Saimoe, 2ch’s annual tournament to find the most moe character of the past year, has concluded, and the 83,000 votes cast have culminated the a narrow victory of Toradora’s palmtop tiger Taiga Aisaka over K-ON!’s “kawayui” Yui Hirasawa.
The two next most popular where both Saki characters: Nodoka Haramura and Mihoko Fukuji.

Would like to see T8 though as well.
Anyone else been checking on the International Saimoe League?
nuuuuuuuuuuu waaaaiiiiiiii D:
A good choice. I loved the personality of taiga. And she is a loli :3
+ 1000
The moment she went soft when Ryuuji promised to help her to matchmake with Kitamura, I could already foresee her huge chance of becoming a fan favourite.. :3
saimoe is not about moe anymore.
also they live violent annoying bitch tsundere that is not original anymore.
they vote for series, and also have revenge vote for stupid reason.
i've lost respect for them saimoe since they pick rika furude became the winner
NIPA!!!
So Taiga is the most one-dimensional blob-like male fuck toy of the year?
What an honor.
Though Im happy to see K-on looss... I didnt know Taiga was a moe character. I found her more loli and tough, or whats the word, Tsunundre?
If she is loli and "tsunundre", she is moe.
everyone here: slowpoke.jpg
you: goatse.jpg
WHAT?! taiga isn't moe.... shes a pain in the ass!
Those ppl have no taste god damn it!!
Congrats Taiga! Tsundere wins again.
Taiga is my tsundere queen. I don't give a damn about K-on blobs.
Mizore should've won.
oh man not Amae Kodomo i mean Koromo is on the Saimoe.
wait is this real?
Am I just irregular to not have liked any of them?
Ami > Taiga
Mio > Yui
And people actually watched Saki?
Minori > Taiga > Ami
And let's not forget Shinobu from "Love Hina".
:D
i fail to see the moe in either of these two ._.
kurimu sakurano is more moe then both of em combined
Taiga Rules! She's so cute, yet has a real temper.
I watched "Toradora!" and I'm very happy that there will be a second season.
:D
I never really thought Taiga as moe, Yes she has her charm points, but they are much more towards her tsundere-ness not moe-ness.
Yui I never liked. Worst character in K-On and overall a series way over rated. Azu-nyan or Mio I could see, they were much more interesting as well.
Tsundere is moe...
Tsundere-chan is moe. Shitty loli tsundere fails.
let me explain... tsundere is a moe trait. I'm not saying wich character is better, if you like Hitagi more, it's OK, but she is not in saimoe 2009. Good luck next year.
Yeah, Taiga kick the shit out of Yui
Taiga FTW!!!
I just lost all respect for 2ch.
Took you long enough. I've lost all respect for 2ch since Saimoe 2006. Although you have to hand it to them, they have strokes of brilliance once in a great while (but Saimoe is never one of them).
Same.
wtf is moe ? they all look the same to me :S
I like them both, but I like Taiga more.
After looking at both candidates, and the series they come from, I can't help but feel indifferent. The thought of this saimoe being pointless did cross my mind, no hard feelings for those who followed it.
Well, it's just a bunch of votes. Not sure they vote because it's the character they like, or because they hate the other one, or because they just hate this one a little bit less, or just don't care altogether.
And when it comes to popular votes, even One Piece will win over any day. And the same people have voted for Taiga. It's as simple as that.
ummm if you look at the votes picture it clearly shows yui won....
ummm if you look at the votes picture it clearly shows yui won.... yui has 5237 votes and taiga only has 5076
If it were just a matter of totaling votes, one round would suffice.
Taiga had 1332 vs Yui's 1278 in their match. Taiga wins.
Total number of votes depends on the opponents in different matches. If it is an easy win, many more busy people won't bother to vote. If it will be a tight race, they get out and vote (sometimes many times).
Whoever wins the final championship round wins the tournament. Clear an simple? Understand that Yui did not win now?
Yui's more befitting the title, being annoyingly vapid and cutesy, but Taiga is the much better character, being, you know, actually interesting.
TAIGA DID NOT WIN THIS!!! I REPEAT TAIGA DI NOT WIN THIS!!!!
You guys should know that Korea invaded this tournament right at the end ruined it. Yui actually won had it not been for the Koreans voting nearly 3 to 1 for Taiga and adding another 400 votes to the total.
This was posted by a 2ch mod from the tournament. It shows the voting demographic of the 3 major countries that voted in this tournament. Japan, USA, and Korea. You'll notice a VERY big difference in the Korean voting results.
Japan: 920 Yui, 817 Taiga
USA: 177 Yui, 125
Korea: 154 Yui, 336 Taiga
Other countries: 104
So?
Its not that Korea is not welcome to join the poll
because Koreans are inferior
Go back to 4chan with your shitty trolling.
this is not a troll. It was actually posted AND CONFIRMED on 2ch several times.
A large group of Koreans even admitted to "invading" the final 3 matches to "ruin it for the Japanese."
Its funny how you dont have links or anything supporting your claim and you post the exact same shit the faggot troll on 4chan did.
just like 4chan, 2ch threads only last for so long.
Like 2ch cares.
I fail to understand the love for Tsundere's.
Shana,Taiga,Louise...Same shit, different anime.
I guess everyone loves loud bitches with small tits.
Taiga! Sorry ya'll. I like my petite big eyed lolis with a fiery temper and a fragile heart. I wish I could lick her tears. ;3 Ho!
