Yurivision Semi Final 1 – Konoka/Setsuna Vs. Chikane/Himeko

Posted on | June 5, 2007 | 75 Comments |

The last semi final place is taken by Saber and Rin of Fate/Stay Night!

Now we’re getting down to business!

Welcome back to the semi finals of the Yurivision snog contest! The contestants have been whittled down to just 4 of the very elite of yuri snoggers but only one pair can win to become the yurivision snog champion of the world! Each semi final will last for two days instead of the previous rounds’ one (to get more votes and to allow me time to make up the next semi final post ^_^) so vote hard and vote well people

May the best couple…err…get to have hot yuri secks afterwards. ^_^;;

They breezed through their heat with flying colours, but struggled a little in the quarters to secure a surprise win over competition favourites Shizuru and Natsuki – it’s Konoka and Setsuna from Negima!

This couple have been a constant crowd pleaser and have surprised us by getting through the heats and quarters without breaking even a sweat (well, apart from the sheen of sweat signifying true yurilove, anyway ^_^) – it’s Kannazuki no Miko’s Chikane and Himeko!

Voting ends 0000 BST on 6th June!

    Well, hell. I seem to be picking a lot of losing ponies (or pony-tails, anyway) during this contest. Le sigh.

  2. AmexYohko
    June 5th, 2007 @ 1:24 am

    I choose Chikane x Himeko because it has story to support their pairing.

    I have no comment on other pairing in this round.

    Konosetsu baby! You 2 can win!

    June 5th, 2007 @ 2:14 am

    Lol, unlike, AmexYohko, I picked Konosetsu for the opposite reason. Subtext is always lots of fun. And also I really don’t like Kannaduki No Miko. But that’s just me XD

    Noooo, I misclicked and accidentally voted KnM… :’(
    Gomen ne, KonoSetsu.

    Oh i hope this doesnt end up tie lol…! And I chose Konoka/Setsuna
    because there so cute together. Subtext kills me ^_^.

    wow, 50/50! chikane/himeko FTW!!!

  12. mad_munky838
    June 5th, 2007 @ 6:08 am

    Woah, it’s 50-50 again at 169 votes!! This is going to be close ^_^.

    Chikane/Himeko all the way!!!

  13. Huntress
    June 5th, 2007 @ 6:30 am

    Konosetsu is not really subtext, what with all the peeking by Secchan in the Shaft version. :P

    Go Konosetsu!

  14. Mei
    June 5th, 2007 @ 6:44 am

    I think the fact that these two couples are very similar in relationship is pretty ironic. Voting Konosetsu though; underdogs FTW!

  15. Splitter
    June 5th, 2007 @ 6:49 am

    I gave the samurai and the princess my votes. Voting for the underdogs gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling ^^

    June 5th, 2007 @ 7:04 am

    Ohhhh! This is the toughest round yet and it was a difficult decision, but I bumped Chikane/Himeko into the lead 51/49. I find the closeness of this race amazing after 194 votes!

  17. MisterX
    June 5th, 2007 @ 7:56 am

    sad that Yoru/Soi didnt make it trough.. and Konosetsu is behind by 1%! :(

  18. Jet
    June 5th, 2007 @ 7:58 am

    Ooo 50/50 at 201 votes, voted for Konoka

  19. Haruchin
    June 5th, 2007 @ 8:55 am

    KonoSetsu ftw. This is fact. Still incredibly close at 222 votes, though our favourite samurai and her ojousama are just edging into the lead with 52%.

    Akamatsu-sensei, take the hint and make ‘em canon now! Canon lip-locking cannot be far away, surely?!

  20. Akakori
    June 5th, 2007 @ 11:49 am

    Noooo, Chikane/Himeko are slowly slipping. Say it isn’t so.

  21. Chilipop
    June 5th, 2007 @ 3:19 pm

    Konosetsu slightly ahead at 51/49 with 336 votes.

    XD

  22. DarknessFalls
    June 5th, 2007 @ 4:00 pm

    hah, KnM and Konosetsu r tied 50/50 again with 356 votes xD.

  23. isok
    June 5th, 2007 @ 6:35 pm

    What?! Konosetsu leads 54-46 with 446 votes given! Considering I can’t think of hotter yuri pair than Chikane and Himeko either the world doesn’t know what’s good for it or I should really check out Negima. Probably both.

  24. Jessie
    June 5th, 2007 @ 6:49 pm

    KonoSetsu are the best! ^__^

    This is exciting. Gooooooooooooo Konosetsu.

  27. mad_munky838
    June 6th, 2007 @ 12:05 am

    50/50 once again at 555 votes! Sure, Konoka and Setsuna are cute, but you can’t deny the true yurilove between Himeko and Chikane^^

  28. Evangeline-sama
    June 6th, 2007 @ 12:09 am

    GO KONOSETSU!!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT~!

