I wasn't expecting Monika to light the world on fire or anything, but I am a little surprised she didn't even make the bracket. Oh well.

Yeah, there's a couple big ones I was surprised to see miss it, and she's definitely one of them. Daenerys Targaryen, Aloy, Rey, Steven Universe, Eleven, everyone from Overwatch

---

wow Velvet and Estelle didn't make it
---

Yeah, some of these snubs are brutal. Nice to see Ben Wyatt sneak in though.

---

oops

---

Is it alright if I wait until the final recount to make my cuts? Some of the vote counts seemed off.

@Mythiot After recounting, Chiron Harris did not actually make the cut, as he was only at 2 nominations, not 3

Everything else should be accurate, so you only need to cut one nomination.

---

Marston was already in, as you mentioned, so he should not be among the Mythiot choices

Oh shit, yeah, you're right

So Mythiot it looks like you don't actually have to cut anyone.

ok BY ALL MEANS this should be the final playing field. As always, if I somehow miscounted something, feel free to let me know, but I BELIEVE this is correct. Thank you to everyone both for nominating and for your patience.

wow Velvet and Estelle didn't make it

I think people might have forgot Estelle was even eligible; I know I did until I was composing my second set of nominations. Also, the subset of those who participate in nominations for contests like these has somewhat different tastes from B8 as a whole, to Estelle's disadvantage.

Also, I'm disappointed that mnk, who I already know is a DQ11 fan, nominated several other random JRPG characters who had no shot at making the field instead, thus depriving it of any DQ11 representation.

---

Augh there were still so many chars to nominate!
---

I didn't come in until the end, so all of my nominations were from characters I saw had two noms as of the most recent update.

Frick, I apparently have no reading comprehension tonight, sorry. I thought someone else had given those three their second noms, for some reason.
