So yeah. Minami Kana beat Mio in this year's Saimoe. I'm happy with the result, but seriously, who would have predicted that? My guess...a lot of people realized that Mio is hands down one of the most popular characters this year and decided to vote against her to give their own favorites a fucking chance. Minami-ke is ridiculously popular, but beating out Mio from a show that just ended a month ago is insane.

The main problem I have with Saimoe is the insane amount of repeat appearances we see every year. This will be the third year in a row of Lucky Star, since the first season qualified for two years because it went from April to September, and this year the OVA qualifies. Imo, you should get one appearance per season, any more is just dumb.

An interesting observation, the two most represented voice actors by far are kugimiya rie and mamiko noto, pretty much my 2 favorite.　This year's brackets are loaded though with random OVA's and second seasons letting in a ridiculous amount of old names. Lucky Star, Clannad, Hayate no Gotoku, Higurashi, Haruhi, Zero no Tsukaima, School Rumble, Minami-ke, (hidamari sketch, though I didn't really like it) not to even mention all the new shows this season. Even ancient anime like Evangelion are in the mix.

Seriously, the only shows missing that could have made this year bigger would have been Rozen Maiden and Nanoha (both seriously needing sequels anyways). I'll be rooting for Kotomi and Katagiri Yuuhi, but there are so many good characters that I'll probably be happy with most of the likely results to actually win the stupid thing.
 
Fate and Nanoha everytime, Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura i vote for and Mei from Clannad, after that it's whether i like someone over someone else.
 
Pretty much its a stupid internet popularity contest done on 2ch every year where a bunch of otaku try to decide which anime character was the most moe that year. It is in general, utterly dominated by lolis and characters with rabid fanbases, and most of all, lolis with rabid fanbases. Seriously, last year Hinagiku, Tomoyo, Nagisa, and Fuuko all made top 8, and top 2 were kagami and tsukasa (which is really lame because although Kagami is awesome, Tsukasa only beat Hinagiku because a lot of people wanted to watch Kagami destroy Tsukasa).
 
and on top of this it doesn't matter at all? it's just a high end poll, just take it for fun. Hell i vote for Ryogi Shiki almost everytime although she isn't really Moe at all, just cuz
