Match Day 11 of the 2014 International Saimoe League Preliminaries concluded, and the stage is set for showdowns to determine the next eight in the main draw of the world's premier anime character competition.

In the hunt for a spot out of Nova Group 1 are Eru Chitanda (2943 votes), with wins over Ai Astin (1387 votes) and Kyouko Sakura (1334 votes); Chocolat (2287 votes), with wins over Yui Yuigahama (1877 votes) and Maki Nishikino (1054 votes); and Mikan Yuuki (2642 votes), with wins over Noire (1504 votes) and Kouko Kaga (1201 votes).

Scheduled to settle the score in Nova Group 2 are Karuta Roromiya (2702 votes), with easy wins over Tamako Kitashirakawa (1668 votes) and Celestia Ludenberg (997 votes); Charlotte Belew (2506 votes), with wins over Manaka Mukaidou (1355 votes) and Komari Koshigaya (1312 votes); and Tohka Yatogami (2890 votes), with wins over You Kasukabe (1285 votes) and Ouka Yuuouji (1252 votes).

It's time to put up in Nova Group 3 for Kurousagi (2641 votes) after wins over Ai Shindou (1609 votes) and Ai Fuyuumi (1142 votes); Renge Miyauchi (2339 votes) after victories over Neptune (1821 votes) and Gou Matsuoka (989 votes); and Mei Misaki (1942 votes) after wins over Natsume Tsuchimikado (1876 votes) and Himeko Inaba (1507 votes).

In Nova Group 4, look for a great battle between Yukino Yukinoshita (2501 votes), who defeated Noumi Kudryavka (1752 votes) and Asuka Kudou (1140 votes); Ririchiyo Shirakiin (2263 votes), who routed Nepgear (1690 votes) and Karen Kujou (1125 votes); and Sanae Dekomori (2842 votes), who defeated Yuno Gasai (1500 votes) and Sayaka Miki (1121 votes).

Nova Group 5 will have a nice finale as well, featuring Yuiko Kurugaya (2097 votes), who defeated Madoka Kaname (2008 votes) and Iona (1150 votes); Momo Velia Deviluke (2205), who took care of Furano Yukihira (1804 votes) and Hotaru Ichijou (1223 votes) and Touka Takanashi (2551 votes), who crushed Akatsuki (1573 votes) and Myucel Foaran (1374 votes).

In Nova Group 6, take your pick between Shiori Shiomiya (2650 votes), who blew past Cthugha (1778) and Takao (875 votes); Laura Bodewig (2450 votes), who defeated Masaki Shokuhou and Tomoko Kuroki (950 votes); and Suguha Kirigaya (2637 votes), who rolled past Leticia Draculair (1751 votes) and Komari Kamikita (1108 votes).

Nova Group 7 might be a two-horse race between Nyarlathotep (2539 votes), who defeated Suzuka Dairenji (1441 votes) and Kyouko Kirigiri (1428 votes), and Origami Tobiiichi (2318 votes), who trounced Yukina Himeragi (1672 votes) and Masuzu Natsukawa (1277 votes) but don't count out Mitsuki Nase (2476 votes), who picked up wins over Frenda Seivelun (1993 votes) and Ryuuko Matoi (912 votes).

Finally in Nova Group 8, there is a possibility that someone will move up in Yui (2403 votes), who demolished Mikasa Ackerman (1557 votes) and Chisaki Hiradaira (1537 votes), or Rin Natsume (2129 votes), who defeated Frey (2035 votes) and Kazusa Touma (934 votes), but there is also a chance that Haqua du Lot Herminium (2402 votes) will finally get the chance she wanted, after wins over Emi Yusa (1447 votes) and Morgiana (1352 votes).

ISML 2014: Chase for the next few spots narrows down

ISML 2014: Chase for the next few spots narrows down

By Jo-Ryan Salazar
March 5, 2014

Match Day 10 of the 2014 International Saimoe League Preliminaries took place, with the usual suspects prevailing in the Nova Division. In Nova Group 1, Chocolat was a big winner (3047 votes), beating out Kyouko Sakura (2005 votes) and Kouko Kaga (1596 votes). Eru Chitanda (3693 votes) is hoping for a promotion to Stella rank after coming out on top over Noire (1821 votes) and Maki Nishikino (1134 votes). Mikan Yuuki (3308 votes) is hoping that this will be the year she finally goes through after defeating Yui Yuigahama (1815 votes) and Ai Astin (1554 votes), but it will not be easy.

Karuta Roromiya (2888 votes) won her Group 2 match with victories over Ouka Yuuouji (2306 votes) and Komari Koshigaya (1277 votes). Charlotte Belew (2686 votes) also was victorious with wins over Tamako Kitashirakawa (1943 votes) and You Kasukabe (1848 votes). The prohibitive favorite to win the Group, however, is Touka Yatogami, winning 4078 votes to defeat Manaka Mukaidou (1477 votes) and Celestia Ludenberg (1119 votes).

