[Discussion] Poll results!

[star-of-heaven.livejournal.com]

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!

[aoi-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Woah =O I'm kind of surprised by the results, but then I don't have a real strong feel for the fandom yet since I just got into it XD I'm pretty happy with the results though and the banners you made are so pretty *w* It's interesting to see some characters who haven't been put into the actual series yet have almost the same amount of characters who have been featured/shown a lot more *coughHongKongcough* Then again I love Hong Kong too so XD *shrugs*

That is a mighty fine picture of Alfred. Almost makes me guilty for not voting for him XD

[lb-x.livejournal.com]

.... embarrassing typo is so embarrassing.

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

Woo EN-GER-LAND!! I feel all patriotic now. ^^

The fact that Russia won kind of terrifies me though.

[scarfwearsyou.livejournal.com]

*pleased smile~*

Of course everyone loves me. You'll all be one with me eventually~

[princessarisa.livejournal.com]

B-but apparently most of us want to be~

[princessarisa.livejournal.com]

My top two got first and second place!!!!!! YESH! XD

B-but poor poor Prussia... ;____; So close, yet so far from his little bro.... Aw well, he's sixth, so I'm content.

I-i'm surprised about France... And I'm glad Liet is getting a lot more love than I thought he did.

[princessarisa.livejournal.com]

I feel ridiculously patriotic now. ^/////////^
Oh Al~ I adore you. almost as much as Ivan...

[metallic-sweet.livejournal.com]

ALL WILL BECOME ONE WITH RUSSIA, YES. ♥

[sephy-j-maxwell.livejournal.com]

Lithuania ALMOST MADE IT! X3 That makes me happy for some reason.

Russia, lol. What can I say...

[hilaryscribbles.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm saying! Go Lithuania! Shooooot. XD

[vsheartbreaker.livejournal.com]

Wow, am I surprised at Russia winning 1st place? You bet I am O_______O KINDA PROUD AS WELL THOUGH XD

AWESOME. I have to gloat a little.

[hilaryscribbles.livejournal.com]

YAY RUSSIA (and America too, of course)!! Ivan is my favorite!

And lookie there! You go, Lithuania. Bit sad Poland wasn't a little bit higher up, though. :)

[theweewoo.livejournal.com]

Haha, I guess the west prefers yandere and the east prefers tsundere?

And its just natural to love your country alot, I s'ppose, no matter what it is.

Stupid, sexy Al.

And ahaha, ach, poor Romano!

[spanishwire.livejournal.com]

lol, cyprus. poor baby.

[kohikki.livejournal.com]

I'm very content with these results.
My only top favourite who didn't make the top five is Canada. :D

[synzunea.livejournal.com]

The results fill my heart with joy <3

Not surprising, since everyone will be one with Russia. RIGHT? RIGHT?

[insomniel.livejournal.com]

France nii-sama! I'm sorry, I didn't love you hard enough!!!

But I'm pleased with these results and these sexy manly banners. (Obviously voted for the top 3 like the biased person she is.) I'm only slightly concerned with the western fandom's apparent psychological state. Perhaps we have already caved into the inevitable?

[truffle.livejournal.com]

Somehow I'm not surprised at all - rather, DELIGHTED with these results~ and that Roma Antiqua's in the top 30 HAR HAR YAY. xD

Oh Russia bay-bee~ His supremacy's going to go to his head... >u>

_{Aw, and poor TRNC...}

[xhiro-xhiro.livejournal.com]

wow lol, I'm actually kind of surprised at the results. I knew Russia was popular but... I'm surprised N. Italy and Germany aren't higher up and the runner-ups are really surprising imo.

America looks really hot. Also, the banners are really nice! *w*

[lilac-flora.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised that russia got the first vote. He is so much popular more than I thought. But I'm pleased with other top five.

[sapphire-pyro.livejournal.com]

wow, UK is in the top 3 in both polls xD He's that loved. Wheee! =3

[nanahashi.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised for Prussia managed to climb in top10 and though his limit-screen. And his place is only after his brother, this made me really really really happy. XD

[mighty-mu-mu.livejournal.com]

The people who ranked low were kinda predictable, since they barely appeared if ever.

And the characters in the top seem to get the most exposure. So yes. (Yay America~)

This icon reminds me of Russia's scary expressions, hur.

[siberia-tan.livejournal.com]

My country got the first place! OMG, I am so happy and I love everyone in the world! *_* Let's become one, everyone, aha-ha-ha! ^o^/ Now I should celebrate it, even though it's just a fandom win. And those banners are wery sexay, btw. =3

[bipolarbliss.livejournal.com]

I ttly knew that Russia would be first! xD srsly
WAIT?! AMERICA PWN'D UK, AGAIN? -pouts-

Yay~ Germany! You're in the top five!! (with Prussia trailing behind... ah, it's ok Gilbo! We all still love you!! The fact that you techincally don't exist anymore, and still be able to get no. 6 proves it's so!!)

Ah, as a Reborn fangirl too, when I pair them up via the numbering system... 2718... oh my. Wth?

[neodios.livejournal.com]

Not Enough Love for Prussia!
