July 16, 20214 yr Author  Hushkanukia is also through, while Zanmatony didn’t make it. Zanmatony finished 30th with 19 points. Last two entries next.Â
July 16, 20214 yr Author Full Metal Panic & Fullmetal Alchemist I trust I don’t need to explain why I grouped these two shows, which otherwise have nothing to do with each other, together. It’s also a nice unintended (but leaped upon when I realised) coincidence, because it means the first two countries to confirm for this BJSC, Séyetana and Altyr Muunilinst, are the last announced.  I just started watching Full Metal Panic recently, in fact, because of this contest. I chose it for Séyetana because of, well, BABYMETAL, and Full Metal Panic has a very prominent female character Kaname Chidori who I’ve known about without seeing the show for a while, and then I started watching it to see what it’s about. She’s also voiced by the same voice actress who voices Mion and Shion Sonozaki from Higurashi and is... very similar to Mion from what I’ve seen so far, just with blue hair, so instant fave. Fullmetal Alchemist (‘Altyr Muunilinst’? now that’s another coincidence genuinely!) is a well-respected fantasy series that, among other things, makes use of characters named after the seven deadly sins as villains. I chose Lust for ‘Sweet Temptation’ because she was the first anime temptress I could think of.  Is Altyr going to be the final qualifier or have they broken their streak? Meanwhile, have I made it to the final or will I be conducting the final from the sidelines? One in, one out.
July 16, 20214 yr 'Frogbass', similarly to 'Too Shy For Tennis', at least gets credit for being memorable x BABYMETAL to be through or we riot
July 16, 20214 yr Wow, it's either the longest Q streak ending or the rare instance a host is announcing themselves a DNQ!
July 16, 20214 yr Author                                   It’s been a road of resistance (:kink:)… but not a DNQ!! Séyetana is the final qualifier out of 41, and the hosts will have representation in the final. Thank god, I got nervous planning this and I actually knew the result!    Which means Altyr Muunilinst is out, finishing 28th with 30 points.  (sorry John, I chose this pair to be the final one as it was, out of the final miscellaneous bunch, the one where I felt the result would be most unpredictable)Â
July 16, 20214 yr I think Altyr’s was my favourite or second favourite across both semis, I don’t really get that performance at all, it doesn’t sound like a Q streak ending song! :o
July 16, 20214 yr Thrilled to be through!!! Need to check the DNQs against my votes to see how we did this time, a few big highlights made it which is good.
July 16, 20214 yr This went extremely well :o only lost two across both semis! would-be semi 1 votes 12 Q 10 Q 08 Q 07 Q 06 Q 05 Q 04 Q 03 Tartford - Milk Inc. - La Vache 02 Q 01 Q semi 2 votes: 12 Q 10 Q 08 Q 07 Q 06 Q 05 Q 04 Q 03 Q 02 Q 01 Elëdan - JACKIE EXTREME - DIRT Thank you for an excellent presentation tonight, Iz!

July 16, 20214 yr Author What I hope are entirely accurate semi-final scoreboards, they should be but do check of course. Semi Final Horse:  Semi Final Zombie:

July 16, 20214 yr BABYMETAL redemption <3 Once again I am obviously not the kind of person who would ever be a big fan of Altyr's song so I could easily have been way off but I did get DNQ vibes from this one so not really a surprise - a rare moment that a 20+ Q streak comes to an end though! (More impetus to make sure that I do get around to posting the Q streak update to crown our new leader, which is probably not hard to figure out but I'll leave it as a non-spoiler for now anyway xx) From my votes: 12 QUALIFIED 10 QUALIFIED 8 QUALIFIED 7 QUALIFIED 6 QUALIFIED 5 AELANDOR 4 QUALIFIED 3 QUALIFIED 2 QUALIFIED 1 QUALIFIED 11th Elëdan 12th Singerpurear 14th Thelonia 15th Pagasa 19th Mosquetania 23rd Altyr Muunilinst 25th Wholune 27th Zanmatony 29th Numayania 30th Dobago So close to a full house! And from my semi 1 ranking: 3rd FljótavÃk 7th Tartford 10th Utopia 11th Flynnonda 12th Aesthetica 21st Greenfroze 25th Caerfyrddia 27th Harmonica 28th Kluminican Republic 30th Zaminton 31st Ojnoj Not as close, but still pretty good. ~ Has been a fun read again Iz, kudos for the effort once more x looking forward to the final, 16/20 of my top 10 placing songs qualifying so coming to have at least one moderately painful cut from my final votes.
July 16, 20214 yr That would have been a lot of weeb bullshit to wade through just to DNQ so thank the deity of your choice for that xx
July 16, 20214 yr Thanks for the presentation Iz! I really like the inspiration from anime and look forward to the presentation in the finals!
July 16, 20214 yr Only lost one (Fljotavik) so that's very good going, hoping for some great ones from Semi 2 as well. Thanks once again for the great effort Iz, I actually looked up my character by searching 'cat helmet girl anime' and that gave me the result straight away :lol: Always love allocations from pop culture!
July 16, 20214 yr La Vache and RAININ' FELLAS robbed!!  12 - Q 10 - Tartford - Milk Inc. - La Vache 08 - Q 07 - Q 06 - Greenfroze - Todrick Hall - RAININ' FELLAS 05 - Q 04 - Q 03 - Q 02 - Q 01 - Harmonica - Black Atlass - Do For Love
July 16, 20214 yr I was out this evening so just looking at this now. Great news to qualify again. :cheer: Â Five of the songs I voted for didn't qualify, Singerpurear, Wholune, Zanmatony, Eledan and Dobago.
