2018 Nominations predictions/discussions

[maglor]

Made the post to let people know that 2009 Tiara winner Katsura Hinagiku will return to main tournament.

[Toady]

That's nice for Hina-chan, but just like Fate I don't think she'll make any miraculous comeback. Maybe Mio in 2019 could somehow make it in top 16 and Mikoto in 2020 could win, but for Hina, meh.

I don't think I will add too many new characters from 2017 to my nominations list.
I think I would vote for Nishimiya Shouko, Yamada Elf and Nanachi.
I guess the top 2 of each Season will be auto-qualified again?

Mikoto in 2020 could win,

"could"? you mean "will"?

[Homura]

Most voters born between 1990-1995 will have retired by 2020, while voters born around 2000 will start becoming the main force in ISML. I expect them to grow up less influenced by the To Aru series, and have tastes different from early or mid 90 born people. I'm aware of the new anime of Index, but I also have bright expectations for the youngers, at least now lol

[Chibasa]

What about Mashiro 2020 after completing Rainbow? :3

I predict I'll be disappointed... I hope get Misaki again in the tournament, even if I have doubts she'll get any boost from index 3 lol

there's no retiring from anime hell.

Unless someone can give us a really great reason, the 2*4 = 8 seasonal finalists will be auto-qualified again. All the necklace/pendant winners will also be auto-qualified.

[HasbeenaHibiki]

My predictions for 2018 is Tanya Degurechaff somehow makes it and Ichimatsu will probably pass preliminaries this time due to Osomatsu season 2. I also don't think Hinagiku will do well. The newer characters on my nominations for now are Tanya, Kotozume Yukari and Amano Miu. I think Blend-S might be the new Gochiusa in ISML.

When will nominations begin?

Charter has been released.

[Meiko Honma]

I probably won't participate. Neither of my favorites (Menma, Nonoka, Robin, Koala or Phos) will win, I know that much.

[LeaderMagnet]

I guess the Steins;Gate franchise will seize the Spring Diadem and make it into both semifinals.

No, bcs the strong ones like Kurisu and Tuturu Mayuri will be on main tournament.
While the weaker ones will probably only go as far as top 16

there may have little possible, that they can't pass the last train of nomination success line (i.e. lower than 104th, or they are failed 104th per V.G2.), although I even doubt this possible.

Sucks Violet Evergarden has to wait another year to be nominated here because she started in January 11th, but I hope she wins the diadem. Don't care what people say anout the show being slow-paced, it is worth the watch for her and the show itself. Well, there's always Shiina Mashiro who has similarities

Yay I know that I can't let VE join main this year, but isn't in this year the nomination table of Winter series exhibition combined with main table?

She can be nominated. It just that she will be nominated for 2018 Winter Seasonal Tournament, not the main tournament.

So I have to wait for the seasonal nominations instead of the one in a few hours
