Round 2 Has Finished!

Hey, no tiebreakers this time!

Not much to say this time. Most of the results were what I expected but I do have some questions about others (please feel free to answer said questions).

If you would like to see the percentages and some commentary, continue reading. If not, I will see you soon for round 3.

Ayame Mikuri (51.9%) vs Miyuri Yukari

Pia Undo vs Tsubasa Hanekawa (75.2%) - I know nothing about Divine Gate, but I do think Pia's outfit is quite cute. A little sad she lost.

Toyo vs Madoka Kaname (84.3%)

Livia Medeiros (50.7%) vs Rena Minami - ... Really? Alright then.

Sana Futaba (78.3%) vs Asahi Miura

Kaede Akino (56.8%) vs Sudachi Suwa

Mikoto Sena (51.7%) vs Hotaru Yura

Saki Asami vs Mikage Yakumo (82.6%)

Sasara Minagi vs Amaryllis (81.1%) - This was a much larger gap than I expected. Is her story that good or do people mostly just like the design better?

Ren Isuzu (76.3%) vs Kokoro Awane

Kuro vs Nanaka Tokiwa (70.9%)

Kagari Hinata vs Alina Gray (85.7%)

Mikura Komachi vs Yu (76.9%) - Please, I am begging someone to tell me why Yu. Why is she so popular? It can't be because she's a serial killer, other serial killer magical girls have lost this already.

Himena Aika (62.5%) vs Sayuki Fumino

Ashley Taylor (70.7%) vs Meiyui Chun

Mel Anna (77.1%) vs Ryoko Natsu

Hazuki Yusa  vs Eternal Sakura (71.2%)

Riz Hawkwood (75.4%) vs Kanna Hijiri

Chiharu Hiroe vs Mito Aino (59.2%)

Yuna Kureha (66.2%) vs Riko Chiaki

Ayaka Mariko (74.6%) vs Meguru Hibiki

Momoko Togame vs Ui Tamaki (52.1%) - This was a little closer than I expected.

Ao Kasane (52.7%) vs Suruga Kanbaru - For a while, I really thought Suruga was going to win this.

Gunhild vs Homura Akemi (85.2%)

Sae Kirino vs Nagisa Momoe (74.3%)

Iroha Tamaki vs Yachiyo Nanami (62%) - It feels early to have two major characters face off, but the RNG willed it. And it wasn't that close.

Seika Kumi vs Nayuta Satomi (52.6%)

Karin Misono (56.7%) vs Kanae Yukino

Konoha Shizumi (68.9%) vs Shigure Miyabi

Oriko Mikuni (76.9%) vs Lapin

Olga vs Mifuyu Azusa (59.5%)

Felicia Mitsuki vs Mami Tomoe (72.2%) - Even against another major side character like Felicia, Mami has dominated. All hail Mami.

Rika Ayano vs Sayaka Miki (66.3%)

Mitsuru Inami vs Ikumi Makino (69.5%)

Kirika Kure (63%) vs Konomi Haruna

[makeitp1nk]

I finished idolish7

I need s4 RIGHT NOW.

I’ve decided of all the bands, IRL I’d be a re: vale fan. They have the most varied discography and Yuki���s voice is my fave. On stage, momo’s energy and yuki’s… yukiness balance each other out beautifully. I love that old married couple

Real talk any time Minami appears, I want to punch my tv. I hate him more than Ryo.

Nagi - the people’s prince. When he spoke in Okinawa dialect I DIED. Also this stalker is obvs his body guard and I need MORE.

