2chan Anime Saimoe 2009 Final Preview

So here we are: the 2009 2chan Anime Saimoe Tournament final, pitting Toradora!'s Taiga Aisaka against Yui Hirasawa of K-ON! This is proof that there are voters that are tired of the Saki characters stealing the show. This may deter that voter base, but those who want to see Aisaka win the East Asian Double and put her in the same company with Suiseiseki will be motivated by this.

Meanwhile, the K-ON! fan base got what they wanted. Actually, they would have preferred Mio Akiyama over this, but Yui is the next best thing.

Aisaka comes into this match having scored some notable victories over Azusa Nakano, Lynette Bishop, Maria, Isumi Saginomiya and Nodoka Haramura. Hirasawa has wins over Hinagiku Katsura, Minori Kushieda, Koromo Amae and Mihoko Fukuji to her credit.

Expect a large turnout of over 2,000 for this vote. I will be taking Taiga here to make history, but under 100 votes.

2chan Anime Saimoe 2009: Yui advances to the Final


October 16, 2009

The 200 2chan Anime Saimoe Tournament final has been set: Yui Hirasawa will take on Taiga Aisaka for the title.

The lead guitarist of Sakuragaoka High School's K-ON! (a.k.a. Hokago Tea Time on campus) held off a late push by Mihoko Fukuji of Saki to win, 1019-988.

"We are here to prevent Taiga Aisaka from getting the double," close friend/bassist Mio Akiyama said after the contest. "This one's for Yui."

"No matter what happens now," said Hirasawa after the match, "it will have been a proud achievement to have finished in the top two of this tournament."

Fukuji ends her 2chan Anime Saimoe run in fourth, while Nodoka Haramura finishes third. The final will take place October 17.
