I'm interested in seeing how the results turn up for the next readers poll, but the last one was only 2 months ago so it's probably a fair while off.
At the rate it's going, Marika might scrape in ahead of Onodera for top spot, or at least make it very close.

Edit: I predict Yui will make it to about 4th quite easily. Just behind Chitoge but above Tsugumi and Ruri.

Just remember, even TWGOK (of all series) ended with Keima picking a girl. There's hope for the harem genre yet!

Who'd he end up with? I'm curious, but not enough to catch back up to what was apparently a rushed ending.

Onodera Kosaki is the worst and an entire episode devoted to her is therefore the worst.

At least we got this face out of it

I think authors are pretty afraid of having the protag choose someone. I remember there being a giant poo poo storm over Ichigo 100% back in the day.

Ichigo 100% also did the practically never done thing of the protag choosing someone who's not the designated main heroine, which a lot of people were not happy about. I thought it was a good story choice personally, though the execution leading up to it was a bit contrived.

Nisekoi probably won't do that though and Chitoge/Onedera/status quo is the most likely result unfortunately.

They actually did a really good job of this episode, I'm quite impressed, but that just means the bar is set high for episode 20, the Romeo and Juliet play.

For some odd reason I always like HanaKana characters to start with, but another character grows on me later on. Another example of this is IS, Char was a miracle of the universe but I came to like Laura more after reading the LNs (s2 helped solidify her spot as my favourite).

Hanazawa is great for certain types of characters, but I don't think Onodera is one of them. Like, I could see pretty much any other actress with similar range playing Onodera.

poo poo, Hisako Kanemoto did a pretty good job in the vomic shorts. If you want to talk about great jobs so far regarding this series, Mikako Komatsu as Tsugumi or Kana Asumi as Marika are both great AND a goddamn riot. Of course, listening to Hiyama in those precious moments when he appears to remind us who's the King after all these years. :allears:

I was a little worried at first that Kana Asumi would've gone too overboard with the role, but she's doing a drat good job of it so far.

You'd have to try really hard to go overboard with Marika.

HiveCommander
Jun 19, 2012

If she was to be hyper-genki like Nyaruko it would be overdoing it. Thankfully she only gets liek that when Marika slips back into her old speech habits, which works quite well.

Char will always be a miracle of the universe, no matter what happens.

That said, pretty much everyone in Nisekoi--VA-wise--is great. I'm enjoying it immensely.

I've been following the manga and I'm pleasantly surprised so far; is the anime worth a watch?

Shaft animated it, so it's pretty. It's a faithful adaption otherwise, so if you like the manga enough to want to watch it animated then sure why not.

Okay so we've got the shy girl, the tsundere, the easily embarrassed girl, the (awesome) comedy option, the underclassman, and now the not blood related "sister". Has Nisekoi hit the full spectrum of romantic archetypes yet?

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say no.

Finding out that the editor of Nisekoi was also the editor of Gintama explains a lot. Also Marika is his favorite character.
