Don't ask me. I didn't nominate it.

Males - Zagato

Females - Nana

Males: Zagato
Females: Nana

don't know any of these lower class chars. not voting. :p (lol ;))


and also i'm 99% sure i did nominate goemon from lupin. heck i nominated all 3 characters for males and fujiko for females. O_o

Why is it not Lupin's Goemon :(

Male - Zagato

Female - Nana

Zagato and Nana

Zagato (Magic Knight Rayearth) - 5
Goemon (Legend of the Mystical Ninja) - 0

Nana (Elfen Lied) - 5
Arumi Asahina (Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai) - 0


Low turnout and a very clear result. I wonder if the stickying helped or if that last one was just a fluke.


Males:

Klaus Valca (Last Exile) - Ace vanship pilot.

VS

Amon (Witch Hunter Robin) - Witch hunter with questionable loyalties.



Females:

Mimori Kiryu (Scryed) - Young gentle-natured scientist.

VS

Milia Fallyna Jenius (Macross) - Zentradi ace who defected and married a human.



Skimped on the descriptions again, but only because there wasn't much to say about them.

Klaus Valca, please.

Haven't seen either one of the females to vote there.

Klaus Valca

and

Mimori Kiryu

Milia Fallyna Jenius (Macross) FTW!!!!!

Male: Klaus
Female: Milia

Male: Klaus Valca

Female: Mimori Kiryu

Male: Klaus

Female: Mimori

Males - Amon

Females - Mimori

Male - Klaus

Female - Milia

Male - Klaus

Female - Milia

Male - Klaus

Female - Milia

I've made a slight edit to the remaining list, but I doubt anyone will notice it. Just corrected an oversight.


Klaus Valca (Last Exile) - 8
Amon (Witch Hunter Robin) - 1

Mimori Kiryu (Scryed) - 4
Milia Fallyna Jenius (Macross) - 5


Big win for Klaus, narrow win for Milia. Not shocking results at all.


Males:

Zelgadis Greywords (Slayers) - A classic case of "careful what you wish for," Zel asked for power and got turned into a rock-skinned chimera. Ever since, the poor guy has been looking for a way to get back to normal. He's an expert swordsman, a powerful shaman, and a classic straight man for the goofy antics of Lina Inverse's gang.

VS

Noboru Yamaguchi (Cromartie High) - The leader of Destrade High's first year students and purported member of a bike gang, his flunkies believe he has no sense of humor and hates jokes because he's always so serious. In reality, he loves sophisticated humor, but hates the low-brow jokes the other guys tell. He frequently writes jokes and sends them to a local radio station under a pen name.



Females:

Bulma Briefs (Dragonball) - Though she's spoiled, vain, and ill-tempered, she's also a genius inventor, as well as the only human capable of intimidating Vegeta.

VS

Haruhi Suzumiya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - Desperate to avoid a life of mediocrity, Haruhi constantly searches for interesting and unusual things in the world, such as aliens and time travellers. To this end, she gathers a group of hapless and seemingly random people around her and forms a club to find such things, never knowing that her own club includes a time traveller, esper, and alien, or that they've all gathered to investigate her because they think she's a god or something.




Interesting characters this time.

Male - Zelgadis

Female - Haruhi

Males - Noboru

Females - Bulma

Male: Noburu
Female: Haruhi

omg so THAT'S the plot for the nearly overhyped meloncholy of haruhi show? fuck. i've been missing out. that's like my thing right there. kinda like pani poni dash or something. i love that type of stuff. i've been so noob for not researching it and trying to watch it. >.<

but i'm voting for bulma though cause.... i love bulma. O_o she's funny and secksy in a funny way lol. :D

Females - Bulma


Males - Zelgadis

everyone vote zel or die! >.<

What the fuck? This went up on Friday, and even with some fairly major characters, it only has 4 votes now. I just can't win, it seems.

Lame :(

i would vote if i had seen the shows in question Prak ;-;

Male - Zelgadis

Female - Haruhi

Zelgadis Greywords (Slayers) - 3
Noboru Yamaguchi (Cromartie High) - 2

Bulma Briefs (Dragonball) - 2
Haruhi Suzumiya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - 3


Very disappointing turnout.


Males:

Clef (Magic Knight Rayearth) - Master mage who greets the Magic Knights upon their arrival in Cephiro, gives them magic, and sends them on their way. The bastard somehow forgets to mention that the Magic Knights are supposed to kill the princess, not save her.

VS

Shinji Ikari (Evangelion) - A whiny teenager forced by his estranged father to pilot a giant robot(?) in battle against monstrous beings called Angels.



[Females:[/b]

Sophie Hatter (Howl's Moving Castle) - Sophie was an ordinary girl working a hat shop, possessing no self-esteem or hope for the future, until a chance meeting with the dashing wizard Howl resulted in her being turned into an old lady by the Witch of the Wastes. Over the course of her quest to be turned back to normal, she comes into her own, learning to live independently and take pride in who she is.

VS

Saya Otonashi (Blood/Blood+) - Focusing on the version of the character in Blood+ since she was unremarkable in the movie. Saya appears normal high school student, albeit one suffering from anemia and amnesia. However, her cheerful demeanor veils the ruthless nature of her vampiric side. She hunts vampiric demons called Chiroptera, as well as her own twin sister.




How about putting up a few votes and making this worth our time, people?

