Well, rally around Shana's banner it is, then. Except for Toki and the Matsumi sisters, this has been a rather unfriendly round for newcomers.

But first, I have to undergo the customary cardboard eating ritual after having lost my last favorite bet this year.

Excuse me while I mourn my loss for tonight...

From a convincing win by Shana to she had to win the final hour to advance to the top 8. I would have given Shana a chance if she won convincingly. Now, I'm not so sure.

Top 8:
Best end = Kuro Matsumi
Good end = Yu Matsumi
Interesting = Louise, Shana
Acceptable = Toki
Saki, Nodoka, Hisa..... (Not really, completed the Achiga series, but only half the original series)

That was a very close match. Sena was leading until an hour before the match ended, but Shana got a lot of votes during the last hour and ended up winning.

What I predicted since round 3 started came true, the top 8 only have Saki and Rie Kugimiya characters. Though I was hoping there would be more Rie characters in the top 8 but a lot of them got beaten by Saki characters.

We can divide the Saki characters into two smaller groups and so this leaves with 3 groups:

New Saki characters: Yuu, Kuro, Toki. They are the top 3 in terms of characters with the most number of total votes that are still in the tournament.

Old Saki characters: Saki, Nodoka, Hisa. The two main girls and their club president in the original series.

TsundeRie characters: Shana and Louise. Rie Kugimiya's first 2 tsundere characters with their final season ended this year and many other things both characters and series share. They are the only characters (and Nodoka) that have ever reached the top 8 for the 3rd time.

I'm rooting for the TsundeRie faction. This is the final year for Shana and Louise and it will be boring if a Saki character becomes the champion since they occupy 6 of the top 8.

Well. Saki has a 3 in 4 chance to finish the job and a 1 in 4 chance to officially render themselves as an overrated show in terms of moe concerns.

I'd laugh like hell if another Sakichoke happens. 2 Ries, 6 Sakis . . . how very fun.

Oh well I'm still rooting for Toki to win it all.

I have some nice, fresh cardboard here that says Shana's chances of winning the tournament are next to none. There's only one contender for the top spot; after Akarin got blown away it became clear there was only ever one contender.

What they're fighting over now is the order of the runners-up.
