I don't think there's too much hope for Nichijou this year. Its style of humor is surreal to the point that not a lot of people appreciate it, and that's bad for any character's ISML career. Kyoani would probably have to wait next year for it to get more effective fighters, as it may very well fail to have even a single representative in this year's Nova division.

Bad news. Due to the huge amount of nominations received, most of the VC staff has gone on a strike and ISML will die off.

Replace your VC staff with NVA regulars.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

@Ithekro: Has there been anything similar to the struggle between Assassin and Templar a la Assassin's Creed in Space Opera? Basically two different ideologies toward universal peace: one through absolute liberty and trust in society to correct itself in times of strife, and the other through absolute control and rule that keeps everyone protected (even from themselves).

Ithekro · 2012-01-04, 22:51

Not to my knowledge. Though to be fair, sometimes motives get left out in the quick writeups. The Order of the Lotus I don't ever got to the point where they had a motive or cause. The DEEN Directorate really didn't either that I recall, other than the keep Saber and Rika in check. Thought I suppose Saber could be free of DEEN now (Fate/Zero is by UFOtable (Carnival Phastasm is by a company called Lerche?), which would need a background...or prehaps take the backstory from 2008 when it was Fate/Stay Night and Higurashi with Kara no Kyōkai's Shiki as a sort of ally/assassin...though Higurashi was acting in in a rebellious fashion, partly supporting the KyoAni Empire. So the introduction of the large DEEN group from Seitokai no Ichizon was to keep control over the rebellion from Hinamizawa and keep Saber and Rin in check.)

But if we have another large group of characters with the same voice actress there could be a reason for another secretive (or not so secretive) society to give a backstory to "match the flavor" of Assassin's Creed with the Order of the Lotus being the other half of the flavor.

I vote Yukarin for that one, just because of Nanoha and Rika. But which voice actress (aside from Kugimiya, who has her Jedi-like Knights) has the numbers and recent popularity in characters to stand on par with Hanazawa right now?

RegalStar · 2012-01-04, 23:25

One of the reasons why Hanazawa is so powerful in ISML is that she has voiced a lot of characters lately. Some of her characters don't look like they're going to be too popular any time soon (Shiemi and Morita Mayu come to mind), but since she has so many characters under her name, some of them are bound to be hits.

But Nagi will likely be back (and unfortunately it looks like Louise will be back as well...no matter how many times she gets below the threshold). It is just a matter of who is viable from newer Kugimiya characters to become this year's "Padawans".

Aria H. Kanazaki looks to be the best candidate so far, she has gotten good support by counts so far, though Astarotte should also make it with her decent support.

frivolity · 2012-01-05, 02:36

1. Nagi Sanzenin - Hayate no Gotoku

2. Louise Francoise Le Blanc de la Valliere - Zero no Tsukaima

3. Huang Lingyin - Infinite Stratos

4. Mami Futami - Idolm@ster

5. Ai - Amagami SS

6. Ami Futami - Idolm@ster

7. Hibiki Ganeha - Idolm@ster

8. Kobato Hasegawa - Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

9. Ookami Ryouko - Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi

10. Yuuhi Katagiri - Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka

11. Merry Nightmare - Yumekui Merry

12. Maya Takahashi - Amagami SS

I stayed away from voting the characters that I felt had a high chance of getting in, e.g: Sena, since they are likely to get in anyway without my vote. Though in my haste, I completely forgot Aria Kanzaki....

Edit: Minami from Moshidora as well.

Ithekro · 2012-01-05, 02:47

It would be funny if we got a non-tsundere (or even a non-loli) Kugimiya voiced character. She's be the odd one of the Knights.

HasuMasu · 2012-01-05, 04:41

Aria's getting some love? Then I don't guilty about not nominating her.

Would Iori Minase be considered non-loli?, and while Astarotte is tsundere, she is also notably less violent the average Kugimiya tsundere
