her out of hate for PMMM... So really. I don't see anything wrong with being overjoyed that my favorite character has been performing brilliantly. I hope she continues her streak So yeah, HELL YEAH MAMI WON :P |

ISML is still more a best of the best style contest than either Saimoe or Korea's Best Moe. Both of those only take into account girls (usually girls) thay were on screen for the previous year. ISML takes all comers, but limits the contest to the top 50 at present. Next year will be slightly different again and possibly have a few more girls possivle in the Round Robin.
If a girls can keep her moe fanbase even over a number of years she deserves a place in ISML because she can be compeditive. Once her flame has died out she won't make it back in the following year, thus openning a spot for someone else. But they all have to show effort to even get a spot so it is not like they can auto entry into the Round Robin. They have to earn it...even if they do get crushed the entire rest of the year (the majority of the IS girls this year). About the only oddity was that the PMMM group failed to make it in the Round Robin this year due to the pause in broadcasting of their show, where the most awesome parts were show ater nominations ended. Next year they might make it. Especially ater their results in Saimoe and Best Moe.

I know, I'm referring to people that say stuff like "I'd rather have someone with a head on their shoulders" or something, but actually seriously mean it-- as if that's all they see in her. Unfortunately I'm sure it's true for even people that do vote for her, but I'd like if they'd look into the character more. It's just a peeve of mine I guess

Agreed.

Why exactly are the western fan pages looking better than the actual AST page is beyond me... Even Best Moe presents itself better.

Wasn't in posting mood since yesterday. I'm still a bit shaken that Sayaka lost, even though that was the most probable outcome. At least I wasn't that wrong with my assumption that the vote counts would be similar in the end.
Mami won a very hard match today. I'm actually pretty surprised that Ika was able to mobilize the masses to a better degree than Kuroneko. Now I can sit back and enjoy the last matches of this tournament. There is not one character left who I dislike, so everything went better than expected. |

Pick: 0-1 (1-3, 85-71)
Prediction: 1-0 (3-1, 120-36) Congrats to Madoka supporters. Whether based on sheer popularity or voting tactics, they did their job and as a result, a Puella Magi is likely to be crowned champion barring an unlikely result in the first semifinal. Unfortunately, this means that the semi-finals and finals will be anticlimatic to say the least, especially if Erica falls in SF1. Pick: Erica Prediction: Kyouko Only way Erica can win this is if they want Madoka/Mami beating a witch in the final.

And that's the end for my favorite picks for Japan Saimoe 2011 with Ika-chan's defeat over a powerhouse like Mami. I like Puella Magi Madoka Magica and it's fitting for them to bag this year's saimoe since it's very successful compared to other shows from previous years that seems over hyped.
If everything went right and that certain character move to the finals, for the great revelation that could justify this year's Saimoe. Akemi Homura's early elimination in the very first day excluding preliminaries proves to be a worthy sacrifice. Compared to K-ON (only have sole character left for quarterfinals in 2010 but still won the whole thing by defeating Nagi Sanzenin.), this can be compared to the 2008 Saimoe where there are two/three Lucky Star characters in final eight with Kagami besting her twin sister in the finals. If everything went right I want Erica to be the representative for the other group while it's already evident for the other representative unless history is bound to be broken since the start of Japan Saimoe. Maybe Japan Saimoe rules next year may change like each show should limit it to two representatives contrary to every character is eligible or grouping that whole group with the top two highest voters remains from that faction through voting. |

I don't think anybody stopped voting because of that. If anything, it has attracted more votes, because head jokes have given more recognizance to the character. That said, anybody know if 2ch is even still joking about that like us baka-gaijins? Did they even joke about it in the first place? Quote:

Yeah this saimoe was so boring that almost all veterans got killed in rounds 1 and 2 and 2 of the remaining vets loved by foreigners got through by self admitted cheating. Yes i'm sure the entire idea of foreigners only supporting a few series like Kanade's and Misaka's is totally absurd. Absolutely Precure would have the same results this year if foreigners were admitted.
Yes ISML is just as popular if not more so... except it isn't. A simple look at how many views and the date of the first post is noted. I remember ISML having 30k posts ahead of Saimoe in Saimoe's late prelim rounds (even though ISML had half a year ahead of it). Indeed, rather than looking like a badly trained salesman giving a glaringly obvious sales pitch perhaps supporters should look at improving the boring as hell ISML (and i know i'm not the only one to be bored by it) Last edited by FlavorOfLife; 2011-10-31 at 18:28.

Well one reason ISML has less talking these days is because most of the regular posters moved it its own forum to post stuff. Probably because of so many complaints about ISML always being on the top of the page and driving everything else in General Anime down the list. (Plus it just finished a month long break between the round robin and the finals which started yesterday.)
My trouble was I got caught up in other thing and the semi-hidden schedule made it difficult for me to keep myself motivated to keep making a Space Opera post gor each match. It is easier to make a running storyline if you know what groups will be facing whom in advance. Leads to better use of personalities and faction conflicts along a moving front line.

If the draw were rearranged to make the semifinals Kyouko/Sayaka vs Kuroneko and Madoka/Mami vs Ika Musume, how many of you would still be complaining? Assuming Erica loses as expected, that scenario is exactly the same as what we got in terms of voter choices. The only difference is the random draw. Quote:
Astarotte no Omocha is an obscure show whose only claim to fame in the west is the initial shock over how pedo the premise sounded. Strike Witches is nowhere near as popular as it is in Japan (None even made candidate in ISML). Hidan no Aria got a pitiful response, and was best known for how gg trolled it. And that's just the ones that got into the group finals. Quote:
