Saimoe Japan 2009 (not started)
Just a thread to talk about Saimoe Japan 2009. The competition hasn't actually started yet, so just talk about who you may nominate and whatnot.
I'm looking to nominate Ran and Amu from Shugo Chara, Yui and Sawako from K-ON!, and (maybe) Tsukasa from Lucky Star. Question: does 2ch support BBCode, for putting pictures in posts? Or do you have to link to them? Last edited by Kudryavka; 2009-06-07 at 00:34. |

It really sucks that 2ch's banning foreigners from voting just because we "upset the outcome" or "sway" the competition. Honestly, who cares? And why are they counting our votes separately from the Japanese votes anyway? Anime fans are anime fans; we are all the same as far as this competition is concerned! Rika won Saimoe 2007 fair and square, so what if the Japanese votes were on Nagi's side? Every vote is the same. |

Well I would think the Japanese would be able to outnumber all the foreigner just with their one-two hour waiting period. Only the serious ones with enough access time will even vote.

I agree. The mainstream anime/ low-level fans wouldn't even know or care about Saimoe. If you managed to even learn about Saimoe, that already shows that you care about anime.
And the voting system would drive a lot of potential trolls and n00bs up the wall, anyway. |

If you actually think that trolls and spammers only live in certain areas then....... Quote:
To call them trolls and low level is just an arrogant and ignorant statement on your behalf. After all, you do not know these people, nor do you know all the anime fans in your own area to label them as superior and thus worthy to vote in Saimoe. I never spammed Saimoe during the 2007 edition, and I am sure the same applies to others that got the same treatment. 2-chan could ban the trolls individually but it does not so, and I can only guess that it is so because it does not like the way foreigners sometimes vote and want 2-chan favorites to win; Wich is why they use this "spamming" excuse as a way to control the amount of foreign voters as they please. And I really have to wonder if they would actually ban entire areas in Japan because of a troll or two in them.

Perhaps in Male Best Moe next year, but Oz isn't getting a gender change just yet.
I'll definitely be rooting for Alice though. It's been a while since I've found such a perfect female character, I can't find any flaws with her. <3 Predicted winner: Mio. The anti-KyoAni faction will have to be amazingly strong to beat that. |

What would make it tough would be inter-KyoAni matches. There is still several possibilities:
Lucky Star OVA (came out last September) CLANNAD After Story Munto TV (doubt anything will come of that) K-On! And then we have the grey area: Haruhi and her spin-offs.

A few weeks left before it starts, 2 games to go and the Lakers will win this year's NBA Finals.
The twins win SaiMoe last year so they are on everyone's watchlist of elimination. My favorite top eight moe that has a chance to win this year's SaiMoe 1. Hinagiku from Hayate no Gotoku 2 (I still wanted her to win...) 2. Nagi from Kannagi 3. Tomoyo from Clannad AS 4. Yuki from Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya S2 (she's more MOE than she last time appeared) 5. Felli from Regios (leg breaker for the win) 6. Mio from K-ON (MOE MOE KYUN) 7. Maria from Hayate No Gotoku S2 (please no more first round exit) 8. Ushio from Clannad AS (Nagisa no longer necessary) I won't put Haruhi Suzumiya on my top eight. |