After watching the ending, I wonder if they planned this from s1 since their first song was Monster Generation

Sogo and tamaki are SO GAY for each other. I adore them. Second fave ship

When Tenn told Haruka to take his pacifier out, I gasped

Loved loved loved the cycle of Trigger going back to where i7 started

Tenn needs to bury the hatchet with his family. I want to see a teary reunion where he lets his guard down and lets himself be loved by someone other than his fans

When Tenn responded to people wanting to see him cry by saying just smiles tonight, he was so flirty. It was a side of him we hadn’t seen that made his professionalism really shine

I LOVE Gaku for declaring war on Kujo—someone had to do it

I want Zool to fail so bad, but I don’t want Toma to fail so I am CONFLICTED

As someone who really wants to nurture and build up those that follow me professionally, I love that Re: vale are such good senpais. They’re not greedy about fame—they just want to do their thing and support their little babies. It’s such a beautifully breath of fresh air when we’re used to narratives of the older senpais usually holding on to their crowns as tightly as possible

You’re telling me that momo was a soccer bro and then turned into a flamboyant twink with an earring and red nail polish? I am not buying it.

I feel like Iori could be anything, but I can’t see him being an idol forever like the others. I want so much more from him and for him because in the show all he does is give. I want him to TAKE

Standout moments of the whole series:

The scene on the ship festival when i7 comes out and sings natsu—their earnestness and the reaction from the crowd will live in my heart forever

Trigger singing their new song a cappella

Re: vale singing Esperanza with Trigger as backup dancers. I got CHILLS at the end when they said they had the trigger and did little gun motions with their hands

That’s all I got since the ending totally blindsided me. I am roadkill rn and crawling towards the side of the road AKA project b lol

I’ll share my thoughts on those too

ENGLISH

The shining sun opened up the door to summer The voltage is at its climax, this summer is starting with a bang, Dancing on the Beach To the fullest, on the shore by the shining sea, Let’s take off our clothes and jump in SummerDive! To that blue sky that I’ve been searching for Right now, in this time that’ll only happen once, I want to feel it together Since our dream has just begun Fall in love, I love you I can’t stop these feelings It’s the best summer that only happens once I Love You, I Need You, I won’t forget it Just for today I’ll throw my embarrassment into the wide sea In my right hand is ice cream and in my left is a pineapple and a big watermelon When you embrace me, please don’t let go Always stay nearby, make my heart beat excitedly Ocean view At this wide sea, the future is limitless I wanna imprint our love story into my heart Because I���m able to achieve my dreams Wonderland The world is connected and I can finally set myself free Let’s head to the southern island It’s a summer dream, a wonderland, I won’t forget it SummerDive! To that blue sky that I’ve been searching for Right now, in this time that’ll only happen once, I want to feel it together Since our dream has just begun Fall in love, I love you I can’t stop these feelings It’s the best summer that only happens once I Love You, I Need You, I won’t forget it

I've always loved this song, it has such happy, summery vibes! ☀️

Rival Schools - Pancadaria ao melhor estilo High School Brawler

Rival Schools, também conhecido como Justice Academy(ジャスティス学園) no Japão, é uma série de games de luta ao melhor estilo High School Brawler, desenvolvida pela Capcom, mas que hoje em dia está no esquecimento. Representando Rival Schools, Akira Kazama adentrou o elenco de Street Fighter 5, mas até hoje os fãs de Rival Schools imploram à Capcom por um Rival Schools 3...

Rival Schools: United by Fate(私立ジャスティス学園 LEGION OF HEROES) foi lançado em 1997 para arcades, e em 1998 para o PlayStation. Rival Schools apresenta a narrativa de escolas rivais que batalham entre si por justiça na cidade de Aoharu, acerca de casos envolvendo sequestros e outros crimes. Rival Schools United by Fate pode ser melhor descrito como um clone de Marvel VS. Capcom, no entanto os personagens são poligonais, em outras palavras, o game utiliza o sistema de quatro comandos(duas variações para soco e chute, a marca registrada da SNK, produtora de The King of Fighters), em oposição ao sistema de seis comandos de Street Fighter. Jogadores escolhem uma dupla e lutam contra outra dupla. Apesar disso, as lutas são de apenas um contra um, com o personagem principal invocando apenas o parceiro se tiver com o medidor de “Vigor” cheio o suficiente para executar um “Team Attack” com os comandos de soco e chute do mesmo grau. Depois do término do primeiro round, jogadores podem trocar de personagem para o segundo round, independentemente se perderam ou não o round anterior, ou continuar com o mesmo personagem. Rival Schools também teve a participação de Sakura Kasugano, que representa a Tamagawa Minami High School. Tendo amizade com Hinata Wakaba(Taiyo High School) e Natsu Ayuhara(Gorin High School), Sakura ajuda a investigar os ataques nas escolas. Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2(私立ジャスティス学園 熱血青春日記２) é a atualização de Rival Schools United By Fate, que foi lançada em 1999 apenas no Japão. O “2″ no título causou muita estranheza nos fãs, induzindo-os a erroneamente acreditar que aquele game era uma continuação do primeiro. 

