2025 January Poll Characters results
Added 2025-01-26 21:03:45 +0000 UTCHello Patrons! I have finally got some of the results for part of the polls for January 2025. First are the character polls.
I admit it has taken me too long to make these graphs, but they are really exciting for me to see. I'm sure there is a way easier way to make these graphs, but anyway, here are the reults, with a few breakdowns to help make it easier to see some of the cluttered lines.
Most notably, Gay and Straight Roomates, who have consistently been on top, have been dethroned by the Energy Boost guys, Tetsuya, Shimizu, And and Koizumi! Also Big Bad Wolf, and Blake and Randy joined the polls at a tie, a modes 100 votes each.
Do have a look at the results, and let me know if you have any thoughts about what was written. Information really is power, so your input will help me a lot. You can tell my why you like certain characters, or why you dislike them. You may comment below! Thanks again to all who participated.
More results from the polls will be made at a later time, I wanted to make graphs such as these but they are too time-consuming, but will be fun to see the results. Watch out for them before the end of the month!

Face Slap is one of the hottest Maruten animations! I’d love to see more cock slapping

2025-01-27 04:22:03 +0000 UTCThanks for making these graphs! They really clearly illustrate some of the trends that have arisen around your work over the years. This comment might be a little long and only comes from my perspective, but I appreciate the effort you put in, so I want to provide a little bit of feedback. I think a lot of the most popular characters have two things in common. The first is direct, immediately recognizable stories, conflicts, and situations: nerds and jocks, stressed teammates, meeting a hot stranger on the train, and rival gamers( Trent and Dylan are my fav). The second is plot points in the videos with extra points for plot over the course of several videos. For example, the gay and straight roommate moving from FWB to boyfriends or, for plots in one video, Ando’s jealousy in energy boost turning into something else after the halfway point. Even the small reference to Trent and Dylan going back and forth over their wagers really sets the tone for their videos. I think newer stuff being popular is a testament to your growth as a creator with more complex animations on nearly every level, from dialogue to poses. I think you keep making characters and stories that resonate, so new stuff will overtake old stuff sometimes. As for less popular / fantastical characters, I feel like the fantasy characters also come with kinks that are more niche or may miss some story elements? Stealthwick is a solo char with tentacles and Massimo has some hyper dick stuff. On story, the poor Spunlkings are dialogue-less, which I think fits for a more vibe-y animation that you may have been going for. ( I was so excited for the other videos in that project too :( lol) I’m curious to see if you made a piece in a fantasy setting with a more vanilla set up would perform better? Like an adventuring party(could have various races, orcs, demons, satyrs, elves, humans) having a fireside orgy or the classic nighttime visit from an incubus? I think that’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks so much for the great work over the years and I hope 2025 treats you well!
