Yeah, the reason why I believe Seimei will appear for NY 2019 is because the rate-up pattern usually goes like this.


 * Anniversary goes to Chaldea Staffs; additional thought: Chaldea Staffs usually Arts, viable for long time that you'll hardly experiencing them to get powercreeped.


 * Summer goes to popular female (so far), the theme is decided by DW and TM. General rule seems to be Limited SSR and SR-only.


 * Halloween is always welfare + New SSR, can be "Limited" (Cleo) or not (Tamamo, Hime); additional thought: 2018 Halloween SSR might be someone related to Cleo if Tamamo and Hime can be considered as "he/she is someone known by others" pattern given how Halloween related for each years.


 * Christmas rate-up seems going to story-related female Servant featured on latest singularity; most likely Limited. 2016 had Ishtar and 2017 had Eresh; Abigail not getting the spot as she's already featured on Salem (so Sheba is not alone, LOL, after all stories is still under TM judgement).


 * NY Eve can be said as trip-to-hell gachas. Featuring not only guaranteed SSR gacha, but also favorites, and characters that canonically strong and potentially carrying your team. Solomon, if he ever returns, most likely goes here despite Romani being Chaldea Staffs. Rasputin and Muramasa as well.


 * NY goes to Japanese Helpers, the Japanese allies at some point of stories; additional thought: they will appear at some point of the story on said year, with their power being important aspect regarding stories. With Lostbelt III being China, Hokusai could be there as well as a foreigner.


 * Valentine is (insert new female SSR here)


 * White Day is Arthur (only), seems like DW is struggling on making this event to be female-centric event.
