The variable here is Christmas break; one can watch alot of anime series during days off. And that's why I'm only going to think about my nominations after the break! EDIT:Yeah, bad memories.

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.

Not really, most of the series in ISML aren't all that popular, as seen by how badly It's characters are raped.
Kyoani and JCStaff(Those two combined took 12spots of the top 20) seem to produce the most mainstream/popular series, while most other things are left in their wake. Some of the characters near the bottom of ISML ranking are actually quite moe, despite what results might have you to believe... Alice Caroll!

Ah, I guess I should've have rephrased my question. What I really wanted to know was if a character is nominated multiple times, does it have higher chance of getting into the nominations, kind of like a voting process.

Well, only the characters with the most nominations(until all spots are filled) will make it past nominations. So a character with only a few nominations has a slim to no chance of making it, while a character with 100 is all but guaranteed. Characters with most nomination votes = priority.

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

I don't mean to brag but I do consider myself someone who's watched quite a few underwatched series. And I think that many of these series have characters I would like to see do well in a moe contest.

what? Comrade Kholdstare-kun created the thread instead of Comrade General Secretary Big Boss Minhtam-sama? never saw that coming
anyways, I'm pretty sure the announcements involving a few certain franchises will cause more instability than usual (my psychic intuition is at it again....) |

And I don't consider it bragging! Any decent anime fan should want to experience not only what the current flavor-of-the-day, but also those titles that slip by unnoticed, and sing their praises Thanks and thanks ...why does Sora no Manimani suddenly come to my mind... (NOT that it's subpar in any way shape or form!) Soooo... who are you nominating from it

There are indeed underwatched animes that remain to be lowly rated purely for the fact that they are indeed bad. 8 to 9 out of 10 times is the case. However, there are some situations where underwatched animes that should have gotten more attention but did not, because they did not have the tag "KyoAni" or "J. C. Staff" or a famous director next to the title. Popularity is an indication of whether a form of media is good or not. If something is popular, then it means a large proportion of the audience liked it and thus has a higher chance of actually being good. The converse is the same - if something is not so popular then it means a large proportion of the audience did not like it and thus has a lower chance of it actually being good. However, at the end of the day it is personal tastes and preferences that determine whether something is good for that particular person. Overrated/underrated is usually a subjective term that depends on person to person. Whats overrated/underrated to one person might not be to another. |

Y'know, there are series with bad ratings that are virtually unheard of, and then there are series with high ratings and are also ridiculously unpopular considering It's merits. Mainstream(High ratings can consider a series good, but not It's own sheer popularity) doesn't mean good. Most the hype comes before the series release, anyways. If it has no hype before release, and turns out great, It's till going to be lacking in terms of popularity. That's right, people make assumptions before they have the facts. And let's not forget marketing. Naruto and Bleach come to mind.

Of course popularity isn't always right. In the case of Naruto and Bleach, they were actually good when they started off, but the anime dragged on and became subpar. However, there is a significant amount of people that dislike the anime but like the original manga because it isn't so dragged. Is other popular anime such as Death Note, Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya considered to be overrated and/or overhyped? What about moeblob shows such as K-on or the recently "blockbuster" (in Japan) Bakemonogatari? I think it really depends on the person. Getting back on topic: I think the same principle applies to "the most moe characters". Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2009-12-05 at 20:23. |

Well, what I was trying to say is popular doesn't necessarily mean that It's liked by a good portion of It's viewers. After a anime fan starts up the first episode, most have this "have to finish mentality" And if they don't have that, they just keep thinking It's going to get good eventually. Afterall, the more viewers of a anime, the more likelyhood of there being fans, even if a majority of It's viewers don't even like the anime. And with all those fans added with It's popularity, it brings more viewers, to see what the fuss is about. Meanwhile, unpopular series are screwed from the very start, regardless how awesome the series might seem to the few(comparatively) that watch it. No matter how many Aria fans rave about how amazing it is, there just isn't enough of them to get the point across.

However, it does annoy me when people "blindly hate" popular shows purely for the fact they are popular without seeing the show themselves. I know that I have been guilty of this myself and I try my hardest not to. As much as I would like to diss the new Twilight movie and call it overrated, I cannot because I have (and likely will not) watch it. |
