[Discussion] Poll results!

A little while ago, I posted a poll asking for favorite characters. Well, I finally decided to stop being lazy and make pretty banners for the top five. I must admit, part of me was surprised by the results, and another part not so much.



(254 votes) And the winner is our resident adorable psychopath with over 200 votes! I probably shouldn't be surprised, but a part of me is. But the fans have spoken, and Russia is the favorite by far!


(179 votes) Second place is the self-proclaimed hero! I'm kind of surprised he got so high, but he's one of my favorites, so I'm happy.


(174 votes) Third place is our beloved tsundere! I think it's the eyebrows. In the Japanese poll, he won first place.


(119 votes) Fourth place is the closest this series has to a main character! He did a lot better than his brother; maybe it's because he's cuter, or maybe it's because he has more screen time.


(114 votes) And fifth place is the supposedly humorless hardass! In the Japanese poll, he ranked above N. Italy by 20 votes, but in this poll, he trails N. Italy only by five.

And the rest of the results are:
6. Prussia - 97
7. Lithuania - 94
8. Austria - 93
9. Sweden - 87
10. France - 74
11. Poland - 73
12. China - 69
12. Japan - 69
12. Switzerland - 69
15. Hungary - 65
16. Greece - 64
17. Canada - 57
18. Finland - 56
19. Spain - 48
20. Sealand - 41
21. Italy (South) - 37
22. Korea - 35
23. Hong Kong - 34
24. Turkey - 32
25. Iceland - 29
25. Latvia - 29
27. Roma Antiqua - 22
28. Norway - 17
29. Liechtenstein - 16
30. Denmark - 14
30. Egypt - 14
30. German - 14
33. Belarus - 13
34. Taiwan - 11
35. Estonia - 9
35. Vietnam - 9
37. Ukraine - 8
38. Cuba - 7
39. Tibet - 6
40. Belguim - 3
40. Seychelles - 3
42. Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - 0

In comparison to the Japanese poll (the results are translated in this comment), some of these results are quite different. In the Japanese poll, Russia nor America was in the top five, and in this poll, Japan and Switzerland weren't even in the top ten.


So, reactions to the results? Surprised? Happy? Tell us your thoughts!

PRUSSIA BEAT FRANCE. AND AUSTRIA. AGAIN. \o/ With this he should be able to live with being second to his little brother - also, AGAIN. ;)

Other than that, UK > US, dammit! Russia FTW. The fandom is clearly already one with him. ♥

My Inner Greece is pleased to see that Turkey has FAILED. (Naw, not really. Po'thing.)

But this Hitman Reborn fangirl, is translating all the numbers into pairings...And I'm just loling.

But I are pleased that Greece is at least in the top twenty. <333 *huggles him*

Thanks for compiling the results! It's really interesting to see what kind of characters people enjoy most... and the banners are pretty! Looks like the nations who don't get to appear much tend to cluster in the bottom positions.

Congratulations, Russia!

*very satisfied with the results*
You go, Arthur~ <3

(Had I known about this BEFORE the polls closed I would have voted.)
Oh noes, Finland! D:!!! Well... at least he's in the top 20.

It's funny to see the small differences in American vs. Japanese fandom's 'agendas,' for lack of better word. XD What's most appealing, etc. I would like to subscribe to their newsletter -- No one I chose is in the top ten, and I feel that's pretty awesome. Never change, Hetalia.

...Russia's number 1... Seriously?! xDDDD (But hey, top 10, go Liet~! <3)

Lovely banners; by the way, where'd you find the pictures? I don't think I've seen most of 'em~

OH RUSSIA. OH FANDOM. THIS CAN'T BODE WELL FOR OUR PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.

I'm also somewhat amused that America seems to be so much more popular in the Western fandom than in the Japanese one. Maybe American readers are just all the more appreciative that Alfred is portrayed the way he is. :'D

OH HI THERE Germany. You are loved. <3

[identity profile] pallasathene87.livejournal.com 2008-11-29 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Americans/Westerners like teh crazee? :D

...God in the Japanese poll Japan and England are like...hundreds of votes beyond EVERYONE else. Japan I understand, but I wonder why Britian? (or is that the tsundere thing?)

[identity profile] red-underthebed.livejournal.com 2008-11-28 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I expected as much, of course. *adds another tally to his victories over Alfred*

Oh, I love Russia, but I'm surprised he is the first anyway!

There is one, and quite the punkish and rough kinda guy too IIRC (he was mentioned in the Christmas Rampage IIRC), it's just Kitayume didn't draw him yet.

Can you believe I was about to go 'what image are you referring to, I don't see him holding any guns...' WHAT THE WHAT.
