Saimoe 8/19
And the first round went more or less to order, with Haruka coming out on top of the four in A1 and Fuuko powering over the other two in A5. Murasaki from Kurenai had a closer call against Chizuru from Kanokon, but still won with a margin of 74.
Feel free to log-roll votes here. For rounds in which I don't have an express favorite, I don't mind plugging in a commenter's preference. At the same time, if I do happen to care, and you have an empty vote in that round, plug mine in there! ;p
Two throwaway rounds today. To Love hasn't really caught on here (oh, joy, yet another harem show with a succubus... we've been there and done that, right?) On the other hand, CC isn't exactly... well... moe. Not unless pizza consumption counts, and apparently all the Pizza Hut ads got censored out of the US broadcast, so the Pizza Butt jokes have fallen by the wayside...
A2's no big deal for me either. Kiri's a one-note joke (not that many of the Zetsubou characters got any development, heh), and I didn't see True Tears or Kimikiss.
But A6 makes up for it, with the first big match of the series, and one of the best of the first round. Mion did quite well last year, Kotonoha has a definite claim to the yandere vote as well, and Fate... Fate wuz robbed! ;p I've got to give this one to Fate, honestly. She's not quite as moe as she was when she was a little kid, but all the fan works and the recent announcement of the movie should help refuel that. Mion is going to have to buck all the anti-Higurashi sentiment that was built up from last year, and Kotonoha is hitting the exact same fan niche; it's quite possibly a worst-case scenario for Mion.
On a related note, I'm thinking I might do well to design a Saimoe-related blog widget for the sidebar. Might be a productive use of my time today at work, if it's slow. On the other hand, so would coming home and starting on Lucky Star vol. 5...

Is there somewhere you can find an updating bracket?
And the pizza hut ads got censored out? What the heck? :S

I've linked the updating version at the top right of the blog. It's only showing half the bracket so far, though...
I gather that Pizza Hut USA didn't want to be associated with the show over here. Go fig, huh?

Just voted. Comcast may be IP-banned, but my work IP is not. I voted for Fate Testarossa, Futami Eriko, and Lala Satalin Deviluke. Fate is my second favorite Nanoha character so she was the obvious choice (sorry Mion). Eriko was by far the most interesting genius girl type character I have encountered, although Kotomi (Clannad) comes close. Anyway. I'm happy I got to vote.
Oh, and for the record, there aren't any succubi in To LOVEã‚‹--just a bunch of aliens. Granted, you probably weren't serious about the "harem show with a succubus" thing. It is as generic as it comes though.

A lot more people would vote for Eriko if they bothered to watch Kimikiss. Her moment in the spotlight towards the end was quite excellent.

I just don't know how to call A2. I've not seen True Tears, so I can't place Aiko, but Kiri vs. Eriko is tough. Both show seemed to drive people off for one reason or another. Kiri's got the cute hikikomori-moe going in her favor, versus the icy tsundere-like behavior of Eriko. In the end I see people shipping for Asuka teaming up with the SZS crowd to put Kiri on top.
I won't embarrass myself further by trying to pick the other two fights.
