ISML 2015 - Voting round 1

[VanQ]

So another year another International Saimoe League voting round has begun. You can vote in the Aquamarine Period - Round 1 here [http://internationalsaimoe.com/voting/]. If you're wondering what the Saimoe League is, it's an annual competition held by anime fans to vote on who they find to be the most moe anime girl (and guy) from any anime that has aired in the previous year.

So get to voting! And for discussion value, what do you think of this year's round 1 selection and who did you vote for?

Here's who I went and voted for. None of the brackets were particularly hard matched except for the match up between Stephanie Dola and Konno Yuuki. Please share yours too!

No Chaika? What a shame,

I'll take the crab, Rikka, Taiga, Kobato, Illya, hellschyth, Azusa and.... YOU F***** Shinobu vs. Yuki?! You can go straight to hell.

Can't wait for an idiot to talk about how sexist it is and why they don't do the same for men.

If somebody does complain about that then we know they haven't read the OP or checked out the site itself because they included a men's division this year. I even voted for my favourite anime guys.

Hachiman is moe as fuck.

.. *Derp*

That's a lot of names in Japanese, anime girls in which I do not recognize at all. I'll have to do research (without the Rule 34 aspect to em) and see whom I think is the best. Personally, doing so by how they 'look' seems like a cop out rather than watching what anime they're in .. . . but that would take to long lol.

Well it shouldn't be hard to find info on the characters listed. The Saimoe League typically only includes characters who have had some kind of anime release in the last year. Alternatively you can abstain your votes for any matchups where you don't know either character. And of course most of the anime the characters are in can be found quite easily, should you actually feel inclined to view them.
