My Prediction
Who will dominate this year? With the White Devil(Nanoha) and the Dolls(Rozen Maiden) gone? Who shall win?
I predict a Kyoani-ruled Arena this time. Mostly it is, but some other challengers are dangerous too.
Top dangers
Haruhi, Yuki and Mikuru has always been danerous every year. As long as they are inside, most character cannot beat them. I duno y but the power of these 3 doesnt fade over the years.
Danger Rate: VERY HIGH
Mio, Yui, Azusa and mayb Ui will be the killing blow to all other old birds in the arena. Yes seriously they are overwhelming every Otaku now. Everyone is into Mio and more Mio. Yui too. I doubt they will lose without reach at least quarter. Unless they meet some strong gals on the way :D.
Danger Rate: Very High
Every gal is dangerous in Clannad. Although i haven finish watching as i m real lazy, i can easily tell u Nagisa and Tomoyo will be ruling af After Story was broadcast.
Danger Rate: Very High
The only non-Kyo-ani worth mention that has the power to stop Kyo-ani. Taiga and Minorin will probably will dominating they Group. Ami might stand a chance, but i really doubt so. They have the power to fight, but if they are pit against the gods above, i have little faith…
Danger Rate: High
