Since both Haruhi and Eruruu ended up in a draw, the two will advance to Round 3. So instead of a Top 32 contest, we’ll have a Top 33 — a first in Saimoe history. The last time two contestants ended up in a tie was on August 8th, 2007. Evangeline and Shana...

Well Nagi sure enjoyed an easy ride to victory. For today’s matches, there are Saki characters in each of the following groups. A mahjong sweep is very much imminent.

Look at Captain just dominate her group as if it was nothing. Very satisfied to see Ushio win. For today’s matches, I’ll be throwing in my support for Saki, although Yumi would be nice to have advance as well. Full results after the jumpGroup G-3...

Interesting how MM could’ve beaten Haruhi. Good to see Ritsu advance though. But seriously, what is up with Yuki coming in dead last in her group? Well anyway, seeing the next set of matches, Ushio has to win this round. I mean for her not to would...

Congrats to Eva and Biribiri. Next set of matches, I want to see Shiho win but have to face reality. Meh, I just have to believe! Oh, and there’s also some girl named Haruhi up next. C’mon Ritsu!

So just when you think K-ON was having a bad Saimoe year, two characters from the series advance on the same day. Unfortunately Index had to lose in the first round. Maybe if all those votes for Kaori went to her instead nevermind. Azunyan is just as nice. And Taiga...

Saimoe veteran Hinagiku, with a total of 870, has earned the most 1st round votes this far in the main tournament. So congrats to her and her fans. K-ON finally has someone to represent their campaign as Yui advances to the next round — the first from that...

Congrats to Tomoyo, even with the low voter turnout. Though I’m a bit saddened by Shiki’s loss. Anyway I’m looking at the next set of matches, and I notice Yui there in what has to be an easy win for her, right? If not I’ll be at a complete...

No surprises here. For the next match, I was tied between Mugi and Becky, but I think I’ll go with Mugi just because she doesn’t get enough love as the others from K-ON.

That’s being rather generous and giving Riannon the benefit of a doubt and assuming that a lack of a personality...

Having got a PS3, I chose the Blu-Ray version (priced 8,192 yen, quite steep if you hear me): as I preordered it soon enough, I got the first presse edition, which, according to CDJapan, was comprised...

Thank god Guin Saga is doing a good job this time. Its individual ingredients aren’t that impressive, but together they form a very capable series...
