AD2007: Round 10 voting

[dunno001]

And it's the final stretch, ladies and gentlemen. Will your team emerge victorius, or will they languish in the bowels of the rankings? Your votes will determine it, so vote now, and good luck to all the teams! ^_^

[Dagger]

After several easy rounds, I have to make a hard choice again? :cry:

Layla was an automatic vote.

My other vote came down to a choice between Rosetta, Rena and Hermes. I like Rosetta a lot, but Layla and Sora (who I also voted for) are the two Kaleido Star characters who really stand head and shoulders above the rest IMO. And I think Rena is very moe~... but I'm not sure how much I appreciate her as a character. I wouldn't exactly want to have her making me dinner, if you know what I mean. Hermes, on the other hand, is amusing and endearing (and probably fighting an uphill battle, being the only non-humanoid being in the round). So my second vote went to him.

[something]

Ichijou-san (Pani Poni Dash)
Layla Hamilton (Kaliedo Star)
Rena Ryugu (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
Xelloss (Slayers)

No, seriously, what happened to this round? NONE of these characters are top tier for me. There's not a single one I'd give an instant vote to :sd: These are all like, third or fourth tier characters, even on the shortlist, except maybe Xelloss.

So uh... Xelloss and... ummmmm... ::plays the 'ask a friend to pick a number without telling him what it's for' game again:: ...Layla it is.

[dunno001]

Hmm... interesting round for me. Mytho was an easy vote, since he's my favorite character in a series I love. The second one was a bit trickier, but since I modeled an NPC off of Xelloss, that's where my second vote went.

[Helschadenfreude]

Yay, thanks for the only vote I got from you.. I think. :D disarm overwhelming likes the cute girls... :P Anyway I picked the same.

[Laputa]

NONE of these characters are top tier for me.
So would you have voted for any one of these: Teletha Testarossa, Hitomi Kanzaki, Kero-chan, Ranma, Katsuhiko Jinnai, Captain Goto... :sd: ...because they were all top of my reserves list that dunno pulled Setsuna from.
(Tylor was near the top, but not at it)

For the record, Setsuna's full name is Setsuna Sakurazaki. Her surname isn't showing on the poll.

Get your Setsuna pictures here.
Setsuna 1 (http://www.life.eclipse.co.uk/negima-beach.jpg)
Setsuna 2 (http://www.geocities.com/animeinfo2000/negima122cover.jpg)

Um, hate to say it.. I would pick all those over Setsuna. And I think disarm really likes Testarossa... unless that was some other user with the d starting name.....

[Helschadenfreude]

Hmm... interesting round for me. Mytho was an easy vote, since he's my favorite character in a series I love. The second one was a bit trickier, but since I modeled an NPC off of Xelloss, that's where my second vote went.


Wahhh, thanks. That's 2 votes equal to the number I get from each year.... :D

[Puppet Master]

Voted for Gene Starwind and Kambei Murata.

[something]

Yay, thanks for the only vote I got from you.. I think. :D disarm overwhelming likes the cute girls... :P Anyway I picked the same.
You got Saito on my shortlist once, but he was #4 overall for me that round so I had to pass. I was going to say you got me for Lulu, but it appears someone else drafted him instead.

[something]

So would you have voted for any one of these: Teletha Testarossa
The others, no (except maybe Kero, if he never had shown us his silly ass true form, but Tessa would have been OH GOD YES INSTAVOTE.

Though I haven't seen Negima, so I can't say they're "better" than Setsuna, who I'm sure I'd like if I actually saw the show. But Tessa... Tessa is awesome and would have been shortlisted on any of the rounds and been a vote getter in at least half.

[something]

Wahhh, thanks. That's 2 votes equal to the number I get from each year.... :D
Honestly, looking at the field this round, Xelloss has a good chance at flat out winning it... but that may be my bias, since I range from 'decent' to 'meh' on every other character this round (and there are some I just don't know).

[Laputa]

Teletha originally was top of my reserve list, but in a very short moment of madness, I moved Setsuna up to the top. I was unable to change it due to circumstances. *sigh* Ah well, next year...

[Azumangaman]

Come on out, Samurai 7 fans!

Votes go to Kambei Murata and Layla Hamilton.

