Orz. If that's what in your mind, I wouldn't provide further assistance.

Come on. Think big. Negima alone has 31+4 girls (and that's anime only) plus two shouta. The original SaiMoe 2005 lasted THREE MONTHS. We don't need ours to be that big, but only 16...there's no need for nomination then. Anime dazed


Ok, I'll go for 32 then. I just wasn't thinking that big since not many people were suggesting anything. I'll try to think of some more myself.

How about Nyuu from Elfen Lied, not Lucy though! God help us all not Lucy. A good reason for Nyuu is that she's such a dramatic change from Lucy who's a mass murder and doesn't trust anyone, where as Nyuu is literaly mentaly retarted and couldn't harm anyone if she wanted too.

I'll be back with more nominees later.

...and Hazuki from Tsukuyomi ~ Moon Phase of which I believe someone already suggested? And what about Shana from Shakugan no Shana. There are times where she's moe when she's eating melon bread (though there are other times where she's more loli Rolling Eyes ).

Let me add a few more of some anime that I've seen. It's nothing compared to your list but it's at least some:

Pita Ten
Misha
Shia
Koboshi Uematsu


Nurse Witch Komugi
Komugi Nakahara

Galaxy Angel
Milfeulle Sakuraba
Mint Blancmanche


Popotan
Mi

I wish we were able to include Video game characters. Lately a lot of moe characters have been showing up in a bunch of RPG's I've been playing. I guess we can't include them though.

I was wondering why you haven't nominated them in your previous post, then I forgot to ask (I was half asleep... Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop ).

Anime which were adapted from dating sim / galgames usually have quite a few (four or more) moe characters waiting in the line. Each character has a different sub-genre of moe. Examples: ToHeart, Tsukihime, and KimiNozo.

I counted a total of 111 nominees (there's more but I don't know how many moe characters Sister Princess and Ichigo Mashimaro have). I need to figure out the seeds. Chii, I think, will be one of the strongest contenders so I'll make her a seed. Don't know what other contenders to make seeds though.

Basically all 12 sisters in SisPri are moe in different ways, but Hinako and Aria are even more adorable due to their youger age and more childish behavior. As for Ichgo Mashimaro, although all four younger girls are cute, Matsuri (nekomimi, glasses, crybaby, worrywat) is the most moe one, followed closely by Ana (blond and sexy). While Chika is more serious, Miu is an annoying brat (in a cute way, though).

See if we can gather a bit more than 128 (2^7) contestants. It would make grouping much easier.

Oh, I forgot to nominate Yuzuyu from Aishiteruze Baby. She is, simply put, the most adorable anime character I've ever seen.

Wait me couple hours. I'll put up pictures of top 32 and top 16 of SaiMoe 2005, plus Most Favorite Heroine of 2002 by NewType. Those should have the priority to receive seed status, if necessary.

Any nominator other than us four?

That's a LONG list - and more than 128.

May I suggest that we group the characters in eight more-or-less equally-sized groups, each group to include a more-or-less equal number of top-seeded characters, then arrange a vote for each group?

The top eight characters from each separate group would then go on to a final elimination-type tournament of 64 characters, in 6 rounds.

How many do we have now? I've lost count. Anime dazed If we have 128-191, we'll have the first round with 2-3 contestants; if we have 192-255, we'll have the first round with 3-4 contestants; if we have more than 256 (don't really think so), we'll need an additional round.

Here are pictures I've mentioned: top 32 of SaiMoe 2005 and top 24 and 25th-100th heroines of NewType 2002. See how many can you identify with. Wink

(EDIT: Links removed. PM me if you really need them)

Note: I'm not sure about the legality of putting those pictures on the web so I'll probably remove the link in 24 hours.

Reminds me an easier way to look up for candidates: characters voiced by seiyuu like Mamiko Noto, Ai Shimizu, Mai Nakahara, Masayo Kurata, Saeko Chiba, Ai Nonaka, and Tomoko Kawakami (Yura Onoda, mmm, yummy...), are often moe characters.

To abunai: speaking of Ai Shimizu, have you checked out that lucky bastard Yuushin "U-sin" Ishizaki?

Adding...

Hikaru Shiina
Tsubasa Shiina


Green Green
Sanae Minami
Midori Chitose
?? I can't say, she pissed me off the second I saw her...literally. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop I think she's supposed to be though.
Futaba Kutsuki(I believe she fits in the tsundere mold)

Kokoro Library
Kokoro

Midori no Hibi
Midori Kasugano

Piano
Miu Nomura

Strawberry Eggs
Fuko Kuzuha

I don't think any of those have been mentioned. I'm not as confident about my "moe sensors" so feel free to fix any you know don't qualify.

Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga of Azumanga Daioh.

AzuDai is pretty much "required material" for anyone who is seriously interested in anime, because it is such an influential anime. However, I don't really see "Osaka" as moe, even though I know that some people do.

About the same here. It comes back in fits and starts, but I'm pretty useless at serious coding, these days, even though I used to be an old-school programmer. I started out programming in COBOL and FORTRAN, for Finagle's sake!

"Often" != "always", but that's a handy rule-of-thumb.

Mm-hmm. Lucky fellow. Now, if it had been Itou Misaki, I'd have personally gone to Japan and iced him, out of envy.

Well, that would be a disadvantage to the real "moe shows" like Negima or Gokujou Seitokai. While I see your point, I don't think we should do that.

The A-team! Yes, we need these.

I don't really see Himeko as moe, though she is my favourite character - she completely steals the show. Hell, even my sons are running around saying "Ma-ho!" all the time. Smile

Azumanga Daioh
Chiyo-chan

Another character that I don't find very moe, though it is obvious that she fits the bill.

I think the point was made earlier that moe is hard to pin down. Your guess may well be as good as mine.
