SaiMoe: Can It Be Tomorrow Now?

The moe-battle rages on!

Today's battles are probably not terribly exciting to you, but TOMORROW's should be very interesting...data and battle card images via AnimeSaiMoe.org.

Today's Battles 9/24

 Seriously, WTF is that hair? Why would anyone DO that?

 Amu Hinamori (& Ran, Suu, and Miki)

To approximately two peoples' surprise, at least one of whom is my mother, Saki's Momoko Touyoko took home a victory today against CLANNAD's Kyou Fujibayashi. Key fans everywhere demand a recount-- all twelve of 'em. And I still don't get Momoko's hair.
 

And then I do a little victory dance, because Shugo Chara!'s Amu Hinamori TOTALLY KICKED KOMOE'S BUTT! I suppose it's not that much victory that a magical girl with four different potential transformative devices would kick the rear end of a pint-sized high school teacher from A Certain Magical Index, but hey, I'll take my victories where I can get 'em!
 

Tomorrow's Battles 9/25

 H! I! N! A! HINAGIKU!
 H! I! N! A! HINAGIKU!
 
 Azusa and Nagisa

  • Now, I'm pretty confident that Combat Butler Hayate's Hinagiku Katsura will beat K-On! lead Yui Hirasawa. But I'm so frequently wrong on this tournament that I'm still nervous for her! H! I! N! A! HINAGIKU!
  • Those twelve Key fans are getting ready to chew their fingernails off, because tomorrow we have K-On!'s popular pigtailed almost-but-not-quite catgirl Azusa Nakano versus CLANNAD's Nagisa Furukawa. Nagisa and Ushio Okazaki are the only CLANNAD girls left in the running, and Azusa is pretty popular...

Your Turn!

I'm gonna go have one of those super sparkly sprinkle cupcakes to celebrate Amu's victory. If you want to join the party, leave a comment!

It's official. The majority of people voting in this competition have no taste whatsoever.
 
Hinagiku better win. I'll be ticked if Azusa loses to the blob, but if Hinagiku loses to the retard, I'm giving up on Saimoe.

Well let hope that Hinagiku win tomorrow, so.
 
H! I! N! A! 
HINAGIKU!

@hipalbatross: Hayate is Overhyped? K-On is overhyped.
hipalbatrosson Sept. 24, 2009 at 12:23 p.m.
@HeeroYuy: I watched them both, just didnt see what was so good about it, I like parody and everything.  Just found K-on to be more entertaining.
Netstrykeon Sept. 25, 2009 at 1:06 a.m.
This is going to be WAR tomorrow!
 
(Go K-ON!)

Dig Deeper into Moe

Moe (pronounce moh-eh) is a Japanese slang term for something one likes, and within the anime realm is used to refer to characters who inspire a protective sort of love-- usually because the characters seem to need someone to take care of them.
