The Rundown: Saimoe 2007 Third Round

The Rundown: Saimoe 2007 Third Round

As of 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, there are less than 8 hours remaining until the polls reopen, but here is a heads-up on who will face who, and when.

To cut to the chase, as I am still reeling from another delicious episode cocktail of Murder Princes mixed with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei splashed with Lovely Complex and Gurren Lagann and some live-action Bambino on the side, all chased down with some Red Hot Chili Peppers mash-ups, we are now down to 32 candidates for the title of Saimoe 2007 champion (in the female division, the male division defending champ currently is Itsuki Koizumi and voting for that won’t start until next year), and the heat is turned up several degrees centigrade.
