Saimoe 2008 was the 7th edition of 2channel's annual Anime Saimoe Tournament. The nominations began in 2008 June 23, while the main bracket ran from August 18 until November 2. Rika Furude from Higurashi Kai (July-December 2007) was the defending champion, but was eliminated in round 2 when she placed second behind Haruka Minami, the eldest sister from Minami-ke, by just one vote. In the wake of Rika's loss, her groupmate Hanyuu emerged as the longest-surviving Higurashi girl when she lasted until the fourth round.

The championship was won by Lucky Star's Kagami Hiiragi after defeating twin sibling Tsukasa Hiiragi in the final, which became the second such match in J-Saimoe history to be contested from the same series - and also between siblings, after Rosemary and Nadja Applefield in 2004. Like most editions, the final was met with mixed reception from fans, as the circumstances that led to the twins contesting the title match was mainly believed to be influenced by proxy votes and participants outside Japan.
