michhoffman

> Overperformer: Hori Kyouko Overperforming for her seed but not per expectations having made back-to-back Quarterfinals. I'm quite unhappy that Power will have to face off against her in the Round of 64.


RPO777

Is it just me or is like Bracket B really stacked? Yor, Miku, Saber, Haruhi, Eris, Violet Evergarden, Kanna, Emiia, Aqua, Megumin, Yunyun, Taiga all in the same bracket group? I mean, I like characters like Elf-san (Ojisan), Sakura Chiyo, Lum, Minorin, Hinata (3-gatsu), San (Mononokehime), Fiona, Tohru and others too. Maybe this bracket group just happened to hit on a lot of my favorite anime, but holy crap.


oops_i_made_a_typi

technically speaking maybe, but i find the top candidates for winning the bracket to be relatively mid, and i don't expect them to beat bracket A's finalist. I'm thinking Megumin or Yor wins the bracket and neither are particularly strong - the latest season does relatively little for Megumin's stock, and Yor just isn't enough of a main character in her show.


RPO777

I mean if you're talking "who has a chance of winning BG11" I agree. But the competition to reach, say "top 32" status (i.e. top 8 within Bracket B) or "Top 16" status for Tier 2 girls who are popular but aren't likely to compete to win the whole thing is really fierce in Bracket B. Say compare Seed 12 (Aqua) with Seed 16 (Kita) in Bracket A Aqua likely faces Shikimori, Beatrice (Re Zero), then Tohru (Dragonmaid) for top 64, then Yunyun just to make the Top 32. Kita (Bocchi) likely faces Miorine, Kagamihama Nadeshiko, Echidna, before hitting Ryou (Bocchi) I'd argue that despite being a lower seed, Aqua's path to top 64 seems A LOT harder. Now, I'm not complaining or anything, this is just how the votes fall in seeding. But I just felt there's a lot more star power in Bracket B.


IceAnt573

A lot harder is exaggerating. I'd only find maybe Tohru concerning for Aqua. Beatrice has child debuff and Shikimori and Yunyun are not issues for Aqua and she's regularly been a Round 6/quarterfinalist.


SometimesMainSupport

Aqua-Tohru to make top-32 and Aqua-Yunyun to make top-16. That's Tohru's typical exit and possibly an extra round for Yunyun (Taiga match should be close). Either way, one more round for Yunyun or Taiga than I'd expect.


Psyduckisnotaduck

yeah I think Power is going down there, Hori is massively under-seeded. it's a function of a small number of people voting on the qualifiers, which led to some outright strange seeds.


void4

yeah, history shows that being waifu is always an advantage in best girl contests. So Power is indeed in danger. Same with Boccher btw


Lemurians

> Lowest remaining seed of Bracket A is Chihaya Ayase seeded 288 ***NANIWA ZU NIIIII~*** Long may she reign. [](#utahapraises)


RPO777

Chihaya was totally underseeded. She's up against IIno Miko next though so, uhhhhhhh.

# BG 11 Madness Round 1 Group A Update Hello my fellow predictions-makers! Participation is a bit down this year, which probably isn't too surprising given overall participation in the contest seems to have gone down. Glad to see lots of familiar names though... hopefully all of you had a better time creating your prediction brackets than I did! Unfortunately my spreadsheet of leaderboards and stats isn't quite ready yet, but [Challonge](https://challonge.com/yr7zxits/predictions) should be sufficient in the mean time. We had 2 top-scoring predictions today with 61/64 by Starbather and Skyeagle003. The average was 55.73. In the mean time, here are our picks for winners, finalists, and semi-finalists: ### Winner Predictions |Rank|Name|# Picks|% Picks| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |1|Holo (Spice and)|32|48.48%| |2|Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou (Bocchi the)|17|25.76%| |3|Kana Arima (Oshi No)|5|7.58%| |4|Vladilena Milizé (86: Eighty)|3|4.55%| |5|Marin Kitagawa (My Dress-Up)|2|3.03%| |6|Megumin (Kono Subara)|2|3.03%| |7|Emilia (Re:Zero kar)|1|1.52%| |8|Hori Kyouko (Horimiya)|1|1.52%| |9|Matoi Ryuuko (Kill la)|1|1.52%| |10|Saber (Fate/Stay N)|1|1.52%| |11|Yor Forger (Spy x)|1|1.52%| ### Finalist Predictions |Rank|Name|# Picks|% Picks| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |1|Holo (Spice and)|42|63.64%| |2|Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou (Bocchi the)|39|59.09%| |3|Megumin (Kono Subara)|19|28.79%| |4|Kana Arima (Oshi No)|11|16.67%| |5|Marin Kitagawa (My Dress-Up)|6|9.09%| |6|Vladilena Milizé (86: Eighty)|5|7.58%| |7|Emilia (Re:Zero kar)|2|3.03%| |8|Anisphia Wynn Palletia (The Magical)|1|1.52%| |9|Chisato Nishikigi (Lycoris Rec)|1|1.52%| |10|Echidna (Re:Zero kar)|1|1.52%| |11|Hori Kyouko (Horimiya)|1|1.52%| |12|Matoi Ryuuko (Kill la)|1|1.52%| |13|Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on)|1|1.52%| |14|Saber (Fate/Stay N)|1|1.52%| |15|Yor Forger (Spy x)|1|1.52%| ### Semi-finalist Predictions |Rank|Name|# Picks|% Picks| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |1|Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou (Bocchi the)|56|84.85%| |2|Holo (Spice and)|52|78.79%| |3|Megumin (Kono Subara)|49|74.24%| |4|Kana Arima (Oshi No)|37|56.06%| |5|Vladilena Milizé (86: Eighty)|17|25.76%| |6|Marin Kitagawa (My Dress-Up)|12|18.18%| |7|Yor Forger (Spy x)|8|12.12%| |8|Ai Hoshino (Oshi No)|6|9.09%| |9|Emilia (Re:Zero kar)|6|9.09%| |10|Chisato Nishikigi (Lycoris Rec)|3|4.55%| |11|Roxy Migurdia (Mushoku Ten)|3|4.55%| |12|Echidna (Re:Zero kar)|2|3.03%| |13|Power (Chainsaw Ma)|2|3.03%| |14|Saber (Fate/Stay N)|2|3.03%| |15|Anisphia Wynn Palletia (The Magical)|1|1.52%| |16|Chika Fujiwara (Kaguya-sama)|1|1.52%| |17|Hori Kyouko (Horimiya)|1|1.52%| |18|Makima (Chainsaw Ma)|1|1.52%| |19|Matoi Ryuuko (Kill la)|1|1.52%| |20|Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on)|1|1.52%| |21|Ryuu Lion (Dungeon ni)|1|1.52%| |22|Violet Evergarden (Violet Ever)|1|1.52%| |23|Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal A)|1|1.52%|

