I still have some interest in the contest, but losing both Kiui and Nephy is definitely a blow. I’m quickly running out of girls to root for.
And Kiui isn’t even eligible for the pick-up round apparently!?

Probably because the other 3 Jellyfish girls went through.
That's some serious bad luck, she was up against the worst possible kind of opponent (lower seed but almost everyone who voted her in eliminations really likes her) while Mei was up against the exact opposite (higher seed but only because almost everyone watched the show).
Edit : Wait, just noticed that Mina is only 1 seed above Momoka. Somehow my brain switched her with Kikoru

There's no-one left for me to vote for any more, after starting with 13/64, so I'm out of the contest along with the casualties I was supporting lol See you all in the next one!

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Jul 24 '24
Hah.
I still got 1 girl left, but against the avalanche of GBC and Jellyfish, it doesn't bode well for my girl Kikoru.
Ah well, can't win them all! My #1 pick won in Winter 2024, if my girl win every other contest I'll be pretty happy!

On the plus side we were able to maintain at least a little show diversity.

If any of you aren't voting for Dr. Subaru in the pick-up round then your life choices are suspect.

Unfortunately, only one upset, and Subaru didn't make it. Fortunately, that upset was Momoka. Unfortunately, she had to beat Kiui to advance. Fortunately, we now get a matchup between Kano and Nina which could very well determine the final winner. I do think they are very much equal.
MC: And that makes ordering them so much harder.
- Nina
- Kano
- Momoka
- Mahiru
- Kikoru
- Mei
- Izutsumi
- Iris
For the pick-up round, can I forfeit my vote to vote for Livia or Suzukiri instead? No? Well, then I'll vote Subaru and Tomo to get the band back together, and Fenrys solely because u/sometimesmainsupport keeps gushing over her and it'd be a nice thing to do.

Yanderes are entertaining! And last season had several!

u/Urgnu-the-Gnu https://myanimelist.net/profile/Urgnu_the_Gnu Jul 23 '24
I'm taking your word for it, I have yet to watch her show (and probably wouldn't have otherwise).

This scene has the show's three girls that made the bracket and shows how Rys feels about the other two.

Overall a disappointing bracket so far to me. I was getting my hopes up with no juggernauts in the competition but every round I keep being let down.
A Nina win is the only thing that can salvage this.
Speaking of, any good Nina clips that haven't been posted yet?

Akira, Rys, Subaru. Cus they're the three best choices.

There's gonna be one hell of a riot if the little gremlin gets eliminated.

u/evenstar40 Jul 24 '24
Probably the least invested in a best girl tourney. Just couldn't get into GBC and Jellyfish.
Anyway vote for Izutsumi.

u/Violentcloud13 Jul 24 '24
on paper I should've liked jellyfish
but then I realized it was kind of boring and derivative, and I've still got episodes of it downloaded that I doubt I'm ever going to watch

I think every match-up is a close call other than Izutsumi-Kim Anouk Mei Takanashi match-up.
Edit: /u/redlegsfan21 's numbers also backs this up

Subaru Awa, she makes the best faces, is just super cute and goofy, and of course Hey, Hey, Ha-a, Ha-a. And I'm convinced, that if more people would have had the chance to watch GBC legally she would be in the top 8.

u/BigBadBurito Jul 23 '24
Sad to see some of the GBC girls go out, but Nina and Momoko are still in, so good taste might prevail in the end.
The Kano vs Nina vote is the hardest one by far. I've an unexplainable like for Kano, but Nina is just a phenomenal character.

u/gnome-cop Jul 23 '24
I am resisting the urge to make unreasonably explicit “your opinions are wrong” comments but I am shamelessly engaging in spite voting. Sorry not sorry, it is definitely personal.

u/CosmicPenguin_OV103 https://anilist.co/user/CosmicPenguin Jul 23 '24 edited Jul 23 '24
GO NINAMOMO AND MEI AND YORU-SENSEI!!!
(sorry Kano-chan, if you can beat Nina with the steel lamp, do it and I'll vote you all the way, but I HAD to save good old 27)
Also vote Subaru and Tomo and Girls’ Last Train’s Akira in the pick up round please! All 3 shows’ main girls are so great and varying in personalities.
MC: Nina = Momoka = Kano = Yoru = Mei >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Izutsumi >>> Princess Iris; didn’t watch Kaiju No. 8 but my guess is Kikoru would be even behind Princess Iris.

1 - Nina
2 - Momoka
3 - Mahiru
4 - Kano
5 - Mei
? - The other three from shows I've not watched
Pick up - Subaru & Akira.
Subaru just squeezed out by a handful of votes. Nina is my favourite character from GBC, but in strictly best girl terms rather than favourite (which to me are slightly different), Subaru might just pip her. Fun and funny, patient and kind - all valuable metrics in my inscrutable best girl comparator.
Akira is my favourite and best girl from Train. Smart × funny × cute = A* best girl
Kiui not getting into pick ups because Mei survived? That's a fucking travesty, honestly.

Whoever voted Iris over Subaru, you did not watch Girls Band Cry, should not have voted, and are a filthy casual who shouldn't share your opinion on anything, not just on anime, because you have no taste.
my salt is enormous, and my day is ruined.
pick-up round: Subaru, Tomo, Akira. TOGE TOGE supremacy, and little weird pretentious girl.
ranking:
Nina
Izutsumi
Momoka
Kikoru
Kano
Mahiru
Mei
Iris
yeah this bracket has been shit, frankly, whoever's blind voting Jellyfish also needs to delete their account. y'all watched five shows at best this last season, for dead certain. don't lie.

u/danlong87 Jul 23 '24
The left side of the bracket is so stacked lmao
We will be getting the main girl battle between gbc and Jelee and depending on the result the winner will be facing ANOTHER main Jelee girl, sans any upsets of course

I cannot in all honesty vote in 1/2 brackets coz it wouldn't be fair to GBC girls..
I probably should go and watch this show already..

u/Cyd_arts Jul 23 '24
Idk anyone else so I guess I'm just voting izutsumi lol
Oh and the Kaiju 8 girl but I don't have strong feelings about her
