Fate Testarossa (Mahō Shōjo Lyrical Nanoha, 4 pts)
vs. Kanzaki Kaori (Toaru Majutsu no Index, 0 pts)
vs. Kōsaka Kirino (Ore no Imōto, 4 pts)This is one match that many of our voters cannot miss. Despite the lack of material for her, Fate Testarossa came out with a very impressive score over her two opponents, having the second highest voting score from the group. The 2008 tiara maiden proved her worth in ISML and showed that she will not back down any challenge. What Fate may have to look out for is Kōsaka Kirino, who is not only second from the nomination list but also the one with the highest vote count of their group. With the high heat and momentum coming from this cute little sister, Kirino sends out the message that she is ready for anything to come after her in ISML. One should not forget about Kanzaki Kaori, the one who lurks far away and is ready to strike at any given moment. With an interesting
Toaru Majutsu no Index heat wave coming from the previous round, Kaori may be able to ride on the wave and scare a major win for her series. When all the magic, swords, and visual novels come to a halt, which one of these girls will preside over the two?


Furukawa Nagisa (CLANNAD, 4 pts) vs. Shiina (Angel Beats!, 2 pts)
vs. Suiseiseki (Rozen Maiden, 4 pts)A close-call win for Nagisa means that she is now one step closer to be one of the first sixteen people to make it to the Regular Season. The Dango Daikazoku fan is willing to do her very best to have fun with her friends in ISML. Even so, Suiseiseki does not wish to be out of the loop just yet. With an impressive win from her rival and a newcomer, Suiseiseki is working to regain the strength that her series had two years ago. Although these two girls are fighting for right to quickly gain a spot this year, maybe they should not ignore Shiina. With an impressive win from her comrade-in-arms Iwasawa Asami two days ago, maybe it is about time for Shiina to unleash her true strength in this match. When this match is over, will our voters receive drawings of dangos, cute robotic animals, or plants and roses?
