Here is a somewhat related thread. (Which reminds me: I need to update it.)

So, you going to share all the joke answers put into the "Other" option in the new poll?

For the poll, I picked Mustang, not only because I wanted to throw him a bone regarding the whole Fuhrer business, but also because
1. He seems like a really good choice compared to guys like Principal Asano and Light Yagami. 2. Many of the other choices are Japanese, and therefore ineligible to run for president. I know technically speaking, Amestris is similar to that of Germany, but it can be considered the America of FMA (And they also both start with "Ame-", whoa), so I think it works. |

I loved Yawara, both anime and Manga.

Hikari no Densetsu deserves at least a honorable mention (though agreeably the manga is better and ending differs). It might not have been released in English speaking countries, but I doubt Attack No.1 was either. At least this one has a fansub.

"While most Americans have probably visited an ice rink"
I do not personally know a single person who has visited an ice rink aside from my grandmother who used to travel to cities up north all the time. |

I can just see Light's campaign for president.

He couldn't run anyway, he's not American. I'm kinda getting annoyed at this recent internet joke regarding anime characters running for president, because a lot of them wouldn't be eligible for candidacy. I know I may be seeing this a little too literally, but I think context is important. |

I mean. It's a joke for a reason. A Japanese person running for president is far less absurd than the actual contents of most anime. Selective realism is silly. |

You're reading way too much into it. |

I don't have much experience with sports anime, though Taishō Baseball Girls and Bamboo Blade have been on my backlog for a while now. Out of the anime I've seen the closest to female-centred sports anime are Saki and Chihayafuru - pushing the definition of "sports" a little, but they're both about competitions, both can get pretty hot-blooded, and star determined female characters. Oh, there's also Teekyū and its spinoffs, but that probably qualifies as a sports anime even less.
Looks like someone hasn't read the introductory paragraph...
FWIW the question on the poll page doesn't even specify a country, and the one on the article page only really talks about a "country's highest office" (considering that a lot of the options in the poll are student council presidents/vice-presidents, I didn't even realize it was asking about actual political power until I re-read the latter question). Speaking of the poll, alright confess, which one of you f...ine people wrote in "Adolf Hitler (Drifters)"?! |