Male: Clef

Female: Sophie Hatter

Shinji - Males

Sophie - Females

Shinji - Males

Sophie - Females

Male: Clef
Female: Sophie

Male: Shinji
Female: Otonashi

clef and sophie

Shinji - Males

Sophie - Females

Male - Clef

Female - Sophie

Clef (Magic Knight Rayearth) - 4
Shinji Ikari (Evangelion) - 4

Sophie Hatter (Howl's Moving Castle) - 7
Saya Otonashi (Blood/Blood+) - 1


Sophie pwns the crap out of Saya while the guys go to a tiebreaker. And the coveted, all-important Prak vote goes to... Clef! Poor Gainax is getting clobbered. At least they've slipped one through, and one of their favorites is yet to compete.


Males:

Char Aznable (Gundam) - Born Casval Rem Deikun, he gave up that identity after the murder of his father and went into hiding. Years later, he took the name Char Aznable, joined the Republic of Zeon's military, and made a name for himself as a mobile suit pilot, all for the sake of taking revenge against the Zabi family, leaders of the nation his father worked to build. Though his Newtype powers are weak, his extraordinary skills allow him to fight on an equal level with the greatest Newtypes alive.

VS

Genjo Sanzo (Saiyuki) - Although he's a monk, he doesn't act much like one; drinking, smoking, and swearing are ways of life for him. Though he's a rational thinker, he's also arrogant and quick to anger. Despite outward appearances, he's also a total do-gooder and will always step in to defend the weak. Weapon of choice: revolver.



Females:

Ruri Hoshino (Nadesico) - Having been raised in lab as part of an experiment, 12-year-old Ruri is distinctly lacking in social skills, but is otherwise a genius. She serves as the science officer on the Nadesico, where she constantly points out the idiocy of the rest of the crew, and occasionally her own.

VS

Nenene Sumiregawa (R.O.D the TV) - Although she was a prodigious novelist in her high school years, Nenene hasn't written anything new in years. Though she's jaded and bitter, harboring feelings of abandonment from the disappearance of her closest friend, she starts to soften after meeting the Paper Sisters and eventually finds the will to resume her career.




We're coming close to the end of round 1. Round two will retain the random draw format, but the tiebreaker method will change. Also, I'll be trying to spice things up a bit. More on that later.

Males: Genjo Sanzo (even though Gundam pilots are just better, I have the first season of Gensomaiden Saiyuki so obligation overrules)

Females: "It's Nenene!" "Nu-nu-nu..Na-na-na!" (Ruri and Sumiregawa are pretty identical, nenene is just newer)

Male: Sanzo
Female: Ruri

Males - Genjo Sanzo

Females - Ruri Hoshino

Males - Genjo Sanzo

Females - Ruri Hoshino

What the fuck? How is Sanzo beating a fucking legend like Char? You people make me sad.

Totally wondering the same thing :o

Male - Char

Female - Nenene

char and ruri

Female - Nenene

Char and Ruri

Char and Ruri

I liked Sanzo better, but can't deny that Char is epic.

Char Aznable (Gundam) - 4
Genjo Sanzo (Saiyuki) - 4

Ruri Hoshino (Nadesico) - 6
Nenene Sumiregawa (R.O.D the TV) - 3


Thanks to Joan's wonderful vote which I will love her forever for, the males go to a tiebreaker. You shouldn't even have to wonder which way I'm leaning on this one. My vote, of course, is for Char. Hate to see Nenene lose, but them's the breaks.


Males:

Yattaran (Space Pirate Captain Harlock) - First officer aboard the Arcadia. Yattaran's mathematical skills are top-notch, but only when he can be bothered to put down his models of World War 2 airplanes and tanks long enough to report to the bridge. His knowledge of the ship's inner workings is second only to that of its designer.

VS

Guts (Berserk) - It's been said that he was cursed since the day he was born from a corpse hanging from a tree. Taken in by a mercenary company, he was raised by its leader in a harsh environment, knowing nothing but their violent ways. Eventually, he became a nearly invincible swordsman and a member of the Band of the Hawk. He's also one of the few survivors of the Hawks, having narrowly escaped after their leader chose to sacrifice them to gain the power he craved. Now he hunts the demonic creatures that have been loosed upon the world, wielding an enormous sword and seeking to come face to face with Griffith again to settle the score.



Females:

Youko Nakajima (Twelve Kingdoms) - 16-year-old Youko thought she was an ordinary high school honor student until she was whisked away to another world by a man named Keiki, who swore loyalty to her even though they had never met. There she learned that she was the heir to the kingdom of Kei. Though initially weak-willed and introverted, she grows stronger over time and eventually becomes a decent enough queen.

VS

Sumomo (Chobits) - A mobile persocom standing less than a foot high, Sumomo is a futuristic equivalent of a laptop computer. She's programmed to be cute, nonsensical, and more than a little hyperactive.




Three more matches after this one. That means a week from Monday, we should reach Round 2.

wow. gotta say. that is a HELLLAA long first round. and boy oh boy, round 2 is gonna make some poeple cry i'm sure. (mostly me probably lol)

Males - Guts

this guy is badass. a shame i have to read the manga to find what happens after the series. pfft. reading is so 1000 years ago. -_-

Male: Yattaran
Female: Sumomo

Yattaran plz.

Guts

Male: Yattaran
Female: Sumomo

Male - Yattaran

Female - Youko

About Nenene, I tried Prak, I tried :(

Males - Yattaran

Females - Sumomo

don't care about any of these characters but I'll vote anyways:

Males: Guts

Females: Youko

Male - Yattaran

Female - Sumomo

Not gonna take a vote from this guy. - Prak

Yattaran (Space Pirate Captain Harlock) - 6
Guts (Berserk) - 3

Youko Nakajima (Twelve Kingdoms) - 2
Sumomo (Chobits) - 4


I never actually figured Yattaran would win that. Not that I'm unhappy about it. Also, Youko got votes? Also unexpected.


