Yeah pretty much for me too.

And wow, I didn't expect Horo to garner so many votes. Good job!

[pirs]

voting for maka.

[Fynal_Fyre]

Yes, score on for Macross. I admit, I lost it when she sang Seikan Hikou and KI~RA'ed the Zetrandi. (Don't kill me DKZ )

3/0 for today!

Although, the only one's I'd vote are Maka Albarn and Nagisa. I expect Saki to put up a huge fight against Maka though. Nagisa might just walk through hers.

[Ithekro]

Soon we shall see if 2ch's Key hate remains intact, or if Korean Geass fangirls can throw in Saimoe, or if Lucky Star can garner an unlikely win.

People in Korea can't vote in Saimoe. It's blocked.

I'm a little surprised Siesta won... i dont know why I am.. I know Zero is pretty popular... but I guess I just didnt see her as very moe.. *hmm* ... then again I really didnt have an opinion of the other two...

In other news, official build vesion 5.9 has been compiled (I've been trying for 12 hours) . And less than 12 hours later, version 5.91.

Spoiler for Version 5.9 Validation Run:

Note, this was using only name@series, and FULL name variants, which may explain some below-point counts

E4
Results from V 5.9:
Ranka - 508 ( 501 , 7 ,) [ 16 ]
Kokoro - 440 ( 433 , 7 ,) [ 12 ]
Mayu - 196 ( 192 , 4 ,) [ 4 ]

Program missed 9 votes for Ranka, 16 votes for Kokoro, 2 votes for Mayu .. I think some of the valid votes missed were due to dropping family names.

E8
Results from V 5.9:
Siesta - 468 ( 451 , 17 ,) [ 20 ]
Mikan - 355 ( 342 , 13 ,) [ 7 ]
Mika - 232 ( 231 , 1 ,) [ 8 ]

Program missed 11 votes for Siesta, 0 votes for Mikan, 8 Votes for Mika ... this is the match I was worried most about my match.txt file.

E12
Horo - 767 ( 751 , 16 ,) [ 22 ]
Asuka - 209 ( 202 , 7 ,) [ 10 ]
Gekka - 137 ( 136 , 1 ,) [ 3 ]

Program counted 1 malicious fake vote for Horo, Program missed 8 votes for Asuka, coutned 1 malicious fake vote for Gekka.

So Error was 1.6% .. which is mostly due to my match.txt file I think.

Spoiler for Version 5.91 / 5.92 Validation Run:

100% agreement in results between 5.9 and 5.91 under same setup.
Bug found in 5.91 for continuity... fixed in 5.92

[uis]

First half 33-15
Second half 7-5

Yesterday I vote with my friend help because my internet super suck yesterday...

Yesterday vote:-

E4
-Katsura Kokoro
Anyway Ranka win... WTH!!!

E8
-Katsuragi Mikan
So double Mikan can not win against Siesta...

E12
-Horo
Horo cute so she deserve win...

Anyway I like Asparas-san upset against Rei...

So topkapuz you new avatar is cute...
Anyway are you whuckaba owner???

Chen is sooo cute... trying to look cool but always being a true nekomata. I actually have a bit more liking to Aya-chan .. but Aya is using Aya... probably going to cosplay her next year at Akon.

For better or worse. Generally speaking its mostly out of date... I went to a wiki format a few years ago thinking it would promote me keeping my site-up-to-date... hardly..

[todkapuz]

So tomorrow is really hard for me... I mean as much as I love Saimoe, I hate it... they always put the chara I love together.. and then the chara I dont... there are just match after match of them.... *sigh* but I digress....

Ramblings ...

Spoiler for Ramblings of Moe:

So in F1-01..... I dont know much about Maka, but both Sae and Saki are too much fun... it's hard to choose amongst them... but I think Saki will pull out my vote .... because she is voiced by Saki! .. very cute maid outfit... mmm "Waka" ... "waka" ..... *melts* .... okay... yeah.... I mean... polite.. yet firm.. beautiful, yet reserved... "Could I possibly be able to guide him to be a wonderful man?" .... really, if you haven't seen much of Saki, watch episode 19 of Hayate... onegaishimasu! So I'm pretty set here.

