Saimoe 2008

The semi-finals went as predicted. The Hiiragi won and the Final would be a match between the twin sisters. Tsukasa won from Hinagiku with 1137 vs 1096 where Kagami clearly won from Nagisa with 1122 vs 922.

Kagami was too strong for her sister and easily won with 1037 vs 976. Kagami got less votes than the semi finals and she won either way. It would have been more interesting if it would be Kagami vs Hinagiku. Anyways Hiiragi Kagami is the winner of Saimoe 2008 so here's a pic.



(sidenote: Kagami lost from Yuki in the international Saimoe 2008. The finals will be between Fate and Yuki... bleh. Clearly the Japanese have better taste than the international pplz.)

Saimoe 2008

So the quarterfinals of Saimoe are over. The results are as I would have voted so I guess the japanese voters and me think alike.

Kagami(Lucky Star) won from Tomoyo(Clannad)
with 1138 vs 790
Nagisa(Clannad) defeated Tamaki(Bamboo Blade)
with 953 vs 891
Tsukasa(Lucky Star) won from Fuuko(Clannad)
with 1049 vs 804
Hinagiku(Hayate no Gotoku) defeated Kirino(Bamboo Blade)
with 934 vs 750

With this the Bamboo Blade characters are out and only one from Clannad character is left.

Next matches are:
Kagami vs Nagisa

Tsukasa vs Hinagiku

With these matches there a big chance the Hiiragi sisters meet in the finals making it a match between twin sisters. If my ip range wouldn't be banned my vote would go to Kagami and to Hinagiku as she made it this far being the only character from Hayate no Gotoku which got this far.

While international saimoe got me disappointed in the people voting, the original saimoe is getting very interesting. Most of my favorites are still in the tournament ^^. Though this makes deciding on who to vote for much more harder...