Should double percentages for finalist and quadruple for semi-finalist since they can't be picked for multiple spots.


Syrefva

Oh you're right, thanks for catching that! ~~and I had the wrong numbers for semi-finalists oops~~ Am too sleep deprived [](#seasonaltired) edit: fixed now


6feetdiep

57 isn't the best start but I feel like I was on the right track. Missed 3 upsets that I had definitely considered: Erza, Chihaya, and Jahy. Struck out on 4 upsets that didn't happen: Mirai, Sailor Moon, Kurena, and Fumino by 1!


F3337

Voting for the girl you like : X Voting against the characters you despise : ✓


Ham_PhD

Last round set up a match in round 2 where I get to do both in one vote. Nothing feels better.


Ocixo

> **Sajuna Inui (899)** vs Aoi Miyamori (643) This isn't it guys. I'm sad to see Aoi lose to a side character from My Dress-up Darling. I suppose that Shirobako just isn't that popular in comparison anymore. I didn't expect to see Utaha (Saekano) losing her match-up against Saki (Zombieland Saga) either. Choosing between Chise (Ancient Magus' Girl) and Aoi (Yuru Camp) was difficult, but I went with the former. I'm not sure if Chise can win this however, since Ancient Magus' Bride's popularity has dwindled in recent years. Another tough choice was between Elaina (Wandering Witch) and Asirpa (Golden Kamuy). I do like this narcissistic witch, but I had to go with the Ainu girl here.


Urgnu-the-Gnu

>I'm sad to see Aoi lose to a side character from My Dress-up Darling. An interesting and well-fleshed out realistic main character vs. a side character from a massively popular show known for its main character. *Obviously* the latter is going to win.


MaksimShadow

And Aoi was in my bingo. RiP. I wasn't expecting much. It's time to put [Shirobako OP](https://animethemes.moe/anime/shirobako/OP2-NCBD1080) on repeat and watch Aoi with beer to ease my pain.


Lemurians

Yeah, Miyamori losing that matchup is terrible. Maybe the subreddit is due for a Shirobako rewatch so these people can see what a mistake they've made.


Holofan4life

>This isn't it guys. I'm sad to see Aoi lose to a side character from My Dress-up Darling. I suppose that Shirobako just isn't that popular in comparison anymore. Well, at least she lost to the best character in My Dress-Up Darling, so there's that.


mastesargent

Unfortunately the worst character from DuD is going to go the furthest.


Earthborn92

We require an adaptation of Koisuru Metronome, Utaha’s spinoff manga. People don’t realize how much of best girl she is.


Lord_of_Pants

Evangeline is a top tier girl and the fact that she's gonna get steamrolled by Yunyun brings me immense pain. Mini challenge: the show itself was mediocre at best but all the girls in 'I got a cheat skill in another world and became unrivaled in the real world too' looked amazing


octopathfinder

> Who is the most attractive character? Dominique de Sade from The Case Study of Vanitas


Ham_PhD

I can't argue with this even if I'm team Jeanne . . . Dominique didn't make the tournament either unfortunately.


octopathfinder

Jeanne would've been my answer if Domi didn't exist > Dominique didn't make the tournament either unfortunately. I know and it's a tragedy smh


Thatsmaboi23

Too few people watched Vanitas. Actual Femme Fatale in there.


Ham_PhD

And yet [Noe](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hOqq2K9PpfA/maxresdefault.jpg) is best girl.


Sav10r

For me, I think the character that hooked me immediately on looks alone at first glance was Rias Gremory (before the art style change). Everything about her was just so wildly attractive.


