Saimoe thread, so as to not shit up /a/ with whining for the next three months. However, when canvassing for votes is necessary, imagedumps are the only way and motherfuckers will just have to deal
Anyway, preliminaries are over and main matches start 08/08.
Here is some fag's blog with coverage, secondhand from AS threads (for earlier information, you'll have to taint your history with that shithole by reading their threads): http://synchroom.wikispaces.com/SaiMoe2007
the winners are
754 votes Shana@Shakugan no Shana Series
754 votes Evangeline A.K. McDowell@Negima!?
(tied in their bracket)

That's fucking wild that Shana and Evangeline tied. I was pretty pleased to see Tomoe win a round, though. I always thought she was cute, especially for a reasonably unimportant character.
Don't know if it works, but this guy seems pretty confident.

614 votes Hirai Yukari@Shakugan no Shana
567 votes Minagishi Ayano@Lucky Star
At this point, Hayate has 3 characters in the second rounds of group A, and Shana and Rozen each have 2.
Additionally, a Lucky Star character that was only in the OP at the time of her nomination beat a dead girl and the female lead from Mamoru-kun, which no one watched.

タバサ(シャルロット・エレーヌ・オルレアン)@ゼロの使い魔(Tabitha@Zero no Tsukaima)
B-1
Shiznat against each other first round. I call hax, and the split will probably ensure that Hayate takes that one as well.
B-5
Konata. facepalm.jpg
B-9
Mois takes the third most likely, since she's Teh Mamiko and Keroro fans are numerous

Siesta should probably win B3.
I wonder if voters have enough sense to not vote for Kanata in B7. On the other hand, if she won, she'd probably lose next round due to revenge voting out of principle.
As for B11, Chikaru for sure -- though I personally am a Haruka fanboy, Chikaru is too awesome. That's individual character that will carry her, not SP "series mojo".

I can see Kanata winning this round. Venus versus Virus was hardly a big name this year. Konoka is a contender, but right now LS fever is hot, while Negima!? is a memory.

ウルトリィ@うたわれるもの(Urutori@Utawarerumono)
ファイン@ふしぎ星の☆ふたご姫Gyu!(Fine@Fushigi Boshi no Futago Hime Gyu!)
Not sure about B4, depends on if Kanon or Hayate fans are out in greater force. Against Konata, Nayuki would be strategically better for Kyoani fan separation and lack of enemies like Hayate may be racking up.
Mikan probably for B8. I'd vote for her anyway.
B15 doesn't matter because it's just choosing who is going to come in third in Round 2.
C-10(08/22):
弥海砂@DEATH NOTE(Amane Misa@DEATH NOTE)
クレア@CLAYMORE(Clare@CLAYMORE)
アイ@ARIA The NATURAL(Ai@ARIA The NATURAL)
Touko is extremely moe, but the StrikerS characters will probably take 2 and 6. Not sure about 10, though I am a supporter of Aria. Also lol english series names

>>32 http://aa.tamanegi.org/anime/ has a bunch of AA sorted by series, but remember in the voting forum you're limited to 20 lines, so you can't post big stuff like:
Here's your chance to vote for Jun if you are so inclined. I like Kagome but might go for Hinagiku just in case. Yuuma and Ana in the second two, fuck StrikerS and its character spam
This was an interesting set of matches since it didn't have too many huge-name series in it compared to the rest of Group C. But the second round matchups all have Hayate or Nanoha characters in them, and pretty much only the Kanon entry has a high likelihood of making it through.

D-1 is a murderer. That's a group worthy of a Round 2 matchup (at LEAST) right up front. Yuno should take it though, since her series is newer than Marimite and better than Zwei, heh. But Yumi and Arika are both incredible. Might not vote.

<<月島きらり@きらりん☆レボリューション>>(Tsukishima Kirari@Kirarin Revolution)
Noriko and Mugi have that appeal of a quiet, out-of-place stranger with a secret. I don't know if that's moe but they are decent characters built around that element. Miu will probably take it in D2, however. Interesting matches otherwise this time, will be pretty obvious once the voting starts where they go but it's good to have a break from LS/Hayate/Nanoha
