Haika

I voted for Sabre here. Though I agree, I still like Rin more.

Nah, this is easy for me. Mashiro, Sabre, Arcueid, and Saya is my expected votes. Seriously doubt I'll change my mind when the time comes. It's after this round that things become tough if all of those go through. -.- egads.

Hmm, I like long and straight. And usually dark, ponytails are a plus on occasion. I like blues and greens, and blacks for hue colorations. Beyond that, I think there's a limit where hairstyle doesn't matter. Color and Style are bonuses but I don't mind it too much and can like any depending on the heroine. some examples: When I think of hair, I always think of Kiyone from Tenchi Universe. Her hair was awesome amid all the other crazyness. one of my first anime crushes. I also like Lenalee's hair from D-Gray Man. Was horrible when they cut it. In general I dislike heroines who cut their hair... I'm fine with it starting out short at times, but don't cut something that's nice and long in front of me. -.- And then there's Tohsaka. At first I thought the way she was always using her forearm to play with her hair was odd, but it grew on me. I love the character, and her hair isn't exactly striking, but it doesn't hurt her image. And yes, I took this screenshot myself. >.> Google just kept showing Fanhentai in my face. Time and place interwebs... time and place.

Ugh, after all that and Lilly lost. XD Oh well, Mashiro gets the vote here.

http://twinvulcan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/spidery-2.jpg Ok fine, some random spiderman is good. Can you imagine working in this building and seeing this? XD

I'm with OneManArmy on this one. Makes me kind of sad that someone played through that game with this outlook. But anyway, we are far off topic, and random spiderman isn't helping. XD Lilly needs to win darnit, I don't know who the 2 color eye girl is, I seem to remember her from something, but don't think I've played her game. And now that Lilly has votes, I want her to win darnit. At least this prelim. Funny how I didn't think she could stand up to internet populars like Harui and Hinata and they aren't even in the fight.

Maybe you should go back and play it again. Because you seem to have missed the whole point of trying to see these girls as 'normal'. Sure the draw may be their disabilities, but I for one think that a major part of the novel was realizing that the girls are more than that. Yes, a couple of the sex scenes were... odd. But that happens in any VN. I don't think they were just thrown in randomly as you seem to put it either.

You didn't like Lilly's H-scenes? I thought they were quite sweet. The idea of tactile touch vs visual input was something to think about as well...

Really? This slow ass tune is the video of her work you post? XD I mean on youtube her name is lindseystomp, STOMP, and she can barely move her legs in that dress. XD I've been a fan of Lindsey for a while. But this LOTR tune... eh. No. She's far better, rocking out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h1OclVl8I8 The urban rocker chick look is quite hot.

Yuri art you say? Something like this perhaps: [ATTACH=CONFIG]2349[/ATTACH] Also I've never read the K-On Manga. But I did enjoy the series, the music was quite good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dhe2bHvmgg

Yeah, we are VN fans here for the most part. And Lilly is just... well yeah. I even voted for her, and I nominated Hinata. I love hinata... but Lilly is better. I didn't make my sig using her for just a whim. To use a SAT analogy. Lilly is to Haika as Mashiro is to OneManArmy... though I'm a bit less crazed about it I think. Also I agree to the random match things, because a Saya, Sabre, Mashiro, Lilly bracket would just be terrible... -.-

Yeah, I trust this article about as far as I can bench press an elephant. To start, postal workers rifling through mail and reporting manga as child abuse images... ;/ Sounds very fishy. Oh and illegal. Then there's this: 'The US Postal Service later conducted a search of his domicile and found the rest of his collection.' Umm, Since when does the postal service do house searches? 'the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund' Really? REALLY?? ;/ I imagine this is a scare tactic by certain members of the media or interest groups who are obsessed with punishing anyone who even comes close to sexual deviance. Real Rapists and Child Molesters have gotten people so worked up that they will go to extreme lengths to stop anything even remotely like them. It could also just be a joke or a prank, or someone trying to bring to light how people go overboard about certain cultural issues. But I'm sure as hell not going to defend rape or child porn in reality. This article doesn't say what state this all happened in so we can't even check to see if there are specific laws in that state that allow something like this. Usually, there are laws protecting what you own, especially if you aren't publicly showing it to people. Owning pornography for your own personal viewing isn't going to bother anyone, and I doubt there are laws against having it in private. Unless you are trying to run for office, or be a school teacher or some other thing that makes them check such things even then there are privacy laws. Then again if it was drugs they could just charge in any time they wish... Horror cop stories about that I've heard before, with a lot more credibility than this article. No. sorry. I just don't believe this. The only way I could believe this story is if the man involved worked with children, or was seen sulking outside neighbor's homes or schools and the like. Then he's just a creep and cops nailed him on this as a loophole. But I still totally doubt the info stated in the actual article, something like this could happen, but it would be more police and law officials, than postal workers and 'comic book defenders'. And besides, who owns physical porn anymore with the internet around?

mmmm, legs. What? Oh yeah halo is ok too. >.>

Still a month off, but God Bless the USA.

Oh wow, the FINAL nominations? :/ And I need to pick someone who can go up against Haruhi... oi... Guess I can't hold anything back. I nominate Hinata Hyūga from Naruto. edit: aaand I'll probably end up voting for Lilly >.> but do I think she can beat Haruhi and her fanatics... eh. Somehow I doubt it.

Kitsune Goddess powers or whatever does not change the fact she has an innocent moe aspect to her. XD

You mean this wonderful little tune: It's also one of my favorites. Great video too.

Hmm, this is between Mashiro and Horo for me. I think I'll go with Mashiro, not as much for the fact I nominated her, but more for the fact that she has that whole innocence going on. Horo is supposed to be more sexy and blatent, yet she never acts on things. Mashiro at least has the excuse of innocence so her cuteness remains intact and more 'real' if that can be said for a 2d girl.

Rikakimeka - Ok that sounds kinda cool, but very feminine... Not sure why I always get that way. Zukaarimoto - My real life first name is a bit better and sounds so traditionally japanese that I'm impressed with myself.