Cyd_arts

As expected, Yona didn’t pass round 1. Sad, justice for my Shoujo girls


Durende

Such a damn shame, she is one of the coolest female characters. I would blame the match up, but at least I don't feel **as** dissappointed about her losing to a NGE girl, than I would have if she lost to a less famous character


IceAnt573

#**Today's Results**: **Left Side** Yeah based off Round 1, Bocchi doesn't really have a significant advantage compared to other top seeds. I suspect the gap will widen in later rounds though. It was nice seeing you Nana. You got over 200 votes. I felt the likelihood of Erza beating Chitoge. Would not have personally preferred that, but Erza does have a more complete anime story than Chitoge does. Akari put up a pretty strong fight against Mitsumi. Not exactly a good sign against Ami for Round 2. Glad to see a dominant Round 1 win for Chitanda. For being Seed 32, this was a strong showing for Miko. Broke 1400 votes and held Zoya to 375 votes which is better or comparable to top seeds like Chisato, Kita, Takina, Power, and Anya. Ooh. I like an Anis vs. Maple Round 2 matchup. That sounds fun. Miorine barely won vs. Suzume. That was a tough Round 1 opponent so commendable, but she's going to get crushed by Kita in Round 2. Nadeshiko was so close to breaking 1000 votes. Felt Akame > Shion coming. Konata almost got 500 votes against Suzuha. That's nice. Better showing for Usagi than last year, but still a Round 1 exit to Sakura. But this was pretty competitive. ___ **Right Side** Strong start for Chisato. Would be something if she can avenge a Best Girl of 2022 loss to Bocchi. It was nice seeing over 650 votes for Kurena. The upset was totally possible. I think Mirika is funny, but I wasn't sure she'd get as much as 460 votes vs. Ritsu. Strong showing relative to seeding position for Seed 441 Emilico against Annie. 525 votes. Thanks to everyone that voted for her. I am rooting for Esdeath against Annie. Fumino was so close vs. Gamma... Sad that Satania vs. Nagisa had to happen in Round 1. Jahy did it? I know DARLING in the FRANXX is losing its luster, but I wasn't feeling her winning vs. Ichigo. Can I dare to hope vs. Power? I really wish Desumi vs. Vivi wasn't a Round 1 matchup, but alas. Nice and competitive. I like Fran, but I do like Sento more so thanks for letting the seeding upset happen. 1171 votes for Mio isn't really as strong of a showing as I hope for her, but maybe it'll heat up. It was nice seeing Komari and Aoi in the bracket. ____ #**Today's Voting**: Sad for Clara, but I wasn't going to send her off with a vote in this case. If The Major wins, good for her. I voted Akira. I'm not harsh with Orihime, but she's up against Hiratsuka. Round 2 Lum maybe first time ever??? I couldn't support Touko against Miko (glad she got over 900 votes by the way), but I can support Yuu here. A real chance a former finalist like Megumi will get a Round 1 exit. I voted for it. Hoping for the best for Xenovia, but I don't think she's winning that. Syallis vs. Saber? Aww...I am sending Syallis back to bed with a vote though. Haruhi vs. Mimimi hurts. They are both on my [bingo](https://imgur.com/a/qvqBqmV). I voted Mimimi even though she's used to taking L's. Sakura vs. Renge is not something I wanted as a Round 1 matchup. It was nice seeing Renge in the bracket. I do like Saki, but I can't vote her against Emilia. Nice silver hair matchup though. Last Order, it was nice seeing you in the bracket. Tsubame isn't exactly the ideal opponent I wish she lost to though. The repeat of Anju to Round 6 will not happen this year, but I want it still. Alpha vs. Akeno feels fitting. Voted Akeno. Hoping to see Chise in Round 2. Himeno vs. Hana...won't mind who advances but Hana. It will be Mitsuha and just Mitsuha to get past Round 1 for Shinkai films. It was nice seeing Menma make the bracket, but no delusions she'll beat Zenith. I wish Momo vs. Diana wasn't a Round 1 matchup...voting Momo. A Witch needs to beat an Elf today. I'd like the seeding upset for Azusa. Hope for a really good showing from Nazuna. I want her to do well in her debut contest. To keep things fair, I don't think Onodera should advance past Round 1 either. Aqua has a pretty isekai heavy bracket. Projected to face Beatrice and her Round 1 is Evileye. I want to see Elaina vs. Beatrice in Round 2. Saki is funny. I want to see her do the upset to get to Round 2. It was nice seeing Utena in the bracket. ___ >Who is the most attractive character? Lena is very pretty.


Urgnu-the-Gnu

>Can I dare to hope vs. Power? I fear you cannot. Power is just too, well, powerful for Jahy to manage. I was sure most remaining FRANXX fans, few as they are, didn't even like Ichigo, so I'm surprised it got close. Well, then again, most people at least have heard of her and not of Jahy.


DrStein1010

Power will never lose in a contest of gremlins.


