And not only that-- round three starts so epically, at least in my opinion. Yes, Minamike's smarmy, sarcastic imouto-chan, Chiaki Minami, took on a Strike Witch-- sisterly Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke --and won! Maybe she was pretending Minna was her sister Kana.

At the same time, Combat Butler Hayate's resident exorcist Isumi Saginomiya managed not to get lost, so she was there to fight Kannagi's heroine, Nagi-sama. I've heard word that Isumi may have distracted Nagi with a box of kittens, but in any case, Isumi won.

Tomorrow's Battles 9/22

  • In the YELLOW corner, Saki's Yuuki Kataoka, and in blue, Shugo Chara!'s Utau Hoshina! Much as I love Shugo Chara!, I rather expect Yuuki to take this one.


  • And in the OTHER yellow corner, Saki's Kana Ikeda is set to due battle with the green corner, CLANNAD's Fuuko Ibuki. This one might be a bit closer...but Saki is more current than CLANNAD. Hmm.

Your Turn!

I'm a bit surprised at Chiaki's win, although I love her dearly...how about you?

Oh no! Who should I root for?  Saki vs. Shugo Chara!  They're both like my children!  Tacos or Utau!?   
Well, from a purely "moe" standpoint, Utau has seriously tsundere tendencies, but Yuuki has the very rare "taco moe".  Utau can turn into and angel or a devil.... But Yuuki will clearly get totally naked in front of you if you bring her tacos.   
It's a toss up!

Isumi beat Nagi from Kannagi? Maybe there is some justice in this world after all...

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.
