Saimoe 09: Round 2, Day 1
Winners: Chiaki (Minami-ke) & Kana (Saki)
Both "Lucky Star" klutzes finished in last place today. Damn, I can't believe Tsukasa did so bad. Both Hiiragi sisters are now out of the tournament, despite being the two top finishers last year. & with only Miyuki & a few minor characters left, LS is over in this tournament. Well, the series did enjoy a good two year run. Guess the third time wasn't the charm. & with no more anime in sight, this might be the last year for the girls as well.
I was disappointed by Last Order losing her round as well. Yutaka losing was more predictable. I've never seen any of "Minami-ke," but it's really popular. But still, I have no attachment to Chiaki so I have no interest in seeing her move on any further. As for Kana, she's cute & all (gotta love nekomimi modo), but I still wanted either Tsukasa or Holo to win. Full results:
A1
1st 583 Chiaki Minami @ Minami-ke
2nd 467 Last Order @ A Certain Magical Index
3rd 271 Yutaka Kobayakawa @ Lucky Star
B1
1st 591 Kana Ikeda @ Saki
2nd 454 Holo @ Spice & Wolf
3rd 406 Tsukasa Hiiragi @ Lucky Star
Tomorrow's first group features Ayame (Asu no Yoichi), Shuri (Koihime), & Wilcke (Strike Witches). Shuri has my full support. For anyone who hasn't watched "Koihime Muso," shame on you! I'll just tell you she's one cute lesbian loli. But alas, she seems doomed to fail against the like of Wilcke. The "Strike Witches" girls should continue to do well in round 2.
Group 2 sees Yuno (Hidamari Sketch), Fuuko (Clannad), & Haruna (To Love-ru). Fuuko should be able to win this easy. Sorry "To Love-ru" fans, but Haruna will likely fall to last place tomorrow.