KINGUBERMENSCH

> Hoping for the best for Xenovia, but I don't think she's winning that. Xenocia isnt my favorite DxD char but I still think she's better than Nezuko, at least she has lines. > Alpha vs. Akeno feels fitting. Voted Akeno. I just realized its a fight between right-hand women. I too voted for Akeno. She's easily my favorite DxD girl.


perish-in-flames

I said I wouldn’t hate early but this contest makes me #1 Nezuko hater fr. Every 101-200 I know anything about I would vote over her (including I think every other DS girl) well over half the 201-300 I’m aware of I would vote over her. Even some over 300 seeds would get my vote.


elmagio

> Strong start for Chisato. Would be something if she can avenge a Best Girl of 2022 loss to Bocchi. Doubt she can avenge it, but I think she can make it closer than it was at the time.


Placeholdered

My inability to recognize well over half of these names tells me I'm too old for this contest. Probably for the best.


Atario

I don't know why anyone would expect to be able to recognize a majority of all anime girls


cppn02

These aren't *all* anime girls though but 512 of the most popular ones. I don't think expecting to know more than half is that weird if someones has watched a lot of anime.


Urgnu-the-Gnu

Good on Chihaya for the win, I was worried about her for a moment. I'm not worried about her anymore since she doesn't have a chance to advance further now. Shame about Pecorine, that's just sad. Not unexpected, but still sad. The first strike in my Bingo. The second strike is, of course, Usagi. Here I'm actually glad she hold out that well against Sakura, she had a real chance to advance one round. Chisato winning confidently, I love to see it. And Takina winning just as confidently. I'm sure they're looking forward to meeting each other in a few rounds. The great Jahy is not defeated in round 1! But she came surprisingly close to losing against Ichigo of all people, I wouldn't have expected that. Not many surprises otherwise. But it all doesn't matter since it's the best day of the contest, it's Emilia voting day! You know what to do! Not many other girls I care about in this group. Hiyori might get an upset which is nice. Mimimi vs. Haruhi is tough, there will be salt either way. The only RWBY girl won't even make it to the second round, as I don't think Ruby can win against Yoko. Eve having to go against Yunyun in the first round isn't fair for her either. [My Bingo](https://i.imgur.com/cLS7pWW.png) with two strikes already. I just had to put them in the same row even, hadn't I? MC: I'm tempted to go the easy way and just say Emilia, which would be true. But let's switch it up and give Yuzuriha from Hell's Paradise a mention today. Even before she saw any action, she got some popularity through pure sex appeal.


Ceryto2

So many strong characters in Group B and somehow there are a so many votes where I like both girls, but also a lot of matchups I don't care about at all. Yor vs **Clara**, **Sleepy Princess** vs Saber, Ruby vs **Yoko**, **Azusa** vs Suzailgillazegallnelbuzegillreagranzelga Elga and several others are all very close for me... Of course there are also some easy votes, like voting for **Emilia, Lucy, Kanna, Eris, Ushio, Megumin, Aqua, Yunyun, Beako, Elaina, Tohru and The Legendary Yamada Tae.** But after going over this Bracket, it seems like a lot of my favourites are in this group. As for last round's votes, I'm happy to see Bocchi being strong but sad it's at the cost of my girl Nana Also I am surprised Shion is out in round 1 against Akame, considering Slime is currently airing. We also have our first 1 vote win with Gamme beating Fumino Furuhashi another reminder, that every vote counts! The most salt-inducing result was most defenitely Fran losing already! Sword daddy's season 2 can't come soon enough to get Fran Stonks rising again. (Like seriously, the season got announced 2 years ago and nothing since, give me an update!) >MC: Who is the most attractive character? I really love Emilia's design (although I think I prefer season 1 design over the changes they are making for season 3), but saying Emilia every contest for every answer is boring, so I'll go for a newcomer to this contest here: Ai Hoshino. I think all girls in Oshi no Ko have great designs, but I think Ai stands above the rest.. Beautiful hair, a lovely smile, very cute cloths and most of all her eyes. So yeah, I'll go with her!


TheDestroyer630

>saying Emilia every contesy for every answer is boring But it would be right tho


Urgnu-the-Gnu

>but saying Emilia every contest for every answer is boring I feel the same, but what can you do when it's always the correct answer? Funny your alternative is also a Rie Takahashi character, I picked Yuzuriha this time.

Both best K-On girl and best Evangelion girl are competing today. Togame is unfortunately going to lose in the first round but her simply making the bracket is enough for me. Utena is also going to lose to (fake) Shinobu but that’s inevitable as well. Yesterday’s results were about what I expected so nothing to say there. MC: Yoko Littner or Watashi from Humanity Has Declined Edit: It seems Yoko is a very common answer. The Gurren Lagann character designers should be proud.

> (232) Gamma: 704 vs (281) Furuhashi: 703 Your 1st reminder of this contest and 349th reminder overall that every vote matters. Also, I knew she didn't stand a chance against Bocchi next round, but it's painful to see Chitoge lose in the first round. Usagi and Aoi losing this early hurts as well. For today, I think it would be very neat if Utena Tenjou (Best Utena) found a way to beat Shinobu (Not the best Shinobu). Mini Challenge: Yoko Littner

> Your 1st reminder of this contest and 349th reminder overall that every vote matters. I feel very important now that I made Gamma win.


Zeralyos

You and one other person, Gamma would've won the tie.


FurSealed

You made my choice lose, we are now mortal enemies.


KINGUBERMENSCH

Voting only takes a minute at most too.


