We enjoyed a pleasant snoozer over the weekend. The Tornado of Terror thoroughly crushed her opponent with the same ease she does for enemies in One Punch Man. We perhaps have another sleeper. Fighting for the right to move, we have the long time memer and meme-sensation, Konata Izumi versus the Ghiblian princess, Nausicaä.
** 8. Konata Izumi / Lucky Star **
Ah! Lucky Star! Both famous and infamous among internet denizens for establishing classic anime memes, promoting a positive image of otakuism, pushing the moe aesthetic, and setting the final line between the old school anime industry and modern.
Konata is the long and blue haired heroine of the show, and with her quartet of friends, Kagami, Miyuki, and Tsukasa she survives Millennial Japanese high school all while indulging her hobbies of anime and video games, hobbies inhereited from her otaku and lolicon father. Ever mischeivous, Konata loves a good tease and loves to prank her friends. She may not be brightest or hardest working student, but she has street smarts and charm to help her get by. If you like the down-to-earth otaku girl, vote for Konata.
** RR 25. Nausicaä / Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind **
Nausicaä did relatively well during the Royal Rumble match, shining brightly against a formidable weaponized android and a boobacious battle idol. While Nausicaä may not have meme status, she does have nobility to her character having come from the prestigious
"We have the sole representative from Studio Ghibli and perhaps the best. Nausicaä is the sole princess of the Valley who loves and finds that the world is attacking humanity with miasma for failing to be proper national socialist and genuine and non-gay ethno-enviromentalists.
Nausicaä has it all being trained in the royal arts, naturalist studies, and combat. She even has psychic powers, with some basic telepathy and the ability to communicate with plants. With her power, she takes on the Torumekian Empire and Dorok Principalities to stop the destruction of her home. She wishes for all NatSoc enviromentalists to vote for her to help her succeed."
With the post-holiday weekdays, change in voting system, and match line-up, voting has been lackluster so far.
We can still glean from what we have. Both Millennials and Zoomers remember Konata and Lucky Star fondly, while not many have watched Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Those who have, especially the older among Fedi users, prefer the warrior-princess to the textbook definition of Moe-blob. Still, most find Konata more compelling. How this will play out, and whether we will reach past seventy-five votes, remains to be seen.
The new voting system seems to work well. So far, nobody has tried to cheat. Vote count still remains low. Whether that's just from the sum total of circumstances, or egregious cheating egregiously inflated other vote totals, we have to wait and see. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions, especially for get people to vote and have fun.
As for the match itself, Konata had a stream of support in the early evening, which dismayed fans of the anime natsoc Führein; and yet, the spiritual mana of the Führein's supporters managed to bring a group of voters in the late evening as we close for the night. A six vote difference will be easy to grasp if Nausicaä's team can muster in the votes.
Keep voting and supporting your girls. Remember that even if I don't see votes on the Baest thread, I will see them tomorrow and count them. Don't give up or slow down. Until the morning, oyasumi Fedi! :senko_nap:
