* Hisa Takei - Saki Episode of Side A - 224 (Winner)
Cthugha - Haiyore! Nyaruko-san - 272

what? Saki has to win every match so badly that even when they have less votes they still win?

I'd personally like to see Meat pull off the stunning upset, but at this point I'm pretty sure not even the anti-voters can prevent a Saki girl from winning it all. I'd be fine with the Koromo winning it, or really any of the girls besides Nodoka. She bothers me for some reason.

You realize Mami won last year right?

Anyway, this year is Saki domination, as expected. I'd like for Akarin, Toki, or Yuu to take it personally. Well, Hisa would be my first choice but she doesn't have a chance. Kodomo would be fine too. Pretty much like the person above the only Saki I don't want to win would be Nodoka.

I didn't really pay attention last year, to be honest.

Hisa is listed in the top 10 vote-getters with 334 votes; so the 224 above is probably a mistype.

Hisa's real vote total was 334. The match to look forward to is the B Block finals on October 17 (Japan time). Akari is likely the strongest non-Saki character while Toki is likely the strongest Saki character. The winner of this match has a great chance to take the whole tournament.

Also Group A is a fated rematch.

Nice to see that Shana and Louise still have some steam to keep moving a little more.

Anime Saimoe has been around far longer than ISML. In fact, ISML is the newest of bunch: Anime Saimoe, Korean Best Moe, Korean Super Best Moe, Chinese Saimoe, SaiGar all came before it.

After the last round, I've lost 1 of my remaining 6 block picks (Ririchiyo)
Groups B, C, D, and H are probably the matches to watch. B could very well decide who wins the tournament. If Toki wins, she'll probably win. If Akari wins, the Saki fanbase could very well crumble along with it.
C is mostly because Precure has never made it so far in the 9 years it has competed. Really curious to see how far Yayoi can keep on holding the flag
D is mostly because Hinata could be the wildcard of the tournament. After a god awful start in the main tournament by the Ro-Kyu-Bu! team, Hinata seems to constantly be the upset. Considering Shana barely escaped Airi and Hinata is undoubtedly stronger, I really want to see how she will fare against Louise. If anything, I would actually like to see Hinata, Shana, or Toki win the whole tournament at this point.
H is mostly because this is likely Shana's last year. Considering she barely escaped Airi (thanks to a final hour rush) and Sena continues to pull off last-minute wins, I want to see if Shana can continue living the dream, especially having backed her since 2006, which was effectively the peak of J-Saimoe. The image below explains the ridiculousness of her match with Airi:


And for anyone curious of the status of the current block final match (Saki vs. Koromo)...it seems Koromo is losing...badly.
