[bci110]

Haruka Suzumiya, Honya-chan, Primula, and Mikuru Asahina.

[Splitter]

Haruka, Nana, Primula, and Ama (revenge for Fate's loss)

[Spirit Of The Stage]

Azmaria - Tough as all three are pretty good characters, but I just enjoy Azmaria's the most.

Nodoka - Easily Honya's toughest test the way she blitzed through Setchan to my surprise, but I think she can come through...

Eruru - It's the tail...

Mikuru: Sure, she beat Fate-chan, but I said whoever won that match would be the east champ and I stick by that.

[Puppet Master]

Voted for

Azmaria (Can't stand Hazuki)
Nodoka Miyazaki (Only one I've voted for throughout)

[EmperorBrandon]

I will keep voting Haruka Suzumiya and Eruru from here on out (if I have to make a choice between the two, then Haruka).

[ADC]

Let's see … Hazuki's only moe in the opening titles, so no. Haruka needs a swift kick in the ass, so no. I dub thee … Azmaria!

The other one contains my last remaining truly preferred character, Nodoka, and it isn't even close. Nana's reign of terror is over.

[TnAdct1]

My votes for the quarter-finals:

-Azmaria
-Nodoka-chan :neko:
-Eruru (the "tailgasm" is worth the vote)
-Mikuru

[Victor Lewandowski]

Haruka, Honya-chan, and the Shigures.

Hoping for a Haruka/Nodoka match next round. :D I knew that Haruka would give Konoka a battle last round, but I'm surprised and glad to see that Haruka pulled off the upset. :>

[LimePie]

HazukiNodokaEruruMikuru

[HitokiriShadow]

Hazuki, Nadoka, Eruru , Ama (Go MILF, avenge Fate-chan!!)

The Eruru vs. Shuffle Girls was a tough call. But animal girls are too damn cute. Especially Eruru. Sorry, Primula, Asa.

[ayareiko]

My votes:

Hazuki - Neko Mimi Modo for the win.
Nodoka
Primula
Mikuru - Sorry Ama-san, but she's the definition of moe... at least Haruhi says so.

[XenoCrisis0153]

Hazuki
Nodoka
Asa
Mikuru

I'm gunnin' for a Nodoka versus Mikuru final fight... even then, it'll be a tough choice

[EmperorBrandon]

Nooo, Haruka lost. :( She made it pretty far, though, so well enough.

And good thing Eruru keeps advancing. Crush Mikuru!!!

[Victor Lewandowski]

Nooo, Haruka lost. :( She made it pretty far, though, so well enough.

I wonder where that battle would have gone if it weren't a three-way (just Hazuki and Haruka, or Azmaria and Haruka). :sd: It was a pretty close match between all three.

[Spirit Of The Stage]

Nooo, Haruka lost. :( She made it pretty far, though, so well enough.

And good thing Eruru keeps advancing. Crush Mikuru!!!

So it's

Hazuki (Moon Phase) vs. Nodoka Miyazaki (Negima) for the Western final and Eruru (Utawaremono) vs. Mikuru Asahina (Melancholy of Haruhi) in the Eastern final.

I like all four characters - projected final Nodoka vs. Mikuru - final WANTS it to be - Nodoka vs Eruru. :D

[HitokiriShadow]

Damn you Mikuru, why are you still here? Completel lack of backbone =/= moe. If that was the case, Shinji Ikari would be the ultimate moe.

Except for Aya Reiko tiny ban of teenie weenies. Go figure?

As for the results, well the Moe voting is down over 50%. I wonder if its the polling format, lackluster moe material, or moe mania just is dying in general?

It probably has a lot to do with lots varied tastes on this forum... with the end of this round, only one character is left that I give a damn about. If Mikuru weren't in anymore, I wouldn't even bother with the semifinal votes.

That really doesn't explain the drop in voting from last year. If I remember right the semis and finals were pushing 80-90 votes.

Victor-doo, where are you? And your stats?

OIC

I thought that you were just talking about from earlier during this tournament...

Maybe Saimoe left a bad taste in people's mouths?

Desu sits on a throne of LIES!!!

[shadow_Hiei]

Only character worthy of winning that made it to the quarterfinals of Saimoe was Tohsaka, and she made it there with the least support and got crushed IRRC.

Even when it came down to the doll and the loli, those idiots still couldn't pick the right one. At least Fate's a little badass. (most badass little kid in anime behind Killua) From the clips that I've seen of her, desu just looks annoying.

[EmperorBrandon]

Suiseiseki is a little annoying at first, but she turns out to be a great character in my opinion.