I think that SHINJI IKARI SHOULD WIN CUZ HE'S DREeMY
Taiga shouldnt be win because she is not cute anime girl and also she is meaner.
Yui or Saki should win or Nodoka.
Saimoe is shit and you're all retards.
Like /a/tards with the mind of Gaia-kids.
Being honest the voice of Taiga is very shrill, Rie voice is annoyin as hell, and her character, very archetypic so I go for Yui that, a bit retarded but cute, Yui.
TAIGA! TAIGA!
go die! Taiga is not cute anime girl.
Yui is the best.
Bull. Taiga is way better than Yui.
Taiga deserved to win.
DAMN THE VOTERS!!!!!!! I'D VOTE FOR YUI IF I COULD!!!!! EVEN THOUGH I LIKE TAIGA, BUT COMPARE TO YUI, I'D PREFER HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :@ DAMN! NOT MY DAY!
Time for the Toradora spinoff to get it's own anime series.
My predicition for 2010 Saimoe will be:
Senjougahara (Bakemonogatari) vs Next-Generic-Moeblob female (99% probability that it will be by Kyoani)
hitagi? she's awesome not moe... perhaps nadeko...
A retarded moeblob versus a midget bitch.
Fuck Saimoe.
YEAH!!!
TAIGA RLZ!!!
Taiga-sama I will always support you on!
What can I say?
Anime fan likes Tsundere
Taiga is overrated. Nodoka is far superior. Saimoe is failing me again!!!
And Mio is superior too.
Well, Im going to sulk in that corner for a while...
I sense a HUGE screw-up in yui's photoshop in the first image -_-
Its probably the reason why yui lost.
Wow theirs so much butt hurt going on.
was actually surprised mio didnt make it very far
Given her inexplicable popularity, it is rather amazing.
i heard the voters made a scheme to eliminate as much K-on characters as possible.. at least the one who beat Mio is fairly an awesome character: Minami Kana.
I totally LMAO'd when Mio lost. Just according to keikaku!
FUK YEA TAIGA!!
just wonder... how about minorin vs yui...
MINORIIIIN!!!
Taiga also won Korea Best Moe, so she's had a hell of a year.
Cements the fact Japanese otakus all like violent bitches.
Taiga ftw!!!!!
Every year, the saimoe contest alway seem to make me realize only loli can win.
My favorite character never win...
as a man who liked Toradora better, Taiga ftw
Bloomers = Auto win
That's cheating!
Wow...that shit of moe-blob anime lose in the Saimoe tournament?
Man...I LOVE the result XD...Taiga is way better than any K-ON character.
so ur butthurt is healed now? i'm happy for that...
I like Taiga too, but i prefer Chii of the Chobits anime... ^^
because you can do things to her that she will not understand which makes you feel more like the protagonist.
Yui K-OWNED!
That's why K-ON SUCKS BIG TIME!
No point crying that loud, sir. She's still no.2 out of hundreds of other characters in the tournament.
butthurt seeing yui K-OWNED your favorite charas, sir?
Sir, please stay away from the keyboard.
Your retarded unfunny comments doesn't hurt.
GTFO
OH! another one! cry moar pleaseee~~~
if it doesnt hurt then stop crying XD
hahahahahahahaha...
you got pwnd!!!
Wow, Yui made out to the second place? Pretty surprised, i thought all the K-ON! girls including Mio were eliminated in the first round.. Not saying that i'm against this, of course. Didn't like this year's though, Airi, Nogami Aoi and other awesome underrated girls got voted out too early >:(
Anyway, congrats Taiga :3
Oh wait, i think see my dearly Hiyorin in Yui's Defeat list..
Must rage or not....?
Must rage or not......?
Must rage or not.......?
Must rage or not.........?
I'm surprised to see that Yui lost. She has my vote, I'll take her anytime!
Yes, but you're a moeblob fag with Mio as an avie.
congratulations Taiga you are the best
Taiga deserved to win. Not only is she more moe but she comes from a better show and is a better character. K-ON is such a shitty show. One of the worst. Why so many people are stupid enough to like it is beyond me.
I'll say the final 2 is light years better than last year. I'm fine with Kagami getting the first spot but HELL! How the heck could Tsukasa become the first runner-up!? I'll take Yui over her any day, at least she showed SOME differences and development throughout the 13 episodes.
Yui and Tsukasa are still very similar though.
Both are airheads, but i sorta prefer Yui for being a little aggressive..
... DONT YOU MOCK TSUKASA.
Agreed, all my favorite characters in series always get the short end of the stick.
(There is not even a single figure of Ayano in any form, she is the only character in the series that has absolutely no figures of herself at all.)
I'll stop mocking her only until Hiyorin finally won a Saimoe tourn and KyoAni stopped doing the background characters treatment on Misao (as well as The Forgotten Ayano).
I will not say K-on is shity(their are far worst shows out there) but taiga has my vote ^^,
of course they're beyond you. coz u are stupider.
Agreed, I don't get why K-On is so loved.
Because people love fluffy moe pure hearted goodness that oozes warmth into the heart and power into the penis.
Personal experience.
+1
AAHAHHAHAAAHAHA! yeah it's true.
whatever floats your boat
Which is? His gassy balls?
Pardon?
I sense trolls in the forest!!
I've to agree with you about K-ON but sadly Toradora was no better.
fuck you... toradora was epic<3
epic fail
