Currently on-going is the 2007 SaiMoe Tournament. For those who have never heard of it, it's a tournament that pits "moe" characters (simply put, pretty female characters, though the Japanese dictionary refers to it as somebody you can be infatuated with) from various current and recent anime against each other in a battle of popularity. The battle is decided by votes from fans. It's a serious tournament with very strict rules. Anime moe = serious business. D:

Anyway the latest results as of right now pits Shana from Shakugan no Shana against Sanzen'in Nagi from Hayate no Gotoku, in the finals for the A block (there are 8 blocks, A-H). Ironically, both are voiced by the same actress. I was afraid this match-up would come, when I saw Nagi in the list of semi-finalists on the right side of A block. I personally like Nagi. She's one of my favorite characters in Hayate no Gotoku. She's my favorite female character (so far) anyway. Though I'm worried that she might lose because a lot of people certainly like Shana, as Shana has her own following. I've never heard of Nagi fanboys, like a Nagi imageboard or something, while Shana has a few. But I guess we'll leave it up to the voters. :D

Another current match-up that has not yet been decided is Eruruu (Utawarerumono) versus Sayuri (Kanon), which is also a tough battle. Meanwhile Kagami from Lucky Star lost to Rena from Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni in D block, while Konata, also of Lucky Star, defeated Isumi of Hayate no Gotoku to move on to the finals in B block.