Project Justice(燃えろ!ジャスティス学園), intitulado como Project Justice: Rival Schools 2 na Europa, foi lançado no ano de 2000 para arcades e em 2001 para Dreamcast, e é a verdadeira continuação de Rival Schools: United by Fate. O sistema de luta de Project Justice é o mesmo de Rival Schools: United by Fate, mas agora as equipes de dividem em trios. Com isso, os personagens podem executar um “Trio Team Attack”, que faz com que os três personagens iniciem uma ofensiva ao oponente. Project Justice, assim como o antecessor, apresentou um sistema de criação de personagens, que poderiam ser utilizados em todas as modalidades, exceto o modo Single Player. No entanto, ao que tudo indica, o modo de criação de personagens consistia de uma representação na forma de um jogo de tabuleiro, que se passava durante um festival interescolar, ao invés de simulação de personagem como em Rival Schools. Como o modo School Life no primeiro Rival Schools, este modo de gameplay não está disponível nas versões ocidentais, pois a Capcom alegava que levaria muito tempo pra fazer a localização do modo de gameplay de tabuleiro. Ao invés disso, diversos sub-personagens desbloqueáveis foram inclusos nessas versões, construídos a partir do esquema de criação de personagem da versão japonesa.

Round 1 Has Finished!

Thank you all for voting! Some results are exactly what I expected but quite a few were confusing to me. Sometimes I wish I knew why people voted the way they did. Also, just for the record, I did randomize these. None of these pairings were planned.

Now for something important I'm going to say before things get too bad.

I've seen a few heated replies that are getting too close to aggressive for my taste. Guys, this is for fun. There are no real world consequences to the result of this poll bracket. If I believe someone is getting too aggressive or insulting towards other voters (or me), I will block. I don't want any true negativity here and if preventing some people from interacting keeps peace, I will do it. You all are free to try and convince others to vote the way you want, but keep it civil.

If you would like a list of results along with some commentary, feel free to click the keep reading button. Otherwise, see you all soon for the next round.

Suzune Amano vs Ayame Mikuri (54.3%) - The first result gives me sadness. I'm a real fan of Suzune's character.

Niko Kanna vs Miyuri Yukari (63.8%)

Pia Undo (59.2%) vs Yuuri Asuka

Tsubasa Hanekawa (50.4%) vs Alexandra Kurusu - This one was close. It was switching back and forth until the end.

Toyo (81.1%) vs Ebony

Sasa Yuuki vs Madoka Kaname (91.2%) - I wonder how Sasa would have done against someone other than Madoka. You know, the magical girl who will probably be in the top 5 if not win the whole bracket.

Livia Medeiros (67.1%) vs Hikari Kirai

Hayate Yagami vs Rena Minami (81.3%)

Tart vs Sana Futaba (67.1%)

Arisa Narumi vs Asahi Miura (68.1%)

Manaka Kurumi vs Kaede Akino (68.9%)

Ranka Chizu vs Sudachi Suwa (52.6%)

Mikoto Sena (81.5%) vs Hagumu Azumi - I'm sad we'll probably never see Mikoto animated. Her design is really pretty.