[something]

Teletha originally was top of my reserve list, but in a very short moment of madness, I moved Setsuna up to the top. I was unable to change it due to circumstances. *sigh* Ah well, next year...
I'm actually quite flabbergasted that she wasn't picked in the first half of the draft, let alone not at all. Still, I don't think Setsuna is a bad choice, especially this late. Negima seems popular around here, and constantly kicks ass in the New Releases polls in R1. Whether or not Negima popularity implies Setsuna popularity, I don't know, but if it does you should be in good shape.

[Victor Lewandowski]

Miko: What do you think, coach?
Jimmie: One good turn deserves another. Do what you can to help them.
Miko: You got it! *Goes to Victor's clubhouse & slays the demons*
Miko: Man, this was more for Sango than for me! Anyway, I've cleaned house for you, Imari. Save some of those students for me!
Jimmie: Now we won't see Miko again until the Draft is over...

The dirty old freak, Happosai just showed up with Hinako’s round results. “If I wound up doing worse than Mika-sensei or Haruka, I’m going to drain you so dry you’ll never wake up from my attack,” Hinako yelled. Happosai tells Hinako that she still lost to Mika-sensei, but beat Haruka. After finding out the results, Hinako decides to let Happosai live, but not before she sucked his battle aura within an inch of his life. Also, Haruka has now awakened from her most recent coma and tells Hinako “Congratulations” as Washu is ready to make her next move. “Ok, the school is free of the demon threat, but now we have to get the students back to normal,” Washu told everyone. “Mizuho and Misato, you will help me please some students and satisfy their desires. Mika and Hinako, please round up the students still in the building and deliver them to us. Mutsuki, call up your fellow mama-teachers and have them clean up the school. You can have Osaka and Haruka help you with this. Becky, I need you to look up Imari’s file in the office and add this incident to her permanent record.”

With all the duties assigned to everyone, Becky proceeded to the office. On the way she ran into Ichijo-san, who started hanging all over Becky. Becky told Ichijo to get off of her or be sent down for treatment right away with the other students. Ichijo did as Becky had asked and Becky had then asked Ichijo for some help. “Ichijo-san, I need some help in the office finding Imari’s file. Will you help me?” Becky said. “If you help me, I give you that second vote my group has for this round.” Ichijo agreed and the two went up to the office to locate Imari’s file. After finding the file and updating it, Becky called Washu and told her, “Mission Accomplished.”

Final round votes go to Mutsuki Ichimonji (Happy Lesson) and Ichijo-san (Paniponi Dash)

[EmperorBrandon]

Mytho got my first vote here. Not my favorite male character in Tutu, but I still found him very interesting.

Second vote definitely goes to Gene Starwind. He's a former member of my own draft team, so have to go with him (made Outlaw Star a fun series in my opinion). There are some other choices that were tempting in this round, Kaleido Star characters for instance.

[ibby]

Hopefully people that are waiting for the Kurau's DVD's from ADV will show their support in this round. My second vote went to Dorothy from MAR.

[TnAdct1]

For the last round, I went with the half-bird demon and a character that sounds similiar to the girl that she loves.

In other words, I went with Secchan and Ichijou.

[Lumberjack]

Went with Gene and Hermes for this final round.

[Jimmie M]

No drama with my votes ;) :

Yohko Mano (Devil Hunter Yohko)
Miyuki Kobayakawa (You're Under Arrest!)

Please give these ladies your support! :)

[dunno001]

Okay, I've posted the scores through round 8 here (http://www.geocities.com/dunno001/AD07/board.html). And yes, that is a 1 point difference between first and second, so this further shows that this is FAR from over!

[Helschadenfreude]

Yay, thanks for the only vote I got from you.. I think. :D disarm overwhelming likes the cute girls... :P Anyway I picked the same.
You got Saito on my shortlist once, but he was #4 overall for me that round so I had to pass. I was going to say you got me for Lulu, but it appears someone else drafted him instead.

It's all ibby's fault.... :cry:

[ape2020]

Not many shows I've seen here with a very poor choice of characters. So I thought I would vote to not rock the boat with a vote for male-hoe Gene Starwind (Outlaw Star) & Diva Open runner-up the lovely Layla Hamilton (Kaliedo Star).

-ape2020

[Spirit Of The Stage]

Nuts...looks like my plan of splitting the votes has failed miserably as everyone is voting for Layla...wah.

Won't regret it though, love to Rosetta.

