Since Sonoda Umi and Kisaragi Chihaya are the same character, you can combine the votes and she becomes #1.
wow Fusion Power just like Gokou and Vegeta: UmiChi or Chihami.
I find no evidence of that. While they look similar, they are from different series... They also don't have the same VA, other than the age, there's nothing that link them, even their height is different.
you forgot personality.
No shit? That's pretty cool didn't know that.
Whoops read to fast. I thought same va. Lolz. Same character, I second that notion.
List needs pictures...
Yayoi, Miki and Hibiki placed so low, it breaks my heart.
And the hell Otsu doing up there lol
?? Top Idol Miki Miki is #2 brah~!
'Top idol' is supposed to be at 1, brah.
How did Haruka Amami got on top? She's the most average and least memorable character in the group O.O
The power of the main heroine... probably dojikko as well?
You could say she....
( •_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
Stumbled to the top.
YYYYEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Seriously, being designated the main character is pretty much the only thing she has going for her. I really hate it when someone decides that MC position should go to one of the most average characters there is. There is a difference between being well-rounded, and being just plain, you know. I guess to be fair, "main" is very loose with this franchise considering all the girls get a decent amount of focus (and in the original game, you're really just expected to focus on one girl with no particular bias but the player's own), but she still manages to be the representative face and thus gets slightly more top-billing than everyone else.
Also, just have to say I'm really saddened that Azusa's second to the last IM@s girl on this list. T_T
I guess it's because of her Age? lol
Ritsuko is also down on the list just before Azusa.
I have rearranged the ranking for proper flaming purposes:
Top Idolmaster
1. Haruka
2. Miki
5. Chihaya
7. Yukiho
12. Takane
14. Makoto
16. Hibiki
18. Yayoi
19. Iori
20. Mami
22. Ritsuko
24. Azusa
27. Ami
Top Love Live
3. Kotori
4. Maki
6. Honoka
8. Nico
9. Nozomi
10. Eri
11. Rin
15. Umi
17. Hanayo
and macross tops them all, right?
Haruka!?!?! Who The Fuck was voting? Wota, that want their fictional housewives to be useless virgins, that can neither sing nor dance, and will be irrationally devoted to them?
Arghhh! I must cleanse my brain with some NTR ;)
Troll harder.
So much from idolmaster
That's the full roster of original 765pro, excluding Kotori.
Tsuu Terakado is higher than Ranka Lee? :|
proves how shitty macross SINGERS are when placed into idol ranking list.
idols dont sing, now?
they do much more than that instead of being a jack-of-one-stat singer
Azusa is too low on the list and Miki should have been number 1. However where the list really fails in the lack of Lynn Minmei on here . . .
Too old, and she didn't even hook up with Ichijou. If she were in an idol anime sure she would be no.1, but she's not in that genre, making her role as an idol "shallow" when compared to the characters from idol animes.
I love Minmei as the next guy, but you can't beat characters that's made for the idol genre.
Some of the characters just did very minimal act as idols in their respective series;
Sheryl/Ranka (they just sing, that's all)
Kanon (only showed a glimpse of what she's doing. rest of her time is spent on being part of Keima's harem)
Momo (are you serious?)
Ringo (she just appeared as idol in first 2 episodes and the OP)
Arisa (appeared in a single movie, only sings and did a duet)
To think that they managed to rank higher than im@s and aikatsu characters is just plain retarded.
QFT
Most of the people here crying for Minmei is just clouded by Nostalgia.
An idols list without Minmay in the top 5 (at least) is bullshit.
athena asamiya... i dont care if she doesnt count because she's mainly a game character, no other idol can touch "faiya faiya psycho souljaaaa"
Lovelive Season 2 Vol 1 is the best selling Blu Ray on Amazon Japan, that explains all the placements, its popular among Otaku ;)
honoka is too high
This list is shit.
of course Haruka win!
Among Idolmaster fans, she's the big-3 along side of Miki and Chihaya.
In NicoNico(JPN youtube), she's consider the Otaku Big-3, alongside of Hatsune Miku and Hakurei Reimu.
In NHK 2012, 50th anniversary featured poll "my favourite female character"... She gained 44% of the total votes, completely destroyed the likes of Ayanami Rei, Misaka Mikoto, Akemi Homura, Suzumiya Haruhi.
Her popularity is insane to say the least.
Nagi from Kannagi? Already forgotten D:
Top IDOL MIKI MIKI FTW~! She should be 1st! :O ...but I just knew some how Haruka would still 1st ~_~; personally don't really get her appeal~ And Why is Kanon-Chan #25!?!? o_O She should be WAY higher!
2. Miki Hoshii (iDOLM@STER)
3. Kotori Minami (Love Live!)
4. Maki Nishikino (Love Live!)
I APPROVE OF THIS!
I was expecting Chihaya to be the highest ranked iM@S idol. Her song "Yakusoku" was tear-jerking and yet it was one of the best songs iM@S has.
So no wake up, girls. I guess that is what happens when you have subpar animation, non cutesy personalities and stories.
What the... No Lynn Minmei?????
top 10 is just absurd
I'll be 100% honest: I only came for the picture.
lol^ I love how the Post picture is of 'Top Idol Miki Miki' yet, she is actually #2 in the list XD lol, no one knows how the Hell Haruka won...
This is such a useless ranking...
You could say that to most of the polls all over the Internet and the outside world.
But then, it's not an individual ranking.
I want to fuck Yayoi.
producer will fuck your momma
Where's Lynn Minmay?
Lost on the SDF-2 Megaroad-01 colony ship that was heading towards the center of the Milky Way yo~ :(
I was about to say that! She was the original.
Being first doesn't mean anything.
Imas and Lovelive domination is because they're the frontrunners of the idol anime genre. Minmay is just an idol in a war story, she didn't make the genre popular.
Following that logic Sheryl and Ranka have both nothing to do with this list. Anon was right, Minmay was the original, she spawned clones among many anime science fiction shows from the 80s and even to this days (Sheryl and Ranka wouldn't even exist without her), she was the first idol to be one of the main characters of a series, and she even stopped a fucking war.
gone migrate to US.
where she's given guns
where characters like her are remembered and appreciated!