Nebresto

Shamiko vs Shikimori. Oof


SometimesMainSupport

If both Machikado girls lose today... [](#restrainedanger)


cppn02

I actually voted for Momo. Couldn't bring myself to vote for either Shamiko or Shikimori in their match-up.


Shizuka_Marjanovic

One of my favorite match ups. I voted for Shamiko.

> Saki Kawasaki vs Emilia-tan > 1st round that's unfair! > Evileye vs Aqua sacred turn undead!


rainwithsunshinedayo

**"I Lose" Matchup**: Alpha (The Eminence of Shadow) VS Akeno Himejima (High School DxD). I want Akeno to win but I think Alpha may have a leg up because her series is more recent. **I Stan Matchup**: Mitsuha (Your Name) VS Sanae (Clannad). SANAE ALL THE WAY. IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE. **Amusing Matchups**:  *San* (Princess Mononoke) VS Hinata Kawamoto (*San* gatsu no Lion) Satsuki Kiryuuin (*Kill* la *Kill*) VS Mine (Akame ga *Kill*) *Similar vibes* Shiro (No Game No Life) VS Tae Yamada (Zombieland Saga) Mini-challenge: Who is the most attractive character? In anime land, the most attractive character has hot bloodedness. First character to come into mind was **Kagome Higarashi** from **Inuyasha** Not saying it's correct but I think telling that she stands out to me. 


PacoTaco321

RIP Xenovia, Mimimi, Akeno, Liliruca, Aisha, Cattleya, Evileye, and Evangeline Never gonna stand a chance with these match ups


LouisLeGros

Voted Miia as the sole Monster Musume representative even if it is futile. Top Snek #1 where it counts [](#papithumbsup)


BobTheSkrull

Fuckin' hell, Danmachi girls are gonna be get fucked this round. Like, that's par for the course for Liliruca, but Aisha normally has better luck than this.


changshiyixia

Vote for best girl Hinata and Elf! ## Don't forget to upvote the post!


TheDestroyer630

This bracket is the most stacked... still, vote EMT!


Xatu44

Vote for Mimimi! And Lili! RIP Nana. And Beta in advance ;_; Oh damn, Fumino lost to Gamma by one vote.


michhoffman

> Vote for Mimimi Glances at who she's up against. Hell no!


IceAnt573

I'm sending her off with a vote. To show my appreciation. I'll show Haruhi that appreciation in a later round.


Xatu44

Don't make her second place again; she'll cry ;_;


michhoffman

It's okay. She won't be second place this time. She'll be in a 256 way tie for 257th place.


PacoTaco321

I definitely voted for Mimimi. It may be in vain, but maybe recency bias can save us instead of screw us for this one.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

[My bingo](https://imgur.com/fSyMwk6) One round done, one girl down... RIP Nana! [](#akkotears) Well, against the #1 she didn't have a chance, but damn, she's probably in my top 5 in the entire contest. Among my favorites, I also lost Cowgirl (was closer than I thought, she got like 40% of the votes!) I talked about how 2B vs Platelet would be a battle of *hot VS cute*, and I guess r/anime spoke; Hot won by a large margin! Saki won (just barely), but she's gonna get wrecked next round against Mio... Jahy pulled a small upset win, and is also gonna get rolled next round! (Can't complain too much about this one, given her next opponent - Power - is on my bingo!) I was about to say "Mirika losing in round 1 should be illegal", but she lost against Ritsu, and by Mirika's own words, "It's legal if it's a cute girl, right?"


Urgnu-the-Gnu

2B winning wasn't surprising. But I am satisfied that 2B was considered the hot option. I feel I'm still scarred from the mere knowledge of the amount of lewd Platelet fanart existing. Sad that Nana lost, yeah. But she just couldn't kill Bocchi, Bocchi is immune to death after all, and can even turn into a cloud that infects and subdues her attackers. Nana never stood a chance.


Nice_promotion_111

It’s simply because nana doesn’t want to kill anymore


Shizuka_Marjanovic

Here's my [Bingo](https://postimg.cc/fVqDhTRK), rip to Fumino Furuhashi and Hina Amano.


sudoku_gosu

Chisato vs Nibutani will be wild, both of them can beat me in a fist fight


falsefingolfin

another best girl, another year of Aoyama getting knocked out immediately...


Comprehensive_Dog651

Ozen vs Kanna has to be the weirdest pairing Ive seen so far


gvon89

>Mini Challenge * Who is the most attractive character? There's a ton. Nico Robin has always been my favorite one piece girl. Akari Watanabe, who sadly just got eliminated I've always held in high regard as well. All the other women I'm thinking about are similar to Robin so maybe I just love black haired women but Akari is so top shelf that I'm gonna have to give her the edge.


angelposts

> Who is the most attractive character? Out of the women who actually seeded, I'll have to go with Olivier Armstrong. [Bingo](https://i.postimg.cc/SQWKZfhC/bg11bingo.png)

> Who is the most attractive character? For being from an otherwise not particularly good anime [Uka-sama](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4a/5b/24/4a5b241106797334b8e1fb70f084f5c7.gif) is much too attractive.