Second vote was quite tricky, Layla, Setchan, Hermes, Xelloss and Ichijou-san all considered, however due to the fact he was one of the first anime characters I thought was genuinelly hilarious and it was the show that got me into anime, I went with James from Pokemon. (I miss Eric Stuart... :cry: )

[Randall Flagg]

Another easy one.

Mutsuki Ichimonji and the gorgeous Miyuki Kobayakawa.

[Isuzu Inugami]

Teletha originally was top of my reserve list, but in a very short moment of madness, I moved Setsuna up to the top. I was unable to change it due to circumstances. *sigh* Ah well, next year...

Eh, don't beat yourself up. Setsuna was my INSTAVOTE; Tessa would have been in a hard fight with Hermes.

[Buster Blader 126]

My #1 vote goes straight to Kojiro. :D He was my instant vote, and I gotta show support for one of my personal favourite anime titles.

#2 vote goes to Kambei. He was one of my favourite characters/samurai in Samurai 7 (after Gorobei & Heihachi). Plus he's one of the 3-4 characters I actually know about. :roll:

[Randall Flagg]

So would you have voted for any one of these: Teletha Testarossa

I definitely would have found a way for both of my votes to have been for my Tessa.

[raistlinmajere]

Layla and Rosetta~

[Spirit Of The Stage]

Layla and Rosetta~

:) Thank you - now I know I won't get the dreaded one vote...go diablo master!!!

[kit-kat]

Mytho and Rosetta

[XenoCrisis0153]

No drama with my votes ;) :

Yohko Mano (Devil Hunter Yohko)
Miyuki Kobayakawa (You're Under Arrest!)

Please give these ladies your support! :)
yeah, listen to the man.... heeheehee, thanks for your support Jimmie ^_____^ go Miyuki!!

We've lost the sidebar. :sd:

For yet another HD-DVD vs. Blu Ray poll. Oh happy day! ::rolls eyes::

Well, at least we got 3+ days of sidebar goodness...

This thread already has 80 or so more views than round 9.

[Helschadenfreude]

It makes me wonder... since if you vote in the side bar you get transferred here, and it clearly says round whichever.. shouldn't one be curious to look at the other rounds?

[AnnaSartin]

*crawls out of her grave covered in dust and emerges forth into the daylight*

I... HAVE... INTERNET!... *collapses* After two months of hardship and woe I FINALLY have internet again. *tries to ignore the fact that it's shitty dial-up service because she's too poor for the good stuff* So anyway, what's been going on in gthe draft? I can't believe I missed most of it... *cries*

[Laputa]

Welcome back, Anna.

Depending on how you look at it, I'm either poised to takeover the world and defeat all magical girls with the power I gain, or have the greatest tsukkomi slapdown ever seen handed to me by one or a combination of the teams.

But either way, it should be fun.

I was doing all right through the first five rounds, but then my team dropped like a rock with Mika, Haruka, and Hinako averaging only 3 points each. I do have one good thing to be proud of even though my team will end up in the bottom half of the totals when things wrap up tomorrow. All four of the duels that I set up to counter another pick made in that round (Majors, Child Teachers, Choushin, Hentai) wound up with my characters winning the duels. :>

[Nosredna]

Went with the talking motorrad and the diabolo performing KStar member.

[Jimmie M]

Yohko Mano (Devil Hunter Yohko)
Miyuki Kobayakawa (You're Under Arrest!)

Please give these ladies your support! :)

1 hour remains for this round & the Draft! Get your votes in! :)

[dunno001]

Yes, quickly now, especially since I should be around to post final scores soon after it ends... ^_^

[dunno001]

Okay, the results are in... and you people just had to break the budget, didn't you? *goes off to order another bronze medal, ie, update the master scoreboard*

EDIT: Okay, the board is here (http://www.geocities.com/dunno001/AD07/board.html), and I have to say it's the tightest draft ever! The final difference between first and second was a scant 0.5 points! Congratulations to Famicom on his win, and I'm now going to get dinner! Round 11 and post-game feedback thread is to start in the morning.

[something]

This... this round confuses me immensely. What the heck?

[Jimmie M]

Round 10 ends in a tie! Good to see Miyuki do so well even at my expense (Much better than Natsumi did in Round 1, that's for sure :sd: ). 18 for Yohko was a pleasant surprise-There's hope for old-school characters yet! Thanks to everyone who voted for Yohko here in Round 10! :)

Congrats to:
-Lumberjack & XenoCrisis on both finishing first in Round 10
-Famicom on winning AD2007

[Nosredna]

Congrats to the two winners of the round! But you two don't get a question :P .