  29. heavens lolipop
    June 6th, 2007 @ 12:37 am

    how is this possible that its still 50/50…………..

    sounds fishy, but oh well

  30. W00t1337
    June 6th, 2007 @ 1:35 am

    Oh come on! Chikane and Himeko have so much more emotion and deeper connection to each other! KonoSec is just Akamatsu’s ATTEMPT at yuri humor. theres no way the two mages can beat our favorite and intertwined mikos!!!

  31. Akatsuki
    June 6th, 2007 @ 1:40 am

    COME on CHikane and Himeko! call Ame no Murakumo! or the Orochi! just show em who’re the godesses of Yuri!

  32. ShannonElphie
    June 6th, 2007 @ 1:42 am

    I agree with jonyamikun. Chikane CANNOT lose. I won’t be able to deal…

  33. kaei
    June 6th, 2007 @ 2:17 am

    OMG! This poll needs to end now, NOW! I’ve been watching the numbers climb all day and this is like the only time I’ve seen it favourable for Chikane/Himeko, the only actual pair remaining in the top 4 with ACTUAL romance between the two in the story. How come subtext can beat real emotion???

  34. ShannonElphie
    June 6th, 2007 @ 2:31 am

    AGREED on all points, kaei!

  35. taene
    June 6th, 2007 @ 2:38 am

    GOOOO Chikane/Himeko!!! You can’t lose!!

  36. Two-Hands Revy
    June 6th, 2007 @ 3:21 am

    NEGIMA COUPLE!! I love both. But there’s a cuteness to Konoka and Setsuna have that Himeko and Chikane lack.

  37. Akatsuki
    June 6th, 2007 @ 3:35 am

    two hands, u think “cute” determines Yuri? come on now, then sakura and tomoya kicks the negima duo’s butts. Theu cuteness in KonoSetsu reminds me of middle/high school INFATUATIONS with other girls, powerful cuz they only interact with girls. on the other hand, Chikane and Himeko have had experience with both men and women, and they decided for themselves. plus they could always destroy the neigma two with giant robots.

    plus, how many Yuri couple always get reborn as eternal lovers? the artworks for KnM tramples that of Negima.

  38. kaei
    June 6th, 2007 @ 3:52 am

    Cute is … cute. But sexy is HOT.

    KonoSetsu all the way!

  41. Jessie
    June 6th, 2007 @ 11:34 am

    KonoSetsu ’till the end!!!
    Chikane and Himeko are a great couple, but the relationship Konoka and Setsuna have is much deeper!

  42. jonyamikun
    June 6th, 2007 @ 12:06 pm

    Jessie lies! ChikanexHimeko is far deeper. How much deeper can a eternally reborn yuri coupling get? GO CHIKANEXHIMEKO WIN WIN WIN~~!!!!

  43. kaei
    June 6th, 2007 @ 1:25 pm

    @ShannonElphie: *high-five*

    @Mei: From the popularity for Kono/Setsu and Nanoha/Fate, I’d cute sells too ;)

    @Jessie: Okay, here’s the part where I admit I haven’t seen Negima so I don’t know how deep they are to compare. Chikane/Himeko are deep because … actually, how do I use spoiler tags? Grrr. Okay, being as vague as possible, Chikane sells her soul to the devil to save her love.

  44. Moon
    June 6th, 2007 @ 3:30 pm

    ya… fine. i choose Konoka/Setsuna

    jonyamikun URUSAI!

    Konoka and Setsuna knows each other from a very young age, unlike Chikane and Himeko.

  47. Akhts
    June 6th, 2007 @ 6:32 pm

    I vote for KonoSetsu, definitly, because I do love this couple and that’s all…

  48. Akatsuki
    June 6th, 2007 @ 8:30 pm

    What the heck? KonoSetsu are the deeper couple? NO WAY? just several years in one lifetime? heck CHikane and Himeko have loved each other through many lives.

    Konoka and Setsuna knows each other from a young age huh, well when Chikane and Himeko first met each other, the two negima girls’ grandparents prolly havnt met yet.

  49. mad_munky838
    June 6th, 2007 @ 8:55 pm

    Gotta agree with Akatsuki, there is NOTHING in term of actual relationship between Konoka and Setsuna, it’s just an one sided infatuation. Cute+loli+moe doesn’t equal to a good yuri couple, which are all the reasons that people have when voting for Konoka/Setsuna.

