[kenjiharima]

Is this true? A friend of mine siad Minoru Toped the LS character poll voting.

1. Minoru Shiraishi
2. Akira Kogami
3. Kagami Hiiragi
4. Izumi Konata
5. Hiiragi Tsukasa
6. Iwasaki Minami
7. Misao Kusakabe
8. Miyuki Takara
9. Izumi Kanata
10. Yutaka Kobayakawa

Well... where was the poll taken??

[kenjiharima]

he said it's from the Japan site...but I don't see no poll on the site...he must be pulling my leg or something. I need to find out if this is true or not.

The poll was displayed at the bottom of the screen, scrolling across like election results, during Lucky Channel. Was it serious? Or a joke from KyoAni? Who know.

[bayoab]

The poll really exists (or existed). Of course, there is also a campaign to make Shirashi Minoru #1.

[Vexx]

Its certainly funny and it'll drive Akira-chan insane... o wait.... she already *IS*...

[Claies]

What's funnier is Akira and Minoru both obviously had campaigns to elevate themselves to #1, and the host lost in that regard despite being the most loud-mouthed. That and Kanata actually landed in #9.

[Anh_Minh]

Was that a real poll? Akira did say that Sebastian definitely wouldn't be #1 in the character poll... Makes me suspicious.

And I can't believe they'd come ahead of Konata.

[AVPlaya]

Okay guys, there was a real poll, annouced by Akira a while back.

Here's the page where you could have voted:

http://www.lucky-ch.com/contest/index.html

The result is out, and it was displayed during the airing of Lucky Channel #13. When the fansub's out y'all can check it out.

Yes Shiraishi won. Yes Akira-sama isn't too happy, even though she's 2nd. Just watch and you'll find out.

[vaizard_ruler]

hmm...so itll be out on the subs?

[Vexx]

If by that you mean to ask if they'll discuss the results on Lucky*Channel... then yes. The Lucky*Channel and ED on ep 13 are quite funny (for a change).

[HollowSide]

haha that was funny when Akira stormed off when she found out Shirashi was top.

[kenjiharima]

Anyone noticed that Kagami and Tsukasa's elder sister with the purple hair looks like Nagato Yuki? O_o;;; And most of the time her mouth or face is covered.

I doubt it's KyoAni's fault, since the manga would have introduced that sister.

I think.

[kenjiharima]

Another Question to keep this thread burning.

Do you think sensie-Nanako is THE SAME NANAKON-sensie that Konata (konakona) on the online game she plays?

Spoiler:

I presume it's ragnarok online since konata said on valentines day she'll give chocolates to her bride and the only OL game I've played that has that kind of event is R.O.

[Risaa]

If I understand your question correctly, yes, Nanako-sensei is Nanakon, which is why Kona would complain that Nanako is talking about RL subjects in the game (how would anyone else know Kona had homework).

The game could be RO, but it could also be one of the other million MMOs Japan has. I really wouldn't be surprised if there were other games that allowed users to give choco to spouses, and RO seems (to me) to be a little cutesy for Kona's taste... but we never know ne.

No... that's the way she's drawn in the comic. Its more like both Nagato and her come from a similar visual meme.

Now, the character Minami is going to get pelted with "Nagato ripoff" insults from the "we've never seen the manga and have no clue about the chronology of different properties" crowd.

Personality-wise and height -- she's somewhat like Sakaki from AzuDa, but in build (she's waifish), looks, and speaking style she's more like the archetype Nagato derives from.

This constant referencing to Haruhi is starting to get on my nerves and I *like* SHnY. It is not the source of all ideas. Its more like an archetype subversion of many existing ideas. Great stuff but "nothing new under the sun" really applies.


And yes, game character Nanakon is Nanako-sensei, otherwise all their conversations would make no sense. O.o The game they play seems to be some amalgam of several games. Its intentionally not any particular game so lawyers don't get antsy.

Funny how games portrayed in such places tend to feel like something I'd really want to play (see Megatokyo).

You mean you want to play "Harvest Moon: Dust Bowl" where you can poison all your animals, even your little dog?

[nanafan]

Q. why does konata's dad wear traditional japanese clothes? don't know if anyone can answer it...sorry if it's hard but was wondering about it.
