RESULTS: 2012 Ruby 2

[kukimunstir]

Konata>Shinobu? WOW

[Roo-loves-Elsie]

As for Sena, from what I heard she was winning the questionable baidu moe with questionable methods, which may have created some backlash against her to people who cared. I initially wrote the factor off as too obscure, but maybe it wasn't as negligible as I thought.

Baidu people shouldn't be underestimated...

[fujibayashi]

Shit results.

[Jeffrey-sama]

Damn, 6k VF for Kanade.
Seriously, it's already been more than two years since Angel Beats! finished airing and she's still this strong?

oh really? Is that also why Kobato also dropped off?? What a shame because I'm hoping for Sena and Kobato in the top 8 although Inori or Aria replacing one of them is okay as well (Charlotte Dunios not so much).

I thought they support Kobato and Sena so much.

If Kobato can beat Kirino despite a decent gap in VD against her, I think she should be able to beat Aria (but that's just a guess since their VD is kind of close). The only other bad matches for her are Eucliwood and Yui-nyan, while Aria in her next match and Charlotte later on could be important matches to determine whether she can reach the top 8 or not. Since Sena barely beat Kobato, she also has a chance at reaching the top 8 if she stays where she is.

yeah, even just in the first two hours of voting session, in baidu site you can get barely 70 votes
and at the end of 24hrs, you can found about 300 votes shared there
in here we rarely reached 70, and the votes shared in our Official Facebook page is only about 70 in totals
you can get rough description from those things...

btw they liked Bokutomo very much, there is a chance that all girls from bokutomo will occupy the postseason... sigh..
and that is also the reason why AB! is still so strong despite it was an 'old' anime...

[RegalStar]

Not all baidu people who posted their vote in the ISML subforum cares about baidu saimoe, though.

[JLoable91]

Go Konata, lolz!~
But really that Kurisu-win was too close :s

[chan12]

So interested in next match between Kobato vs. Aria, i bet Aria can beat her.
Finally Homura win after defeat her comrade, Kyoko

[Sedon]

Shit results.

[Deathscyther]

Wow, nice job Konata!
Louise > Kyō = :/ I like both of them, but I was rooting for Kyō..
Homura > Kyōko =

[Kordosa]

Damn, 6k VF for Kanade.

Keep in mind that the Region 1 DVDs/BDs weren't released until July of last year. And since there are many anime fans out there that only get their anime through licensed sources as opposed to following fansubs as series air in Japan, they may have simply been late to the party, so to speak. And since Facebook has recently been added to ISML's site, even more anime fans on Facebook are finding out about some of these series they may not have heard of until now, and just now checking them out. So theoretically, this interest from newer fans may be helping to maintain Kanade's strength, where it otherwise might start diminishing.

i wonder if kanade wins this year's tiara already... as her strength was this terrifying
or there is an underdog girl who can beat her surprisingly like Shana did last year

dat moment when Kanade's competitive record is like Spanish RFEF's...
is so boring

[Chikara Icy]

Konata > Shinobu=
