Saimoe 09: Round 3, Day 1
Winners: Chiaki (Minami-ke), Isumi (Hayate)
& sadly, Nagi-sama is out of the tournament. Maybe one day there'll be a second season of "Kannagi" & she'll get a second chance. But for the time being, she's done for good. & with Wilcke's lost, all the "Strike Witches" are now gone too. Quite surprising considering how well they were expected to do. Full results:
A1
1st 477 Chiaki Minami @ Minami-ke
2nd 394 Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke @ Strike Witches
B2
1st 475 Isumi Saginomiya @ Hayate The Combat Butler
2nd 415 Nagi @ Kannagi
We might get another "Saki" sweep tomorrow. The girls from that series have slowly narrowed done during the first two rounds, but all that means is that the most popular ones are left. The first group has Yuuki (Saki) going up against Utau (Shugo Chara). Should prove to be an easy win for Tacos.
The second group is Kana (Saki) vs Fuuko (Clannad). It's two big factions with "Saki" up against KyoAni, but despite Clannad's popularity I don't think she can win against the nekomimi mahjong player. So yeah, expect the taco-loving loli & wannabe cat-girl to both advance.
