Konata vs Kuroko is the most surprising result for me this time. Konata had looked like she was improving a lot as of late while Kuroko looked to be on a downward trend. Then this match makes it look like neither had changed a bit since Amethsyt 1. I wonder if this was a one time fluke of their true strength was just hidden by unreliable matches as of late. Mikuru looked pretty good in her match with Sora. She just barely missed breaking 60%. Mio looks good in her match with Yuri while Eucliwood underperforms on Charlotte. I was pretty sure Eucliwood was stronger than Mio but it looks like it might be pretty close in the end. Speaking of close matches we had a few of them today. Before the matches, I felt Yuki and Ui had a slight edge over their opponents and they managed to hang on to it. I expected Lingyin to have a bit more breathing space in her victory but she ends up winning by just a single vote!

Why are people surprised Index beat Rin...Rin has had a bare minimum pulse showing this season. Why should a loss to a Tier 5ish character be surprising? It's clear that whatever new voters came on this year just don't like Rin. Her past solid performances won't be continuing anymore.
Nice to see some super tight matches at least.

P.S. Is anyone able to view the charts[time/location] for individual matches this round? All of them dead link for me.

A lot of the new voters that came on this year perhaps simply haven't even seen Fate/Stay Night. It has been a long time since that anime first aired, after all.
I know that when "character I mildly like" goes up against "character I don't even know", I always vote for the character I mildly like. So I really can't blame other new voters for doing the same. The importance of which anime show a character stars in is clearly important. The sheer numbers of Angel Beats!, K-On!, and Infinite Stratos characters in this is suggestive here. More people have seen these shows, and so each of the female characters in them gets a chance at a potentially wider fanbase because of it.

ARENA 01: Akiyama Mio [Kotobuki Tsumugi]
This first one was very tight for me, as I like the two K-On! girls here about equally well. I eventually voted for Mugi since she'll probably lose. So this is my first pure mercy vote of ISML. ARENA 02: Sengoku Nadeko [Hirasawa Ui] ARENA 03: Shinonono Hōki [Senjōgahara Hitagi] ARENA 04: Kasugano Sora [Abstained] Haruna ARENA 05: [Nagato Yuki] Fujibayashi Kyō ARENA 06: Eucliwood Hellscythe [Abstained] Sanzen'in Nagi ARENA 07: Izumi Konata [Shiina] ARENA 08: Shiina Mafuyu [Shana] ARENA 09: [Saber] Shirai Kuroko ARENA 10: Aisaka Taiga [Suzumiya Haruhi] ARENA 11: Konjiki no Yami [Holo] ARENA 12: Sakagami Tomoyo [Furukawa Nagisa] This was my toughest call overall though. ARENA 13: [Tachibana Kanade] Last Order ARENA 14: Yui [Nakamura Yuri] ARENA 15: [Fate Testarossa] Iwasawa Asami ARENA 16: Kuroi Mato [Abstained] Huang Lingyin ARENA 17: [Hirasawa Yui] Charlotte Dunois ARENA 18: Index L. Prohibitorum [Abstained] Nymph ARENA 19: [Tōsaka Rin] Kōsaka Kirino ARENA 20: Aragaki Ayase [Abstained] Laura Bodewig ARENA 21: Louise Valličre [Asahina Mikuru] ARENA 22: C.C. [Nakano Azusa] ARENA 23: Seraphim [Victorique de Blois] ARENA 24: [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)] Katsura Hinagiku ARENA 25: [Hiiragi Kagami] Misaka Mikoto ARENA 26: Shirakawa Kotori [Abstained] Hoshino Ruri
