No surprises yesterday, except possibly the low voting volume. Nodoka crushed her opposition, Saki won over a photograph, and in the close round of the day, Asa from Shuffle edged out Ikuno from TH2. (Close, sure, but less than 1200 votes round-wide! Oy, wonder how they'll all do in round 2...)

Today's definitely Strikers day - each of the rounds has a Nanoha character in it. This is really going to warp how the voting would come out, since fans of any of the three are likely to vote for the other two unless they have a really, really good reason not to...

E-4 features Ginga versus Mai from Ghost Hunt and Hikari from Strawberry Panic. Even though Ginga's sister (and lead character) Subaru is already out, Ginga's actually a little more popular - Subaru, for all her overt lesbian leanings, is a little too much of a tomboy. Or rather, it's been commented that she's almost more of an escapee from GaoGaiGar! Then again, Ginga had a heel turn recently, so that might affect her popularity, but the competition's just not of the caliber to pose a real threat.

That's not the case in E-8, where it's a wide-open round. Signum is the least moe of the Nanoha characters today (too much bushido/severe tendencies), so she's the long shot of the Strikers today. Setsuna is one of the more popular Negima girls, though she's also cursed with a bit of the "too much warrior to be really cute" syndrome. Henrietta from Zero... damn, I just don't know here. Cute, sure, but not really a deep character from the first season. But it's not the first season anymore, and the one episode I've seen from the second season showed that she was going to be much more involved in the story, and I haven't seen how that's been playing out. All three characters had fairly high vote totals in the first prelim round, so that's no help. I can't call it; if Signum wins it, it's purely because of carryover votes from the other two matches today.

E-12 is a bit more clear-cut; Teana seems to be the most popular of the new Nanoha characters (excepting Vivio, who was a customized moe-bomb.) Nunnally has some cripple moe going for her, but it might be a bit too much - especially put up against Nanoha fans, who remember a much more active and cheerful Hayate in the same role from A's. Then again, Hayate could at least see! I don't see Nunnally winning this one - Tea had a much higher vote total in the first prelim.