Hotaru Yura (83.3%) vs Moka Megumi

Himika Mao vs Saki Asami (60%)

Melissa de Vignolles vs Mikage Yakumo (58.9%)

Yukika Nanase vs Sasara Minagi (55.4%)

Amaryllis (61.3%) vs Shizuka Tokime

Ren Isuzu (83.1%) vs Pernelle

Shizuku Hozumi vs Kokoro Awane (56.1%)

Kuro (58%) vs Kaoru Maki - The character without eyes won. Okay.

Kagome Satori vs Nanaka Tokiwa (54.1%)

Kagari Hinata (66.7%) vs Mayoi Hachikuji

Alina Gray (69.1%) vs Ria Ami - I really love Ria's design. I would like to think she would have moved on if she wasn't against a major character like Alina.

Mikura Komachi (60.3%) vs Umika Misaki

Yu (77.5%) vs Lavi Himuro - Why? Is there some real love for Yu out there for some reason or is it just voting against Lavi? I really don't understand this one.

Kushu Irina vs Himena Aika (50.6%)

Sayuki Fumino (51.7%) vs Chika Aoba - The first of two tiebreakers. What a peculiar duo to be a tie. And I messed up the title of the poll like a loser.

Ashley Taylor (73.2%) vs Akira Shinobu

Yuuri vs Meiyui Chun (87.7%)

Hinano Miyako vs Mel Anna (67.1%)

Satomi Usagi vs Ryoko Natsu (76.1%) - Satomi was the reason I decided to use fan art for the Kazumi girls. The only colored art of her I could find had SAMPLE across the front of it. And she didn't even win.

Ayase Souju vs Hazuki Yusa (75.7%)

Tsukuyo Amane vs Eternal Sakura (75.3%)

Kanami Honoka vs Mayu Kozue (92.3%) - Poor Kanami got bodied.

Kako Natsume (58%) vs Hanna Sarasa

Maria Yuki vs Rui Mizuki (65.8%)

San Kagura vs Kanoko Yayoi (65%)

Chizuru vs Masara Kagami (70.4%)

Ryo Midori vs Juri Oba (66.7%)

Isabeau vs Kyoko Sakura (84.6%)

Tsubaki Mikoto (70.8%) vs Chisato Shion

Riz Hawkwood (83.9%) vs Temari Kira

Kanna Hijiri (52.6%) vs Jun Kazari

Sunao Toki vs Chiharu Hiroe (55%)

Aimi Eri vs Mito Aino (66.7%)

Kuroe vs Corbeau (51%) - The cloak girl showdown was really close. I really never knew who would win.

Nemu Hiiragi vs Tsuruno Yui (70.2%)

Kazumi vs Yuma Chitose (52.6%)

Hitagi Senjougahara vs Mitama Yakumo (59.6%) - I'll be honest, I kinda thought the Monogatari fans would have risen and voted. Then again, I have no idea how large the Monogatari fanbase is in the first place.

Shinobu Oshino vs Yuna Kureha (62.5%)

Yuuna Kaharu vs Riko Chiaki (70.5%)

Ayaka Mariko (53.5%) vs Takina Inoue

Meguru Hibiki (60.8%) vs Akari Mai

Nadeko Sengoku vs Momoko Togame (55.6%)

Mirai Wakaba vs Ui Tamaki (86.2%)

Ao Kasane (57.3%) vs Matsuri Hinata - I'm actually a bit crushed. I love both Matsuri's design and character. The fact she didn't get through but her sister did is almost worse.

Suruga Kanbaru (52.8%) vs Fate T. Harlaown

Seira Mihono vs Gunhild (69.8%)

Rion Yuzuki vs Homura Akemi (93.1%) - Rion was destroyed. I almost feel bad.

Asuka Tatsuki vs Sae Kirino (58.1%) - Fun fact, when the poll ended the first time it said 50.6% Asuka. Only the next day did it say it was tied. That's why the tiebreaker poll went up so much later.