Renge Miyauchi was victorious in Nova Group 3, beating out Ai Shindou (2189 votes) and Himeko Inaba (1802 votes). Mei Misaki (2457 votes) was another big winner, defeating Ai Fuyuumi (2018 votes) and Neptune (2007 votes). Kurousagi (3490 votes) remains the favorite to win the group after defeating Natsume Tsuchimikado (1719 votes) and Gou Matsuoka (1094 votes).

Nova Group 4 may be a wide open race. Yukino Yukinoshita (3346 votes) is a slight favorite to win the group after wins over Yuno Gasai (1766 votes) and Karen Kujou (1416 votes). Ririchiyo Shirakiin (2531 votes) is hoping to get promoted after defeating Noumi Kudryvaka (2418 votes) and Sayaka Miki (1344 votes). Sanae Dekomori may be the dark horse in this group, winning 2925 votes to defeat Nepgear (2001 votes) and Asuka Kudou (1707 votes).

Akatsuki won her Nova Group 5 match, defeating Madoka Kaname (2210 votes) and Hotaru Ichijou (1539 votes). Momo Velia Deviluke (2575 votes) also came out a winner, defeating Yuiko Kurugaya (1970 votes) and Myucel Foaran (1707 votes). However, both Akatsuki and Deviluke are most likely going to be chasing Touka Takanashi, who won 2999 votes to defeat Furano Yukihira (2332 votes) and Iona (1226 votes).

Suguha Kirigaya (3143 votes) is the favorite in Nova Group 6 and moved one step closer to promotion with victories over Laura Bodewig (2389 votes) and Takao (1026 votes). Other winners included Misaki Shokuhou (2667 votes) over Cthugha (2595 votes) and Komari Kamikita (1392 votes), and Shiori Shiomiya (2951 votes) over Leticia Draculair (2316 votes) and Tomoko Kuroki (1323 votes).

Hoping to join the Date A Live crew in the main draw along with Yatogami is Origami Tobiiichi (3364 votes), who defeated Kyouko Kirigiri (1992 votes) and Ryuuko Matoi (1156 votes) in Nova Group 7. Nyarlathotep (2917 votes) remains Tobiichi's main challenger after defeating Frenda Seivelun (1943 votes) and Masuzu Natsukawa (1708 votes). Mitsuki Nase (2531 votes) may be on the outside looking in but is looking sharp after defeating Yukina Himeragi (2083 votes) and Suzuka Dairenji (1612 votes).

Yui of Sword Art Online (3196 votes) scored big victories over Emi Yusa (2190 votes) and Kazusa Touma (1135 votes) in Nova Group 8. That isn't good news for Haqua du Lot Herminium (2694 votes), who wasn't as impressive in her wins over Frey (1971 votes) and Chisaki Hiradaira (1714 votes). Rin Natsume (2624 votes) could also be consigned to having to qualify through Phase III after defeating Mikasa Ackerman (2154 votes) and Morgiana (1751 votes).

Match Day 11 of the 2014 International Saimoe League Preliminaries is scheduled for Mar. 6, 2014. Vote for your favorite candidates at InternationalSaimoe.com and join the ongoing debate.

Lose Control

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling, falling down

I got this panic emotion that I cannot describe to you

My world is tumbling down, what am I, what am I gonna do?

Ca-can't deny it, deny it, what am I going through?

Ca-can not fight it, can't fight it, now I'm looking for the truth

I don't wanna live a lie – checking on my sanity

'Cause baby, maybe I can do without – is it all a fantasy?

I don't wanna live a lie – is this my reality?

It's spinning round 'n' round day 'n' night

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling

I just can't believe it

Never thought that I would be the one falling down

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling

I just can't believe it

Never thought that I would be the one falling down

I'm on a critical mission, got my destiny in my hands

Like Peter Piper I take control, put a spell on the mass

I cause hysteria, worry yourself, that's how I roll

It's not a drill, I'm for real, I'm a man who's out of control

I don't wanna live a lie – checking on my sanity

'Cause baby, maybe I can do without – is it all a fantasy?

I don't wanna live a lie – is this my reality?

It's spinning round 'n' round day 'n' night

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling

I just can't believe it

Never thought that I would be the one falling down

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling

I just can't believe it

Never thought that I would be the one falling down

I'm falling, I'm falling

And I just can't believe it

I'm falling, I'm falling down

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling

I just can't believe it

Never thought that I would be the one falling down

I don't wanna lose control, but I'm falling

I just can't believe it

Never thought that I would be the one falling down...!

Dancing In The Dark

I get up in the evening

and I ain't got nothing to say

I come home in the morning

I go to bed feeling the same way

I ain't nothing but tired

Man I'm just tired and bored with myself

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire

You can't start a fire without a spark

This gun's for hire

even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer

radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place

I check my look in the mirror

I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man I ain't getting nowhere

I'm just living in a dump like this

There's something happening somewhere

baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire

you can't start a fire without a spark

This gun's for hire

even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older

there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders

come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town

and they'll be carving you up alright

They say you gotta stay hungry

hey baby I'm just about starving tonight

I'm dying for some action

I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book

I need a love reaction

come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark...

Hey baby!!!
