This blog officially supports Chihiro... I think.
I didn’t give many coverages (or maybe none?) to Saimoe 2008.
However!
I got bored tonight and checks the numbers, from series perspective.
Here are the semi-final contenders:
- 4 characters from a series: Clannad (Ibuki Fuuko, Fujibayashi Kyou, Sakagami Tomoyo, Furukawa Nagisa)
- 3 characters from a series:
- Minami-ke (Minami Haruka, Minami Kana, Minami Chiaki)
- Lucky Star (Izumi Konata, Hiiragi Kagami, Hiiragi Tsukasa)
- 2 characters from a series:
- Seto no Hanayome (Seto San, Edomae Luna)
- Higurashi Kai (Hanyuu, Ryuugu Rena)
- Hidamari Sketch (Hiro, Miyako)
- Hayate no Gotoku! (Sanzenin Nagi, Katsura Hinagiku)
- Nanoha StrikerS (Takamachi Nanoha, Yagami Hayate)
- Bamboo Blade (Chiba Kirino, Kawazoe Tamaki)
- 1 character from a series:
- To Love-Ru (Yuuki Mikan)
- Shugo Chara! (Hinamori Amu)
- Shakugan no Shana (Shana)
- Question Fairy (Hatena Yousei)
- sola (Morimiya Aono)
- ARIA (Mizunashi Akari)
- ef – a tale of memories (Shindou Chihiro)
- true tears (Isurugi Noe)
- Nagasarete Airantou (Suzu)
- Sky Girls (Ichijou Eika)
Striked names mean defeated.
Clannad, as expected, going strong by having 4 (freakin four) characters (heroines) survived up to semi-final. I didn’t expect Bamboo Blade to be this powerful though o_o Add the fact that Luna was defeated by Kirino. San losing doesn’t help either though (which results in RIP Seto no Hanayome – in one day I may add).
And Question Fairy… from what I can find, it is an anime which come from a DVD (education one, I think). Talk about irony (NSFW).
