I was thinking last night on the way home that certain characters are pretty obvious selections for the list since they are actually adopted or taken under someone's wing in their series (invoking the 'protective' aspect of moe), like Alvis, Chii, Yotsuba (no anime yet, but we can hope..) etc.
Glad Alvis is on the list, though of some others lat night as well but gone out of my head again. |

I'm fine with a bulk of the seeds. I just have a few minor issues with some of the auto-seeded characters, due to the fact that this is an english board and that was a japanese tournament. Red should be pulled and blue should be placed in. Otherwise, I'm happy with the list.
Seeds: Air Kannabi-no-mikoto Misuzu Kamio Azumanga Daioh - AzuDai is popular, licensed and it seems lots of people like Osaka (I like Sakaki myself) Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga Bleach Orihime Inoue Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan Dokuro-chan Chobits Chii Comic Party series Aya Hasebe Fruits Basket Tohru Honda Fushigiboshi no Futagohime - 10 ratings, 29 seens...I just don't think it's popular enough Rain Gunslinger Girl Henrietta Last Exile Alvis E. Hamilton Love Hina Shinobu Maehara Mahoraba Asami Kurosaki Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Nanoha Takamachi Mai-HiME Akane Higurashi Mai Tokiha Midori Sugiura Natsuki Kuga Shizuru Fujino Maria-sama ga Miteru Shimako Toudou Negima Nodoka "Honya-chan" Miyazaki Setsuna Sakurazaki Ayaka Yukihiro Please Twins! Karen Onodera Rozen Maiden Shinku Souseiseki Suiseiseki Tomoe Kashiwaba - who? SaiKano Chise School Rumble Eri Sawachika Tenma Tsukamoto Yakumo Tsukamoto Tactics Youko Tsukuyomi ~ Moon Phase Hazuki Zoids Genesis - 0 ratings... Rei Mii That should end up with 32 seeds, instead of the 34 we currently have. |

I don't see "Osaka" as moe myself, but I agree that the very fact of her popularity will cause a lot of fans to vote for her, whether they grok moe or not. I agree, she should be a seed.
Again, I have to agree. Personally, I like the series - but I recognise that it's not very known outside Japan.
Tomoe-chan is the girl who spoiler[was Hina Ichigo's first medium, before Shinku defeated Hina Ichigo.] Trust me, she's very, very moe. I can't believe she didn't make an impression on you... All the same, I have to agree that she appears to be somewhat less known than the rest - and Rozen Maiden is already heavily represented. I have no objection to moving her out of seed status - and into the "dark horse" stable...
Again, I agree. The ratings (or lack thereof) speak for themselves.
32 seeds - 4 each in the 8 groups. So now we just need to have dormcat randomize the seeds and the regular nominees, then we're starting to be ready for round one. Waitaminute... is everyone done suggesting seeds? It seems to me that PantsGoblin didn't post any suggestions. Or is he happy with this revised list? - abunai |

Ah, I know her. She's cute and sweet, she's just not prominent enough for me. That's why I picked her out instead of a Mai-HiME girl or someone else I don't know. Also, only a very few characters make that moe feeling well up inside me.
Naw. If someone wants to nominate more that's fine. I was just listing it into a 32 seed preliminary set instead of a 200+ list of all characters. |

I just haven't been here for a while. I'm fine with the seeds, I just have two suggestions. Remove- Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Nanoha Takamachi Ranked #859 in popularity here. It's just not popular enough compared to the other ones. Add- Full Metal Panic! Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa Full Metal Panic! is ranked #15 in popularity. She should definately be added. Other than that I'm fine with them. |

You are gonna remove THE champion?  I agree with you adding Tessa, but Nanoha is lesser known at ANN only because the series has not been licensed and released in North America. The "popularity" you mentioned is only a visibility index. Ghost in the Shell (movie), Akira and DBZ rank #12, #13 and #14 in popularity, respectively, yet I don't remember there was any moe character in any one of them. Besides, being seeds means they can avoid the first round only. They still have to compete with winners of the first round afterwards.
P.S. While I'm on the most viewed ranking, I noticed that all of us have forgotten Rei Ayanami (...................... OTL ) |

Oh yeah, her. She's only one of the most well known characters in anime history, it doesn't matter
 . But was she really moe? I didn't think of her like that, but I never really went for her type of character, so I don't know.

I agree, the champion should stay. Maybe we can push out one of the lower moe Mai-HiME girls instead? They are well represented already. We also forgot the 1GO% girls...oh, wait, no I didn't.

I still think she should be removed, but I'm out numbered so I guess Akane from Mai Hime instead. |

Okay, so now we have 32 in SamuraiCDZ's list, while keeping Tomoe Kashiwaba, adding Tessa, and removing Akane Higurashi, results in 33 seeds. Who wants to de-nominate the last one? I'll begin to assign random numbering to others and draw a chart once the last one is de-nominated with at least one "seconded" post. Geez, this thread has been buried in just two days.

I vote to denominate Rozen Maiden's Souseiseki as a seed. I just can't feel protective about a girl who dresses up as a boy.
See, I'm not quite as perverted as some people would like to make me out... |

Sounds reasonable, if a bit prissy. Personally, I think tomboys are adorable.

Mmm, so did you say "aye" or "nay?" I could hardly tell. She reminded me Reni Milchstraße of Sakura Taisen, though. Both the champion and runner-up have been voted for denomination? Looks like Western fans do have different tastes from Japanese ones. |

I'd like to think Souseiseki got that far simply because of Rozen Maiden fans voting en bloc for any Rozen Maiden character. Suiseiseki is much more to my liking, it's the odd eyes being the other way around that makes all the difference She can be very tsundere though...

Actually I love Nanoha. You're assuming I would denominate her for personal tastes? How dare you . She's just not very popular on ANN, that's why I suggested to denominate her.