Males:

Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask/Prince Endymion/Darien (Sailor Moon) - Geez, he has more aliases than you can shake an extending cane at.

VS

Goku (Dragonball) - Uh oh. Journey to the West isn't cool anymore. Better turn him into an alien.



Females:

Robin Sena (Witch Hunter Robin) - A witch who hunts witches because hunting witches is the only thing that keeps her from being hunted for being a witch. Or something like that. Major personality issues here also, mostly stemming from her acute lack of one.

VS

Mint Blancmanche (Galaxy Angel) - An avid cosplayer who doesn't like being seen in costume. Distinguished, but slightly snobbish at times. Has rabbit ears that twitch, rise, and fall according to her mood and can be used (by the laws of cartoon physics) as wings.




If anyone doesn't know who either of the male characters are, you probably shouldn't be voting in this rumble at all.

Male: Mamoru
Female: Mint

o........m.........f............g

i have to pick between darien and goku? (yes i can call him darien if i want. i don't care! super fan's DO acknowledge the dubs!)

Males - Mamoru/Darien ^^

Females - Mint

Tuxedo Kamen + Mint

I guess I'll be the first lame one, fuck it

Male - Goku

Female - Robin

Goku

D:

Sorry Tact, I actually meant to reflect the dub name also, but I forgot. Fixing it now!

Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask/Prince Endymion/Darien (Sailor Moon) - 3
Goku (Dragonball) - 2

Robin Sena (Witch Hunter Robin) - 1
Mint Blancmanche (Galaxy Angel) - 3


Abysmally low vote count for what I thought would be a major round.


Males:

Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - Though he's a bit excessively cynical and sardonic, he's mostly a pretty average high school student... who hangs out with an alien, a time traveller, and an esper. He's also the catalyst for certain changes in Haruhi Suzumiya's mood that could endanger all of existence.

VS

Jinto Lin (Banner of the Stars) - When a race called the Abh invaded his homeworld, his father negotiated a deal that escalated the two of them into the Abh nobility. Therefore, after learning the ways of the Abh, Jinto was promptly enlisted in their space forces to perform the required service to assume his title. Jinto is kind-hearted and rather naive, but also courageous and resourceful in a pinch.



Females:

Hikaru Shidou (Magic Knight Rayearth) - After being magically whisked away from Tokyo Tower and deposited in Cephiro, tomboyish Hikaru happily accepts the responsibility of being a Magic Knight, eager to fulfill her dreams of adventure and heroism. Along with two other girls, she sets out to rescue the imprisoned princess and save the land. Too bad there was an important detail left out of the job description.

VS

Haruko Haruhara (FLCL) - This odd alien looks about 20 years old, rides a Vespa, communicates with other aliens via cat, and carries a bass guitar that seems to be made for Inspector Gadget, which she whacks Naota's head with occasionally to open his N.O. channel.




I'm open to suggestions for ways to get the vote count up a bit.

I'm open to suggestions for ways to get the vote count up a bit.

Institute a rule that says that if a given round has less than x number of votes, it results in elimination of all characters in said round (where [i]x[/x] = whatever arbitrary minimum would make this more interesting).

And make a big production out of telling everyone on FFS this in chat and GD.

Oh:

Jinto Lin and Haruko Haruhara.

A bit more extreme than I'd like to go for, but I'll consider it if I can't figure something else out.

Of course, the obvious vote incentive is that nominations for the wild card round will come from the most regular voters. I'd like to remind everyone that this is still the case. Wild card nominations will be accepted only from those invited to give them, and more votes increases your chances of getting your favorite character entered. I may even allow multiple submissions from some.

Male - Kyon

Female - Haruko

At least we had that one good turn out after you stickied Prak :o

Male: Kyon
Female: Hikaru

Male - Kyon

Female - Haruko

Haruko Haruhara

none. O_o wow. first time ever i don't care for ANYONE at all in this round.

i mean. i liked flcl a little bit. but i don't care for it going to the next round. -_-

Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - 3
Jinto Lin (Banner of the Stars) - 1

Hikaru Shidou (Magic Knight Rayearth) - 1
Haruko Haruhara (FLCL) - 4


*sigh* I wonder what happened to the days of old, when the first anime rumble got several times as many votes as this one gets.


Males:

Black Jack (Black Jack) - Though he's a surgical genius, Black Jack has no license. Instead he operates in the shadows to avoid the rules and regulations of his peers, treating any patient, regardless of wealth or position. In fact, he's completely opposed to the ideas of wealth and power, and typically charges absurd sums to his rich patients.

VS

Takashi Kamiyama (Cromartie High) - In a school full of delinquents, he's the only person who's normal. This, by the reasoning of his fellow students, must mean he's the toughest of all of them. After all, a rabbit wouldn't go into a den of lions unless it was a really badass rabbit. Also an amateur comedian who sends jokes in to a local radio station.



Females:

Relena Peacecraft (Gundam Wing) - No. Just no. Only in here to lose as badly as possible.

VS

Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach) - Not even gonna describe. Just vote for this one please.




This is the last match of the first round. Pairings have already been drawn for the next round, so it will begin on Monday.

I don't like any of these characters.

Abstaining and I hope you eliminate them all.