Congrats Coach Famicom! How does it feel to be the Champion of the 2007 Anime Draft? Before the draft started did you believe you had a chance at winning? Anything else you'd like to add?

[Lumberjack]

Congrats to Famicom on the win.

Thanks to all who voted for Gene.

[Herufaiya]

Congrats to all players and thanks to all voters, and of course big thanks to the organizers of this multi-month event.
I finished in the top 5, neat!

[Famicom]

Congrats Coach Famicom! How does it feel to be the Champion of the 2007 Anime Draft? Before the draft started did you believe you had a chance at winning? Anything else you'd like to add?

Going into the voting I felt I had a chance as good as anybody. During the drafting process I was getting all the picks I wanted until about round 5, and then I finally started to have to make tough alternative decisions, which of course was the start of my freefall in voting numbers. Lupin and Layla were last minute additions to my draft list, and they pretty much bailed me out.

I'd like to thank all those that put in your votes for my team, and my fellow 17 competitors for a non-controversial, no bickering, tightly run, and NO TIES Anime Draft. By far the best since I've been participating in 2005. Hopefully this will encourage more people to join in next year. :)

*Heads back into his lurking cave now*

[Helschadenfreude]

11th... wheee.. Middle of the pack kinda...

Well I'm happy, and congrats to Famicom!

[EmperorBrandon]

Really cool to see Gene get so many votes.

Well, turns out I placed decently in the end. Thanks to all of those who supported my characters - It was a fun game.

[dunno001]

This... this round confuses me immensely. What the heck?

It's not a scored round; rather, it's just something I do to see which winner of the rounds is the favorite. Don't worry, the scores posted right now are finals.

That's what confuses me. Gene Starwind? Oh I have nothing against him, but... the winner? Really? :stun: Never ever would have predicted that.

[Azumangaman]

Cool, I was in 3rd place for a bunch of rounds :D
Big congrats to Famicom! Thanks for all who voted for Kambei! I'll be drafting a Sam.7 character next year, guaranteed!
This was fun! I always finish these things in 7-9th place it seems (2 of chimps tourneys, AD07)

[Spirit Of The Stage]

I picked with my heart instead of my head at the end (would Taishi or Onsokamaru have faired better though? ^_^) and unfortunately round 10 was my second worst round, but still finished joint 3rd, so thanks for the votes for Rosetta-tan for those who did, and congrats to Famicom and Lumberjack for the one-two finish that never seemed in doubt in the end!

Overall, my first draft and can't say I'm disappointed with a 3rd place finish and only two of my characters getting the lower half (Rosetta and Ruri) and one win and a third place with Yomi and Kyon (not to mention Fate's 4th place) - I'm probably do a fanfic later as well to finalise everything but thanks again for a great draft!

[Jimmie M]

Well, I couldn't escape the cellar this time but I still had fun with it. Thanks guys for making AD2007 fun & strife-free for all involved. :) And thanks again to everyone who voted for Team Justice! :)

[Victor Lewandowski]

Tied with Anna for 13th place.

Funny thing with this tie is one of Anna's characters ended up in 13th place on an exam that shocked the teachers at her school.

If there is one character on my team that I'm surprised did so poorly. it would be Haruka Suzumiya. I wish I would have saved her for round 10 to take advantage of the final volume of KimiNozo/Rumbling Hearts starting to show up for people to see. :D

[AnnaSartin]

Congrats to Famicom!!!!

Can somebody post a link to the scoreboard? Maybe next year I'll actually be able to participate in the game I'm playing in... :cry: :cry:

Any high points or low points in the game this year?

[dunno001]

The scoreboard was in this thread, albeit buried, so here it is (http://www.geocities.com/dunno001/AD07/board.html).

As for highs and lows, well... it's kinda tough to tell from just my end. Everyone will have their own thoughts, of course. I guess one of the lows would be that we finally had a character get 0 votes? My high would be the ending and that damn close finish! I love the drama, because in the others, it seems easy to tell who will win. Maybe the elimination of the bonuses this year did that?

[XenoCrisis0153]

oh wow... I've been busy lately and haven't been around in a while, so please forgive the lateness of this... Thank you to everyone who voted for Miyuki!! Girls who drive cop-cars like bad-asses sure deserve all the love they can get. <3 <3 <3

Please vote for her in Round 11, too ;) :D
