currently satisfied with every match result

>>8167164
Just wait until you're touhou gets kicked out. It's inevitable.

Moe contests are beyond pointless.

>>8167176
If I am Touhou gets kicked out, it will be in the top 10. I would still be satisfied.

Well fuck.. Udonge losing to Keine.

Nothing more to say.

Bump!

Kaguya losing to Yuuka???
I sneezed all over my monitor.

Shit taste contest, would hide thread again!

>>8167188
I don't think any of them would be kicked, just forgotten. Like Mima or someone like Konngara.

Tried to vote, now i have to wait an hour to do so because moe contests are serious bussines.

>>8167377
Now this is one consensus reached on both sides of the ocean. Yuuka is also WAY ahead of Kaguya in the annual Japanese Touhou poll. In fact, she even beat Marisa and Sanae this year.

Put Merlin in first place, she is the only Prismriver with some personality.

You guys know that Reimu lost to Chen already, right?

>>8167655
IMPOSSIBRU

>Marisa Kirisame (PC-98)

Oh for fuck's sake, it's not like they had to add 2 obligatory PC-98 characters per group, Lily Black's there.

>>8167686
But even then some like YuugenMagan still didn't make it because they were deemed unmoe. Isn't it sad?

I havn't participated in seimoe or seigar in like two years.

No new characters I feel need to win.

Only satisfied with match 8 and 13 so far... Felt like dead after match 3 and 11 results...

Reisen losing to Keine is stupid.
Reimu losing to just about anyone is infuriating.
Merlin losing to Lunasa? What the fuck? Lunasa the only Prismriver who isn't good, that doesn't make any sense. Fucking wasterners.

>The results at http://seimoe.lunar-tokyo.net/Status.html display notable differences in peoples' choices compared to Japanese Touhou popularity polls.

Actually, no, they don't. They display notable (and blatantly obvious) differences between the voting methods.

Some results I find disappointing, but none are in any way surprising so far. That said - western fanbase, who the fuck cares.

Koakuma is going to win Match 16.

>>8168524
Good point. However, Bkub is relatively more popular in the west than Japan, in addition to a there being a tendency to favor ensemble darkhorses rather than default protagonists. These things together may have contributed towards Chen almost getting twice Reimu's votes, which is far more unlikely to happen in Japanese polls

>>8168681
>a tendency to favor ensemble darkhorses

Don't apply TVTropes bullshit to Touhou, it's just not going to fit.

>which is far more unlikely to happen in Japanese polls

Wrong. Remember who won last time Japan had this kind of contest? It's just normal.

It's not about who's more popular, it's about who's more likable. Assuming constant voter base who's mostly familliar with the setting (PC-98, generic enemies and various non-characters that made their way to the bracket somehow aside), only a small fraction of voters will have a chance to vote for their actual favourites in any given match. Everything is decided by an uncommitted majority basing their choices on general impressions, or simply a whim.

It's a good thing /jp/ doesn't participate, since Bkub's popularity on /a/ would sway the vote easily - not for Chen, against her.

>>8167939
>Lunasa the only Prismriver who's any good
ftfy

This contest is balls. Reimu losing to Chen? Really? If not for stupid memes like CHEEEEEEEENNNNNN or other bullshit like that found only within the sheer stupidity of the western fandom, no way shit like this would have happened.

Wouldn't it be funny if instead of Reimu winning, it's PC-98 Reimu who won? If every single one of you vote for Reimu in today's match, the crown shall be bequeathed to its rightful owner again. Make it happen, anon! The Hakurei Shrine Neighbourhood Association needs you, now more than ever!

Match 24: Alice vs loli Alice
Fuck, maybe Mokou will win

So, what is it you guys find in Reimu?
I'd say she's quite a boring character, both in looks and power.

>>8169291
I wish. I swear some of these matches are fixed.

The question is: wasn't this supposed to be about moe, and not popularity?

I've seen quite some anger towards Yuuka's victory in particular, because of "she only won because of the youkaimoe forced meme, she's not really moe", etc

>>8169333
>I've seen quite some anger

...say, where did you see people actually caring about this?

>>8169333
This is what's ambiguous for me. This sort of contests always ends up being a popularity contest, so I can't tell if what's moe to me is way out of line with everyone else, or if people just vote for the one that's most popular. I mean, judging by moe factor, how is Yuuka able to beat Kaguya, or Keine able to beat Reisen? I honestly can't see what's moe about those two.

Also, why the hell do a good chunk of the voters felt the need to use a name when voting for this kind of thing? what the fuck

>>8169343
Oh, for fucks sake. Eye of the beholder, how many times does this need to be repeated? It's other people's feelings, you don't need to understand them. You sure could learn to accept them, though.

Also, the more people like someone, the more popular she is. It's bloody obvious, what else are you expecting?

>>8169372
While your argument is correct when applied to other things, moe is objective, not subjective

>>8169382
>moe is objective, not subjective

Care to explain why?

This is a serious question, please enlighten me.

>>8169382
>>8169382
>moe is objective

Am I being trolled?

Is it wrong if the thing that bothers me the most about this competition, of all things, is the way they listed the characters' names?

It's mostly firstname-surname, but I see some surname-firstname there, especially the characters with 'no' in their name. Fuck this lack of consistency bothers me to no end.

>>8169388
>>8169390
You don't know that the qualities that makes moe are absolute? Heh, you aren't even worth my time. lurk more, or better yet, gtfo of /jp/.

HOW HORRIFYING UGUUU

>>8169420
That sounds like the stereotypical answer from a battle-hardened anime artist about to initate battle with the protagonist.

>>8169343
You don't think Keine in OP picture is moe?

I like how Alice and Alice (PC-98) are in the same bracket.

>>8170073

Well, the problem is that if we think that way, any character can be drawn moe-like. Actually, any character can be moe on someone else's understanding.
That's why I don't think it's a big deal that it turns to, in the end, be a popularity contest.

Reimu lost to a kittie, do you think Marisa will fall to a doggie?

>>8171074
Momiji a shit

>>8171096

This match is for Hina already, the next one is a filler, not much fucks to give to be honest.

Looking forward for Yuyuko-Eirin, I'll vote for Eirin yet If I had to bet on someone I'd do it on Yuyuko, too much fanwork about her glutony, life,etc to spect anyone to realize how awesome is Eirin without shitloads of fanon references.

At least Cirno lost miserably, getting even fewer votes than Akyu; that's good enough for me

>>8171191

It made me happy too.

>>8171191
Awwww fuck. I should have voted.

Time to vote for Koakuma.

>>8171185

Eirin Yagokoro
Yuyuko Saigyouji
Genji
Kazami Yuuka (PC-98)

That group is pure bullshit, this kind of competition really need a seeding system.

>>8173348
I can't believe I'm defending a saimoe, but it's not a competition. Though, admittedly, some voters need to be informed about this.

And it's just the first round, really. The second and beyond will be composed (almost) exclusively of Windows era characters. Which are, for this particular purpose, equals.
