｢Saimoe ‘12｣ Quarterfinals IV – Shana vs. Hisa

does this mean that saki 2nd season is coming out soon:P

…Has Saimoe ever been fair?

Last year Madoka blasted through with four characters in the best eight. This year Saki blasted through with six characters in the best eight. Next year the best eight is going to be just one show if this pattern keeps on.

There you have it: Sakimoe 2012 is now official.  Among the fake votes that clouded this battle, Shana has been eliminated in the biggest upset for the Saki fans as the weakest of the top 8 Hisa advances to the semifinals, which will give the team the crown and a total of 27 straight victories.  There is no hope for any of the anti-Saki people left to voice an opinion now as the mahjong warriors have secured their monopoly over the finals.  Now it’s only a decision of which anthem, “Glossy: MMM” or “Miracle Rush”, will play on the medal stand for a veteran or newcomer respectively.  Obviously expect low vote totals for the final three duels and debates on whether the Saimoe movement has met its end for the final week.  For the schadenfraude, the final totals can potentially be lower than the totals for any of the first three years (before Saimoe was open to the world).
The first semifinal pits the strongest newcomer Toki against the strongest veteran Nodoka; the manga has never seen them meet in person.  With the #1 seed in hand throughout the tourney, Toki needs to keep her head clear and not become overconfident in her first battle against a compatriot.  Both candidates who eliminated Nodoka in the Final Four have won the next battle for the title (Taiga, Azusa).  For Nodocchi, is the third time the charm now that the nationals for Side B (their half) had just had an anime adaptation announced, and can she deny the magic roaring from Toki’s future sight?  I am supporting and predicting Toki to win the duel.

good kaichou win
i hate shana
