I mean it's not like watching Marginal Prince or Floral Magician Mary Bell helps me enjoy ISML more.
Still more people need to watch Floral Magician Mary Bell regardless.
Well see, there's the problem: if more voters watched more anime that wasn't so heavily hyped and gushed over by them and their pals, there'd be more diversity in ISML. Deserving characters who are truly moe would have a better chance of getting in over those who are marginally moe (if that).

But voters here seem to trend towards those shows that are talked about regardless of characters, they just follow the buzz and repeat it. And they outnumber those viewers who actually watch the less-popular shows.

This isn't to mean that popular = lame, or anything... I'm a big supporter of KyoAni girls, IF they seem moe to me. It'd just be nice if the Yuries (AND Alice Carolls) of anime got some deserved recognition
