Yes, and it will probably be before the preliminaries. I'm already starting to collect clips with the song already chosen.

Anyways, like many of you might have seen, two Saki characters will be automatically admitted into the regular season (Mihoko and Nodoka). And if you've followed 2009 exhibitions, Saki characters received very low vote totals. Do you think Saki can generate enough interest in the prelims to not get obliterated?

Lately, we've received a lot of Japanese visitors, even off-season. The number of Japanese voters increased during the final match in Double Elimination also. I wonder if this will have some effect on ISML 2010.

I was thinking about those...

[RJ TAYLER]

Decisions, decisions and I've just come to grips with this year's "Moe Grand Slam" winners. I might need a 'little' help in my shortlist, or skip to prelim voting with what you folks out there picked. Otherwise my brain 'might' BSOD.

[Noe]

I support Feito-chan with all of my heart, mind, body, soul, with everything I touch and own. May the year be more successful than the previous.

What about reverse-trap characters?
Like Nagi of Nyan Koi.

As long as they're female, anything goes.

Well, you got the most of the usual suspects.

[Last Sinner]

Sawako Kuronama - Kimi ni Todoke
Fumi Manjoume - Aoi Hana
Akira Okudaira- Aoi Hana
Haruka Minami - Minami-ke
Lucy - Elfen Lied
Pino - Ergo Proxy
Murasaki Kuhoin - Kurenai
Yurie Hitotsubashi - Kamichu!
Chizuko Mikamo - Daughter of Twenty Faces
Sakaki - Azumanga Daioh

Hard to come up with 10 but I eventually did.

[Demi.]

Ohi Last Sinner.

I wonder how much nominations will change from now to when they are actually accepted. It's not long, but things can change within a month.

(And HI Aha!)

OTL they are mocking me.... lol I haven't watched much... I guess I'll put in Yui's twin (once she lets her hair down)

(as she's Yui without the Cloud 9-ness XD.... liked it where she tried to be Yui XD)

[Ahasuerus]

LOL! Hi Demi., how's it going? I saw Last Sinner's post and was gonna comment on it but had to look up my new elite-moe character, Shinobu. I *think* she's elite; she really hasn't done much of anything yet. But so cute!

You'd think that if they got Aya Hirano for the role that she'd be saying SOMETHING!

Anyway, I haven't finalized my list of nominees yet. I hate typing, editing, and changing stuff. But LS, I was happy to see Lucy and Pino (of all girls!) on yours. I thought I was the only one around here who thought she was extremely moe~

Pino + melodica = OMG

I'm also gonna go with Sawako and possibly two girls from Bakemonogatari besides Shinobu.

But Yurie... I don't remember if you were here last year for the extended torture/mutilation that poor Yurie went through... it was awful I couldn't go through that again. Eater and I almost committed ritual suicide over it

And seeing Sakaki mentioned reminds me: Doesn't Sumika Murasame (Sasameki Koto) remind you of Yomi from AzuDaioh? Must be the glasses

Still thinkin'...

That's better, your nominations are acceptable now.

Try to watch some more anime before voting starts, It's not fun to vote in such a large, and long contest when you only know a handful characters~

____

Pino was pretty cute, and yeah Yurie is better off cheering the other characters on, than actually participating.

(A) Especially only the most popular/trendy ones (This isn't mentioned towards anyone in particular, just the general pool of voters )

(B) Pino was the best thing about Ergo Proxy, although Re-l was HOTHOTHOT! In a cool-ish kind of way

(C) Yurie

[Nochgo]

I have some questions about nominations. If a character you are planning to nominate is already nominated, is there no point in nominating them again? Meaning, as long as a character is nominated by at least one person, are they put into the prelims? Or depending on how many times a character is nominated, are they put into a 'better bracket' if even there is such a thing?
