More heavy voting, though not on the same level as yesterday's tremendous pile of votes. Hinagiku cruises to a crushing victory over Jun the trap, showing that as much as people like to throw monkey wrenches in the works, they don't like it as much as they like student council presidents with agoraphobia and a touch of tsundere.

The other two rounds came out quite interestingly, though. Apparently Aono from Sola was in the lead until quite late, Japan-time, so either a tremendous amount of Strikers voters were up late, or got organized at the last minute. (Not having seen Sola, I can't say whether she's moe or not. But more moe than Ana? Criminy!) Caro, whose competition wasn't as stiff as Vita's, ended up with more votes and a big margin of victory.

C-4 today is... okay, I'd say "explosive!", but it would be a terrible pun, and it's more of an interesting showdown than a red-hot one. Steven mentioned his opinion that Nobue isn't moe at all, but now that I've read some of the manga, I have to disagree a little; she's mean, she's a smoker and a drinker at 16, and I actually like her more than her sister, who's just a target but not as cute of one as Matsuri. But Chika took more votes in the early voting (where, interestingly enough, Nobue and Tokiko both got 416.) Tokiko has an outside chance, but being in the same round as Nobue will hurt her, I think - she'd do better as a contrast between a couple of worthless moeblobs than against another character with a bit of bite to her. I'll call it for Chika just because of that split...

C-8 is tough. I couldn't get past the double-wide presentation of Hidamari Sketch, so I can't say whether she's actually moe or not. But I'd like to see her win, simply because the other two results would end up meaningless. Shari winning would end up against Caro in the next round, where she'd be slaughtered completely. Makoto (big) would end up against the regular Makoto, and while a Kanon duel has some appeal, it's not like Makoto (big) has any real chance.

In fact, each respective show is actually better off if their character DOESN'T win this round. Round 2 is already Caro vs. Makoto vs. the winner of C-8. That's going to be a close one no matter how you slice it. But splitting a show's vote between two candidates is just going to Nader the other one to victory. Less of a threat from Shari - only the most hardcore glasses fetishist could vote for her over Caro - but it'll still be a real test of organization to see how this turns out.

C-12 is the undercard of the day, though I realize there's quite a few Feena fans out there. Not really familiar with any of the shows, though all three characters qualified from the first preliminary, and Matsuri came in second in hers. After yesterday, we know the Sola fans are out there, so perhaps they'll turn out in order to get another shot at Vita next round?