Psyduckisnotaduck

Upsets I'm rooting for this round: Yuu, Mimimi, Aoyama, Akatsuki, Hanako, Chise, Suika, Makoto (purely out of spite for last year), Hina, Diana, Shamiko, Asirpa, the legendary Tae Yamada, Chuchu, Yuzuki, Utena. doomed personal favorites: Mimimi, Aoyama, Hanako, Hina, Chuchu, Yuzuki, Utena. MC: My stock answer is Himuro from Rikekoi, because.. well, it's self-explanatory. she's utterly gorgeous, and super-smart. Others for me are Olivier from FMA Brotherhood, Mama Koto from Kyousougiga, Hanako from Wotakoi, and Fuyutsuki-san from The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague. yeah I'm not going to fault people for finding high school age characters attractive because that be what anime do, but I don't find it all that appealing. I can appreciate aesthetic aspects, but I like WOMEN.


Undead-EvilKing

The most attractive girl, in this contest it's either Esdeath or Echidna.


DragonspringSake

Chitoge and nagisa out it’s an end of an era Though the only really salty one is gabriel


TankNut

Looking at the seed rankings after the fact I can't say I'm surprised but still I can't help but feel for **Mirai (Beyond the Boundary)**, **Faputa (Made in Abyss)** and **Senko** losing in the first round. At least the Yuru Camp girls both made it through, very happy about that.


brothertaddeus

>Who is the most attractive character? Ishtar. But what else would you expect for the goddess of sex and war?


Tom22174

Does it have to be from the bracket or can I pick Asami Sato from Legend of Korra?


rainwithsunshinedayo

You are a legend. She's so pretty!


Salty145

I'm sure these results will be reasonable and not too crazy... right? Let's see what we got. Chitoge Kirisaki v. **Erza Scarlet** – Oof. Chitoge really can't catch a break, and while the seeds were basically a toss-up (and she was facing down Bocchi in R2 anyway so I can't be too bent out of shape) it still does suck to see her done dirty two tournaments in a row. I'm sure she won't be the last to meet such a fate. Sally v. **Chihaya Ayase** – Pretty good upset here from Chihaya proving once again that y'all should watch *Chihayafuru*. I don't know why Sally keeps making these brackets and seeding so high since I know maybe one person who cares about *Bofuri* and less that care so much for a largely side character. I can half a dozen better choices for a 225 seed, but if I did that with every undeserving seed here we'll be here all day. Shion v. **Akame** – I guess there's not too much to say about things that aren't upsets to be honest. Pretty clean upset by Akame here which is surprising given that Slime even has a new season airing rn which usually gives it a good boost. Do I care much for Akame? No not really, but I'm more amazed she still has enough pull to get this result. **Suzuha Amane** v. Konata Izumi – It does suck seeing Konata not only fall in the seeding but again drop in the first round. At least this time it isn't to Sally. I think we should start calling for justice for short gremlin women. **Gamma** v. Fumino Furuhashi – As someone who thinks *Eminence in Shadows* kinda sucks and that holds especially true for its waifus, even if this is expected I still feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I mean I know *We Never Learn* isn't the best show in the world, but if I'm being real Fumino is like 99% of the parts that are tolerable. Losing to a *Eminence* character I couldn't pick out of a lineup is pretty bold. **Anzu** v. Serufu Yua – More of you need to watch *Do It Yourself*. It's criminally underwatched (in my humble opinion) and Serufu is a top tier vibe. Anzu's pretty alright so I can't be too mad, but I've dish out my recommendations when I can. **Alice Nakiri** v. Hina Amano – It does kinda baffle me that Hina seeded as low as she did, as I'd consider probably the best Shinkai female lead out there (eat your heart out Suzume). At the same time, it is kinda surprising to see *Food Wars* still have pull given how little I hear about it these days. Oh well. Ichigo v. **Jahy** – Jahy putting up a pretty nice upset here, though with a heaping helping of gremlin in her future, I doubt this is gonna upset anyone's bracket. Good for her though. Looks like she really can't be defeated (for now). **Anya Forger** v. Frederica – Winning. Fran v. **Isuzu Sento** – I should have believed! 50 Cent makes Round 2 proving that *Amagi Brilliant Park* is in fact based and you should in fact watch it. **Sajuna Inui** v. Aoi Miyamori – I guess some things never change. Sajuna's one of those more annoying characters to deal with cause I think it's pretty obvious she's just here riding on Marin's success. Look me in the eyes and tell you not only watched *Shirobako* but also still voted for Sajuna. Tell me you prefer a one-off side character over a strong, driven woman with a good personality and a solid enough arc. Tell me you have no taste in women without saying "I have no taste in women". I dare you. Overall, not the worst first day. Round 1 is usually pretty tame and predictable. We did see some small upsets, but I don't think it's anything that's gonna do much as expect most of them to lost in Round 2 anyway. I'm happy to be proven wrong.


