2chan Anime Saimoe 2009 Semifinals Preview

So, with hours to go before the semis, I wil provide my preview of these 2chan Anime Saimoe 2009 crackers of clashes. You can vote on this by going to www.animesaimoe.org.

Strawberries? Or Oranges? Flat? Or Fat? Small? Or Big? Kendo? Or Mahjong? These are choice we as votes on 2chan must deal with. Never mind that we have to take into consideration who the survivors have defeated, which factions are making the push, and who does not have what it takes to win the crown.

Taiga Aisaka is someone that has already been at the top. In the Korea Anizone Best Moe tournament, she disposed of Kagami Hiiragi by a mere three votes to clinch her first championship. The Japanese bloc of voters supported Taiga in this instance, and they are looking to make her the first character since Suiseiseki to win the East Asian Double.

Nodoka Haramura, however, is a different case. Endowed to the point where her bust would make for a satisfying pillow for anybody, the mahjong superstar has made a habit of dismissing those with A-cups left and right. Case in point: her victory over Nagi Sanzen'in in the Group H final.

But Nodoka's charm outside of her bust may be a compelling reason to vote Haramura through. But with Taiga's Korea victory and continuing battles in the ISML, the push for the double continues.

Hello, hello, hello; we sure weren't expecting this. Or were we? It's the Captain vs. the Retard! No, that's not right. How about this: it's Hisa Takei's blonde uke b**** vs. Azunyan's Obsessed Master with the Gitah! No, no, that's not right either. A-ha! I got it. Excuse me while I clear my throat while continuing. Ahem.

Mihoko Fukuji vs. Yui Hirasawa is an intriguing match worth looking at. Hirasawa will come into this contest with seemingly meritorious victories over Hinagiku Katsura and Minori Kushieda, as well as a chance to get payback for Fukuji's win over Ritsu Tainaka in Round 3.

The bookies are looking at Fukuji at the underdog in this semi, and with good reason. Aside from her win over Tainaka, Fukuji's only big win came against Mikoto Misaka. Her win over Eruruu was a walk-over after the biggest threat in Yuki Nagato was stopped by the stalwart of Utawarerumono fame.

In a tournament like 2chan Anime Saimoe, one should never take their opponents lightly. But the outcome here should be predictable and expected. The lead guitarist from K-ON! will be in the final easily.
