I can't be sure between Illya and her mother...so it's hard to say how that will turn out. I just know Caster is going to be destroyed. I think the intra series matches should at least be grouped with characters that are not already a foregone conclusion. Or intra-series characters that have never participated in ISML before, so their character dominance within the series is still a mystery.

No you didn't...

EDIT: @KS: While I'm glad I'll get to vote for Caster, I agree with Demi.. Those matches should have been 2-way matches. Or you should have put Rin or Seiba to make things "fair". Last edited by ppaaccoojrf; 2011-11-21 at 02:05. |

On the single elimination vs double elimination argument. On the years where double elimination happened - if I recall properly, the character who fights her way out of the "consolation bracket" and into the championship final ends up getting defeated there again. Given how competition is voting based - the reverse won't happen. That's barring some odd freak timing of a character with a currently airing series, of which the voting pattern drastically changes. Such series begin during the latter stages of the Saimoe season (like Shana).

I'm glad Mikoto won though, so this works for me, but I do think that if you want a "indisputable champion," Double Elimination would be the norm. It's also more interesting in my opinion. |

Kanade was already statistically stronger than Mikoto, though. Whether or not Mikoto rallied enough support to beat her is another story. Plus Kanade supporters probably had a huge amount of complacency after going the entire regular season without a single defeat. Kanade with a loss could have very well been stronger then Kanade without a loss.
I still think Kanade only lost to Shana because of the facebook widget. And it was removed for the final match.

Well Kanade's numbers were steady, even growing at her normal rates in SE (she increased by almost 500 votes in her match with Shana). It was Shana's number's that jumped by a lot in that match. Shana's numbers in the following match remained at those high level and increased normally again, but was taken out by Makoto who has also gotten a massive increase following the Shana-Kanade match. (Kuroneko actually did dip in numbers so she lost some votes to Makoto in addition to the massive vote number rise).

Yeah well when numbers increase by over 3000 and Kanade only receives 500 of them...That is not a good performance by Kanade. It probably would of been a close match, but as I said, Kanade winning seemed so obvious that Kanade fans hardly had to work to make it happen. Give her a second chance, and the rabid Kanade fans would have truly gone all out. The only reason the finals produce such a large number of votes, is because of massive scale campaigning. The thought of "just one more win" really puts the fans into overdrive.

I guess we're going for more popular characters, but I'm still crushed that Haruka from Yosuga no Sora isn't going to appear in the bishie tournament. I mean, come on, his mere presence is enough to evoke blush at first sight in most heroines.

Full Moon's anime was way better than Fruits Basket's too....though I know for sure FB is more popular simply because it's a reverse harem and Full Moon is not. =_= LAME FANGIRLS ARE LAME

More relevant things: -Fate Testarossa will be exhibited, because why not? -If you don't want a headache, try not to follow the consolation matches. Just know they will eventually make sense to wontaek and rank the remaining characters.

If you keep track of 2 things, cumulative win-loss record and Vote Difference, consolation matches won't be hard to understand.
