Saimoe Japan 2012 – Round 2, Groups A + B Results
Plus an update for MetaMoe, as usual!~
No surprises here! Saki absolutely destroyed Illya and Nako, despite putting up a good fight. Kobato on the other hand had a much closer battle against Working’s Mahiru. Remon unfortunately sizzled, though I’m really glad to see that she made it this far. (GOODBYE SWEET TROLL!) Saki vs. Kobato should be an interesting showdown, and the winner will come down to who has the biggest support, either the Saki fans or the anti-saki fans!
Saki’s friend Yuuki similarly destroyed her opponents, who were two of the weaker competitors anyway. The Koromo vs. Miki match was an incredibly close one. Koromo pulled away towards the end of the match netting her the win. This is a big loss for the iMAS supporters … okay not really, there are still a ton of iMAS girls to pick up the pieces left by Mikimiki. When it comes to the eventual Yuuki vs. Koromo match I’d give it to Koromo, but Yuuki’s taco powers might prove too strong!
This is when matches get so depressing! Three of my favorite characters facing off, but only one making it through. This time Kugimiya Rie proved the strongest being only but a small factor in getting Iori the win. (Yuka<3, Shinobu<3) On the other sides of things Toki has not even the slightest opposition against two lower tier characters. Toki was just too much to handle. Iori vs. Toki should be quite the showdown as iMAS and Saki will be facing off once again. I’ll be silently rooting for both. ;__;
AKARINNNNN~ Akari shows herself as a threat once again, this time taking out former champion Azusa with ease. Mei also had the upper hand against her opponents, though Yozora did have a good amount of support it just wasn’t enough. Mei vs. Akari is one of the matches I’m most impatient for! It’ll be one girl who is naturally invisible taking on another girl who was forced to be invisible. DUEL OF INVISIBILITY.
PREDICTION: SAKI MIYANAGA PREDICTION: KOROMO AMAE

Ahaha a battle of invisibility! I never even thought of that before.
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
It’s hard to think of something that can’t be seen. Perhaps the match is just a figment of our imaginations. /whuuut
POWUH: Metanorn Lover with 205 comments
AGHHH SUCH INTENSE BATTLES!!!
Whoa 3 Saki girls in one bracket 0-0..
Akari really did take out Azusa like she was nothing, though I’ll be rooting for Mei even though I don’t think she’ll win >.>. Though for that bracket entirely, I’ll be rooting for Iori
Though the competition is getting really fierce!!! I really can’t wait to see the next results! DX
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
It’s only going to get more intense, we must prepare ourselves for the worst! XD
It’s hard to root for just one girl in that bracket, they’re all so lovable. ;__; Iori’s chances seem really good, with both anti-Saki and iMAS support behind her.
POWUH: 400-499 with 488 comments
Noooo, Miki ;o;
Hmmm, Saki is having such a good showing. It almost makes me want to check out the show. But I don’t really like mahjong, so I doubt the power of moe can win.
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
It’s really a great show if you have the time to watch both seasons, but if mahjong isn’t something you’re entirely into then I guess it wouldn’t be that enjoyable. Admittedly, there is more to it then JUST mahjong. ;D
POWUH: 400-499 with 488 comments
I’m sure there is more to Saki than mahjong, but I really find mahjong to be boring (I don’t really enjoy gambling games).
And I still have a huge backlog ( ￣。￣) ～♪
Like four seasons of Natsume.

Aargh!! What.. the.. hell.. is.. this?! Shinobu got eliminated?! (hisses) That’s just not right. She’s too cute and haughty. She was the one I had my highest hopes on to survive. I thought she’d go the distance. Man, this competition is brutal.
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
I’m still sad over Shinobu. I will miss her, and her donuts. ;__; On the bright side, you still have a zombie and a vampire!
POWUH: Meta Team and Vampire Lover with 3187 comments
Yes, we’ll all mourn the loss of the loli Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade and her love for donuts. Rea and Yuki are going to have big shoes to fill in now that Shinobu and the other heavy hitters are gone. It’s still too painful to accept right now.
What also shocks me is that Kobato Hasegawa is still in the clear. How can that be?!
