The Twice Is Nice (Viewers' Selection) Poll: Results

And the race is over! That was a bit too wild! Even after I intervened to put limitations on the voting and reset the votes, it still was an intense competition, with the majority of the votes divided by Team Summer Wars and Team Totoro. In the end Mei won out, with just a 1% lead, or about 10 votes in total. It would seem that if I do these participatory contests again, I will need to limit the voting even further, probably to a maximum of 3 votes per person in total. The idea was to allow for having multiple choices with your votes, but unfortunately there is no limitation where a person cannot use one's available votes on a single option. Still, with the votes almost equally divided between the two leaders and one constantly jumping over the other, I don't think that one voters' block was given an unfair advantage over the other, and as a poll progresses, people will automatically start voting more strategically.

So Totoro's Mei will be this month's Twice Is Nice, I'll try to have her ready this weekend. I was also surprised by the high demand for Summer Wars, since I haven't done any Hosoda movies. Very interesting as well were numbers 4 and 3 in the polls: Whisper Of The Heart is one of these Ghibli films I never based any material on, and most surprising was Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid in third place, a series I haven't even checked out yet.

Oh, I asked the person who suggested Mei if they wanted credit, but they prefer to remain anonymous. So thanks to everybody for participating, and remember that the poll for the next Exclusive is still going as well.