Takashi

Male: Takashi
Female: Rukia

rofl at prak hating gwing all the time. lol

it just makes it more fun to point out that i love it cause it just makes him more sad inside. lol


and FUCK rukia. she can suck my balls! (well i'd like it if any chick would do that so......nvm lol)



Takashi - Males

Relena - Females

male - Takashi Kamiyama

Males - Takashi

Females - Relena

Males - Takashi

female - Rukia

Black Jack (Black Jack) - 1
Takashi Kamiyama (Cromartie High) - 6

Relena Peacecraft (Gundam Wing) - 2
Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach) - 4


Round one goes out with a whimper. Seriously, this is pretty sad. Only getting 5 votes half the time is irritating. *EDIT: The two that came in while I was working this out helped.* I'm putting it on you guys to do your part to drive it up. I don't care how. If I see a difference, I'll be happy.


ROUND 2


This time, things are going to be a little different. The pairings are random again. The tiebreaker method will switch to a percentage system based on all previous rounds a character has been in, thus allowing me to vote each round. Also, try and spot the new theme in the descriptions.

You guys get extra incentives for voting from here on out. The incentives can vary from nominating new characters for the wild card round to choosing a pairing in the next round.

Kicking things off...

Males:

Walter C. Dornez (Hellsing) - Wires. Like the ones you cut cheese with. An old fart swinging cheese wires around to slice up vampires. What the hell...

VS

Eikichi Onizuka (GTO) - Okay, he's a good-looking guy, tough as nails, and completely endearing to most people. So why can't he get laid? Is he a closet queer?



Females:

Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing (Hellsing) - So daddy picked her to lead the family when she was still a kid instead of choosing his brother. I wonder why. Did she put out for him?

VS

Jo (Burst Angel) - Her head looks like she dipped it in mercury. She seems kinda brain damaged also, so maybe that really is what happened.






Vote.

EDIT: I forgot to vote. Much as I like Walter, I like Onizuka slightly more. Integra is a no-brainer.

Thought I would give it a go. :)

Male: Eikichi Onizuka (GTO)

Female: Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing (Hellsing)

come on people this rumble needs your votes!

Male: Eikichi Onizuka (GTO)

Female: Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing (Hellsing)

The Hellsing characters in each gender, no fucking contest.

Male: Walter
Female: Integra

The Hellsing characters in each gender, no fucking contest.

Male - Walter

Female - Integra

Male - Walter. This guy shits all over Alfred Pennyworth.

Female - Integra. As badass as they come.

Males - Onizuka

Females - Integra

Male - Walter

Female - Integra

Male: Walter
Female: Integra

Walter C. Dornez (Hellsing) - 7
Eikichi Onizuka (GTO) - 4

Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing (Hellsing) - 11
Jo (Burst Angel) - 0


Jo = pwnt. Big wins for Hellsing.


Males:

Yattaran (Space Pirate Captain Harlock) - It's not the models he likes. It's the glue and paint. The smell of the glue and paint. And the feeling he gets from it.

VS

Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) - Oh look. Someone took Goku's personality and made it more retarded. Even more retarded is the fact that retarded seems to mean popular.



Females:

Chii (Chobits) - I just have one question. If she didn't know anything else, where did she learn to say "chii"? Is it just a plot hole or part of a sinister plot to overthrow the world's governments and replace them with pizza parlors?

VS

Yurika Misumaru (Nadesico) - Yeah, that's a great idea. Give the ship to some chick who can't count to 20 if she's not barefoot and pays more attention to a cook than unimportant things like fighting a war.




Remember. Rewards for regular voting. One lucky voter will get my car, which I will report stolen and collect insurance on, then replace with one that isn't a piece of utter crap.

Voting for Yattaran and Chii.

Male: Yattaran (Space Pirate Captain Harlock)

Female: Chii (Chobits)

I want a car now :) lol

Male: Yattaran
Female: Yurika

Monkey D. Luffy

don't know the females...

Yattaran and Chii

How can you not know Chii? o_o

Yattaran please.

wtf? how fast was the last round? i didnt even get to vote on it!

oh well. it's a good thing the two peeps i wanted to win won anyway.

Male: Yattaran (Can't stand One Piece)
Female: Chii

Male - Yattaran

Female - Chii

Yattaran (Space Pirate Captain Harlock) - 7
Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) - 1

Chii (Chobits) - 5
Yurika Misumaru (Nadesico) - 1


I almost feel bad for Monkey, seeing as he's generally the more popular of the two characters. But not here, it seems. Here there be sense.


Males:

Justy Ueki Tylor (Irresponsible Captain Tylor) - So you don't care, huh? Maybe you'll care when I put your name on the Loser list. Yeah, you want those votes now, don't you? Thought so.

VS

Vegeta (Dragonball) - Haha @ the pink shirt



Females:

Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun (Slayers) - A holier-than-thou crusader on a perpetual sugar rush. If King Richard had thought of that, the Muslims wouldn't have stood a chance and the world might just be a scarier place today.

VS

Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno (Love Hina) - Frequently drunk, but never drunk enough to take it all off. Don't you just hate that?





Remember to come back and vote on each round. Even if you don't know or care enough about the characters to vote, post something about. Start some discussion or something.

Male: Vegeta (Dragonball)
Female: Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun (Slayers)

Were's your vote Prak?

Male - Tylor

Female - Amelia

Male: Vegeta (Dragonball)
Female: Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun (Slayers)

Were's your vote Prak?

He doesn't vote...

No, I do vote now the first round is over and I can use another (and more impartial) tiebreaker method. I'm just so used to not voting that I forgot.

Voting for Tylor and Amelia though.

One for Vegeta here. D:

Male: Tylor
Female: Amelia

Male - Tylor

Female - Amelia

;____________; for the first time ever. you guys have just...touched me right here! *points to heart*. it's so beatiful when everyone votes the way I wanted you to vote. ;_; I LOVE YOU GUYS!! :D


Tylor and Amelia plox!