Nagisa Momoe (83.2%) vs Sakuya Suzuka

Iroha Tamaki (66.9%) vs Chisato Nishikigi - I have no idea what Lycoris Recoil is about, but both of the crossover girls had really nice designs.

Mitsune Miwa vs Yachiyo Nanami (74.6%)

Seika Kumi (61.9%) vs Emika Kisaki

Nayuta Satomi (52.6%) vs Tsuyu Mizuna - The first time I saw Tsuyu, I just thought Ayaka Kamisato. Keep in mind, I was not playing Genshin at the time.

Yozuru Sasame vs Karin Misono (50.9%)

Urara Yume vs Kanae Yukino (75%)

Konoha Shizumi (61.5%) vs Eliza Celjska

Shigure Miyabi (62.4%) vs Haruka Kanade - Really? I thought Haruka had one of the better designs but apparently I'm wrong. Or maybe Shigure's story is really that good.

Tsukasa Amane vs Oriko Mikuni (63.8%) - Also a little sad neither Amane twin got through. I like their designs but that might just be my personal bias towards kimono-styled outfits.

Hotori Yuzuki vs Lapin (72%)

Tsumugi Wakana vs Olga (75.2%)

Mifuyu Azusa (59.2%) vs Mabayu Aki - Mabuyu has a design I think would have fit with the Holy Quintet if she was released back in the day (and the clothes were green). But I have heard Scene 0 is pretty meh so that probably held her back quite a lot.

Natsuki Utsuho vs Felicia Mitsuki (83.3%)

Mami Tomoe (71.4%) vs Touka Satomi

Rika Ayano (58.7%) vs Heruka

Sayaka Miki (86.1%) vs Nanoha Takamichi - I also thought the MGLN fans would have risen from depths and really voted for their titular character. But then again, Sayaka is a force to be reckoned with in this bracket.

Mitsuru Inami (73.6%) vs Luca Souju - Every single one of the characters I used fan art for didn't even move onto the second round. I could have just not included them and nothing would have changed. And that's a shame because I feel Kazumi has some real underrated designs, especially the Soujus.

Ikumi Makino (66.3%) vs Minou

Kanagi Izumi vs Kirika Kure (52.9%)

Konomi Haruna (76.5%) vs Leila Ibuki

アサガオの散る頃に / When the morning glory falls

English translation

please find the english translation, kanji and romanized lyrics below🌸

TRANSLATION the chorus of cicadas resounds coldly in my heart drenching the sun hey, if the present could be dyed crimson forever the evening would be blissful too with the summer becoming more and more stubborn my hands grow sweaty and I can't hold onto you ah, will you disappear in the night? not unlike love when morning glories fall the depths of my heart hurt, it hurts I feel the distance between us hey, love is sorrow; just like high waves in summer my voice was shaking summer birds cross the sea again, heading south all I can do is watch them fly away ah, the seasons come and go before summer ends, I'll take the sadness of the past and toss it at this beautiful sky ah, the chilly nightly breeze it brings tears to my eyes when morning glories fall

KANJI 蝉時雨が僕の心に冷たく響く 太陽を濡らして ねぇ ずっと今が茜色で染まり続ければ 夕も幸せだろう 夏が意地を張るほど汗ばんでゆく この手じゃ君を繋ぎ止めておけない あぁ 夜には消えてしまうの 恋によく似た アサガオの散る頃に 胸の奥が痛い　痛いよ こんなにも距離を感じているの ねぇ　愛は哀で　それは土用波のように 僕の声を揺らしてた 海を抱く夏鳥が再び南へ 飛び去るのを見てること しか出来ない あぁ 季節は移りゆくもの 夏が終わる前に綺麗な空へと 暮れた哀しみを投げ捨ててしまおう あぁ 夜には深い涼風が 涙をくれた アサガオの散る頃に
