So, it's down to the dual matches now in SaiMoe 2007, the annual Top-anime female competition of the world. So, in general stupid and blogtisic fashion, here is my predictions and comments on the first two days of 3rd round of SaiMoe:

Match A1: Shana (Shakugan no Shana) vs. Izumi Segawa (Hayate no Gotoku)
Izumi Segawa is a minor character in Hayate no Gotoku, while Shana obviously is the flagship character of her respective series. As such, I expect Shana to get by this match.

Match A2: Tomoe Kashiwaba (Rozen Maiden) vs. Nagi Sanzenn (Hayate no Gotoku)
This is a very easy match for Nagi Sanzenn, the lead female of Hayate no Gotoku. I expect her to roll easily in this match to face Shana (and thus, setup the "Battle of Kugimiya", since both characters share the same voice actress, Rie Kugimiya.)

Match B1: Isumi Saginomiya (Hayate no Gotoku) vs. Konota Izumi (Lucky Star)
This actually may be a tough fight for Konota, since the voting day for this match is the same voting day for match A2 that features Nagi. So the Hayate fans will be out in force, but I would believe Vegas would say that Konota squeezes out the win in this match, probably by 10-15 votes.

Match: B2: Konoka Konoe (Negima!?) vs. C.C. (Code Geass)
Both characters aren't really that great in terms of favorites to win it all, but since we are forced to choose between the two, I would expect C.C. to get on through. Besides, it would be interesting to see Pizza-tan vs. Legendary Girl A.


Well, that's my analysis for now: more match analysis in the coming days.
