新たな光 : Life, the Universe, and Anime Mk2

Ick, Being on Vacation causes me to really slack off in all things. This week, it was posting on Saimoe like always.

So, in this digest catchup version, I will only talk about the top 12 in the 8 groups. For the ones in 2nd chance, See Animesaimoe.org for more details on who made it.

Group 7:
1st 312 Nako Oshimizu @ Hanasaku Iroha
2nd 293 Kanade Tachibana @ Angel Beats!
3rd 273 Minko Tsurugi @ Hanasaku Iroha
4th 255 Yuuko @ A Channel
5th 252 Ui Hirasawa @ K-On!
6th 191 Itsuwa @ A Certain Magical Index
7th 169 Charlotte E. Yeager @ Strike Witches
8th 151 Nori @ Hidamari Sketch
9th 143 Jun Nagase @ The World God Only Knows
10th 127 Seraphim @ Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?
11th 117 Airi @ Queen’s Blade
12th 115 Angelene @ A Certain Magical Index

It seems that Hanasaku Iroha is popular this time around. Kanade’s return to the top 2 is no big surprise either.

Round 8:
1st 410 Mami Tomoe @ Puella Magi Madoka Magica
2nd 392 Erio Touwa @ Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko
3rd 299 Mayuri Shiina @ Steins;Gate
4th 294 Manami Tamura @ Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai
5th 263 Yui Hirasawa @ K-On!
6th 250 Haqua Du Lot Herminium @ The World God Only Knows
7th 241 Komoe Tsukuyomi @ A Certain Magical Index
8th 206 Rihoko Sakurai @ Amagami SS
9th 199 Seiri Fukiyose @ A Certain Magical Index
10th 188 Orsola Aquinas @ A Certain Magical Index
11th 181 Zakuro @ Spirit Girl Zakuro
12th 164 Yoshinoya @ Hidamari Sketch

I figured that Erio was going to be #1, due to the adorable nature of her character. But: Mami proves how powerful the Madoka faction is, as well as 3 from Index.

Round 9:
1st 340 Astarotte Ygvar @ Astarotte’s Toy!
2nd 316 Mio Akiyama @ K-On!
3rd 230 Nao Takanashi @ Onii-chan No Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara Ne!
4th 211 Mael Strom @ Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?
5th 202 Charlotte @ Puella Magi Madoka Magica
6th 195 Mercelida Ygvar @ Astarotte’s Toy!
7th 171 Stocking Anarchy @ Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt
8th 153 Kanon Mizushiro @ Jewelpet
9th 151 Msyu @ C
10th 149 Awaki Musujime @ A Certain Magical Index
10th 149 Kanako Miyamae @ Maria Holic
12th 145 Yoshimoto Imagawa @ Sengoku Otome ~Momoiro Paradox~

Mio survives being Nomnomed by Charlotte, but it is Astarotte who takes first place in this round.

Round 10:
1st 392 Sayaka Miki @ Puella Magi Madoka Magica
2nd 391 Victorique De Blois @ Gosick
3rd 268 Meme Touwa @ Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko
4th 238 Yuno @ Hidamari Sketch
5th 221 Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen @ Strike Witches
6th 209 Honne Nohotoke @ Infinite Stratos
6th 209 Akari Sakura @ Jewelpet
8th 195 Nagi @ A Channel
9th 186 Risa Kamizaki @ Amagami SS
10th 179 Sohara Mitsuki @ Sora No Otoshimono
11th 167 Aisa Himegami @ A Certain Magical Index
12th 164 Iroha Tsuchiura @ Onii-chan No Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara Ne!

1 vote. It separated Victorique from the top. Sayaka (Being the weakest link amongst the Madoka main cast) somehow pulled a major upset. Madoka will be one to watch this tourney. Also: A 40 year old MILF can be considered cute(See: MEME.)

Group 11:
1st 358 Ruri Gokou @ Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai
2nd 259 Yoshika Miyafuji @ Strike Witches
3rd 212 Tsukasa Ayatsuji @ Amagami SS
4th 196 Miyako @ Hidamari Sketch
5th 181 Mio Sakamoto @ Strike Witches
6th 174 Kanako Kurusu @ Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai
7th 146 Ai Haibara @ Detective Conan
8th 142 Avril Bradley @ Gosick
9th 134 Hirano Hasegawa @ Detective Opera Milky Holmes
10th 131 Chihiro Kosaka @ The World God Only Knows
11th 117 Mikako Satsukitane @ Sora No Otoshimono
12th 114 Mitsuko Kongou @ A Certain Magical Index

