Heaviest voting so far yesterday, with Nanoha just barely squeaking out a victory over a surprisingly vigorous Yutaka. Was it the result of tactical voting that just couldn't overcome Nanoha's violent popularity? Or did Yutaka in a yukata at the fireworks show last week draw in that much additional support? Tough call.

But the big vote-winner was Luna from Seto, proving once again that cute and evil beats out attractively bust and hot-blooded every time. Bad luck for Subaru, but at the same time, if she was going to go up against stiff opposition, she couldn't possibly have asked for a better day to do it on.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of voting strength of Death Note. Possibly, it not really being oriented towards the moe-loving crowd, the fans of that show just don't know/care about Saimoe in the first place? Ah well, Aria characters are always welcome.

C-3 today will be interesting. There's no question about which of the characters is more moe - Hinagiku is one of the best characters of the new season, in my opinion. But with Jun in the mix, there's a lot of potential for mischief voting, and a lot of people who aren't Hayate fans might come in just for the kick of advancing a guy that much farther in a girls-only competition.

C-7 is a bit tough for me to call, simply because I still haven't gotten around to Magipoka, and haven't seen a lot of Shuffle to start with. Both Caro and Primula made it out of the first prelim, with just about the same rank, but Caro's vote total was considerably higher. Caro's got a little bit of an advantage with Vita in C-11, but that might actually help Vita more than it helps Caro, who is plenty cute in a kind of inoffensive way on her own. On the other hand, Caro got upstaged by Vivio in Strikers...

C-11 is one I'd have had trouble calling last week. Then I went out and bought three volumes of the Strawberry Marshmallow manga. Essentially, there is no longer a question in my mind that Ana is the most moe of the three. That said, I'm not certain that the voting will reflect that. The Strikers vote is pretty large, though one can hope that Nanoha fans can also see the cuteness inherent in Ana. Additionally, Vita isn't as moe in the new season (basically as Nanoha's meaner alter ego in training) as she was in A's (gothy dress plus cute domestic scenes plus smash-mouth combat style). The screwball factor is a possible pity vote, given what happened to Vita in the show last week; if she'd actually died I'd give this one to her and damn the cute, but I don't think they're killing her off just yet.
