Anime Saimoe Tournament 2009 (Japan)

[uis]

Nodoka popularity is mostly came from Nodoka deredere when she with Saki...
You can found many MAD about Nodoka dere lulz...

[Proto]

Not all is lost. After all, Nagisa is a former 3rd place. Even if it is Asu-nyan there is hope. Do not falter at the last step!

[lilpyro64]

Not exactly...

As much as I want Nagisa to at least stay in the tournament a bit longer (and I really do), I honestly do not believe she has a realistic chance of winning against Azusa (which I like her over Nagisa by a slight margin). Had Nagisa not face Azusa this time, I would have supported her all the way.

Perhaps the results may prove my prediction wrong, and I'll have no problem with it.

But if the cast of Clannad is really going down in Saimoe, better to do it quick and painless.

[Ithekro]

There is still Ushio, though she's fairly weak. Might be because she's only in eight episodes (including the clip/flashback story show and her birth) very late in After Story. But she did make a major impact in that amount of time. There simply isn't a better four to five year old in anime existance. She was played perfectly.

EDIT:

Numbers go insane with eight hours left? It is going to be a long night in Japan.

Japan loves nekomimis, what can we do. The thread votes aren't looking good...

That's true (and I'm almost forgot about her). You definitely made a good point about her character and impact in the series.

But will Ushio's positive attributes be enough for her to survive one more round in the tournament, especially against Mihoko? Only time and fate will tell (even though Mihoko is favored to win).

Nagisa winning or losing may help Ushio as well (as an "avenger" for the latter).

[uis]

Hmmm dunno about Ushio because she meet Ritsu again and Mihoko...
If she defeat Ritsu earlier... she maybe have chance but not for now...

Saki sure will keep up their momentum and K-ON have many fans *it more worse if Yui and Azusa won today match*

Ushio, barring a massive anti-Saki sentiment suddenly rolling in, has zero hope of victory. All she could do is tie Ritsu, someone she should have beaten. Now she faces Mihoko (and Ritsu) on the same day the Nagi v Saki match takes place.

Unfotunately, I cannot tell what's going on with the numbers. The counter I'm using cannot differentiate between a vote cast for Yui and a vote cast for Azusa.

[Ice Block]

I've always thought it was accepted that KEY characters won't be winning any SaiMoe ever. Have we forgotten about the anti-KEY sentiment in 2ch, or has that been dissolved already?

And one quick question. Omitting the series name in your vote post is still acceptable, right? Like for example:

Name@Series:

[[MY-VoTEcoDE-hERe]]
<<桂ヒナギク＠ハヤテのごとく!!>>
Let's go Hina!

Name only:

[[MY-VoTEcoDE-hERe]]
<<桂ヒナギク>>
Let's go Hina!

The second one is considered valid, right?

EDIT: Voted. Decided to stick to the <<Name@Series>> format just to be safe.

there's still one more year for Hina to try again, but I don't know if she'll ever be as strong as she was this year. it's quite unfortunate that she had to exit this early, but i guess... "it can't be helped"
