Saimoe 2010 Group A&B

I didn’t intend for this to be my first post, but I’ll be damned if I let this go without a comment…

I am absolutely shocked that Himari (Omamori Himari) managed to win her bracket. With contenders from Saki and the ever so ubiquitous Tamaki (To Heart 2) staring her in the face, Himari might have done better to just forfeit. And this isn’t even considering Kuesu’s (Omamori Himari) role in the fray. I was fully expecting Himari and Kuesu to split their votes and have Tamaki sitting on top of them holding Kaori (Saki) as the winner.

But somehow she pulled through, albeit by only four votes, Himari has managed to unseat another Saki contender. I’m sure the neko-mimi helped, I’m very partial to neko-mimi so I totally approve of this!

And on the subject of neko-mimi, Hanekawa (Bakemonogatari) lost to Ikaros (Sora no Otoshimono). Granted that SoraOta is quite popular (Nymph did win her bracket) and Ikaros surely has more 'hopes and dreams’ to offer, I didn’t expect this fledgling to be able to unseat Hanekawa. Maybe Mayoi or Kanbaru, but Hanekawa is practically second to Senjougahara, and she lost by a rather fair margin too. Although I pegged Hanekawa to win, my wishes were with Ikaros so this was good for me too.

Looks as if preliminary votes mean nothing in this year’s Saimoe. I look forward to Groups C and D, go go Baka-Test! Give Hitomi Harada more voice roles!
