Saimoe results 7/13, prelim 7/14

Sorry, Steven, only eighteen votes for Wara Yellow. I guess she's just not as moe as Black...

No tremendous surprises yesterday - Anna Coppola comes out on top, as expected from her performance last year and general all-around cuteness. Ginga scores well with the StrikerS vote. Both the Gurren Lagann leads get in there, as well as Wilhelmi from Shana and Nobue from Strawberry Marshmallow. A bit disappointing that Saki ended up 9th, but there was a very tight voting group from third on, so she'll probably do well in the second preliminary. Interesting that the busty demoness character from that lousy original episode of Hayate managed to place so high - I guess the Dragon Warrior references there were funnier if you're Japanese? Ah well.

Today's round has Mai (my favorite of the Kanon characters - sorry, Ayu) and Nanoha (whose friends didn't lose any votes going from lolita to busty, and she DID win in 2005...) and Misa from Death Note (not really my taste, but cute idol character from a scary popular show is more or less bound to do well.) Also cropping up is Dejiko (didn't know there was a new Di Gi Charat show this year...), Natsuki (the only one of the HiME crew that did anything last year), Yue (one of the few good things about Negima), Alicia from Aria, Suzuka from Nanoha (totally secondary character, not even IN the new season aside from photos, but anything Nanoha gets votes), Haruhi from Ouran (did well last year, I'll toss a vote that way too), Alisa Southerncross from Keroro (who recently cropped up in the US release of the manga, and is a fun character), and Solty from Solty Rei (another good contender from last year.)

Going through these lists hammers home just how much anime comes out every year, including a lot of shows that even a geek like me has never even heard of. Was there really a show with "N.Y.SALAD" in the title last year? I did find a few shows that I enjoyed from last year's tournament, plus a couple more that are on my "get around to it" list (Strawberry Marshmallow, Shana).

1 I didn't expect her to do well. (See my previous comment.)

2 I presume that whenever Matsuri from Ichigo Mashimaro shows up, she's going to get a huge number of votes. On the other hand, I don't understand Nobue being so popular.

3 Couldn't say - that's one of the shows from the "get around to it" list. ;p
