Fun day from yesterday's voting. Totals were up a little, as you'd expect with a relatively big match. Fate ended up winning her round against unexpectedly heavy opposition from Kotonoha, who actually held the lead for a little while before falling behind in later voting. Mion, a strong performer last year, turned in the most pathetic performance of the day. Sorry, Mion, but open carry isn't moe!

In the other matches, Kiri easily beats both contenders in her match, and CC wipes the floor with a split To Love vote.

Higurashi fans have a chance to get revenge today, as last year's champion Rika goes up against Touma from Minami-ke. I found Touma to be cast in the same mold as Tomo from Azumanga, but three times worse, so I wouldn't particularly care if she were beaten with a bag of hammers. On the other hand, I'd really like it if Rika were to be thrown off a cliff, resurrected, then thrown off again... "Murderous loli" doesn't quite do it for me, however justified.

(Update: It's been pointed out that this is cousin Touma, the inoffensive and manly cousin, not Kana the bag-of-hammer-beating-prospect. Hey, neat, now I can vote for someone in this round. ;p)

I've got to favor Miyako from Bamboo Blade in A7. Something of a gimmick character - the "I am a nice person except actually evil and violent when nobody's looking" shtick is always good for a comedy - and her taste in men is not merely questionable, but sad. If she was up against real moe, she'd be toast. But against a Gundam 00 character (there is no moe in that series, unless you count Haro) and another forgettable To Love entry, hey, why not? I'm rooting for Bamboo Blade to do well in the tournament as a whole.

A11's a dumping ground. Maki's a one-note joke, Konomi is definitely second or third fiddle to other girls from To Heart 2, and I avoided Shugo Chara like the pneumonic plague. Ah well, they can't all be nail-biters...
