Anime Saimoe Tournament 2008 (Japan)

[Dedalus]

@Zeroryoko1974:
It's Tomoyo, not Kotomi. But I'm Ok with almost all your choices.
Specially "stop lulz question fairy" and "strategic vote for SaiNOE" causes.

Haruka - Fuuko. I don't know. I expect a lot of tactical vote in this match, but finally I would choose Fuuko also.
Mikan - Hiro. Only Hiro. Mikan is moe, but third round is enough.

[hirahira]

I agree with them all except for the first one. Haruka must win! And for Aono. vs. Hayate, I'd pick Aono.

And I want Question Fairy to win!

Just kidding~

[Furudanuki]

Results so far - Round 1: 52-46 , Round 2: 15-17

Tanuki picks for Round 3:

Minami Haruka vs. Ibuki Fuuko - Haruka may be awesome, but Fuuko has more moe points.
Yuuki Mikan vs. Hiro - I prefer Hiro, but I won't be saddened by a Mikan win here.
Seto San vs. Hanyuu - Hanyuu merits plus SnH series nae level drags San down.
Edomae Runa vs. Chiba Kirino - Lion-chan was in my top 10% from the start. Runa was in my bottom 5 overall.
Hinamori Amu vs. Hiiragi Kagami - No contest for Kagamin here.
Ryuuguu Rena vs. Miyako - I'll take quirky moe over psycho moe any day.
Fujibayashi Kyou vs. Minami Kana - Funny =/= Moe, so Kana gets the "LOSS".
Sakagami Tomoyo vs. Izumi Konata - I won't say Konata isn't moe, but she isn't in the same league as Tomoyo.
Shana vs. Takamachi Nanoha - Never felt huge levels of moe for Shana, and I'm really getting tired of Tsunde-Rie.
Morimiya Aono vs. Yagami Hayate - Bit of a tough choice here.
Minami Chiaki vs. Kawazoe Tamaki - Tama-chan takes this one without breaking a sweat.
Ha tena Yousei vs. Furukawa Nagisa - Series lead easily wins my vote over gimmick character.
Mizunashi Akari vs. Shindou Chihiro - ARIA! Banzai!
Katsura Hinagiku vs. Ichijou Eika - I'm happy no matter who wins here, but Eika gets the vote.
Sanzenin Nagi vs. Hiiragi Tsukasa - I do like Nagi, but Tsunde-Rie fatigue pulls that moemeter needle down.
Isurugi Noe vs. Suzu - Chickens are very versatile creatures.

Nagi didn't defeat Tsukasa last year, she beat Konata. Shinku (with a big assist from cheater-san in Region P) was the one who knocked Tsukasa out of the tournament.

[herbert]

My pick

Haruka Minami vs Fuuko - I would doubt my sanity if I choose Fuuko over Haruka
San Seto vs Hanyuu - San can't be beaten by anyone other than Luna
Luna vs Kirino Chiba - Luna-chan FTW! Luna-chan FTW!! Luna-chan FTW!!!
Hiro vs Mikan Yuuki - Mikan doesn't just fight for herself, she fights for Yami as well. Mikan's yuri is better Hiro's.
Amu Hinamori vs Kagami - the last of my Top 5 girl, I'll count on Kagami-sama at winning this year.
Kyou vs Kana Minami - For love of the baka BOSS, and hate of Kyou.
Tomoyo vs Konata - Tomoyo has beat Sheryl so she is not allowed to lose before she can loss to Kagami-sama
Rena vs Miyako - Miyako will take Rena to stamoch.
Shana vs Nanoha - Hard choice, but the White Devil gets my vote.
Chiaki Minami vs Tamaki Kawazoe - Chiaki is a loli, Tamaki is a fake loli so...
Question Fairy vs Nagisa - Quit. As much as I want to anti-vote Nagisa, I don't know another character at all.
Aono Morimiya vs Hayate Yagami - The Mistress of Cosplay is looking for girls to dress up, Aono is her next target for cosplayer.
Akari Mizunashi vs Chihiro Shindou - Aria's last stand, hope she can stand a little longer.
Nagi vs Tsukasa - I want Kagami beat her sister, but I must vote Nagi oujo-sama.
Noe vs Suzu - Quit. Same with Nagisa, I want to anti-vote Noe, but it happens to me... who is Suzu?
Hinagiku vs Eika Ichijou - I guess Hina is too big a fish for Eika-san to catch but she will try.

Reaction
Tough luck for Tiffania. Finally the end of round 2. Single matches begins in round 3.

Picks for next round (Round 3 commences)
A1 Fuuko Ibuki (Sorry Haruka-sama, but Starfish girl gets all the attention and she's no.1 in all Japan stated herself in episode 9 of Clannad.)
B2 Mikan Yuuki (She deserved this spot and no one would grab it from her. Hiro won't stand up a chance here unless Yuno give her full support.)

[TnAdct1]

Anyone else waiting for the annual tradition of depicting the final 32 girls a la the students in Negi Springfield's homeroom?

I checked the Saimoe picture boards to see if it's up yet, but there's nothing at the moment.

[npal]

Ok Let's see...

