The Ego's Nest

July 17, 2007

Saimoe results 7/16, prelim 7/17

Pretty blah round all around. Low vote totals - beyond the first place finisher, none of the top eight would have qualified yesterday. Ah well, the possibility of an uneven distribution of moe was the entire point of having the second preliminary round, after all.

I'm seeing Seto no Hanayome do well repeatedly, though, so I should probably look into the show. (First ran into Fate/Stay Night last year by seeing them in Saimoe...)

Things should pick up today - Ayu from Kanon is definitely that show's strongest moe character. Also running is Reinforce from Nanoha (the big sister version, who did way better than Rein Zwei last year, but she had all the screen time in A's...) Ayumu from Hayate will probably do pretty well - yamato nadesico moe plus Ryoga's sense of direction, if you can believe it. I would be perfectly happy if Hinaichigo from Rozen got zero votes and then died in a fire, but realistically she's got her fans and it's a popular show.

We'll see if Steven's prediction of which of the Waragetcha team would get any votes comes true today - Blue's up.