One for Vegeta here. D:

I second that.

Also throw in one for Mitsune.

Vegeta and Mitsune here.

Males - Vegeta

Females - Mitsune

Vegeta because DBZ's one of the few animes I have watched enough of to understand the story and Amelia because her character sounds more interesting.

Justy Ueki Tylor (Irresponsible Captain Tylor) - 6
Vegeta (Dragonball) - 7

Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun (Slayers) - 8
Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno (Love Hina) - 3


Whether Albel voted or not is debatable since he replied to a very specific part of the post he quoted, but I have to assume he did.


Males:

Char Aznable (Gundam) - Geez dude, a mask? Why not a haircut and a pair of glasses? That's just too normal for you, eh? Gotta draw attention to yourself... Kinda defeats the purpose of being in hiding!

VS

Arsene Lupin III (Lupin III) - This is what becomes of naughty little boys who just can't keep their hands out of that cookie jar. This is NOT an endorsement of stealing from cookie jars!



Females:

Yuki Nagato (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - Why is it the emotionless one is in charge of the mission and the one who fits in has to be the back-up? Whose e-penis did Yuki send packet floods to in order to get the job? And more importantly, did she save jizz.ini or clear the cache?

VS

Ruri Hoshino (Nadesico) - If your best friend is a computer and your parents are shadows on a wall, you might be a genetically engineered test tube baby.





Please forgive the Jeff Foxworthy joke. It was the best I could come up with. Ruri's a tough one for me to mock!

Voting for Char and Ruri.

Char and Ruri

Arsene Lupin III

"a conman is a better actor than an actor is a conman!"

:D lupin quotes are pure gold.

Male - Lupin

Female - Ruri

How is the tie in the males from last time being handled?

There is no tie. That was a typo. Vegeta won by one vote.

Lupin and Ruri

sorry, prak :(

Male: Char
Female: Ruri

Male: Char Aznable

Female: Ruri Hoshino

Char Aznable.

Fuck the female category in this round, I don't like either one.

Char Aznable (Gundam) - 5
Arsene Lupin III (Lupin III) - 3

Yuki Nagato (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - 0
Ruri Hoshino (Nadesico) - 6


Bit of an upset for Char there. I figured Lupin for the semi-finals at least. Meanwhile, the Haruhi crowd takes its first loss. They'll be put to the test again soon enough, and I figure another one may bite the dust before round 2 is finished.


Males:

Daitetsu Kunikida (Blue Seed) - Remind me to never let this guy look after my kids. It's hard to imagine someone with a worse track record as a guardian.

VS

Ryuho (Scryed) - Haha... his robot thing fights with ribbons. And wears a straightjacket. Like a crazy cheerleader.



Females:

Lum (Urusei Yatsura) - Why does an alien from an advanced civilization dress like Tarzan's mistress?

VS

Yomiko Readman (Read or Die) - Why paper? Why not coins or circuit boards or tablecloths or live birds? I'll tell you why. There's nothing more embarrassing than getting to Heaven and having to tell people you got killed by a papercut.





Better male characters coming back on Friday. Help weed out one of these in the meantime. Tough call on the females though.

I guess I'll go for Yomiko cause flying on a paper airplane is lol and Ryuho cause a crazy cheerleader robot is lol.

Vote Prak

Male - Daitetsu

Female - Lum

Males - Daitetsu

Females - Yomiko

Male: Ryuho
Female: Lum

Male - Ryuho; cutie pie cuddle butt ^___^

Female - Lum

Male: Ryuho
Female: Lum

Ryuho and Yomiko

Males - Daitetsu

Females - Yomiko

Daitetsu Kunikida (Blue Seed) - 3
Ryuho (Scryed) - 5

Lum (Urusei Yatsura) - 4
Yomiko Readman (Read or Die) - 4


Tiebreaker time. Lum's prior vote ratio is 75% and Yomiko's is 50%, so Lum advances.


Males:

Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - You just know he wonders if every person he meets is really a slider. There has to be one out there somewhere!

VS

Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist) - Didn't his momma ever tell him that when you play with fire, you can put an eye out?



Females:

Himeno Awayuki (Pretear) - If I were her, I would have told those knight jerks to buzz off if they called me something as stupid as Pretear.

VS

Haruhi Suzumiya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - Everyone knows God can be vengeful, jealous, and quick to anger, but who could have possibly known it was caused by PMS?





Double Haruhi this time. There's actually going to be quite a bit of that kind of thing this round, but at least there's no two characters from the same show directly competing with one another. Of course, that could very well happen later.

Voting for Mustang (Special gift for Gina even though I like Kyon more ;)) and Haruhi.

^__________________^
Thanks Prakillac. =P

Himeno Awayuki (Pretear) - 4
Haruhi Suzumiya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - 5


Narrow win for Haruhi. Big win for Roy. Maybe not having a real name is what killed Kyon. Beware, Gina, for Roy may not make it through round 3 and my uncompromising support ends here. But making it this far is an accomplishment!


Males:

Kazuma (s-CRY-ed) - This guy always seems to be in a bad mood. Let this be a lesson to all of you little boys out there; never try to masturbate with a clawed hand that can crush stone.

VS

Howl (Howl's Moving Castle) - *singing* I'd be friends with the sparrows, And the boy who shoots the arrows, If I only had a heart.



Females:

Shampoo (Ranma 1/2) - Was the idea for this character inspired by a certain Ted Nugent song?

