The thing with Chieri is that her character justifiably earned a victory there. She's gotten a lot of the spotlight, and her character is arguably the most complex among the trainees. I don't think it's fair to imply that she won just because she's voiced by Mayuyu.
I can't speak for the successor poll. I can't even find it when I glance through the official site. |

The amount of votes is pretty small compare to the trainees..but then it's a new poll I guess.
Even if you search AKB fanart on Pixiv, Mayuyu have alot of them. Probably one of the highest ones and being an otaku really win her alot of anime fans too. I'm pretty sure her popularity have to do with it. Same with Acchan who hss been MIA since the series started. Tho now seeing her on the poll, pretty sure she's going to be making an appearance soon. Maybe that theory that AKB center were brainwashed by DES is true? lol

Oh wait, so there's a voting poll thingie for the anime itself? So Chieri won the first one with all the understudies? (Whoohoo!) And now they're voting for anime successors of which Mayuyu is winning?
Well, can't say I'm too surprised at anime!Mayuyu's popularity, as she stands out more with what little she had to work with than others who have more screentime than her (probably only one out of the successors who has a good amount of moe elements going for her). But who knows? Maybe Acchan or Yuuko will beat her in the end.

AKB apparently also now has a variety show which runs at 1:00 am. It drew a 3.8 rating recently despite its timeslot. (Japan doesn't count DVR viewing in those figures either.) In contrast, late-night anime generally runs in the range of 1-3%, and figures below 1.0 are not uncommon.

I'm not surprised Chieri won the poll, but those poll numbers are pretty tiny. She's the best character out of all the the girls really. I don't think the Mayuyu effect is really overly present here. I'm more surprised at how that super negative girl is not in last place tbh.

On a related note, a re-run in a major network is supposed to start soon. With some luck, that may attract some more viewers.

I take it you don't follow links in postings? If you had, you would have seen immediately that it was the rating for AKBINGO.
Sigh.

Something that suddenly occured to me. That DES Ace who soloed Takamina... wasn't that mecha carrying a Skull emblem on it?
On one hand, I'm not keen on the idea that Skull Squadron are the bad guys. On the other hand, it makes Takamina's ownage easier to swallow, because in addition to being off her game, she went head to head with Skull Leader. Unless I'm totally misremembering things, in which case nevermind.

I thought that AKB is supposed to be about 'unfinished products'? If so, Makoto deserves her third place finish. She certainly has that feeling, especially in comparison to say, Sonata or that glasses girl whos name I can't remember, who for the most part has their shit together apart from technical skill.
I disagree. Chieri should've had more than 50% of the total votes (40% is not enough!), considering she's carrying the show.
