Compared to DMM, it’s funny how Western audiences are slanted to care more about rarity, with the 6*s disproportionately hoarding the top slots. In Japan it was more competitive across all rarities.

Surprising results for me: I would not have guessed Aizoon as #1 given how new she is. Madonna being so low is disapppointing but, eh, not everyone is going to be blessed with great taste.

What really surprises me is Victoria being lower than I expected, I would’ve guessed Top 5 for her given her voice alone. Anemone and Ardisia are two of my other favorites and I’m pleasantly surprised for them, they’re higher than I would’ve guessed.

EDIT: Oh, I didn’t realize this popularity contest rewards the winner with a special gacha. No wonder everyone’s voting for 6* characters. And all this time I was supporting Madonna just because she’s my favorite. Should’ve voted for a 6* from the start.

Are people surprised by the voting or is it like everyone expected?

Acacia being in the top 3 surprised me as I didn't think she was popular at all
and wow Apple of Sodom is at #6 congrats on the people who managed to get their fave gold that high
I brought her when they did a £5 deal with her but I didn't think she was that popular

Ardisia, Burning Bush, Bush Clover are also characters I didn't think were that popular

What I'm super surprised at is Lycoris not being in the top 10


I would like to see a popularity poll of just gold characters to see the ranking difference

The special gacha is also a huge part of why Aizoon is currently number 1; collectors/veteran whales have the most/all of the other girls.

Also in DMM the winners get special alternate versions, so people whale pretty hard for their favorites to win.

Funny enough, the special gacha reward sort of defeats the purpose of the popularity contest.

Every time one of these is done, the newest 6* character is destined to win no matter how much we like or dislike her characterization.

I’d prefer it if Nutaku offered the additional reward of accelerating the release of the winner’s Bloomed form, that would justify me voting Madonna.

That's not entirely true, at least historically. The last time we had this event, the winners were Herbaceous Peony, Lycoris, and Black Baccara (don't recall the placing); while HB was newer than the other two, she premiered in the previous event (Acacia was the new 6* in the popularity contest event).
