| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group E – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Mikan, Rika, Francesca, and Minori. 4 for 4, however a bit on the predictable side — just glad to see Rika’s sweet face again, にぱー☆. Looking at the next set of matches, I see former champion Kagamin and main Clannad heroine Nagisa. It’ll be interesting to see how they’ll... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group E – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Hinagiku, Yui, Ayumu, and Teru. 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... | | |
| 2:04pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group E – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Yami, Shimako, Tomoyo, and Miyuki. 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... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group D – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Elen, Amu, Koromo, and Hanyuu. Hurray for Hanyuu! What an impressive early show of support for her campaign. And Koromo managed to pull ahead of Izumi by just a measly two votes. (A major sigh of relief there.) Well believe it or not, K-ON is now 0-3 in this main tournament. Full results after... | | |
| 11:01am | Cute Japanese Girls and the Third Person | | | | One of the cuter -- or possibly creepier -- things that Japanese girls do is refer to themselves in the third person. A good example of this in anime is the character Fuko from Clannad After Story, who says "Fuko" in reference to herself despite disliking it when people treat her like a child, which... | | |
| 6:12pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 6 | | | | I'm sure we've all been told how it's better to catch measles when you're a child rather than face it when you're an adult, but in the world of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei that apparently isn't the only "disease" which you should prefer to face in your youth So begins episode six of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group D – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Komoe, Aisha, Sakuya, and Sanae. Glad to see Sanae advance. Although I wouldn’t have mind if Alice had won. Next match, Koromo must achieve victory! Full results after the jump Group D-2 Results:1位 336票 (Tsuku yomi Komoe @ To Aru Majutsu no Index)2位 312票 (Katagir i Yuuhi... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group D – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Karin, Alicia, Erica, and Mizuki. Due to all the Comiket releases and excitement over the weekend, I almost forgot to vote. Well today’s results may not seem all that surprising. But seeing Mari come in dead last in her group was disappointing. Don’t know why I thought the results... | | |
| 11:00am | Then: Making an Otaku Pilgrimage | | | | Since we were nearby, we stopped by Lake Kizaki, the area famous as the location of the Please Teacher and Please Twins anime series. Virtually every scene was based on a specific location in the town, or at various sites nearby, which had the effect of adding a layer of realism to the anime usually... | | |
| 7:14am | Exposed! Otaku Names Daughter “Kana” After Eroge |  | | | A married otaku fan of eroge classic Kana: Little Sister had some explaining to do after his wife found out that he had named their daughter “Kana,” after the girl from the game, not after some a character from classical literature as he had claimed… The man apparently harboured a great respect... | | |
| 1:12am | Starting Family Project | | | | The art is surprisingly good (the SCG has crap proportions though), and the horribly fake Chinese and the random sex is bothering me. I’m not just saying that the Chinese SOUNDS awful (because it does), but also that I found sentences that didn’t make sense (like “please tell... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group C – Day 3″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Mio, Kyon no imouto, Konoka, and Momoko. Another K-ON character is eliminated. Another Saki character advances. Saimoe now takes a break for 4 days. Full results after the jump Group C-3 Results:1位 488票 (Sakam oto Mio @ Strike Witches)2位 379票 (Yoshi no @ Minami-ke Okaeri)3位 190票 (Asakaz... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group C – Day 2″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Louise, Tsuruya-san, Kyou, and Kotomi. 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. Full results after the jump Group C-2 Results:1位 413票 (Louis... | | |
| 2:05pm | ｢Saimoe ‘09｣ “Group C – Day 1″ Block ~ 1st Round Results | | | | Winners: Hisa, Mion, Mika, and Megumi. Two Saki characters advance today. This year belongs to that series it seems.
