Takakuni #2


I cannot understand why he's always so high in character polls. It does not make sense. At least Zessica is above Mikono.

This is the current state of anime huh? I wonder what this list would of looked like 10 years ago...maybe the lead characters from Full Metal Panic!, GITS SAC, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Gundam SEED, Initial D.

Things sure have changed since I got into anime almost 15 years ago.

Well, at least these series/characters are keeping the anime industry alive and hopefully well.

I'm surprised to see 2 Another characters so high, after it bombed in sales. I guess it was one of those shows a lot of people watched but didn't care enough about to buy.

My #1 so far would be Nyarko, followed by Ririchiyo.

Well, it looks like Another and Inu x Boku SS dominated that chart...

I agree with Izumi's choice though, she was my fav character of the series.

Maybe the crossdressing made him enough popular to reach the 2nd place.

Wait, of all the girls in High School DxD, Koneko was the LEAST popular one? So unpopular that she didn't even make the list? That kind of boggles the mind. Where was the DFC crowd when this poll was taken?!?

Up voting Ririchiyo from Inu x Boku SS, naturally.

Don't know about the time slot, but I got the feeling Another fans might be quite young, ie. in their teens. Makes sense if they don't buy DVDs / BDs.

Few character polls from the 90's. Don't know the name of the magazine or when the poll was conducted (expect for the last one that clearly took place after Princess Mononoke's premiere).

Wait wait wait!!! No Urabe (Mysterious Girlfriend X)? Am I missing something? She was apart of the " first half" of 2012.

4nBlue, thanks for that bro. That nostalgia trip reminds why I love this anime stuff.

But, guys... I gotta go with team Asuka. Cool