  50. SoniHime
    June 6th, 2007 @ 11:15 pm

    Chikane X Himeko Rulz !!! Chikane sama, don’t allow them to stand between you and Himeko again !!! You have the right to be reunited

  51. ShannonElphie
    June 6th, 2007 @ 11:42 pm

    June 6th, 2007 @ 11:58 pm

    Just FYI – I was late in stopping the poll, but I didn’t count the 9 votes cast after midnight.

  55. Jessie
    June 7th, 2007 @ 12:17 am

    THEY WON! THEY WON! ^__^ KONOSETSU WON! ^__^

  56. Haruchin
    June 7th, 2007 @ 12:27 am

    HOT DAMN! KonoSetsu take it! ^_^

    Still haven’t watched KnM, but just want to say at this stage, I’m sure they’re a cracking yuri couple. That’s what good competition is about – two couples that are both worthy of the prize coming up against each other. As it were. Ahem.

    In any case, no need for bashing, eh, folks? Shall we not keep this as positive as possible? I hate to check in and find that people have been resorting to negative campaigns. After all, there’s so much goodness to celebrate, so why go to the dark side? ^_^

    >Who is organizing this attack…?

    That would be me :p
    ‘Attack’, geez, what a way to put it. All I did was publicise the poll in the right place. Almost left it too late as well. 3 votes :D

  59. mad_munky838
    June 7th, 2007 @ 12:52 am

    My guess is that more people have actually seen Negima than KnM. And then there is probably the spamming of this poll in various Negima forums. *sign*

  60. u101
    June 7th, 2007 @ 1:50 am

    Spamming the poll everywhere is not enough. You need people who are willing to read it, who can read it (are right now in the net) and who are willing to react accordingly.
    To get ca. 70 votes in the very last hour of vote and swing from 46% to 51%… I’m sorry that I’m not so naive anymore :)

  61. Huntress
    June 7th, 2007 @ 3:26 am

    Chikane/Himeko have been a great opponent. ^.^
    To be honest I was expecting them to win instead of Konosetsu, but it’s still all good. :D

    I might even go watch Kannazuki no Miko now..:D

  62. Jessie
    June 7th, 2007 @ 7:35 am

  63. drivebyposter
    June 7th, 2007 @ 6:03 pm

    u101: if you’re implying that I’d cheat fellow yuri fans like that, shame on you. This is a poll for fun, not profit.

    >Spamming the poll everywhere is not enough. You need people who are willing to read it, who can read it (are right now in the net) and who are willing to react accordingly.

    Yep. Yes, you do.

  64. ShannonElphie
    June 7th, 2007 @ 9:21 pm

    I myself find it a LITTLE hard to believe that you waited until the last half hour to have everyone vote, drivebyposter… It’s just a little far-fetched that you took a chance like that with so little time left to promote the poll to some online community.

  65. u101
    June 7th, 2007 @ 11:48 pm

    drivebyposter, I don’t imply that *you* did it… but again, what’s the difference who. This poll voting system is flawed and practically anybody can cheat anytime if only know how to do it. Even if 99.9% of fans are honest (in what I believe) the single one black sheep is enough to ruin everything.
    BTW, may I ask where is this magic place which is so konosetsu-centered that was able to provide (as you are claiming) these 70 votes in just less than one hour?

  66. Jessie
    June 8th, 2007 @ 12:18 am

    ^ I’d like to know that too, So I could thank them lol :P

  67. drivebyposter
    June 8th, 2007 @ 5:33 am

    >drivebyposter, I don’t imply that *you* did it

    I rather think that that is exactly what you’re implying. And guess what? I do not have to justify nor explain myself to either of you. Especially since I don’t think you’d be kicking up this much of a fuss if the votes had been dropped in the other camp.

  68. yuribou
    June 8th, 2007 @ 8:03 am

    Please don’t turn this into a flame war people – with my limited knowledge of IP addresses and recent visitor statistics, I can’t tell for certain whether there was IP spam on either of the sides. Therefore the result stands.

    However, I too would like to know where this online community is that you posted to, drivebyposter – perhaps you could drop me an email (ixthedamned [at] gmail.com).

    Know that not responding may damage your case…

    June 8th, 2007 @ 4:17 pm

    drivebyposter: Absolved of all crimes – not that he committed any in the first place. Just for the readers information Konosetsu’s win stands.

    That is all

    Ok, so where is this place then? I am – and probably many other voters – still interested…

  72. Jessie
    June 8th, 2007 @ 6:10 pm

    I still want to know :P
    If there’s a big KonoSetsu community out there I’d like to join it ^^
    drivebyposter, if you may send me the URL on e-mail too, I’d look forward to hear from you! ^^

    KonoSetsu!!! And they aren’t really subtext, due to the inordinate amount of time Akamatsu is spending on developing their relationship.
