There you have it, nothing complex here. This is my best educated guess as to how the tournament will turn out. This is uninfluenced by my own preference, just what my analysis tells me. I predict a weaker-than-expected campaign from Saki: Achiga-hen — quantity does not equal quality. Oftentimes, it’s the opposite. The original series was thunder and lightning, but then wilted in the quarterfinals. I don’t believe that a weaker season can do better. Nisemonogatari will disappoint, but the Fire Sisters and Hitagi should at least make group semis. Fate/Zero should prove solid, but nowhere close to being a legitimate threat. Yuru Yuri will be strong, and should be a threat deep in the tournament despite Yui getting upset by Karen. Nagi is probably one of the more outlandish picks for Group D, but I don’t see Mihoko getting to top 8. I can’t really predict a champion without seeing the quarterfinals pairings, but Meat, Chitanda, and Akari are the strongest candidates. (more…)