Minami Haruka - Ibuki Fuuko : Support a favorite character AAAAND revenge voting... The DOUBLE JOY ^^
Seto San - Hanyuu : Tough one, but San is more moe for me ^^ Chivarly Mermaid FTW
Edomae Luna - Chiba Kirino : :3 moe taichou FTW
Yuuki Mikan - Hiro : Mikan, imouto-moe at the right level ^^
Hinamori Amu - Hiiragi Kagami : Ooooh, tactical/anti- voting combo FTW
Fujibayashi Kyou - Minami Kana: Kyouuuuuuuuuuuuu /drools
Sakagami Tomoyo - Izumi Konata : WOOT favorite char /heavily drools + tactical/anti- voting 3-combo FTW!!
Ryuuguu Rena - Miyako : Rena takes the world home!
Shana - Takamachi Nanoha : StarlightBreak the tsundere loli, onegai! >.<
Minami Chiaki - Kawazoe Tamaki : Tama-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan \(^o^)/
Hatena Yousei - Furukawa Nagisa : Undecided on whether to tactical vote or not... Possibly yes but I won't call it yet.
Morimiya Aono - Yagami Hayate : Cosplay-maniac/boob-grabber/potential-tyrant cutie FTW
Mizunashi Akari - Shindou Chihiro : Well, her moe levels ARE acceptable enough so I suppose I'll vote instead of sitting that one out.
Sanzenin Nagi - Hiiragi Tsukasa : Pass (don't care, could have voted against both though )
Isurugu Noe - Suzu : What?
Katsura Hinagiku - Ichijou Eika : Bleh... Undecided as well, can't decide who to vote against LOL

Yes, yes I'm evil, the old guys around here should know

Don't poke, some ppl take the fact very bitter.

[neutralizer]

My picks for Round 3:

Minami Haruka vs. Ibuki Fuuko - I actually liked Fuuko in CLANNAD, Haruka's cool but not as moe as Fuuko.
Yuuki Mikan vs. Hiro - Hidamari Sketch mojo.
Seto San vs. Hanyuu - Hauu~
Edomae Runa vs. Chiba Kirino - Kirino was awesome from what I saw of BB.
Hinamori Amu vs. Hiiragi Kagami - KAGAMI-SAMA orz.
Ryuuguu Rena vs. Miyako - Pass on psycho moe.
Fujibayashi Kyou vs. Minami Kana - exercise room scene.
Sakagami Tomoyo vs. Izumi Konata - Wait... Konata is moe?
Shana vs. Takamachi Nanoha - Shana has always been one of my tops for moe.
Morimiya Aono vs. Yagami Hayate - I don't even like Aono as a character let alone think she's moe.
Minami Chiaki vs. Kawazoe Tamaki - She was pretty awesome.
Ha tena Yousei vs. Furukawa Nagisa - Nagisa's mannerisms and voice so moe.
Mizunashi Akari vs. Shindou Chihiro - ARIA auto vote.
Sanzenin Nagi vs. Hiiragi Tsukasa - Tsundere loli.
Isurugi Noe vs. Suzu - Because Noe is moe.
Katsura Hinagiku vs. Ichijou Eika - It makes me sad to see so many vote for Eika. I do like Eika, but ultimate moe is still Hinagiku.

Kotomi turned back time.


Minami Haruka vs. Ibuki Fuuko - Haruka isn't bad, but she isn't that noteworthy, either. Let's make DOZOmbie's victory more than just anti-votes.
Seto San vs. Hanyuu - I wouldn't mind Hanyu too much, but nekomimi mermeido trumps her easily.


Edomae Runa vs. Chiba Kirino - I don't like Runa anyway, and Kirino is an energetic moe.
Yuuki Mikan vs. Hiro - For the sake of the dearly-departed Yuno, all remaining HS must advance.


Hinamori Amu vs. Hiiragi Kagami - Don't care about the other show.
Fujibayashi Kyou vs. Minami Kana - I am still facepalming over Bossu's past successes. Seriously? She beat Yuno? A low total for Yuno makes me despair for this tournament regardless. Kyou's thighs will crush Bossu.


Sakagami Tomoyo vs. Izumi Konata - Konata's advance must be stopped. Looking to the waifu moe to stop her.
Ryuuguu Rena vs. Miyako - All must advance, even in the face of overwhelming odds. An honest, free spirit moe.


Shana vs. Takamachi Nanoha - She'll probably have overwhelming support on this board anyway. Plus, Nanoha's coming back as a loli next year.
Minami Chiaki vs. Kawazoe Tamaki - Again, can't see where the Minami-ke support is coming from. Chiaki was adorable when she was used as a charm against rain, but other than that she's not likable at all. Voting for the defender of justice.


Hatena Yousei vs. Furukawa Nagisa - Wtf question fairy. Gag/meme character must stopped, and Nagisa is a good one to do it.
Morimiya Aono vs. Yagami Hayate - I like Aono, and Yutaka needs revenge for being crushed by a Nanoha character two years running.


Mizunashi Akari vs. Shindou Chihiro - Eyepatch moe, nuff said.
Sanzenin Nagi vs. Hiiragi Tsukasa - Vinegar moe.


Isurugi Noe vs. Suzu - Ha, like Suzu's going to be able to win this.
Katsura Hinagiku vs. Ichijou Eika - Of course.
