Saimoe Second Round: Groups C and D

The Bedlam rolls on with its Saimoe 2007 coverage with the second round in Groups C and D.

Group C

Round C1

1. Suzu - Nagasarete Airantou 198
2. Lunar Edomae -Seto no Hanayome 899
3. Hinagiku Katsura -Hayate no Gotoku 870

Winner - Lunar Edomae

Biggest upset of the tournament so far. The Hayate harem nation is crying foul at this point, while the Hanayome team is popping the confetti.

Round C2-

1. Chika Ito -Ichigo Mashimaro 574
2. Vivio -Nanoha Strikers 197
3. Nanoha Takamachi- Nanoha Strikers 842

Winner – Never missing a beat, Nanoha Takamachi rolls on, setting up a big clash between idol sensation and the White Devil of the TSAB.

Round C3-

1. Caro Ru Lushe-Nanoha Strikers 588
2. Miyako -Hidamari Sketch 657
3. Makoto Sawatari(The “auuuu” one)-Kanon 458

Winner – Miyako.

Danger! Danger! The Hidamari heavy hitters are coming through.

Round C4-

1. Ai -ARIA The NATURAL 193
2. Vita-Nanoha Strikers 778
3. Matsuri Shihō –Sola 760

Winner – Vita. Closest result in this group: 18 votes.

It will be Miyako vs. Vita for a spot in the Group C final. Uh-oh. Could this be a Nanoha vs. Vita Group C final!? Stay tuned…

Group D

Round D1-

1. Yuno -Hidamari Sketch 784
2. Miu Matsuoka -Ichigo Mashimaro 379
3. Barasuishou-Rozen Maiden 500

Winner – You know who. [pun intended]

We noted on the Bedlam that one should keep an eye on the heavy hitters from Hidamari Sketch, and here’s more proof why.

Round D2-

1. Akiko Minase-Kanon 382
2. Hayate Yagami -Nanoha Strikers 931
3. Kaori Misaka -Kanon 173

Winner – Hayate Yagami. Biggest second-round winning margin in this group.

Round D3-

1. Shiori Misaka -Kanon 583
2. Rena Ryuuguu -Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 825
3. Yue Ayase -Negima!? 319

Winner – Rena Ryuuguu. And the franchise yanderekko from Higurashi (at least in my book) rolls on.

Round D4-

1. Mugi Asai –Hitohira 324
2. Kagami Hiiragi-Lucky Star 1155
3. Hiro-Hidamari Sketch 363

Winner- Kagami Hiiragi. Interesting to note that she had to survive a showdown with Maria from Hayate the Combat Butler just to get to this round. This time, the voters award her courage, and this wasn’t even close. Already battle-tested, the road doesn’t get any easier, with Rena Ryuuguu from Higurashi up next, setting up a nice Group D semifinal!

Groups E and F up next…
