[saimoe] Q3 result/next match preview

Quarterfinal 3

1. 1位　1473票　古手梨花＠ひぐらしのなく頃に(Furude Rika@Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
2. 2位　1191票　ルイズ・フランソワーズ・ル・ブラン・ド・ラ・ヴァリエール＠ゼロの使い魔((Loui se Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière@Zero no Tsukaima)

eventually Louise was not able to keep herself away from the defeat/Oyashiro sama curse after advancing this far. The power of Oyashiro-sama helps Rika to win this match, something that even Suiginto can't do :3 Whether the cause of her loss is because of revenge voters (most probably) or purely because of Rika' superior popularity, now we have 2 Higurashi girls in the semi final. Be it foreign or japan votes, Rika have more votes than Louise. In fact Louise never seems to be able to give much challenge to Rika in the first place.

Let's see whether the luck will be on their side, or the repeat of 2005 semi final will repeat (2RM dolls in the semi, yet both failed to win the tournament). Nevertheless next year we'll have Hanyu to entertain us

Next Match: Balsamic Vinegar vs Reiner Rubin. Tsukasa vs Shinku.


Both Shinku and Tsukasa are the only remaining survivor from their respective series. Shinku may be backed by a lot of RM faction votes, while Tsukasa who have more disadvantages may be affected by those who want to avenge Suiseiseki' loss, and possibly anti KyoAni faction. But still, Tsukasa is one of my favorite moe, so after the loss of her sister I'd definitely pick her in this match. Not to mention I see Tsukasa more moe than Shinku :3
Let's see how much fake votes can Tsukasa stand this time around. SUiseiseki failed to beat her even with 1400+ fake votes (even more than Nagato Yuki last year!), how about Shinku?

Korean Saimoe: finally, the final match has arrived tomorrow! Shana vs Hinagiku, , who will be crowned the new Korean Saimoe Queen!

Looking at the picture, we can clearly see that Hinagiku did better than Shana in her previous matches (in term of vote number), while Shana have knocked out more big names than Hinagiku. To tell the truth it's a very hard option for me, both of them are definitely top choices (though they re not really my favorite. I vote for Shana (for obvious reason)
I'm quite surprised to see that this match runs for 2 days, so expect a lot more votes than usual.
