I still continue to underestimate just how strong the characters from shounen series are. Pretty much all of them do better than I expect them to. The exception to this is Luffy but I suspect that's because I'm underestimaing Accelerator. Lelouch and Kyon don't do nearly as well as I thought they would. Lelouch should still be one of the strongest characters but I think he's probably going to have to do a bit of work if he wants to win. Tomoya, Yuzuru and Koyomi also didn't do as well as I thought. Maybe I'm still underestimating just how strong the shounen characters are and the performances are better than I think they are.

Seeing Ayumu in the exhibition reminds me that he didn't enter the tourney. Why again? He did win an exhibition during regular season...
And a Lancer vs Lancer match would have been appreciated, albeit predictable. (Though, it's not like a Gil rape isn't predictable as is...) |

Perhaps. The females from the shounen series tend to do quite badly in ISML. I thought it may have been because those series weren't popular with the ISML voters but I think it's more the female characters aren't very popular.

Lancer vs. Gilgamesh was the toughest call for me. Both are pretty cool characters. I eventually went with Gilgamesh since he's a great antagonist, something anime could use more of. As good a character as Lancer is, it's not as hard to find other anime characters like him as it is to find other anime characters like Gilgamesh, imo.
Char vs. Kenshiro is a wonderful match on paper, in the sense of a match-up between two epic, classic anime male characters. Really nice match-up there. ARENA 01: [Kyon] Kinoshita Hideyoshi ARENA 02: [Edward Elric] Hibari Kyōya ARENA 03: [Okazaki Tomoya] Araragi Koyomi ARENA 04: Katsuragi Keima [Archer] ARENA 05: Feldt Grace [Mikawa Fumika] ARENA 06: [Alicia Melchiott] Shirogane Naoto ARENA 07: [Char Aznable] Kenshiro ARENA 08: [Saotome Alto] Aikawa Ayumu ARENA 09: Lancer (Diarmuid) [Gilgamesh] ARENA 10: Vincent Valentine [Sephiroth] Quote:
Even taking this into account, though, I'm impressed at how well Edward Elric is doing. He looks to be right up there amongst the other big vote-getters in these exhibition matches, and that really is surprising to me. I think that the Full Metal Alchemist is a really good character, but I didn't think he'd do that well in ISML. For me, it's a bit of a pleasant surprise.