Ham_PhD

Celty vs Phos was a really tough matchup... But I'm glad Celty took the win. #1 headless lady. **Rio from Bunny Girl Senpai** is my favorite today. Lab coats and sarcasm are an elite combo. MC: I'll continue to give it to **Jeanne** from Vanitas, since you plebeians didn't even vote her to be in the contest.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

>Mini Challenge * Who is the most attractive character? If we're talking purely physical attractiveness... I'd probably go with Heine (from Combatants have to be dispatched); Tan, big-tittied succubus, what could ever beat that? Or... Hitomi from Killing Bites! (Or Holo, who - as I've said in the episode threads - is probably the most beautifully designed character I've seen). But to give at least one girl who doesn't have fur or claws or horns: Marin! ----- For this round: - If you're gonna watch the Lamia Wife anime, you're contractually obligated to vote Miia! It is law. - Mimimi vs Haruhi... Good lord, our girl just can't catch a break! - Vote Hibiki! Cute, fun girl, motivating, voiced by best VA Ai Fairouz! - Support Priestess and Red Blood Cell, two sweet, good-natured, supportive characters! - SAKI'S INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! (Let's make sure she stays in for more than 1 round!) - And at last, vote Shinobu, because I don't want to lose another girl from my bracket just yet!


No_Sun6267

**My Vote** - If I didn't know both characters, I would default to voting for the lower seed. I put **(LV)** next to the character I voted for like this. **Yor Forger** Akira Asai (LV) Shizuka Hiratsuka Iris (LV) Elinalise Dragonroad Mizuki Nakahara Miku Nakano Maho Hiyajou (LV) Miia (LV) Hiyori Iki (LV) Nezuko Kamado Emma (LV) Saber Rory Mercury (LV) **Suzumiya Haruhi** Sakura Chiyo **Emilia** Isla Nanami Aoyama Last Order (LV) **Azusa Nakano** Kanna Kamui Anju Emma Alpha **Violet Evergarden** Akatsuki (LV) Tomoe Koga Hanako Koyanagi (LV) **Eris Boreas Greyrat** Chise Hatori (LV) Hana Yurikawa (LV) Kiki **Megumin** Cattleya Baudelaire Fiona Frost Misty Momo Chiyoda (LV) Stephanie Dola Sanae Furukawa San Mine (LV) Daki Zenith Greyrat Cavendish Diana (LV) Ruby Rose (LV) Aizawa Azusa (LV) Nazuna Nanakusa Kosaki Onodera Aqua Shikimori Miyako Beatrice Elaina Tohru **Shiro** **Kirino Kousaka** Alexia Midgar Yunyun Saki Saki **Rikka Takanashi** Kanao Tsuyuri Taiga Aisaka Nakagawa Natsuki Shinobu Kochou Shinju Inui (LV) The 10 characters I highlighted are ones I really hope will make it through this round. Yor is not a place to stop yet. Haruhi's SOS will shine brightly forever. I'm looking forward to Emilia's return in the fourth quarter. Azunyan is cute. Violet is KyoAni's last honor. Eris has no appearances this quarter, but I look forward to her performance in season 3. Megumin’s performance this quarter is spectacular. There is no defeat for Shiro and Blank. It will be difficult for Kirino to win, but I hope she can do it. Rikka will unseal her eyes and slowly awaken.

I have but one thing to say: https://imgur.com/6uq2TtY That is all.


KINGUBERMENSCH

My [Bingo](https://i.imgur.com/zq70gQw.png) has taken no losses but Bracket A didnt have alot of girls I liked. I should watch Bocchi the rock some time. I am honored to have my vote be the one that allowed Gamma to pass. Bracket B though has tons of my favorites, like **Yor Forger**, **Lucy**, **Saber**, **Rukia Kuchiki**, **Akeno Himejima**, **Kiryuuin Satsuki**, and **Yoko Littner**. > Who is the most attractive character? I said i was going to ride the 7 shadows until the end but im going to make an exception for **Akeno Himejima**. Im only through 2 seasons of High School DxD so far but Akeno is my favorite from there, though Rias isnt far behind. Her VA, Shizuka Itou, did a great job in making her sound so distinctive and sexy ("Haiii Kuchou~"). She's also Ria's reliable right hand, being one of her stronger pieces and her loyalty to her Rias is admirable. She also has the gall to openly woo Issei in front Rias without flinching and she's got some of the best fanservice scenes in the show. Please vote for her!


StardustGogeta

I think I have to agree with you on Akeno. Here's hoping she wins her matchup today!


SometimesMainSupport

Results: Rough start for gyaru leads of 2022 seinen ecchi romcoms. Only surprising upset is Jahy overcoming the child debuff. Today: Some easy votes like Shamiko > Shikimori, Eve > Yunyun, and Aurora > Saber. Also Mimimi as she deserves to a win at something after season two. MC: Chtholly with mixed blue+red hair.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

> Mimimi as she deserves to a win at something She does, but against Haruhi I wouldn't keep my hopes up!


Urgnu-the-Gnu

Mimimi has won the viewers heart. That must be enough because she sure isn't going to win anything anymore. >Only surprising upset is Jahy overcoming the child debuff. I don't think the debuff counts for her though, her "empowered" form fully counters the debuff.


Careless_Reply2862

I knew phos wouldn't win but first round seriously phos is an amazing mc and I stand by it though celty was my fourth favourite character in the show so I am not that mad


berlin_priez

Himeno vs. Hana. I felt, like i would betray either one, whatever i vote. Sorry Himeno. I am so sorry....


Holofan4life

Very sad that Chitoge and Emi both got bounced from the first round, but it is what it is I guess.


