Great to see Anime Saimoe Tournament starting up again for the year. I'm hoping I can get some voting codes so I can actually vote this year.

The article says it's the 10th anniversary, but I think it's only the 9th anniversary but 10th tournament since the first tournament was in 2002.

Considering the diversity of the shows this past year, this could be an interesting Tournament.

I will be supporting Homura, btw. Now to figure out a way to be able to vote(Proxy bans are gonna be a factor again this year, it seems)... Rolling Eyes

Moe -- serious business.

//I don't know why we even bother. It's going to be a Madoka sweep.

Madoka characters will do very good atleast top 3 if not win it.

Some of these nominees are just awful.

Jennifer Satou @ C
Hidemi Yomoda @ C
Two C nominations and no Msyu?

Sanko @ Fractale
Who the hell was she? Why would you choose the least memorable character?

Kuiaran @ Gosick
Again... Who the hell is this?

English teacher @ Highschool Of The Dead
Did you just pick a character with no name?

Mika Saeki @ K-On!
Fuko Takahashi @ K-On!
Azusa won last year. Did she suddenly become not moe enough to qualify?

Spokesman @ Mobile Suit Gundam 00
WHAT?!

Cheerleader club president @ Moshidora
...

The female member of the Giant Squad @ One Piece
I'm running out of things to say at this point.

Gisela @ Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Is this one of the witches? Why? It's not even Charlotte. How can this be the only Madoka nominee?

Junko Yoshida @ Rainbow
Did they seriously just pick a character from Rainbow?

I assume the polls got trolled... I can only assume.

This is only the first of 16 groups in the preliminary round. There are a LOT more characters than what you have listed.

Saigar. It died a long time ago(Due to trolling).Besides, if you don't like how one Saimoe contest is run, there are two others run at about this time as well, so diversity can be a good thing.

All characters are eligible, including cameos, characters with no names, etc... This is only the first of 16 prelim groups and are randomly organized. A number of the characters you mentioned come much later.

I thought the term "moe" actually had some kind of meaning, but if people are nominating Gisela from Madoka, I guess being "moe" doesn't even imply femininity.

Darn it, then. I missed my chance to nominate Naruto's Sasuke, Daru from Stein's;Gate, and the fort from Ano Hi Mita Hana.

Joys Chansey?...anyway
For group one i cheer for yui from Angel Beats, and for group 2 I cheer for eucliwood from Kore wa Zombie, but where is Menma from ano hana, she's the only person i looked for, i guess they thought it woldnt be fair since she'd win hands down xD, also when are the final 16 announced, and where can i see them?

Edit: "Girl seen asleep in class with eyes drawn on her eyelids @ Detective Opera Milky Holmes" LOL they really DO put every girl and female like character in this, except MENMA!!!