VS

Millie Thompson (Trigun) - Don't step on her pudding. For the love of God, don't step on the damn pudding!





Howl and Millie for me.

Male - Kazuma

Female - Millie

Males - Howl

Females - Shampoo

Male - Kazuma

Male - Howl

Female - Millie

Kazuma (s-CRY-ed) - 5
Howl (Howl's Moving Castle) - 6

Shampoo (Ranma 1/2) - 4
Millie Thompson (Trigun) - 7


Dangit, Lee. When I said you should pop in and vote, I meant on this new one, not the one I was working on ending! No matter though. Howl was winning the tiebreaker.


Males:

Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) - haha he shares a name with Lord Abortion

VS

Tenchi Masaki (Tenchi Muyo) - Having so many different continuities must give a guy a major identity crisis. "Hi, my name is Tenchi and I have MPD. So do I. So do I."



Females:

Priscilla "Priss" Asagiri (Bubblegum Crisis) - Badass bike. Check. Badass leather jacket. Check. Badass hard rock band. Check. Badass power suit. Check. Badass name. Um...

VS

Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon) - Out of bubble bath? Not a problem!





I'll cast my vote later since I'm torn and I want to go ahead and get this posted.

Elric, obviously.

and i still havent seen BGC, so no vote for the females =/

Tenchi and Ami fuckers!

male - Edward Elric

female - Priss

Male: Edward Elric

Females: Priscilla

Oh - I thought you had some sort of 'your vote isn't counted unless you vote previously' thing going on.

Anyway, it should be obvious, but Edward Elric for the male. Who doesn't love the Fullmetal Alchemist?

And i'll vote Priss for the female, even though i've never seen BGC. But the Pris in Blade Runner was pretty awesome.

male - Edward Elric

female - Priss

Male- Edward Elric
Female- Sailor Mercury

Male - Edward Elric; ^___^ I so totally can't wait to meet Vic Mignoga this summer at Otakon!

Female - Ami; Sailor Scout 4 Lyfe!

Edward Elric and Ami, I guess

No love for Tenchi? Bitches

Male - Tenchi

Female - Priss

Male: Edward
Female: Priss

Since I forgot about it before, I'll put in my votes now for Tenchi and Priss.

Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) - 9
Tenchi Masaki (Tenchi Muyo) - 3

Priss Asagiri (Bubblegum Crisis) - 7
Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon) - 4


No need for Tenchi to hang around any longer.


Males:

Shotaro Kaneda (Akira) - If you looks close enough, you can see training wheels on his bike.

VS

Alucard (Hellsing) - Who is that name supposed to fool? Does anyone honestly not get it in three seconds or less? If you change your name because you're ashamed of getting beaten up by a guy with a dorky name like Abraham, do it properly!



Females:

Milia Fallyna Jenius (Macross) - So she got married to a guy who had just beaten her in a knife fight? That's barely a step above a cavewoman getting clubbed on the head and dragged away. Misogyny ftw!

VS

Yuri (Dirty Pair) - Banned from poker tables across the galaxy after someone saw her Bloody Card and thought she was cheating. She later decided it may have been a bad idea to paint it like an ace.





I would have picked Kaneda for a late elimination, but that's a really tough draw.

Alucard and Yuri for me.

Male- Alucard

Female - Yuri

Sorry Kaneda :(

Kaneda, but really tough choice.

I thought about voting for him since I figured Alucard would win anyway. I just don't know :(

Alucard and Milia

Kaneda and Milia

Alucard and Milia

omfg i can't believe ami lost! >.<

Male: Alucard

Female: Yuri

Male-Alucard

Female- Yuri

Male: Alucard

Female: Yuri

Male- Alucard

Female - Yuri

Sorry Kaneda :(

Alucard and Milia

Shotaro Kaneda (Akira) - 2
Alucard (Hellsing) - 9

Milia Fallyna Jenius (Macross) - 4
Yuri (Dirty Pair) - 6


Odin didn't vote. He missed Alucard's round. Everybody point and laugh.


Males:

Vicious (Cowboy Bebop) - The black sheep of his family. All of his brothers (Rabid, Brutal, Aggressive, and Just Plain Mean) became dentists.

VS

Count D (Pet Shop of Horrors) - I love to count! One crazy thing no sane person would keep as a pet. Two crazy things no sane person would keep as a pet...



Females:

Henrietta (Gunslinger Girl) - The perfect killing machine. Inconspicuous, powerful, and oh my god she'll be old enough to get PMS soon and we're all gonna die!

VS

Hyatt (Excel Saga) - The guys in the afterlife immediately regretted installing that new revolving door when she came in.





*points* haha @ Odin

Vicious and Hyatt for me, I guess.

Male - Vicious

Female - Henrietta

Vicious and Hyatt

Males - Vicious

Females - Hyatt

Vicious and Henrietta

Male- Vicious

Female- Hyatt

Males - Vicious

Females - Hyatt

Shotaro Kaneda (Akira) - 2
Alucard (Hellsing) - 9

Milia Fallyna Jenius (Macross) - 4

VS

[u]Hyatt (Excel Saga) - The guys in the afterlife immediately regretted installing that new revolving door when she came in.





*points* haha @ Odin

Vicious and Hyatt for me, I guess.



lmao. the males descriptions were great.


also. same voting as you. :p

Males - Vicious

Females - Hyatt

Male - Vicious

Female - Henrietta

Male: Count D
Female: Hyatt

Vicious (Cowboy Bebop) - 10
Count D (Pet Shop of Horrors) - 1

Henrietta (Gunslinger Girl) - 3
Hyatt (Excel Saga) - 8


Z's vote prevents a total shutout, but still two very decisive outcomes. Ironically, Vicious has caused less pain in his lifetime than any of his brothers.