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
Kobato has the Hanazawa virus on her side, inflicting us all with a serious case of moe-session. kukuku
POWUH: Meta Team and Vampire Lover with 3187 comments
Having the Hanazawa virus on her side is an unfair advantage. Foul!! I say, foul!! Just kidding. Kobato is alright in my book. Ku Ku Ku.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Fresh Meat with 1848 comments
So Natsuiro Kiseki entirely eliminated now? At least someone I picked got out of the first round.
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
Unfortunately so. They were stronger than I expected though. Everything comes down to Ai now, fufufu. ;D
POWUH: 800-899 and Pirate King with 834 comments
I’m not too confident in my remaining picks winning another round. Either of those 2 (Sherlock, Senjou) winning would be a pleasant surprise.
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
If Sherlock can take out Asuha, maybe her Astarotte’s Toy domination will continue. (… maybe. XD)
Senjougahara is actually in a pretty good position, imo Aria shouldn’t be too hard to defeat considering the popularity of Bake/Nise. Her real trouble will come in R3 (if she wins) having to face one of those popular Sakis.
POWUH: 400-499 with 487 comments
HO BOY The competition quite brutal lately….
Not you too Yuka!!
Hope S;G tsuntsun can at least make it for another round…
@Highway, Karakuri Um… Hi?
POWUH: Meta Resident and Megane-chan with 1940 comments
….I don’t know how to tell you this, but Kurisu was eliminated as well today.
POWUH: 400-499 with 487 comments
*Snatch Kurisu-tina pudding*
Oh well. Damn it.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Megane-chan with 1940 comments
Don’t worry, I’m sure Highway and I will be joining you soon. xD
POWUH: 400-499 with 488 comments
I won’t be that far behind! I’m surprised Kanna made it as far as she did. And I don’t really have much confidence in Kuroyukihime making it to the top 8.
I don’t recognize your last choice Karakuri… though I feel I should know the character.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Megane-chan with 1940 comments
Tsukihi from Nisemonogatari?
POWUH: 400-499 with 488 comments
Oh, haha. I was thinking Ririchiyo from Inu x Boku SS but I saw she already had a different pic in the banners, so I was stumped.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Fresh Meat with 1848 comments
Should I do a happy dance that I wasn’t the very first person totally eliminated?
Kara and I win for worst first round record, tho.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Megane-chan with 1940 comments
Hell yeah! We should have our own losers party!
POWUH: 400-499 with 487 comments
+1 this.
POWUH: 600-699 and Horror Expert with 688 comments
Oh noez! Our first casualty. Sorry D-LaN. ;__; I’m so shocked that Kurisu lost.
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 3845 comments
No picks eliminated yet? Could Fosh be…the all-knowing God of moe?!?!
POWUH: 400-499 with 487 comments
Just what IS Fosh lol??
POWUH: Meta Team and Vampire Lover with 3187 comments
No way!! Impossible!! How did he get past all the land mines in this contest?! There must be a cheat sheet somewhere. I’m impressed and envious at the same time.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 5755 comments
wuhahahha who knows…who knows…maybe I have moe super powers <3
POWUH: Meta Resident and Fresh Meat with 1848 comments
Well, yeah, look at his avatar compared to the rest of us. There’s no way Houtarou Oreki is going to win a moe contest. And hell, BB’s doesn’t even have any color!
POWUH: Meta Team and Vampire Lover with 3187 comments
Unfortunately, our avatars weren’t chosen or designed for moe. Especially at these dangerous levels of it. They were never meant for it. We have a strong chance of success when we’re put into our natural environment. We now realize we’re at a huge disadvantage here. So, for now, retreat!!!
POWUH: Meta Resident and Megane-chan with 1940 comments
…Holy crap. I never use avatars for their moe levels either. I was destined to lose.
POWUH: 400-499 with 487 comments
And I don’t think a introverted glasses dude is going to win any moe contest lol.
POWUH: Meta Team and Vampire Lover with 3187 comments
Or maybe you’ve hiding from us the fact that you’re a skilled expert in the field of moe. And Highway is right about your avatar being a clue. It was right in front of us and we never noticed. I guess one’s avatar defines their field of expertise.
POWUH: iLurker with 8 comments
Wow, I’m on my way to losing as well D:
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 4559 comments
So, Fosh is going to be the King of this contest? Any surprises on his moe levels?!
Um… NO! xD
