Hmm, at the moment I'd say Nao.. though I like Irina, Erstin and Tomoe too.
And I agree, Shizuru and Natsuki don't impress me that much either.. (Kaichou-san was so much more cute >_<)

Orenji · 2006-01-31, 09:13

1. Shizuru
2. Nao
3. Mashiro
4. Arika
5. Natsuki

It's almost a tie between Shizuru and Nao... I voted for Shizuru. Don't really know why I like them though... I just do. ^^

Tremalkinger · 2006-01-31, 09:31

o_O How is it possible that Nao is beating Shizuru?

I mean... I voted for Nao, and I love her to death, but... its Shizuru. I figured she'd be a landslide victor.

I think you answered your own question ^_^

Nah I think Shizuru is going to suffer from a double-sided sword - there is an obvious massive following for the character but (she's also hated by a few and) she also has a few drawbacks in her Otome-role. Shizuru is going to be a character who is very much viewed against her HiME-counterpart (and I suppose the same is true for Natsuki and Mai)

I agree with Juju that there seems to have been a 'cramming' of ShizNat near the beginning, and then last few episodes have been kinda sparse of giving them any real integration with the rest of the characters. I was very disappointed with the brief Miyu and Shizuru one..

In the case of Nao, well she's 'cool' but we also know more about what makes her tick, and she's able to integrate with both older adults and the corals which virtually all the other charactes aren't able to do.

Anyway this sort of thing is very dependent on the latest proceedings. For instance, if Natsuki and Midori absolutely kicks ass next episode and show a side to them we've never seen before, thus pulling our support and emotional strings - then I think their votes may increase. Obviously.

EDIT: I voted for Shizuru heh, simply as I've been close to dropping Otome a few times and I stuck around for the character. Each for their own preference I guess.

Matrim · 2006-01-31, 10:14

Yes, Nao is leading! I didn't expect that but I won't complain. Go Nao!

wombatlord · 2006-01-31, 10:14

I voted for Erstin, as she is extremely huggable and kind. AND RUNS LIKE THE WIND.

Obsidian penguin · 2006-01-31, 11:04

Nao.
Openly calling Shiho "Spiral".
And I like her pragmatism.

Glass Cannon · 2006-01-31, 11:25

Can't...vote...

I'm gonna wait a while XD; It's too hard to choose o_o And how could I forget about Nao??? Dang it, I was having a hard enough time choosing between Shizuru and Natsuki, now with Nao there again... this could take a while.... lol.

Fiery Miko · 2006-01-31, 11:31

My favorites are Natsuki and Shizuru, but if I were to choose who I liked the best out of the two, I would pick Shizuru. I absolutely <3 her.

felix · 2006-01-31, 15:59

1. Nina - princces of kickass
2. Arika
3. Natsuki
4. Mashiro

Redeem · 2006-01-31, 17:33

1. Shizuru
2. Natsuki
3. Nao
(Three Pillars Rlz)
4. Nina
5. Arika

Tempest35 · 2006-01-31, 20:24

'Defender of the Spikey Hairpuffs' will do it too in my opinion...^^

I got Sergay down as my fave - but it's close between him and Natsuki. Darn, I want more attention put to the fight scenes...but this is Sunrise. *sigh*

MattAlchemy · 2006-01-31, 21:38

I know why Irina isn't voted much. She is funny, but she's not active much.

Soletta · 2006-01-31, 23:13

Shizuru is BEST!

djmaca · 2006-01-31, 23:31

What! Nao is on the lead?

Fishbait · 2006-01-31, 23:39

Leading by one...

Well she has seen more screentime lately it seems O.o Her latest promotion doesn't hurt either.

lana3007 · 2006-02-01, 00:37

1) Nao - She was one of my favorites in MH, and she remains at the top of my list through all of MO so far. I really loved her twisted personallity in MH, and seeing her change to become nice in MO was great, because although she isn't so obviously bad she still remains cool, and she got one of the best attitudes in the show.

2) Arika/Mashiro - I can't decide which one is better. I don't know what happened to me lately. They both pissed me off immensely at the beginning of the series, but I am getting to like them lately.

3) Nagi - don't ask why ... just don't ask ... it must be the voice: every time I hear his voice I think Chrno ... but I do happen to like Nagi's scheming. He is the one person who always turns out to do something unexpected, keeps me interested in the show.

MattAlchemy · 2006-02-01, 01:09

0 votes for Miya. People must forgot about her.

phaerax · 2006-02-01, 08:09

if Miya ever gets a vote, over half of it will be for her amusing forehead.

my vote? i ll wait till the end... choosing whom you love is more difficult than chosing someone to hate.
