Biribiri fans = cheaters

There has been some rumors that some Chinese dude has been multi-voting on Mikoto Misaka since Round 1. This explains the relatively- way too high vote count of hers. The same Chinese dude claims to have helped Saten in the previous year-hence her reaching Quarter Finals.

Multi-voting causes a lot of ruckus in J-Saimoe. In fact Nagi of HnG only managed to reach the finals because of multi-voting through buying lots of phones; something that wasn’t banned until after her match with Koromo in which it was discovered.

This is kinda sad news for me. To find out that my TOP character to win it all has way too many eager fans who have been cheating around. It has caused many sacrifices such as Victorique and Homura, who also are my favorites too. I just don’t know anymore.

Looking at the match today is even more depressing with Kanade barely keeping up to a Strike Witch.

Saimoe 2011 Block Finals Preview

1st Match: Mikoto vs. Lotte

Lotte is a top tier character, beating out Mio in the prelims and Kurisu in Round 3. Now she faces the toughest opponent yet in the form of Mikoto Misaka, who has been obliterating rounds like it was nothing after her Prelim slump with Homura (who she beated with quite a margin in round 1. An assassination attempt might occur but expect a mighty win by Biribiri here.

2nd Match: Tenshi vs. Erica

Its pretty clear on what’s gonna happen here. Tenshi has beaten witches badly before, I don’t think she can be stopped now.

3rd Match: Madoka vs. Elsie

Elsie has performed rather spectacularly since her Prelim debut which she placed first. Unfortunately she meets her god in this day. . .

4th Match: Ika-Musume vs. Yuno

Yuno has put Hidamari Sketch in the books and she’s definitely done well, being the really old character that she is. A big invasion is to be expected in this round.

5th Match: Sayaka vs. Haqua

Haqua has a rather “god’s touch” in her, beating out Champion Azusa Nakano, and a favorite in the form of Ohana Matsumae. This round though she’s gonna face God’s faction and again I think her fate is very much sealed. . . or obliterated if you will.

6th Match: Mami vs. Hotogi

Hotogi has been blessed with vote tactics since her first round in the tournament, beating favorites like Cecilia of Infinite Stratos and A-Channel’s Yuuko who beated out Shana. But the vote tactics end today as Top-Seed Tomoe Yellow Ranger is here, who was probably involved in the vote tactics.

7th Match: Index vs. Kyouko

Index managed to defeat a champion candidate in the form of Kirino Kousaka. This day though she faces the Red Ranger who ranks higher than championship tier- God tier if you will. I see the match close though as Index would never lose without the fight; the thing she’s been doing since 2009.

8th Match: Kuroneko vs. Houki

Houki might’ve ousted Aria but I still don’t think its enough to beat one of the Resistance’s Leader, Kuroneko who has been spectacular since her Prelim debut. I don’t think there’s a challenge here.

My Fall Blogging Schedule

Well I finally decided on a schedule to follow now that I’ve seen Guilty Crown.

Monday: Fate/Zero

Tuesday: Ben-to

Wednesday: Chihayafuru

Friday/Saturday: Mawaru Penguindrum

Pop-uppers: Guilty Crown, BLEACH

Mondays mean Fate/Zero to me. So far, its the anime I’ve replayed a bit too much this season and its only been two episodes. Tuesdays are for Ben-to because I’get really hungry those days. Wednesday is for Chihayafuru and for anyone’s information this so far has the best showing this season; probably my favorite. Fridays/Saturdays are for more penguins as always (though I don’t think I’ll blog it today). I thought about adding Guilty Crown too but that’s just too much work and my schedule is surprisingly comfortable so I don’t wanna ruin that. But I’ll definitely pop a few posts of GC if there’s an awesome episode. Oh yeah, Bleach suddenly started caring about production quality so I’m definitely up for a few posts (I don’t think Bleach is the best anime EVAR but with episodes like this week’s or the one before, its very tempting to say its one of my favorite anime though I do know I’ll be bit in the back pretty much soon since they might be blowing budgets for this.)

What I’m not going to blog:

Persona 4: Hell no.

Bakuman 2: Just because its good now doesn’t mean its gonna be good later.

Ika Musume 2: I was kinda tempted to blog this but it coincides with Chihayafuru so. . .

HUNTER X HUNTER: I’m enjoying this but I don’t wanna blog it.

I don’t have many friends: Might turn into something I’ll hate so PASS.

Mirai Nikki: I loved the first episode but it coincides with Fate/Zero and Ben-to so no.

Others: No more time.

I don’t have many friends is. . .

Weirdly entertaining.

It started with a really nice “I want to have friends” talk with the two MC’s and the nit went off to club making then some sort of boob bickering followed by a new rivalry in a span of 20+ minutes.

The bickering reminds me of Oreimo, though in Oreimo its mostly very relatable Anime-topics while here its. . . boob jokes and shit. The entertainment is there though so might as well eat it all up.

Btw Denpa Onna pulled of the Buriki designs much much much better.

Bleach getting better?

You know what I gave up a long time ago that Bleach can produce something that doesn’t have to be copypasted from the manga consistently. Well here I am now taking it back as I see the anime being tremendously done. For once there is attention to character detail. For once there is an artistic direction. FOR ONCE there’s more direction without blowing budgets off.

I just hope this continues. Even though I’m not a big fan of the Xcution arc, seeing this just makes me smile.
