Current Events > Save That Anime and Manga Character 2 Nominations!

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's time for the long awaited sequel! I'm looking for 100 characters. If nominations are popular and we get over the goal, we will do a second round of nominations.

Rules

You may nominate up to 7 characters.

Characters need to be from a manga or anime. Light Novel and Visual Novel Characters will be accepted only if there was anime or manga adaptation.

The Top 20 from the first Save That Anime and Manga Character will be retired for this contest. Should there be a Save That Anime and Manga Character 3, they will be allowed back in and the Top 20 from this contest will be retired. This is to encourage some new characters to get in, and prevent the contest from being the same as last year's.

No Alts

Please do not delete your posts, if you want to change your nominations, make a new post explaining. It's easier on me that way.

20. Jotaro Kujo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders)
19. Mugen (Samurai Champloo)

The only questionable one there I think is this. From what I'm gathering, it looks like an American Comic?

Miyamoto Usagi (Usagi Yojimbo)

Okay, I will replace him with:

Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist)

RIP Captain Falcon. I think that may have been the highest he's ever ranked in a Save That, despite being in more Save That's than any other character that I know of.

@Kajagogo and @Popcorn_Fairy

Has there been a general "Save That Movie Character" contest? I think I remember there being a "Save That Movie" at one point, cant remember if there was a general one for characters or not.
---

^ Pretty sure there was, but it didn't have enough interest to make it very far.

That's unfortunate.

I guess the VG and Anime character ones have a bit more of an edge given the target audience here.

Not that I've seen. Closest I got was Movie villains.

Kaja did Movie Villains, and I think Kaja is planning Movie Heroes too.

Piccolo (Dragon Ball)
Nico Robin (One Piece)

Come to think of it, what ever happened to that Disney Villains save that.
---

Yea, I'd like to do Movie Heroes someday. I even tried to start it once, but it didn't get many noms. Hopefully it will get more interest in the future. I think I'd like to do Kaja's Save That All-Stars next.

There was, but it died around the top 15 without declaring a winner.

I looked through the archives and didn't see one. But yeah, I'm not sure that one would have enough steam to finish either.

Ooh, that'd be interesting. Like, the top contenders from all of your different Save That's? Would that be characters only, or would it be Save That's that included like movies/games/whatever-non characters you did too?

I don't know about Disney villains, but I started one for Disney characters, but that was both during a very busy period of time for me, as well as being incredibly slow-moving/ didn't seem to have as much interest as I wanted, so I got kinda unmotivated it and never finished it. I might try to give that another go at some point, idk. It's definitely still one of the potential next picks after Save That Sitcom finishes.

I feel like it could go either way. It's still been kinda hard for me to pinpoint what things get the most interest. Save That Video Game 1 is still the most popular one I've done I'd say, but 2 didn't seem to have as much overall participation. Save That Disney Character had eh participation, but Save That Sitcom had a huge first couple rounds, it's just been a little slower due to me not being able to update as much.

Save That Marvel character also had a big turnout, while Marvel vs. DC had less, but that could also be in part due to it being so soon after the initial Marvel and DC ones had finished.

I feel like the overall biggest among everyone would probably be, what, Save That Video Game Character, Same That Anime Character, and Save That Fighting Game Character?

Save That Band was pretty big too.
---

I don't know, Save That Anime and Manga had a ton of participation. Save that Pro Wrestler was also really busy. I think Save that Band/Musician was my biggest though.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Pro Wrestler, I think that was around the time I went AWOL for a few months.

Well the only ones I've done so far, are 2 fighting game characters, movie villains, cartoon characters, and RPG characters, so it would be the top 20 from the five of those (top 20-ish for fighters 2 to avoid repeats)

I know his real name is a spoiler, but just call him Yami Yugi. That's what most fans call him besides his real name.

Or at least spell the word "pharaoh" correctly, for the love of Ra.
