Vote totals didn't really recover yesterday, but the rounds were pretty interesting nonetheless. Eruru never had to worry about a vote-split with Touka, and came in first over Rimone from Simoun. Gretel from Akazukin eked out a victory over Karada (and both of them smashed Yukari, Miyuki's mom, from Lucky Star). Finally, in a white-knuckle finish (or is that a white-haired finish?), Matsuri from Strawberry Marshmallow barely squeaked by Ichiko from Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru.

Incidentally, what the heck is the short form of Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru? I can't just call it Otome, that confuses it with the Mai-Otome series.

Alice from Aria is pretty certain to dominate G-4. Yukiji, despite being the older sister of Hinagiku, is not particularly pretty and has an annoying personality; she's Yukari from Azumanga without the niceness or good looks (and I damn with faint damns here.) Solty did all right last year, but her weak performance in the prelims shows that it didn't stick with the fans.

The other two rounds are both Higurashi vs. Gurren Lagann. Both Mion and Rika have a significant advantage to start with - Higurashi had the highest average vote of any show (its characters didn't poll the highest, but they ALL polled high.) On the other hand, Nia was a fairly new and somewhat annoying character when the first prelims happened, and aging a few years didn't hurt her at all, whereas Darry went from obnoxious little brat to good-looking girl in the same time frame. (Can't comment on the character - stopped watching the show when it got licensed, but I see plenty of screen shots around.)

I think that having Darry and Nia together will help Darry's vote total somewhat, but I don't think it'll be enough to topple either Groundhog Girl or the pistol rig.
