Soooo, is it a bad thing that Mami didn't beat Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga's 2002 losing numbers to win Saimoe this year?
But still, first D+ cup victory in Saimoe, marking an end to the DFC domination. Which actually makes you wonder. Was he DFC domination really a Japan thing, or was it the foreigners?

Yesterday's Result:
Sakura Kyouko - 435 Tomoe Mami - 512 Congrats to Tomoe Mami our Anime Saimoe Tournament 2011 champion! I thought Kyouko would be able to give Mami a bit more of a challenge but Kyouko ended up doing worse than either Madoka or Ika Musume. Hopefully, unlike Taiga, Mami decides to stay away from Saimoe from now on to hold on to her perfect record. It was really impressive how dominant the Puella Magi were this year. They even had the disadvantage of their top member getting kicked out in Round 1. One regret I have about the tournament is not getting to see just how badly Akemi Homura would crush everyone. I might have even been Homura here instead of Mami if Homura was given a fair chance. In any case, congrats again to Mami on her victory!

I think something else that perhaps can be taken out of this victory is the old adage "It's not about being the most loved, it's about being the least hated". I say that because Mami Tomoe had very little screen-time, probably the least of all five Puella Magi. But less screen-time means less chance to do something that'll bother/offend viewers. With the exception of a certain short scene in Episode 10, Mami consistently came out smelling like roses because she was never forced through tortured indecisiveness (Madoka), a slow tragic descent (Sayaka), or turning cold/cynical due to tragedies lived through (Homura and Kyouko). That makes Mami's moe an unblemished one, in a sense.

YAY!! A well deserved victory. I'm so glad she won! After those Kyouko fakes in the beginning were so misleading, I thought it was going to be an intense round, but it was just another match. Kyouko had a really good rush, but not enough to overcome our champ.
No matter how you look at it, a win's a win. 2011 belongs to Mami CONGRATS!! You were never alone See you all next year |

As for foreign votes, I doubt we'd contribute more than 100 at any point. Also, they do have a point in regards to their official justification. I think this year's low vote totals is more due to a lack of quality series and characters than anything. Beyond PMMM, almost nothing new debuted this year that will likely be remembered in a couple of years or so.

I'll admit that I myself would have probably found PMMM vs. Steins;Gate more interesting than what we did get, if Steins;Gate was a bit stronger. Something like Homura vs. Mayuri and Madoka vs. Kurisu as your two semifinals matches would have been very pleasing to me. But, I'm personally happy with what we did get, although vote totals are of course a bit disappointing. Also, looking over the list of Saimoe winners to date, there's only one or two girls I prefer to Mami, so she's already one of my favorite Saimoe winners of all-time.

http://tcode.sakura.ne.jp/anime07/mining1103.html Traditionally, codes ending in Y and Z are the foreign votes. That being said in that final Nagi had 366 foreign votes to go with 1133 JP votes. Rika? 424 foreign, 1097 JP. For the highest scoring one-on-one match that year (Kagami vs. Rena) http://tcode.sakura.ne.jp/anime07/mining1008.html Rena: 446 foreign / 1455 JP Kagami: 422 foreign / 1346 JP

Nonetheless it took 10 contest for the first non-flat character to win, and just for that I will forgive Mami for beating Kyouko |

Rika was what i called the "Not the most popular but least hated" champion.
And the aftermath of the Rika/Nagi vote was when 2ch started mass banning foreign ip. Up to that point they were trying to make it easier for foreigners to vote. One of the organizers form 2ch posted in the AS saimoe thread that year.
