True , but also consider that average English proficiency level in Hong Kong is much higher compared to China and Taiwan. There are exceptions to my generalization, and perhaps Tomoe Mami is an exception for Hong Kong, just like Sakura Kyouko is an exception for mainland China.

I only used post-preliminary results because 1.) The series did not conclude until around the end of preliminaries and 2.) free for all match ups tend to end up different from what a 1v1 would. But if you check the Madoka character exhibition matches, you'd see that Taiwan tends to vote against Madoka characters quite heavily...Even at times where China votes 65% in favor of a Madoka character, Taiwan is closer to a tie between characters, or even a slight favorite for the opponent...and a couple of them were vs. characters that didn't even make it past nominations, let alone preliminaries or the regular season.

And I also don't understand the connection between language and voting trends, unless you're trying to make a point about Chinese subs or something. |

I guess it is easier to say only 4 countries are really for Homura, USA, Russia, Korea, and Japan. My bias probably is due to the fact that most of what I hear and see is from 3 of the 4 countries listed above.

Well you have places with the majority of the voting population in ISML.
I pointed out the Philippines only because they had the highest precentage against Homura at almost 2/3rds against her. Though I have no idea what precentage of ISML the Philippines would represent.

I don't think the difference proves much. There were other regions with higher voting precentages for Kuroneko, and in any case it's not a significant difference over other regions.
In any case, I think it's best if judgment is reserved for next year, when we can see more performances by Homura with different opponents. As ppaaccoojrf stated, it may simply be that Chinese people like Kuroneko more than Homura. I know that PRC certainly like Saber a lot (38/47 maps in regular seasons), and Taiwan likes their Nadeko too (36/47, which is fairly high once you take the outlier that is Korea out of picture). There is no real point as far as I know. It's no mystery that certain characters command more/less votes from certain regions. Look at Holo or Sora. |

Now for little stat talk. Are we sure we can take out Korea in the discussion for being an outlier when it may sometimes be nation with 3rd or 4th highest vote total ?

That one's good evidence, just not enough given that they're not the only regions to have a majority against her. In fact, those aren't even the highest percentages against her, but then again, I would assume that they still mean more votes than the Philipines and Australia (I don't know though).
-As to what I said earlier in the thread about her performance in Japan, it does seem fine, especially considering her opponent, so never mind.- Quote:
Edit: @wontaek Wouldn't Best Moe's regular (annual?) male moe tournaments have a hand in this? Or it's the other way around and that's what made those tournaments happen in the first place? |

In any case, my point is that it's too soon to claim that China and Taiwan hates Homura with only four or five maps (most of which are not 1v1 to boot), since it's possible that their opponents just garner more support in those regions. |

2. KBM's male tournament started in 2007 as a practice for female division. It just is that Female fan club member's activism and organization is better than male members, which lead to the male tournament being dominated by female voters in the middle of 2007's male tournament. From 2008, KBM male tournament also offered English support. As for the 80%, this should be credited more towards the fervor and organization skills of female anime fans in Korea who spread the word much better and quicker compared to their male counterpart. You can read more about KBM male tournament in the following threads http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...16#post1406516 http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...76#post2166376