…Was there any doubt in anybodies mind that Kuroneko was gonna win this round? Also Ai Haibara enters Another Saimoe(IF I remember right, she’s been in every single one since inception…)…

Group 12:
1st 309 Charlotte Dunois @ Infinite Stratos
2nd 249 Asuha Tohara @ Astarotte’s Toy!
3rd 235 Shirayuki Hotogi @ Hidan No Aria
4th 217 Francesca Lucchini @ Strike Witches
5th 209 Lynette Bishop @ Strike Witches
6th 204 Shiori Shiomiya @ The World God Only Knows
7th 201 Minami Shimada @ Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu
8th 179 Hitoha Marui @ Mitsudomoe
8th 179 Yuuko Aioi @ Nichijou
10th 178 Reki @ Hidan No Aria
11th 175 Henriette Mystere @ Detective Opera Milky Holmes
12th 148 Mai Minagami @ Nichijou

..At the same time, also no doubt that Charlotte, the cutest character in IS, would be #1 as well. (IMO, of course.)

Group 13:
1st 326 Shana @ Shakugan No Shana
2nd 293 Cecilia Alcott @ Infinite Stratos
3rd 291 Nymph @ Sora No Otoshimono
4th 280 Lingyin Huang @ Infinite Stratos
5th 267 Haruka Lovely Morishima @ Amagami SS
6th 225 Suzu Hagimura @ Seitokai Yakuindomo
7th 203 Nero Yuzurizaki @ Detective Opera Milky Holmes
8th 172 Eclair Martinozzi @ Dog Days
9th 168 Yukimura Sanada @ Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls
10th 162 Ui Nakatsugawa @ Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
11th 158 Akira Amatsume @ Yosuga No Sora
12th 150 Yuuko Kinoshita @ Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu

A Kugimiya character finally makes #1 in the prelims. Between Brit-tan and China….Britain seems to have won this battle( for now)

Group 14:
1st 285 Elsea De Lute Irma @ The World God Only Knows
2nd 204 Maekawa @ Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko
3rd 179 Izumi Sakurai @ Nichijou
4th 174 Ricotta Elmar @ Dog Days
5th 153 Tomoe Wajima @ Hanasaku Iroha
6th 147 Chizuru Aizawa @ Squid Girl
7th 120 Chaos @ Sora No Otoshimono
8th 116 Mikoto Kondou @ Kampfer
9th 108 Tsumugi Toudou @ Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
9th 108 Natsuru Senou @ Kampfer
11th 106 Q @ C
12th 101 Kanon Hatori @ Animal Detectives Kiruminzoo
12th 101 Rebecca Anderson @ Dog Days

Finishing TWGOK recently, I can understand Elsee’s rise to #1. Also, another Denpa main right behind.

Round 15: Current:
1st 250 Tooru @ A Channel
2nd 245 Nano Shinonome @ Nichijou
3rd 211 Rose @ Dragon Crisis!
3rd 211 Isana Tachibana @ Dream Eater Merry
5th 203 Kanon Nakagawa @ The World God Only Knows
6th 198 Yukikaze Panettone @ Dog Days
7th 193 Laura Bodewig @ Infinite Stratos
8th 187 Shiro Tougi @ Fortune Arterial
9th 173 Ryouko Ookami @ Ookami-san To Shichinin No Nakamatachi
10th 172 Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke @ Strike Witches
11th 163 Salsa Tortilla @ Shukufuku No Campanella
12th 160 Tabane Shinonono @ Infinite Stratos

A Channel Surprises me, as it came out of nowhere to win first place on the group. “Loli Laura” also made it in as well as one of the twins from Campanella(If one did, the other one better had…)

Final Round Preview:

Yep, Houki is not one happy camper. Reason being, the last round(With her in it) is loaded with heavy hitters. Index, Menma, Madoka, plus Sanya from Strike Witches leaves a lot of pain coming her way. Leaving Houki going “DAMMIT”.

As always, all results from Animesaimoe.org.

Note: After tomorrow, there will be a one day voting break, then 2nd Prelims start. Afterwords…Comiket 80 will stop Saimoe before the main event(The scheduling this year is right on)….

Today shows the full power of OreImouto.(Just wait till Kuroneko shows up…)

Auto IN:
1st 380 Kirino Kousaka @ Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai

10th 164 Ieyasu Tokugawa @ Sengoku Otome ~Momoiro Paradox~
11th 158 Yukionna @ Nurarihyon No Mago
11th 158 Kotone Sawanatsu @ Soft Tennis

And don’t worry about Azu-nyan’s fall from #1. She is still Reigning champion for now (She didn’t need the #1 ranking to proceed.)
