[Team Rocket Elite]

Last time we saw Nadeko, she couldn't beat Homura and was far from Saber and Azusa. Now, she's competitive with Kobato and Yui-nyan. That's quite a change. I wonder which Nadeko we'll see next time. Speaking of Saber, she doesn't so too well and neither did Rin. Saber is nearly beaten by Victorique while Rin is a distant 5th to Kyou. Rin was on the borderline of being out to being with. She'll need to go back to normal fast and even that may not be enough. Homura does quite well for herself while Yuki and Tomoyo look like they are out of the running. Homura really might make the regular season again at this rate. I expected Shana to be a bit stronger than Inori. In the end, it is Inori who takes the win. Shana should still be pretty safe for the regular season. She's one of the only members of the class of 2008 that can still say that. It seems like almost all of them are on the way out this time.

I thought Yusa Emi had an outside chance to make the regular season but not with the performance she had today. Taking last place in this group is not a good sign at all. Kurousagi has a decently strong showing. She doesn't get that close to Tsukiko but if Tsukiko is as strong as I think she is, this isn't a bad showing for Kurousagi. Shinka takes first in her group with ease. She'll be among the top end of Nova this year at this rate.

[broken270]

Shana lost? But she'll get in in the 6th round, but her seeding is going to drop. Homura defeated Yuki. Don't know if I should be happy or sad...

Could be used as an arguement against year limits for the older girls. They will fad away eventually on their own.

Either that or they'll win the whole thing. Personally, I wouldn't take chances. As much as I like Kanade for example, the anime's time is just up. I'd prefer not risking an upset because some powerful character from ages past appeared and knocked off what could have been valid competition, even if the championship goes to someone else in the end.

[Ithekro]

Kanade (and Angel Beats in general) so far is an anomoly in terms of popularity. I'm talking about the likes of Yuki, Shana, and Kyou.

Didn't Angel Beats just get a Visual Novel release or something?

Anomaly or not, it's still there and it's messing up with things.

Only thing I see on the wiki is an ongoing 4koma thing and a to-be-released game this year. Ah, found the VN. So? Are we considering everything under the sun when allowing candidates?

[Ithekro]

It would explain another boost in there numbers. They will fad away in time just like everyone else. They've only been around since 2011. Shana's been here from the start and her power is waning. Give it a few more years and Angel Beats will too start to lose steam as less and less people voting remember it as well and start to fancy newer things. That's just how it works. Unless they manage a sequel, she's not getting a refresher outside a visual novel. Unless of course thehy remake the show to follow said VN in a longer version than the first Angel Beats...like Kanon was done twice four years part.

And until they drop enough to not make too much of a difference, they'll keep knocking out fresher contestants who might have fared better otherwise. I'm against that. I'd rather clean up the brackets and remove anything that's not recent enough to have a point of being there in the first place.

[Ithekro]

That is what Saimoe is for.

ISML is for all anime girls across time and space, not just a limited set of years. The best of the best. If Kanade happens to still be the best of the best, than that is how things are.

[Houreki]

I don't undesrtand why Ayase, Inori and Eucliwood are in a seeding round. I think that round was just for the girls who already lose

Huh?

Things are divided into Nova and Stella now. Kanade can't mess up the new crop because she's in Stella.

Stella winners who advance to the regular season can have seeding matches as well to determine their ranking or sometimes tier level in the regular season. Later Nova will have their own seeding matches (I think), when the first 12 winners advance to the regular season.


Current votes: Arena 8 and 11..... two high priority choices in each arena, yet I feel like voting for every single challenger in both arenas.

Decided to reserve voting a bit. Arena 11 wasn't nice. I decided to drop Azuki Azusa, which was kinda hard... Now that I see the list, I also chose to drope Azunyan, arguing she had more than enough support already so I'd rather vote someone else I wanted. And Takao, I'm sorry, I couldn't do it (T-T)