Males:

Klaus Valca (Last Exile) - That's not a regular vanship. It's a minivanship. With soccer stickers. And wood paneling.

VS

Clef (Magic Knight Rayearth) - Clef for president of Cephiro! No one else can tell half-truths like he can, and everyone knows that's a requirement for successful politicians. He gets double points for it leading to the death of a world leader.



Females:

Aisha Clanclan (Outlaw Star) - Has served as a spokesperson for several major products, including Mr. Cleanclean, Cocacoca-Cola, and Little Caesars.

VS

Melfina (Outlaw Star) - One day she'll have kids. And then their friends will all call her MILFina.





Remember how I said a few matches ago that we wouldn't have any of this "two characters from the same show against each other" stuff. I missed this one. Sorry.

I really want to abstain this time, but I need to vote in every match from this point on. You'll know why soon. Anyway, I'll pick Clef and Aisha.

Male - Clef

Female - Aisha

Male: Clef
Female: Melfina

Klaus please.

Aisha ClanClan!

i love her. she's great.

Male - Clef

Female - Aisha

Clef and Melfina

I thought Klaus would pwn this one. Not complaining, though!

I HATE WHEN NDI AND I DISAGREE ON A VOTE

I die a little inside

But we're usually on the same page so it's ok :D

Klaus Valca (Last Exile) - 1
Clef (Magic Knight Rayearth) - 5

Aisha Clanclan (Outlaw Star) - 4
Melfina (Outlaw Star) - 2


Lower votes, but I expected that.

I've started distributing vote rewards. If you're a regular voter, watch your inbox over the next couple of weeks.


Males:

Akito Tenkawa (Nadesico) - So he can't cook ramen anymore. What a blow to the world this is. Mass suicides and catastrophic earthquakes will obviously ensue.

VS

Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask/Prince Endymion/Darien (Sailor Moon) - lol pedophile



Females:

Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura) - One day, she realized there wasn't much of a future associated with saving the world. Fortunately, Tomoyo was there to propose a new career path: posing for lolicon hentai pictures.

VS

Mai Tokiha (My-HiME) - I'd pay quite a lot to be able to tell her she's a terrible excuse for a magical girl and that she sucks for letting so many of her friends die. The resulting emo fit would be hysterically funny.





Lots of characters from magical girl shows this time. Voting for Mamoru and Sakura.

Male: Mamoru
Female: Mai for bewbies

Mamoru and Sakura

I HATE WHEN NDI AND I DISAGREE ON A VOTE

I die a little inside

But we're usually on the same page so it's ok :D

haha, me too!

I am always pretty happy when I see you've voted before me and I can just quote your post for my vote, though. :swoon:

Male: Mamoru

Female: Sakura

Lots of characters from magical girl shows this time. Voting for Mamoru and Sakura.

Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask/Prince Endymion/Darien (Sailor Moon) - 9

Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura) - 8
Mai Tokiha (My-HiME) - 1


pwnage


Males:

Tetsuro Hoshino (Galaxy Express 999) - They say that people carrying big guns are compensating for something, but he's a bit young to care about such things. On the other hand, since he's after a mechanical body, maybe he thinks that'll be his new peen.

VS

Louie (Louie the Rune Soldier) - Get him drunk enough and he'll cast magic missile at the darkness. He'll also clean out your Cheetos and Mountain Dew.



Females:

Gally/Alita (GUNNM/Battle Angel Alita) - When Gally met Johnny 5, it was love at first ocular input.

VS

Fuu Hououji (Magic Knight Rayearth) - In America, you can break wind. In Soviet Russia Cephiro, wind can break you.





I don't really want to choose between these, but I'll go for Louie for the humor value and Fuu just to support CLAMP a bit.

Male: Louie

Female: Fuu Hououji

Male: Louie

Female: Fuu Hououji

I'll be the bastard who goes against the grain and choose:

Tetsuro Hoshino and Gally

Male: Tetsuro
Female: Fuu

wow. since things are getting more serious now. i don't know if i should vote for anime chars i've never seen. so...i'm out this round. have fun peeps.


well actually. i did see galaxy express 999. but i don't remmeber anything about it cause it was a long time ago. so..i'm still out. :p

Male - Tetsuro

Female - Alita

By the way, this update was a day late, so I'm going to get back on schedule by making the next one later in the day tomorrow. I'll update normally on Friday.

Male: Louie

Female: Fuu Hououji

Tetsuro and Alita

Tetsuro Hoshino (Galaxy Express 999) - 4
Louie (Louie the Rune Soldier) - 4

Gally/Alita (GUNNM/Battle Angel Alita) - 3
Fuu Hououji (Magic Knight Rayearth) - 5


And Louie takes it in the tiebreaker, although just barely.


Males:

Hikaru Ichijyo/Rick Hunter (Macross/Robotech) VS Harry MacDowell (Gungrave)


Females:

Lafiel (Banner of the Stars) VS Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach)



No descriptions today. Voting for Harry and Lafiel. Also, it would be extremely unwise to tamper with my Lafiel vote, Tact. Just so you know.

Hikaru and Rukia

Male - Harry

Female - Lafiel

Hikaru and Rukia

Tetsuro Hoshino (Galaxy Express 999) - 4
Louie (Louie the Rune Soldier) - 4

Gally/Alita (GUNNM/Battle Angel Alita) - 3

And Louie takes it in the tiebreaker, although just barely.


