Hayate Immelman must of made it on Bishounen points alone because, as much as I like the Macross franchise overall, Delta was a poor showing.
I can understand and accept pretty much every other char showing up on this list set, but Delta chars were pretty flat. (Guess I shouldn’t be surprise since this is a popularity list for fictional 2D characters. Char design trumps characterization fairly often.) I didn’t feel much, if any, attachment to the chars in Delta. Frontier had me rooting for someone by the end of it. I spent more time facepalming in Delta due to the Hollywood-style plot devices.
Hanekawa over senjo anyday
Saw Yui and prayed for new season of K-On…
