No surprises yesterday. Satoko's winning vote total was comfortable but not all that high for a Higurashi girl. Then again, she has neither the sexy plus evil jolt of the older girls, nor the unfortunate adorableness of Rika; the story's just brutal to her, not that we're talking about a show full of flowers and dancing. The bracketing is ALSO brutal to her - being third fiddle in the upcoming Suigintou vs. Fate battle will not be kind.

Shamal limped to a victory over Gretel. Scary to think that she actually got an action scene recently - her first since ep 2 of A's. If they'd just left her on the back burner for the rest of the show, she might not have pulled this one out. No comment on Ringo's victory, just don't know the shows.

H-2 is already over. Suigintou was always one of the serious contenders in Rozen Maiden, and the OAV that qualified all the characters this year was all Suigintou's story. Sorry, Manaka, Koyori, but you're two very moveable objects in the face of unstoppable moe.

H-6 isn't nearly as cut and dried (well, what is?) Alicia has a significant vote advantage on her own - decent performance in the first prelim, and hell, I like Aria. Reinforce was pretty moe on her own, for all that she was a bit tall and emo back in A's, but she's not a patch on her replacement and Rein Zwei already lost. I seriously doubt a strong effort to push her through - there's four Strikers characters in group H1 and she's probably bottom of the list. I also remember Steven mentioning that he was shocked that Margery even made the tourney, so we probably shouldn't expect too much out of her.

[Edit - it occurred to me that if you're a bit violent, a bit emo, and have black wings, you could do a lot worse than having your round on the same day as Suigintou. So who knows?]

H-10 is a race for last place - three characters from the bottom half of the second prelim qualifiers. I only know one of them, and frankly, I'd vote for a random character just to vote AGAINST Takano. (Maybe not for Jun. But pretty much anyone else!) Heard Nodame was pretty good, but not to the point that I've grabbed any to watch yet...
