Results for Day 2 of Preliminary Phase I. My predictions were pretty accurate, although K-On and Clannad didn't place the first-second that I anticipated.
- Akemi Homura, Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko), Tachibana Kanade
Of course, Tenshi wins gold. But I'm kinda surprised that Kuroneko was forced from first by over 1000 votes, as she is very popular; I thought Akemi Homura would take second, but she lost to Kuroneko by ~200 votes, and beat Yuu and Char by ~100 and ~200 votes respectively. I'm wondering if Tenshi has anything to do with it, or that the Homura faction is not as strong as I had thought it would be.
- Hirasawa Yui, Konjiki no Yami, Nymph
K-On cleanly slides into first, followed by Nymph, and then Yami. These three placed without much difficulty, fourth place being ~500 votes away from Yami.
- Honma Meiko, Kaname Madoka, Yuzuriha Inori
New anime seasons prevail, with Guilty Crown and AnoHana triumphing over another Puella Magi faction. Guilty Crown, weak in previous rounds, easily took first by ~700 over Meiko and Madoka
- Furukawa Nagisa, Hirasawa Ui, Last Order
Surprisingly, Last Order stands at first, followed by the bean bread lover and the responsible sister. Toaru is popular after all, but was interesting that Clannad and K-On, perhaps more popular, were defeated at the hands of a supercomputer of a genetic clone.
- Kirishima Shōko, Nakagawa Kanon, Tōwa Erio
Idk who any of these girls are. Erio wins, followed by Shoko and then Kanon. This grouping consisted mostly of the smaller titles in this competition
- Ichinose Kotomi, Illyasviel von Einzbern, Sanzen'in Nagi
Berserker's Master takes first, followed by one of the legendary tsundere four/five (if you count aria), and then by the screeching violin.
- Himeji Mizuki, Irisviel von Einzbern, Shiomiya Shiori
Von Einzbern takes the crown again! And then comes Mizuki and Shiori takes third.
- Holo, Izumi Konata, Kotobuki Tsumugi
Surprising results... Holo not only makes it into the regular season, she places first in her arena. Equally surprising is that Konata beat out the pastry-serving pianist, who hails from a legendary moe pool.
- Elucia de Lute Irma, Gasai Yuno, Konoe Subaru
Don't know much about these girls either. Subaru barely gets away with first, and the Future-Diary-yandere-ish girl lags behind Irma by less than a hundred votes