Males:

Hikaru Ichijyo/Rick Hunter (Macross/Robotech) VS Harry MacDowell (Gungrave)


Females:

Lafiel (Banner of the Stars) VS Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach)



No descriptions today. Voting for Harry and Lafiel. Also, it would be extremely unwise to tamper with my Lafiel vote, Tact. Just so you know.



haha. you're lucky i'm not a bleach fan. (not cause i don't like it but because i stopped watching tv altogether O_o)

but actually. i wanna change your Harry vote instead. But I'm not sure if it'll make a diffrence in the long run so I'll wait it out a bit and see if such a move would be wize.


Rick Hunter for me. I don't care for the chicks as I don't know them personally.

Males - Harry MacDowell

Females - Rukia

Male - Harry

Female - Lafiel

Male - Harry

Female - Lafiel

Male - Harry

Female - Lafiel

ok fuck you all for going so much for harry. now even forcing prak's vote would be pointless. good thing i waited. -_-

:p

Hikaru Ichiyo and Lafiel.

Hikaru Ichijyo/Rick Hunter (Macross/Robotech) - 4
Harry MacDowell (Gungrave) - 6

Lafiel (Banner of the Stars) - 6
Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach) - 3


In case anyone is wondering what Tact and I were talking about in this last round, I've begun distributing vote rewards. Tact is the proud owner of a coupon good for changing my vote in a single match. Other rewards in circulation include Double Votes and Pick-A-Pair. If you're a regular voter, be sure your PM box isn't full. Odds are you'll get one of these before long.


Males:

Pedro (Excel Saga) - I said cry me a river, not a waterfall, you dumb beaner.

VS

Mitsurugi Hanagata (Saber Marionette J) - Did you ever wonder why homosexuality isn't more rampant on a world populated entirely by males? It's because the rest of them looked at this guy and said "Nuh uh. That's not me."



Females:

Nana (Elfen Lied) - After losing her arms and legs in a fight, she got a new job as one of those funny crash dummies.

VS

Seras Victoria (Hellsing) - Odin didn't vote for Alucard last time. lol





Pedro and Seras for me.

I'm going to vote for Pedro and Nana, just because I don't think Nana is going to get a lot of love.

Watch her pwn Seras Victoria and me look like a jerkbag.

Males - Pedro

Females - Nana

Seras


and darn. i was right. if i did change praks vote last round, it would have just been a tie. and he would have most likely broken it by going for harry anyway. sigh.

oh well. :p

Actually, I don't pick the winner at this point. I compare the percentages of the votes that they got in previous rounds. In this case, if you had switched my vote to tie it, Harry still would have edged it out as he got 9 out of 11 votes in his last match and Hikaru got 7/9. Percentage-wise, that's 81.82% VS 77.78%

Male - Pedro

Female - Nana

Male: Pedro

Female: Seras

Male: Pedro

Female: Seras

Why Nana and seras! Now i feel guilty for my vote =(

Pedro and Seras

Male- Pedro (Excel Saga)
Female- Seras Victoria (Hellsing)

Pedro (Excel Saga) - 8
Mitsurugi Hanagata (Saber Marionette J) - 0

Nana (Elfen Lied) - 3
Seras Victoria (Hellsing) - 6


Odin missed it again. haha


Males:

Captain Harlock (Space Pirate Captain Harlock) - After going to all that trouble to preserve all those other piratey stereotypes in a sci-fi setting, why leave out the ever-popular "Arrr"? I want my "Arrr," dammit.

VS

Mugen (Samurai Champloo) - Hip-hop samurai voiced by Samuel L. Jackson = cool. ...This isn't that one? Oh. Then it's just lame because only Samuel L. Jackson can make a concept that retarded cool.



Females:

Misuzu Kamio (Air) - Never trust a Buddhist. Sure they act all serene to your face, but turn your back on them and BAM, you're cursed.

VS

Eureka (Eureka 7) - So how many times do we have to go through this whole "learning about emotions" things before Japan finally realizes it's beating a dead horse and moves on to more original material.





Captain Harlock and Misuzu. As Harlock is one of the small handful of characters I truly care about, the use of a CPV is not recommended. It could have fatal side effects. Well, not really, but I'll hate you forever.

Mugen and Eureka

Steve Blum did an excellent job on Mugen so in that case, Captain Harlock's a scrub. Kthx.

lol. eureka got owned. great description prak. hahaha

since i'm not completely in LOVE with anyone here. i'm gonna see if i can...bribe prak in future rounds by somewhat GUARANTEEING this round goes in his favor. ya know what i mean? (coughisratchyourbackyouscratchmine)

so my vote goes to Captain Harlock

just don't forget your promises. what promises? oh i'll let you know. just dun muss up or i'll break your legs, so says the Don.



btw. if you want arr's for real check out moby dick. :p

Male: Mugen

Female: Eureka

Harlock and Misuzu

Attention people (Tact) who are unsure of who to vote for:



Misuzu is the cutest ever. ; ;

Boy: Mugen

Girl: Misuzu Kamio

Both must win for great justice.

Also, how many rounds are there left?

Male - Harlock

Voting otherwise is blasphemy

Female - Misuzu

Male: Harlock
Female: Eureka

Harlock and Misuzu

Harlock

havent seen SC yet, sorry Gina :(

Mugen and Misuzu

Harlock and Misuzu

Attention people (Tact) who are unsure of who to vote for:



Misuzu is the cutest ever. ; ;


yah. i've noticed lots of peeps say that. but...i don't know. to be honest.

i've seen cuter.


*insert broken heart sound effect here for anyone who was shocked by the last statement* ^_^

Harlock and Eureka
