And it’s over… ! After a month and almost 4,000 total votes later, Belldandy emerges as AoMM’s first March Madness champion. A toast!

image

Out of the 1,200+ votes, 90% of the votes from Japan went to Belldandy. 75% of the votes from France went to Chidori. ~67% of the votes from Singapore went to Chidori. ~67% of the votes from Austrailia went to Belldandy.

If there’s one thing that I learned from this experience is that the lolicon contigent is quite significant. Both Shana and Nanoha put up stiff resistance, but I suspect both got boosts from the timing of their shows. All of the matches were interesting, and I was most gripped by the epic Shana vs Belldandy battle. Thanks to everyone who voted. I’m glad to see such interesting discussions and input from such a wide range of people. Hopefully, yet another March, the madness will return.

Bell’s prize? She graces the new blog好き header.

Bell’s supporter’s prize? Fanservice, yo.

    What is THE Singapore? Erm if its 67 percent, doesnt that mean there were 2 out of 3?

    Anyway, congrats to Belldandy I guess. Boo! Yakumo and Eri should’ve won.

    Nooo :(
    Chidori is sooo much better!
    I wish my IRC worked… so I could get people to vote for Chidori.

    wow i thought belldandy was gona lose when i saw she was behind after i voted for her
    GO BELLDANDY

    i also agree that school rumble girls should have been up for picks lol

    that belldandy from the new series looks more european or western than the old one

    wow just amazing the last time I saw the poll it was 70% 70% this was indeed not a dissapointment. If I make a suggestion we should have Summer Madness next because you all know Summer is the ‘hottest’ of them all ;). Congrats to Belldandy! Cheers

    -Jason (Another Jason lol)

    Thank the gods for the Japanese. :D

    Notice how the US isn’t even ranked, I guess the impetus to vote is also weak when it comes to American Otakus as well. It really sad in a way…

  12. 1 Apr 2006 at 9:29:41 PM jpmeyer

    Hahaha jason pwnd my blogsuki link

  13. 1 Apr 2006 at 9:56:34 PM Tsubaki

    I suppose why the only reason people from singapore voted for Chidori is because Full Metal Panic vcd/dvd are avaliable there.

    Nobody knows Shana, Nanoha here. Unless they`re are a religious anime bittorrent follower like me. lol.

  14. 1 Apr 2006 at 10:45:38 PM jluglue

    good show both sides.

    lotsa emotion (!_!) for both characters

    good show, good show

  15. 2 Apr 2006 at 12:47:36 AM Hikaryu

    Yeah!!! Belldandy won!! Party!!!!^^

  16. 2 Apr 2006 at 1:41:46 AM abao

    Singaporean aso. Its sad but true that most S’poreans dunno about the newer anime series floating around the internet. At most they only watch Naruto or Bleach through Bt. I blame the current Broadband Companies for this.

  17. 2 Apr 2006 at 4:11:11 AM Lanz

    *raises a flag*

    WOOHOO!!! BELL MANAGeD TO GET THE TOP SPOT!!! Way to GO!!! ^_^

  18. 2 Apr 2006 at 7:09:00 AM Hikaryu

  19. 2 Apr 2006 at 3:43:54 PM Edward

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Three cheers for Belldandy!!!

  20. 2 Apr 2006 at 9:23:51 PM novalisk

    Well, congrats to Belldandy!
    My favourites are Shana and Nanoha though, I liked their characters.

    belldandy deserves to win…she’s soooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!

  23. 3 Apr 2006 at 5:50:47 AM Hikaryu

    I completely agree to that. But I think she is more to beauty than cuteness. Well, thats my opinion.

  24. 3 Apr 2006 at 11:44:05 AM enthor.mw

    Congratulations to Belldandy and all of her supporters–

    After all, it *was* the Ultimate Force that helped us to victory…

  25. 3 Apr 2006 at 3:40:11 PM Hikaryu

    Hahaha… good one.

  26. 4 Apr 2006 at 5:28:09 AM wontaek

    If any of the School Rumble girls were in the poll, I would have voted for them against any other girls here.

  27. 4 Apr 2006 at 8:01:58 AM Hikaryu

    Is it THAT good?

  28. 4 Apr 2006 at 11:51:41 AM wontaek

    If that was a real question, Hikaryu, Scream Yakumo around people who might see some Anime and count how many yells Eri back at you. Even better, yell Nemu and time how quickly you will be surrounded by angry Kotori Fan. Anyone want to try this in real life?

  29. 4 Apr 2006 at 10:22:40 PM Hikaryu

    Sadly, I know nothing about school rumble. Try that in real life and maybe I’ll get zero or immeadiate attention. Depends on the place you’re in. Anyway, Bell forever! What does FTW mean? Pwned?

  30. 4 Apr 2006 at 10:39:20 PM jason

    >> 28

    Like I said before, my biggest mistake was not expanding the contest to include more competitors, and Nemu would have been one of them. As would Rei Ayanami.

    >> 29

    FTW = “for the win.” I played too much World of Warcraft.

    Pwned = owned. I played too much Starcraft.

  31. 5 Apr 2006 at 12:03:15 AM Hikaryu

    Thanks. How did owned turned imto pwned?

    Bell winning is the only way for the world to keep turning. Anything else just doesn’t make sense. ^_^ So hurray for all the people who voted for Bell!

  34. 5 Apr 2006 at 10:19:21 PM Hikaryu

    Yeah! Hurray!!! Bell 4 eva!!! Eternal!!!

  35. 6 Apr 2006 at 6:24:15 AM DrmChsr0

    It’s a case of chibi-Bell pwning all.

    I demand more chibi-Bell.

    And while we’re at it, more love for Mini-Goddess.

  36. 6 Apr 2006 at 9:53:35 AM Hikaryu

    Belldandy is the greatest.
    The most beautiful, sweet woman ever.
    Its up to us real men, that woman like her and women in general do not come to face any undue harm and injustice.

  42. 21 Feb 2010 at 12:02:14 PM AK

    Yah! Belldandy Won.
