I take that last quote back!!! Mikoto just got herself a perfect and also a dangerous opponent in Azusa. As much as I see a win in Mikoto for the next round and a huge SDO boost, she doesn't have a series at the moment and Azusa just had herself an episode mostly centered on herself which could be a major problem. (I am so going to be a nervous wreck until the results monday)

Speaking of K-on, Mio and Yui will be at each others throats this time rather than being partners. I think I know who have the biggest advantage here.

Shana is the current leader period wise and should have no trouble with Kurimu. But given Kurimu's track record so far this period, this match could help those who are still unbeaten trying to catch Shana.

A legend and a wise wolf. In reality, it would sound like an interesting match, but here, a match between Saber and Horo might be one sided.

Yuki could also get a match which could help SDO wise. But since Rin also has a movie out, she can't be taken lightly either. Yuki shouldn't have too much trouble winning.

The new Nanoha movie is starting to make it's rounds alittle bit, but I don't think it will be enough for Fate to get past Tomoyo.

[krko]

Poor Yui, the only way she'll have a chance is if Japan starts participating fully. Of course since that's also what Nodoka and Mihoko need to get at least another win... .

Bah, Hitagi vs Haruhi should be interesting

[zette]

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how Azusa vs. Mikoto will turn out. It'll give us a rough idea of just how much the current K-ON series is boosting its characters. The fact that Azusa just had an episode focused on her is cool and all, and I do want Azusa to come out on top in this match, but I believe that Mikoto will still win.

[Sphire]

Yea the Azusa vs Mikoto match is probably the biggest one next round. And as much as I think Mikoto should win, I wouldn't be surprised if Azusa won by a close margin.

Nagi vs Mafuyu should be interesting too. It'll show the strength of both, and test again Mafuyu's credentials for top 16. I don't think she can make it to DE, and it's because I don't see her winning these kinds of matches.

Yui vs Mio will be interesting to see the landslide margin. Kagami vs Kyou is another top 16 decider too. Haruhi vs Hitagi, probably more for position since both look likely to make DE. Though I pick Haruhi and well....Hitagi is dropping fast.

Yuki vs Rin is a missed opportunity. Both have movies centered on them, and only if it had a proper release, with more people watching, this could have been a very big match. As it looks now, Yuki will win with a fair margin.

Taiga vs Nadeko looks a tough match. I'm sure Taiga can win, and Nadeko is a strong 'ally' to have to win a necklace. I also think it's safe to assume Hinagiku isn't gonna win Amethyst given her matches so far.

[Last Sinner]

Nothing out of the ordinary for round 3. Although C.C. wasn't disgraced against Fate. I've noticed in some countries her popularity has resurged considerably since the announcement of the new Code Geass series. But since it won't air until 2011 at this rate, I don't think it will help her much here this year. Tomoyo's win over Nagisa was a good margin.

As for that exhibition match...that's a pure massacre...

[pseudonhym]

Hitagi vs Haruhi - I don't know who will win this one. I favor Hitagi, but Haruhi has been doing well these past matches while Hitagi is losing out against those in the top 16. Definitely, one of the better matches.

Kyou vs Kagami - Battle of the tsundere onee-chans

Mafuyu vs Nagi - Battle of the popular otakus. Nagi is currently in the Top 16 and Mafuyu is strong enough to be in the Top 16 as well.

Taiga vs Nadeko - Another close battle IMO, I wouldn't be sure on Taiga on this match.

Yuki vs Rin - Rin has been in a lot of exciting matches lately, and both against new comers too. Although both characters have movies, Yuki has the advantage of the camrip being out (if you can call watching it as an advantage). Yuki's victory is definite, but I can still see Rin not losing without a good fight.

Azusa vs Mikoto - I've been rewatching railgun lately, but I can't deny that the recent K-on episodes have been giving more love to Azusa than on s1. If Mikoto or Azusa really want a necklace, this match is very match is definitely a must win for both characters

[Team Rocket Elite]

Wow. Enma really killed Miyu out there. Enma isn't that weak but to recieve nearly 12 times as many votes as Miyu is pretty ridiculous. I'm pretty shocked that Mikuru lost to Konata. I thought Mikuru would win with some room to spare but it was Konata that won without much trouble. Kagami also did quite well against Maria although it wasn't as big an overperformance as Konata. Tsukasa did about as expected, though.

I don't wanna believe that, but...

[Kotohono]

Hmmm results about what I expected though I thought Ui would have done bit better againist Yuki.

In the end I couldn't pick between Kyou, and Kagami, just can't between to two of my favorite moe tsundere purple haired girls .
Also I really hope Azusa manages this win round, as I'd love to see her get the necklace for Amethyst, and she needs this win for a chance at it.
