The final eight contenders are lined up, and what a draw this is.
Quarterfinal 1 – None Shall Pass
Astarotte Ygvar (Astarotte’s Toy) vs. Erica Hartmann (Strike Witches) (Winner)
Again? Seriously? Wow. Alright, I fully acknowledge that Erica is simply that awesome.
Quarterfinal 2 – Behind the Mask
Kyouko Sakura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) (Winner) vs. Ruri Gokou (Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai) (Predicted)
Just not enough gas in Kuroneko’s tank to topple the mighty meguca, and thus erasing our hopes of a Kuroneko finish. Sad day indeed.
Quarterfinal 3 – The Last Supper
Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) (Predicted) (Winner) vs. Sayaka Miki (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
Quarterfinal 4 – Sweet Squiddle Lies
Ika Musume (Ika Musume) vs. Mami Tomoe (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) (Predicted) (Winner)
Ika could not save us from a Mami rush, and that probably ends any chance of someone other than a meguca finishing first this year. Good effort though for Little Ika, maybe next year.
Semifinal preview is next.
