Here's a list of the Top 49 nomination getters and how many nominations I've seen for them based on the data I've collected so far:
The data was collected from here and the ISML boards so there's a pretty clear country bias. The sample size (33) is also very small. Despite that, I thought it would be interesting data to look at.
It's nice to see that the fact that everybody knows Mio is a lock to get in hasn't stopped her from taking first place. Saten follows closely behind which is expected. I knew Seitokai No Ichizon characters would have a fair amount of support, but their performance exceeds my expectations. Although Hitagi ranks pretty high, her placement is a bit disappointing. It's not bad, but it doesn't really live up to her hype. Kirino and Yuuko are the highest ranking non-exhibition returners. I like them a lot, but considering how stronger they are, their support is a bit surprising.
There are a couple Umineko entires on the list. Hopefully, the Umineko fanbase doesn't end up spreading their nominations too thin by trying to get the entire female cast in and ending with nobody getting in. They should focus on Beatrice, Bernkastel and Ange to make sure at least those three get in before spreading to Lambdadelta, Maria and the 7 sisters of Purgatory.
I'll see if I can post another update to this later on. If you want your nominations to be counted, be sure to post them in this topic or on the ISML board.
