Saimoe 09: Round 2 by the Numbers

[nebs66]

Before going any further, looking at the above video I totally forgot that Riku was the winner of Saimoe 2003. Pretty cool considering that DNAngel was the very first NebsTV series ever.

Once again it's time to take a look at the stats of the previous round of Saimoe 2009. Just like last time "Saki" has more girls advancing to the next round than any other. In total, 7 of the 11 "Saki" characters in Round 2 won their matches & will be moving on. "Hayate" & "Clannad" have meanwhile switched places, coming in second & third respectively. "Strike Witches" suffered the most tragedies, having seven girls in Round 2 but only one moving on to Round 3:

1st 7 Saki
2nd 5 Hayate The Combat Butler
3rd 4 Clannad
4th 3 K-On!
5th 2 Shugo Chara!
5th 2 The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya
5th 2 Toradora!
5th 2 When They Cry
9th 1 A Certain Magical Index
9th 1 Ef
9th 1 Kannagi
9th 1 Minami-ke
9th 1 Strike Witches
9th 1 Utawarerumono
9th 1 Zero's Familiar
Rie Kugimiya still has the most voices in the tournament, with four of her characters still competing. & of course, they're ALL lolis and/or pettanko tsunderes (Louise, Nagi, Taiga, Tacos):

1. 4 Rie Kugimiya
2. 3 Yui Horie
3. 2 Minori Chihara
4. 2 Rie Tanaka

While Hinagiku may have reigned supreme in Round 1 with the number of votes she got, not so much this time around. Rather, it actually went to Yui of "K-On!" See, this is the kind of result I was expecting from "K-On" since the very beginning. It just took them awhile to get warmed up I guess. You gotta feel bad for Rika (Higurashi), as she got a whopping 773 votes in Round 2, but it just wasn't enough to beat Yui & she wound up losing:

1. 836 Yui Hirasawa @ K-On!
2. 786 Taiga Aisaka @ Toradora!
3. 773 Rika Furude @ When They Cry
4. 702 Nodoka Haramura @ Saki
5. 689 Koromo Amae @ Saki
6. 683 Mihoko Fukuji @ Saki
7. 675 Momoko Touyoko @ Saki
8. 669 Nagi Sanzenin @ Hayate The Combat Butler
9. 664 Louise De La Valliere @ Zero's Familiar
10. 661 Yuuki Kataoka @ Saki

Highest voting percentage is a bit of a different story though. Hina does better this time around, though it's Azunyan from "K-On" that took the highest percentage in Round 2:

1. 64.26% Azusa Nakano @ K-On!
2. 61.78% Hinagiku Katsura @ Hayate The Combat Butler
3. 61.39% Maria @ Hayate The Combat Butler
4. 58.74% Minori Kushieda @ Toradora!
5. 58.50% Nagisa Furukawa @ Clannad
6. 58.44% Momoko Touyoko @ Saki
7. 56.46% Nagi Sanzenin @ Hayate The Combat Butler
8. 53.88% Nodoka Haramura @ Saki
9. 52.88% Koromo Amae @ Saki
10. 51.84% Yuuki Kataoka @ Saki

& finally, when we combine all the votes from both Rounds 1 & 2 together, the one who comes out on top is once again Yui. Coming in at #2 is a bit surprising, as she's not from KyoAni, Hayate, or Saki. It's Taiga, from "ToraDora!" Way to go to Kugimiya's newest hit tsundere! Currently they're the only ones to break 1500 votes:

1. 1544 Yui Hirasawa @ K-On!
2. 1512 Taiga Aisaka @ Toradora
3. 1473 Hinagiku Katsura @ Hayate The Combat Butler
4. 1357 Nodoka Haramura @ Saki
5. 1356 Nagi Sanzenin @ Hayate The Combat Butler
6. 1349 Maria @ Hayate The Combat Butler
7. 1332 Mihoko Fukuji @ Saki
8. 1274 Koromo Amae @ Saki
9. 1269 Azusa Nakano @ K-On!
10. 1259 Momoko Touyoko @ Saki