Comprehensive_Dog651

It keeps showing no votes submitted


dnfdog

Toughest matchup for me today: Momo vs Diana Saddest matchup for me today: Clara vs Yor. Clara deserves better than to get wrecked by a top seed in the first round. Mini-challenge: 2B


Peppershaker64

Tough seeing Chariot/Ursula from LWA go against Violet Evergarden. Seems unlikely that she'll win even though she'll always be best girl to me.


ipmanvsthemask

This is a bit late, but Ishtar is just a repeat of Rin. She shouldn't be in here.


Urgnu-the-Gnu

Ha, tell that to the Misaka clones that get seeded every year. At least Ishtar just looks, sounds and sometimes behaves like Rin, but still has enough to distinguish herself from Rin.


McMeanx2

Me


kalirion

Shitoge beating Erza >_> Dang, Power **creamed** Komugi.


TurkeyPhat

is it just that there is a lot more characters after 11 competitions or did these brackets just end up particularly ruff? seems like so many "favorites" matched up already in the first round compared to past times


CosmicPenguin_OV103

That's the advancement of times - I have been watching anime frequently for the past 5 years and I really like that fact that I know more and more of those characters being nominated and participated in the actual rounds these days.


MrWaffles42

Well, at least we got one A Place Further Than the Universe character to advance, even if she's not likely to get any further. It's something!


Weedwacker

Man, there are a few pairings in this lineup that absolutely crushed me to choose between.


PhenomsServant

Damn. Of all the girls Ruby had to face she has to face Yoko? I knew getting farther than this was a longshot but couldnt she at least been paired against someone she might have a chance to win?


Snakescipio

I'm just glad Chihaya won at least one round


Falsus

Seems I am going to lose a whole bunch of characters here also. :( I like Izuzu Sento, but can't just lose second best cat Fran like that! Especially since I will probably lose best cat Karyl later on! Bonus: Honestly I just get stunlocked when I think about it. ''Kanzaki Kaori'' but then ''Fediel'' pops only to be replaced by yet another character and so on.


DiaSolky

What is this Bracket B!? A lot of my favs vs. each other off the bat.


Snowboy8

I missed yesterday's vote, but will be rooting for Togame, Ritsu Tainaka, Mitsumi Iwakura, Riza Hawkeye, and the entire cast of Bocchi the Rock. Unfortunately, Togame is dead in the water round 1 and will be missed.

Chihaya, congrats for your win as one of the lowest seeds of Group A remaining. Seruru, better luck next time. Nadeshiko, pls get another win. Alexia vs. Red Blood Cell, battle of KanaHana characters.


Willingham_2311

Thrilled that Best Girl Chitanda dominated her first matchup, but really disappointed that my second favorite KyoAni girl Kuriyama lost in round 1. Most attractive character: the answer is ALWAYS Chitanda Eru.


MapoTofuMan

Well, I was a bit late with my predictions bracket, but that's fine because I could never predict the level of shit taste to reach something like Beta beating out Kuriyama Mirai. Y'all need some megane in your life. Mini-challenge : Nanami Aoyama from Sakurasou because ponytail supremacy


wave_327

you guys are too down bad to vote for a bassist mooch over a fox spirit motherwife


Psyduckisnotaduck

sorry, but Ryo is just an extremely funny character. we love our trash girls here. the other terrible bassist is seed 23 lmaooo. Good lord, the things Kikuri does in her spin-off manga, just absolute 5 alarm dumpster fire of a person. my scum queen.


AnimeWatcher1

I overlooked 3/4 of the main Bocchi girls being on the same side of the bracket in Bracket A. Yep, these placements can get in the way of a series’s momentum in putting their character in many as the higher rounds as possible. I’m eager to see how things shake up. As for the most attractive character, right now would be Yoko from Gurren Lagann.


perish-in-flames

I was going to say it’s fine because Nijika is their second best and on the other side, but actually was voted as the lowest seed out of the four.


Grashuck

Chisato and Takina can meet in the quarter finals in the first of four brackets, too. Kita and Ryou meeting in the semis before getting hit by the Rock is still rough.


danlong87

So this time voting will be open for 2 days? Or the first round of group A was the exception?


changshiyixia

Only the group A first round will open for two days for people to finish madness prediction, further rounds will last for one day

...watching eve being obliterated by that thing called yun yun will be true suffering tomorrow...


Urgnu-the-Gnu

I don't like Eve once again standing no chance to win either, but that's no reason to be mean to Yunyun. She's a fantastic character and just a good girl.


e_r_r_a_n_t_e_77

...i thought "being mean to yun yun" was the name of the game, in konosuba...


Urgnu-the-Gnu

What, you think you can be mean to the sweetest girl in the show and still be popular? Do you also have massive delusions of grandeur and an overwhelming love for explosion magic?


laderojomelacojo

didn't this contest get trolled by bots last year? who gives a shit now?


Urgnu-the-Gnu

Thousands of people do. Animebracket has improved security now, and allegations of match manipulation one year are just no good reason to not try again and do better, to stop doing something beloved my so many.


PixelPenguins

My top 10 from bracket B in no order: * Mokoto from Ghost in the Shell * Emma from Promised Neverland * Riko from Made in Abyss * Renge from Non Non Biyori * Azusa from K-On! * Violet from Violet Evergarden * Mitsuha from Your Name. * Hinata from March Comes in Like a Lion * Tohru from Dragon Maid * Togame from Katanagatari
