"Thank you! And, thank you!"

Nice to see Tiger & Bunny getting all the love it deserves. I wonder if the top three would have any dudes at all were this conducted during another season?

And Reki makes the list at 28 after getting about 4 lines and a total of around 60 seconds of screentime in 8 episodes, that's what you call awesome.

The list is for the spring season. Madoka is from the winter season.

Maybe because Madoka was a winter anime?

Japan must like Brat-Tsundere way more than I do.

Anyways, Erio and Meme made it to top 4 and 5 which is awesome. Erio is just supa-cute and Meme is a really fun character. Miss Scientific Tsundere made it to #8 so that's good too. I'd expect Japan to like Mayurii but it seems she got a decent amount of votes at #24. In fact, most of the Steins;Gate members I expected made it to the list.

Go, Tiger and Bunny! This makes me smile, although I just have to ask, how come Barnaby is number 2? He's so annoying the first handful of episodes. Oh well, I'm just happy to see Kotetsu is at the top. Smile

I like a cute character design as much as anyone, but there's a little too much otaku-bias in this list. I'm happy to see Kotetsu at the top, but Katsuragi Keima and Niwa Makoto both carry their respective series and both got trounced by weaker characters from their own shows...

I am just really glad that Kotetsu in at the top of the list! So do this mean in any way that Tiger and Bunny is doing well in Japan?

Why hold this poll during the season? There's still a few weeks left to the season, plenty of time for characters to make changes for the better or worse.

Hate seeing the Aria series do so well. It's the only show out of these 10 that I dropped. It's so mind numbingly awful. It started out fine enough, but then they had to do the whole Holmes and Lupin thing and magical hair and it was pretty much over right there.

Who voted for Sky High? He's done less on the show than Origami Cyclone!

Interesting survey. I wouldn't expect Denpa to be so high considering it's wallowing in mediocre pre-order sales right now.

Then again, I'd also expect some characters from Azazel-san to be there due to its high pre-order ranking on Amazon right now.

Just goes to show that a small sample size just doesn't show much. Or maybe that people who took the online poll don't buy the shows with their favorite character.

EDIT: Wait, Yukiatsu? Holy crap. I guess looks is the only thing that matters to some fujoshi.

Yeah, Fire Emblem is a vastly underrated show, for an obscure 90s OVA. It needs more love.

And damn, A Channel got blasted. First character comes in at 27th place? Ouch. I like A Channel a lot, it's one of the few slice of life shows that I really enjoyed, and probably explains why everyone else hated it.
