Saimoe 2008

For those who are following it. For those who aren't, wiki/google "Saimoe 2008" or click here for the full tournament bracket. I'm somewhat sure that it's popular enough by now, though.

Yes, I probably have nothing better to do atm than to write out all of my votes. Some may notice that I have a heavy bias towards certain shows. Well that's because they deserve to win.

A group
01: Haruka Minami (Minami-ke) - won her round already
02: Kiri Komori (Zetsubou Sensei)
03: Rika Furude (Higurashi)

12:

I wrote a list with pic links, but then my post got eaten so to hell if I'm writing another one.

I'll make one support then will wait until round 2s: Hinagiku Katsura.

I don't even bother following these until they're in the quarter finals or so.
I hear Yuko Amamiya is in the Saimoe this year, I hope she gets somewhere if she hasn't been defeated already.

dangit Miya-Miya lost. orz

Coopa > ef.

Only Haruhi > ef, all these Saimoe results are lies.

Hanyuu dominated her competition.

Potemayo is infinitely more moe than Shirley and Nunnally combined. Moeblob is moe.



*Edit* Yessss Potemayo wins. All is right with the world. Oh, and Kirino too I guess.

Tomorrow: watch Coopa lose to Yuuko Amamiya and me being sad about it. Guchuko > competition.

*Edit* ahaha. Coopa > ef. Too bad Guchuko lost.

Yukine vs Ryou... hmmmm.... Yukine.

and Nene. or die.

I just noticed that Amamiya Yuuko won 3rd place in Group B2
since she didn't make first that's the end of the line for her right?

Yeah. Yuuko is out for good, and 3rd place means that she was the least popular character. :p

Also, I am appalled at the lack of support for Yukine. Then again, she's hardly a main character, so I guess Ryou was the obvious winner.

Next up: Kyou from Potemayo, Miyuki from Lucky Star, and the almighty Suzumiya Haruhi (from Lucky Star).

omg Haruhi got owned badly. I guess I really overestimated her.

So having Haruhi show up in a commercial defines her as a character of the show eh?
Hoshino won her bracket, although the competition blew and it's no surprise why she won, there are better characters in Myself;Yourself than her so I hope they get to see some action.

Dangit. Maria got omochikaeri'd by only 22 votes. Kotomi and Konata were pretty much obvious winners, though.

Kotomi was obvious.

Reinforce 2 held out better than I thought, well she is pretty cute but I thought the popularity factor would widen the gap.

Wow, Rena and Maria was fierce.

Heh, Yoshinoya-sensei beat Reika. I guess people do love their cosplaying teachers.

Oh, and Tomoyo won, obviously. Along with Wilhelmina and Miyako. These results are to my liking.

Nobody cares about today's results, moving on.

everyone who was expected to win won.
Shana
Nanoha Faction
Tamaki (bamboo blade)

That reminds me, we should watch BB in club.

So, Hatsune Mikuisn't so moe after all.

The less popularity and win Hatsune Miku gets the happier I become.

That just means there are more fools that like Nanoha and Sola out there.

Nanoha blows
Sola is awesome.
I don't think Sola ever got popular sadly, I couldn't get past the synopsis for Nanoha that's just how bad it sounded.
I'm pretty sure when there's a magical girl show whose power is from something called a raging heart it can be denounced as something retarded.

Well good that it's called Raising Heart then.

The synopsis on ANN says
"When she is given a pearl known as the Raging Heart ..."

and from the nanoha wiki

"The bonus information card that accompanied the anime DVDs reads "Raising Heart"."

Hinagiku won her round. The world is in perfect balance as result.

Yeah. Now excuse me while i beat myself with a stick over how much I don't care about today's bracket.

*Edit* That was yesterday. Today will be Tiffania's turn.

Oh, and I'm hoping Mei wins.
