So I still look at Saimoe occasionally
The first round will be over in a few days. Here's a chart of the voting so far (part two here). Interesting comments:
Lucky Star's getting slaughtered - Konata out, Kagami out. The Kagami round was interesting, because it was the highest vote total so far. Kagami lost narrowly to Mikuru (kind of a rip, because this is Mikuru from the shorts, but oh well.) The same round had Maria from Hayate winning in a close match over Touka from Saki (why was that even close? Touka's not moe!) I suspect we're seeing even more of the "knock out any moe girl who isn't my favorite" voting that's already caused a lot of eyeball-rolling this season, but it might have cancelled itself out between the two rounds.
Strike Witches is doing pretty well - the only major characters who've lost a round were Yeager (up against Hisa from Saki), Ella (up against Rika from Higurashi), and Bishop (quite a respectable vote total, but up against Taiga from Toradora...)
On the topic of Higurashi, why... won't... it... die?
K-On advanced Yui, Azusa, and... Nodoka. How does Nodoka advance (by five votes against a minor Saki character) and Mio doesn't? It's like the fabric of reality is about to rip apart and show that something's gone fundamentally wrong with the order of the universe.
The list of characters advancing from Index is interesting - Misaka (no shock, she's getting her own show), the loli teacher, and Last Order/Misaka (another loli, but with a fun speech quirk). But not Index, who lost to Azusa.
Saki's been storming through so far, though it's also heavily concentrated in the last few matches (eh, that's what happens when you have 20 entrants). No main cast losses yet, though Nodoka, Saki, and Mako haven't come up yet (only Mako's really in doubt, up against Sanya). Hisa advanced, as did Saki's sister, rabbit-ear Koromo and cat-ear Kana, stealth-mode Momoko (over Mugi-chan from K-On, and yeah, I can buy that), plus Taco. Surprisingly, bondage-theme-loli Hajime lost out to Ayumu from Hayate...
Hayate (four advancing, plus likely Nagi) and Clannad (seven advancing) are the other big Round 1 winners. No shock there.
Off to what promises to be a full day at the office. I'll probably comment a little more in a few days, when Round 1 wraps up.

I think Index fell mainly because she splits with Azusa from the core demographic of people who would vote for her, and ultimately she is not relevant to the story anymore.
The K-ON story in Saimoe is laced with Endless Eight hate, but I'm not sure how far that hate extends. Mio might have advanced if E8 ended at episode 7, or her match was moved to a later date.
Higurashi... well. Welcome to 2ch.
