Lucky Star and the esoteric arts of divination collide in this splendid loose recreation of the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck.

And here are the aggregate results for the preliminary groups of Saimoe 2008, from group 6 all the way to 10. I already mentioned beforehand that I would only be doing these in aggregate posts and post on the actual tournament when it finally starts, so yeah. Here we go. Huge thanks to Ando of AnimeSuki for all the results.Group 6 Results1. Yui from Koharu Biyori (415 votes)2. Ai from ARIA The OVA (399 votes)2. Kotegawa Yui from To-LOVE-Ru (399 votes)4.

Fatina from Tower of Druaga ~The Aegis of Uruk~ (312 votes)Just as expected, 5 of my picks got in. Konata was just popularity driven.

I mean, look at the disparity in votes from 3rd to 5th and 5th to 6th. Yuuka got in, good for her.

The article in question is a feature on her [...]
