I like Alto. The guy is a bit difficult, but he cares.


I love Sheryl, though. Best character in anime since, like, ever.

It's about time we had a new character poll to reflect the series hitting the halfway point. That way we can see how people's opinions have changed over time. Not to mention that we need to add in the bridge bunnies (cause I really want to vote for Ram/Lam and Monica) and some of the other support characters.

I don't know, I think the voting option for the Bridge Bunnies should just be, "The Bridge Bunnies."

Can we really say we like any one of the girls more than the other? Although I guess the one bunny with the crush on the captain would leave her at a big advantage vs the others...

I saw this randomly today and it's very funny How Sheryl made it in the Saimoe 2008 tournament is beyond me.

http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...postcount=2147

Seems like Ranka's raking out the Macross Frontier Pow in this tournament. Ranka's popularity in 2chan surprised me. I didn't think she's this popular. She's no push over lol

Gaaaah..
No wonder. Though it would've been much cooler if Asuran was #2 instead of Kira.

You kidding or you don't know what Saimoe is for (I guess the later though). For a walking pillar of moe like Ranka, I'd only be surprised that she only got 4th. But against Hiiragi twins and Hina, 4th is the best she can wish for.

One advice: don't underestimate 2channers' love for moe loli.

Yeah, Ranka's popularity on 2ch is not surprising to me at all. They are all loli-moe lovers over there.

Well, I know that 2chan is the largest internet forum in Japan, but I have to look up Saimoe lol Otakus mean business ^^ To think SaiMoe was this influential in Japan. It's even in the newspapers. :| This is today.

Spoiler for results group 20:


This is another popularity booster for Macross F. Macross Staff are probably happy.

So I guess all those Ranka-centric episodes like 10, 11, 12 really did accomplish its goals as expected, or maybe it always did, we just didn't notice since we're outside Japan lol

Here's the link for anyone interested. I couldn't find Klan (she's somewhere in there), but Sheryl is on group 2, while Ranka's on group 20.

http://synchroom.wikispaces.com/SaiMoe2008

I gave up trying to scroll down the 2ch Main Voting thread. It's so vast and complicated. Crazy.

Yeah I think I saw Maria from Hayate no Gotoku in there. C.C. from Code Geass is leading among her cast mates. She's also pretty popular. I guess she can be moe too lol

That's surprising about C.C. Now if it was the current CChii then I'd understand how she'd make it on there. But I'm guessing these votes came in before ep. 15, which is odd.

And Sheryl being on there is just plain weird. The only time she is moe is in some fanart.

Of course series mojo always has a role in this kind of tournament. And prelims are not very good indicators for how well a character will do. Almost all prominent characters from above average shows can make through prelims (by first or by second), after all, there are quota of 288 characters to main. Wait to mid august to see main tournament.

80% of my money is on Fate-chan, and 20% on Kagami-sama.

How Sheryl is moe is beyond me. She's the opposite of moe, she's novelty. So that puts her at the top of my list.

Sheryl-tries-to-catch-the-butterfly is moe. I hate to repeat this line even though I like to repeat watching the scene.

Plus moe is subjective.

I agree, it's subjective. That's why it's beyond me how she's moe.

With respect to the butterfly scene, she was impulsive. If we knew nothing more about her character but that scene, then one might conclude she's moe. But with the rest of her behavior, personality, and character as a backdrop, I'd vote she's definitely not moe.

Moe is not a negative. It's the foundation of anime fandom. But once in a while we get a treat like Sheryl. She's refreshing.

Lol... 2chan... Somehow I get the feeling that Animesuki is FAR more mature than 2chan. Simply because, we at Animesuki like older women. ^_^;

In the top right corner, is that the one girl from Night Wizard, or is that the girl from that one anime with the pets and the evil corporation that has a really depressing ending? I forgot the name, sadly. But the one main character kid is pretty emotionless until he meets her, and he's a Class A I believe. His little pet thing is a gun, basically...