So F1-05 .... Lucky-Star-Clannad Show down.... I really dont know if Kanata has much of a following (especally amongst people who only know the english released DVDs) .... and hopefully Kanata isn't being confused with Konata ... which is easy... in more than one way.. ... all in all of the two, Kanata is more moe to me... I just wish knew a bit more about her.. ... But of course.. AnPan herself is a serious pull... and I am sure this will be another epic KEY / ANTI-KEY battle that is so typical of Saimoe.... But I'm pretty set here as well.

F1-09 .. why must Sora and Nanako be against each other... two different ends of my moe spectrum.. Sora... the silent.. yet creative type.... Nanako the outwardly strong but inwardly lonely type .... Nanako holds a specail place with me because of our leftover status... also, Nanako is voiced by Konomi Maeda.... who puts that perfect accent on itya. This will take more thinking... and prying... Sora is so... sooooo....

On a side note... IKE's long-term forcast puts it right through my house.... and my job is the facility safety officer.... so it is possible that later this week I will be unable to fully lead the rushes as I would like (Kami-sama... why have all these storms come here since I bought my first house in may???? I mean 3 years and nothing ... and now this is the 3rd in a row that long range has been put in the guns of a major storm??) ... anyhow.... everything is preset for tomorrow.. so no biggie.. just if I go missing, that is why.

The 54th* Running of the AnimeSuki RUSH... 12:32:00 JST
11:32:00 PM ET, 10:32:00 PM CT, 9:30:00 PM MT, 8:30:00 PM PT

I often wonder what is the most true way to capture the current reality around us. Is it with the camera, that uses a chemical reaction to record the existance of photons of light, or is it the biological reaction that is the human brain that connects a chemical detection reaction of photons and interperts them, and then recreates them on paper with pencils, paints, markers, and other instruments? Perhaps too much thinking for so early in the morning, I think I'll just stick to my ocha.


Key Times:
xx:32:00 First Post + Votes (if applicable)
xx:32:46 Second Moe Gal
xx:33:32 Third Moe Gal!


Syncronize your time here: http://www3.nict.go.jp/cgi-bin/JST_E.pl <- in ENGLISH! No really, this is important.

Spoiler for About Rushing / Templates / Etc:

What is a rush?

Quite simply it is one of the native traditions of the 2ch existance of Saimoe... it is a fun way to enteract with other like-minded fans to show support for some cause. Most rushes are based on a single charector or series... for example the Nanoha series has always had quite a following. One of the main goals it to make an unbroken series of posts in 2ch ... which is pretty easy in the first rounds, but becomes more and more impossible as the saimoe progresses. So timing is important! The AnimeSuki rush is a rush more to show the support of English speaking fans of some of the traditions of the Saimoe.

Are there any template rules?

There are technical limitations of 2ch, particularly 2048 bytes. So far I have not found a way to check it that is correct every time, other than test posting it.

For our rushes, the only required element is ensuring that the AnimeSuki linker is present and appropriately located. Note, the linker is spread across the bottom and top of the rush posts such to LINK the posts together.

I highly encourage people to play with the film strip. The film strip is the part running down the left of the rush post. The "default" is just "Anime" ... but I strongly encourage putting the moe gal's name there.

If you art is really big or complex, it is fine by me for it to run into parts of the linker or film strip as needed, but do not completely obscure the linker.

Don't know how to do AA? It's okay... use our templates.

Include some moe-bun if you can. Due to the size limits, sometimes the best way to do this is several minutes before the rush, post your moe-bun (charector support) .. then in your rush post put ">>###" (where the number refers to the post your moe-bun is in).

Please try to maintain POSITIVE moe-bun... yes the darkside is strong, but at least for these rushes, please only provide positive moe-bun for the moe-gal your supporting. Save the anti-moe bashing for posts outside of the rush.

Don't give the japanese finger ammunition! If you've already voted, please make sure that you change the <<CHARA-HERE>> to something else... like //CHARA-HERE// ... I'll leave my professional opinion of fake votes aside, but 2ch already has enough gaijin hating people... they love to blame fake voting on us for some reason.

Warming up an hour earlier to avoid cookie question is highly recommended. There are a number of other forums available on 2ch... I'll try to remember to post some.
