Somewhat surprised that Momo managed to beat Ui since K-ON!! is quite popular at the moment and it's been at least a year since Saki was on tv.

But those Japanese otaku do love Stealth Momo~su, so I'm not too shocked. It was close after all.

Not even Ui could get pass Stealth Momo. Sad

Though I prefer Momo still; she still has her girlfriend to think of! Surprised

I'm guessing there's a bit of psychology at work here. Probably the cute underdogs will be favored, as most people who would have a reason to vote probably empathize with a character like Momo. Hardly noticed by anybody and would otherwise fade away without a little attention, much like a lot of otakus and NEETs.

Or I could be full of crap and it's just random chance that a particular character resonates with people.

I'm never voting in Saimoe again because every character I want to win gets eliminated.

From a moe standpoint, that's pretty much a foregone conclusion.

And Mio, Asuza and Mugi come out on top!

Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Mugi and Azusa.......Let's win this, Team K-ON!

Also, I hope Kanade get screwed in this tourny. I don't find her cute at all.

Fate always beat Saber. Fate and Nanoha two of the most popular characters in those voting.
