Wow, Wario ranked real low. The fools!
Knowing how the Japanese are, they love magical little girls and fighter pretty boys with crazy hair, it's no wonder Ashley and Young Cricket ranked the top.
Hey how did you manage to find a Japanese Wario fanbase? I can't find Japanese fanbases for the life of me. Unless it's like Pokemon or Zelda...

Mona Pizza (13) - huh? 7. Fronk/Shaggy (13) 7. Pyoro (13) 7. Ana (13) 11. Wario (11) 12. Kat (8) 12. Red (8) 16. Jimmy T. (4) 16. Dr. Crygor (4) 21. Spitz (3) 21. Mike (3) 26. 18-Volt (2) 26. Dribble (2) (the ones I haven't listed are a bunch of minor characters) Second voting (December 4, 2006 - February 28, 2007): 1. Ashley (155) 2. Young Cricket (50) 3. 9-Volt (48) 4. Mona (28) 5.

I can't find Japanese fanbases for the life of me. Unless it's like Pokemon or Zelda... I usually stumble into those by searching character names in katakana with Google. |

Karma up for that, Grandy. What the fuck is 9-Volt's mother doing on there? Does he even have a mom? And why is Jimmy T so low?!
GAH! Why do the Japanese get all these polls and we don't get any?
And on a completely different matter... Barrack Obama is now the president. Just thought I'd tell you British folk ;D

Oh yeah, Barrack Obama is now the president. Just thought I'd tell you British folk ;D He has a mother, but you only see a silhoutte of her or her feet in slippers. I have no clue why she ranked so high. This is actually a fanmade poll, you could just make one as well.  Jimmy T.? Hm, the designs of Ashley and Young Cricket obviously resemble that of the "typical" manga/anime character. Jimmy is drawn in a very different style, maybe he isn't "Japanese" enough? Anyway, I can't really tell why. I want to know what's about 9-Volt's mother at first. |

Hmmm...
With the internet how it is these days, that looks more like a poll of which character you would most like to bang.
Hence 9 Volts mom.

If it's fanmade, that it can't be trusted. Besides, they brought every single character in the series, which is quite the overdone stretch.
Gah, what was this topic about again?
Ah, I think I got it now...
Will Nintendo really be able to make animated series out of their franchises? Would they actually have the funding for it?

But that's basically the money for making games. They've animated before a lot, haven't they?
There was that Animal Crossing movie...
Sucks that it didn't make it elsewhere.

Not to mention a couple of anime series.

I think they, like most gaming studios, outsource when they get animated clips. I know they did that for Wario Land: Shake It!, which had some pretty impressive cutscenes.

Eh, call me old fashioned, but I'd rather have 3D cutscenes over anime ones. Sure, with WarioWare it fit, but considering how much detail they put into the sprites, you'd think they could've done more with the cutscenes. |
