Anime Saimoe Tournament 2011 (Japan)

[Team Rocket Elite]

Yesterday's Results:

Suehiro Anna - 66
Tooyama Saku - 185
Index - 278

Miho - 73
Tsukuyomi Komoe - 178
Yui - 265

Ranka Lee - 160
Morita Mayu - 148
Toudou Tsumugi - 175

Index doesn't really have much trouble in the first match. Saku just isn't strong enough to keep up. What surprised me is how easily Yui won the second match. I expected more of a fight from Komoe especially with help from Index's presence. A pretty close third match. I figured Ranka had a chance but I didn't expect Mayu to put up a fight as well. In the end I was able to correctly predict Tsumugi's win.

Today's matches:

Nakamura Yuri vs Kousaka Kirino vs Tsurugi Minko
Sakurai Rihoko vs Marui Futaba vs Naganohara Mio
Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois vs Charlotte E. Yeager vs Yoshinoya-sensei

My pick for G Block winner Kousaka Kirino goes up today. She has some tough competition against Yuri and Minko. I think Kirino is naturally stronger than either of them but Minko is a fairly powerful competitor herself. I wouldn't completely count out Minko from winning and she would make a good assassin if someone wants to off Kirino. I think Kirino will hang on to win, though. Of course I'm currently 3-3 for my block winners making it out of Round 1 so maybe Kirino should be a bit worried. Mio and Rihoko will be fighting over the second match. I'm giving Mio the slight edge and callhim for Mio to win. I'm not sure why but Leonmitchelli did really badly in preliminaries so I think she's out of the running in the third match. Strike Witches have continued to look good so I think Charlotte will win the match.

Votes:
Nakamura Yuri
Naganohara Mio
Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois

Prediction:
Kousaka Kirino
Naganohara Mio
Charlotte E. Yeager

Heh, the big vote spikes on few matchday ago appears on today again, apparently we know who're the winners already

[ahelo]

Oreimo fanbase decides to go political and spike vote the competition so that no one knows who wins and Minchi gets less support in the final hours.

[Coldlight]

Wow, fake vote magic again for today.

[hinakatbklyn]

Sayaka and Mami already had a big lead in their matches before the vote spike. Kirino and Minchi was already a close match before the spike. Minchi should take advantage and get more support while the unofficial count has her in the lead.

[Zeroryoko1974]

lol that spike is awesome *queue mountain climbing type music*

[frustra]

Kirino, Rihoko and Shirley won.

[ahelo]

Wow at fake votes. Mio lost She was one of the few fujoshi I actually like.

[FlavorOfLife]

Looks like Kirino lives to lose another day. Poor Yurippe.

For the next matches, go go Kyoko! Rosso Fantasma, LOL! Kuukai?

[abc0716]

Oh heh Minko lost the match, as I though, but this's quite amuse that Rihoko still win the match despite she got many fake votes.

2-1 again on the prediction, not sure how many times I got 2-1 on a row. (49-32 overall)

Spoiler for September 14:

Pick-> G4- Haruka
Predict-> Morishima-senpai
This will be an easy win for her, since the opponents has to split their votes because they come from the same series.

G8- Nazuna
Ayase
Ika Musume vs. OreImo, that's all I know.

G12- Kyouko
Kyouko
The much the effort Kyouko put, the higher the amount of Pocky she would receive once she win the match.

[OverFunk]

Kirino lives to troll another day. Sad to say, but I need her, since Index probably couldn't win the block, and I can't allow Kyouko running away with it.

Today I only support Ritsu, only K-on worth saving from the storm that came with the title.

Don't kid yourselves, folks.

Kirino has this match practically won.

Quoting myself to show how much I'm stylin'.

[broken270]

Charlotte dominated. Kirino won, as expected. Sad to see there is no love for Yuri. Nice to see Rihoko winning with Mio at second.

[ars89]

Alright Kirino won. Too bad for Mio. Amagami and Strike Witches continue to put up a good showing.

Today i'm rooting for Kiriha, Ayase, and Kyouko

[Seishi]

2011, K-ON, etc. Let's go with the magical lady in red today.

Sucks for Freeze-Dry over there with the split, but I don't think she could have beaten Haruka in any match-up.

[Ichuki]

Booo at Mio losing >.>
Picks- Ritsu
Predtiction- Haruka, Ayase, Kyouko

[Xellos-_^]

Go Red Ranger

[Zeroryoko1974]

Kyouko, Morishima-sempai, and Ayase are all cruising. Closest match difference is 25 by the tracker

G7 Rihoko (I know Mio Naganohara will win this round since Rihoko get friend zoned last year while the rest of the girls except Miya, have scored big time in their routes,)
G11 Yoshinoya (Any character named Charlotte is quite scary, the SW faction will make it throgh, I can't see Yoshihoya pull any extra lessons for survival. An unexpected moe tsundere neko girl could make an upset and eliminate them both.)

Kirino winning proves that she has less hate than expected, Rihoko dominates through sympathy votes, just a proof of reality. Another SW character won.

Result so far 33-37-12; only 7 picks of mine remains in JMOE with Homura Akemi, Mayushii, and Erio's Elimination. Victorica, Elsie, Ika Musume, Menma, Char, and Mikan move on to the next round.

Picks for 9/15/2011
G4 Haruka Morishima (Every guy wants a senpai like her.)
G8 Ayase Aragaki (I don't expect her to win given with her attitude.)
G12 Kyouko Sakura (Can Ritsu make it into second round, or the day K-ON annihilated completely is at hand?)
