Saimoe Round 2 Wrap-up

Ha ha ha it's time for more Saimoe

Rest of Round 2. As always, predictions in bold, favorite in italics, actual winner in underline.



Group E

Sakuno Uryuu @ Mashiroiro Symphony ~The Colour Of Lovers~
Yumi Kajiki @ Saki
Kurumi Hazuki @ Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel
Wowww, did not see this coming. One of my favorite Sakis... Oh well. The Mashiroiro fans will be happy, Saki fans already have enough.

Yayoi Takatsuki @ The Idolmaster
Sanae Nagatsuki @ Squid Girl
Sanya V. Litvyak @ Strike Witches
Hahaha yes, Sanya strong! I didn't think she'd be the witch to do this well but here we are!

Hibiki Ganaha @ The Idolmaster
Rin Tousaka @ Fate/Stay Night
Charlotte Dunois @ Infinite Stratos
Kinda annoyed about this, not really the biggest Infinite Stratos fan or anything. Oh well.

Yuu Matsumi @ Saki
Taiga Aisaka @ Toradora!
Yui Hirasawa @ K-On!
Yuu seems like she might be one of the strongest Sakis overall. She really stomped first round and this victory was quite decisive too.


Group F

Hercule Barton @ Detective Opera Milky Holmes
Seraphim @ Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?
Yui Funami @ Yuru Yuri
YuruYuri had some baaaaad first rounds so I'm glad to see Yui push on without much resistance. Next round should be like... pretty feasible??

Kirame Hanada @ Saki
Kanna Tanigawa @ Ano Natsu De Matteru
Haruka Amami @ The Idolmaster
Subara! etc. 

Kuro Matsumi @ Saki
Nyarlathotep @ Haiyore! Nyarlko-san
Ryuuka Shimizudani @ Saki
Geez, the Saki alliance is really strong, isn't it? I thought Nyarlko would be near impossible to stop...

Eru Chitanda @ Hyouka
Ririchiyo Shirakiin @ Inu X Boku SS
Miyako @ Hidamari Sketch
Woooaaaaah, no way... Chitanda defeated?? I really didn't expect to see this so early.

Group G

Momoko Touyoko @ Saki
Nodoka Haramura @ Saki
Ai Nanasaki @ Amagami SS
Will Nodoka make it to face the monkey in group finals?? I'm actually starting to have my doubts...

Hina Takanashi @ Papa No Iukoto O Kikinasai!
Aria H. Kanzaki @ Hidan No Aria
Hitagi Senjougahara @ Ghostory
Hm, sorta surprised to see this but I really shouldn't have been, I guess. Could this be a double monogatari showdown?? Uhh probably not seems more likely to be double Saki...

Kotori Otonashi @ The Idolmaster
Aoi Yamada @ Working!!
Rea Sanka @ Sankarea
Tsukihi Araragi @ Ghostory
I was hoping that she'd be losing for a bit so I could make some sort of "rising like a phoenix" joke but whatever.

Ako Atarashi @ Saki
Squid Girl @ Squid Girl
Mael Strom @ Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?
Dang wow yeah Ika getting beaten by a dang monkey. Oh well, Ako is one of my favorite Sakis, really. But... dang.

Group H

Airi Kashii @ Ro-Kyu-Bu!
Minko Tsurugi @ Hanasaku Iroha
Poplar Taneshima @ Working!
Aw dang whaaaat? Poplar isn't as popular as I hoped...

Shana @ Shakugan No Shana
Snow Black @ Accel World
Nano Shinonome @ Nichijou
Nano put up a good fight! Both of her competitors were way too strong, though. 

Mio Akiyama @ K-On!
Rika Furude @ When They Cry
Nazuna Takanashi @ Working!
Mio now going up against a girl from a much less subtle, less sophisticated era... It's really a shame. Well, *I* still like pre-2010 levels of class in character designs!

Elucia De Lute Irma @ The World God Only Knows
Marika Katou @ Bodacious Space Pirates
Sena Kashiwazaki @ Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai
This being the over-the-top walking caricature of a character I refer to... Nah, I'm kidding, I like Meat alright.


Round 2 Final Score

I predicted correctly 9/16 times. I'm up to 88/128. Japan had good taste 6/16 times. That's 60/128 for them.
