Well, late for me this time around...
ARENA 01: Akiyama Mio Eucliwood Hellscythe [Nakano Azusa] Yuzuriha Inori Suzumiya Haruhi Nakamura Yuri Shana (ぺろぺろ. Azu-nyan deserves a necklace after all this time...) ARENA 02: Fate Testarossa Fujibayashi Kyō [Senjōgahara Hitagi] Kisaragi Chihaya Nia Teppelin Yui Higurashi Kagome (Not hard at all...Hitagi is my favorite of the bunch by miles. There's Kyou but that's it...) ARENA 03: Lindy Harlaown Orimura Chifuyu Hōsen Elis Lacus Clyne [Patchouli Knowledge] Chrome Dokuro Koigakubo Yuri (Completely random, aka voting for the girl that I think "looks the most moe") ARENA 04: Amami Haruka Euphemia Li Britannia [Araragi Karen] Kajiwara Sora Athena Glory Yomiko Readman Shindō Chihiro (火憐ちゃんぺろぺろ) ARENA 05: Sakura Kyōko Kasugano Sora Elucia de Lute Ima [Aragaki Ayase] Shirai Kuroko Hirasawa Ui Ichinose Kotomi (ラブリーマイエンジェルあやせたん) ARENA 06: [Shinonono Hōki] Kanzaki Kaori (I'm way too neutral on this two. At the end, Kanzaki tends to annoy me more, so I voted for Hoki) ARENA 07: [Kaname Madoka] Kinomoto Sakura (/人◕‿‿◕人\僕と契約して、魔法少女になってよ!/人◕‿‿◕人\) ARENA 08: [Matsumae Ohana] Maria (And Maria continues to get shaft) ARENA 09: Miyamoto Konatsu, Okita Sawa [Kiriyama Yui, Nagase Iori] (Not a fan of Konatsu. Not a fan of Yui. I find Iori cuter than Sawa, so Kokoro Connect that is. Inaban and Wakana will beat all 4 in no time anyway)

Congrats Eucliwood on winning the Emerald necklace! Azusa and Mio split their votes but I don't think it would have made up for the difference in votes. Eucliwood should be outright stronger than Mio or Azusa. Shana and Haruhi were completely out of the running so props to their fanbases for supporting their character even if it meant throwing away your vote. With this necklace, Nova has claimed a majority of the available necklaces.
Yui-nyan wins her group as expected. After the top 8 in Stella, there's a large gap in power. Yui-nyan would Yuri have fit right into the gap. Touhou characters are always decently strong ans Patchy is no exception. I guess her opponents weren't too strong but she had a nice margin of victory. Karen wins the third match. No surprises there. Kasugano Sora! What an amazing performance. You can't get anti-voted in a 7 way match and Sora benefits from this big time. Sora would have trouble beating anyone else in the match 1 on 1 but easily takes the win in a free-for-all. A very nice job by Sora. Kyouko's performance was a bit disappointing. Madoka characters are supposed to excel at multi-way matches. Kyouko does look a fair bit better than usual but still fails to avoid last place.

Congrats to Eu. Kinda expected, but still nice. Is it weird though that Haruhi got the second most votes? And won in China? I've not been paying attention, but that seems slightly weird. Also nice that Nova won the inter-division battle with more necklace wins (and 2 minor jewel wins), but I don't think Nova has anyone left to fight for Topaz now (unless a K-On and KugiRie split simultaneously happens).
The rest of the results are kinda meh, but Tari Tari won in China (and some surroundings), whilst Kokoro Connect won practically everywhere else. Can we make anything out of this? I don't think either are gonna be challenging say Accel World or Nyaruko-san (although that match had the top dogs of the show).

Mio and Azusa's combined vote totals was impressive to me. The main issue I see here is that K-On! fans were split on who to vote for. Azusa and Mio are pretty close in relative strength, so it's not obvious to K-On fans which girl to support in situations like this.

Well...
1. Necklace match wise, Azu-nyan and Mio split votes as expected, which enable Eu to win easily. I don't like the result, but oh well... 1a. On a side note, seriously, Haruhi of all people getting 2nd place? It's understandable that she may finished ahead of Mio/Azu-nyan, but ahead of Shana also? Of course, she dominates PR China, not surprising (Haruhi creates the "new generation" otaku wave in China more or less...) 2. Yui-Hitagi. If not for SE Asia, it would be a complete Eastern World-Western World split. I guess SE Asia is the difference here. 3. Toho actually win something in ISML? 4. Karen wins in her exhibition as expected. The more notable fact is the AST-like amount of vote for some girls anyway... 5. Sora should thank China for winning... 6. 50-50 split b/t Kaori and Hoki, as expected 7. Madoka...sigh... 8. Maria, sigh...(Wait, I voted for Ohana) 9. Tari Tari v. Kokoroco is close. East Asia vote (along with SE Asia) is enough somehow...

I found both of the posters to be very beautiful. Is Eu's really that bad? Is it because there is too much white in the poster? I am not really good with these art things. Sora's poster is certainly well-done with the glow, the trees, the green hue on her dress and the like.
Touhou has won almost every single 7-way exhibition match when they are represented. While they will probably get nowhere 1v1, with a wide split like this, Touhou can easily dominate. It also helps that her opponents are not really the baddest of the bunch for her to worry about. Looks like people still like old school magical girls. I knew Houki and Kaori were similar in looks and personality, but a near 50/50 split? Compared to the rest of the exhibition matches, TT vs. KC do not really excite the crowd much. Maybe they still need a bit more time for a better analysis of their power. |

Well, congrats to Eu for winning Emerald. My only comment about her poster is, there is not enough green in it.
If it weren't for the green text, I think it could have passed off for a Diamond Necklace poster. Then again, we no longer have a Diamond Necklace. Good.

We are going to keep the render for the poster, and possibly add more "green" things to it later on. Unfortunately our main poster maker is AWOL for Emerald, but she should be back soon.
Note: Mikoto's facial expression changed in her Ruby poster too.
