EO’s Retroblogging Interest Check – Results Are In!
August 18th, 2009
With vote counting going well into Monday afternoon, ExecutiveOtaku is ready is call the Old Anime Election for Macross (Mecha Party, South Ataria) by a narrow margin. With nearly 200 total votes Macross was neck and neck with Maison Ikkoku (Romance-Comedy Alliance Party, 80’s Tokyo) throughout the voting period, eventually winning by 40% to 38%. Meanwhile Space Battleship Yamato (Old Friend, Earth’s Underground) made a significant showing of 22% ensuring a significant amount of influence in any future coalition. Additionally the Dragon Ball Party had attempted to put a candidate on the ballot, but the deadline for submitting the proper paperwork passed while the potential candidates spent 10 episodes yelling and powering up repeatedly.
So there you have it. Starting in the next few days I will start retroblogging SDF Macross. Each post will cover two episodes as this will allow me to finish the series in a reasonable amount of time. Since the votes were all pretty close and many people commented expressing interest in all three series, once I finish Macross I will go on to the other two in order of votes. Thank you for voting and commenting!
