Japan sure loves those Cool idols. All in all, I have mixed feelings about this.

unrelated but apparently some guy in Japan spent over 2 million buying 9999 tickets to spam Akiha with. He provided screenshots that may or may not be fake, but it's worth noting. imagine if Akiha got only to sixth and ended up unvoiced

Someone's mad lol.

[Maka]

Akiha didn't even end up placing. I almost feel bad for the guy, lol.

Kind of disappointed that Mayu won't be getting a voice... The only new voice here is Ana.

Translated blurbs/thank-yous:

Ranko: "Um... Thanks to everyone, I got first place. Producer... Thank you. Uh... D-Drown in the darkness!"
Anastasia: "Da... Um, even now, I can't believe it. Are you going to praise me, Producer? Ahaha, harasho~* Well, thank you."
Kaede: "Thanks for your hard work. Tonight, Producer, let's have a small toast to celebrate. Fufufu~"
Sachiko: "For someone as cute as myself, a top spot was basically guaranteed. I'll praise you, Producer, too! You worked hard. Fufu."
Rin: "I wonder if I got here because I've worked so hard. Thank you, Producer, I'll try harder and aim higher now."

*harasho is basically good, according to google. I don't actually speak Russian.

[rin fans]

well don't be so sad i think scamco rather aware about the fandom so the 6-10th rank probably going featured on next Cinderella Master
(and if you discounting anzu, nao included on next batch it's mean Triad Primus is complete yay!!)

However the most amazing thing i found in the result is the fact uzuki is exact same spot as she do in last election i almost WTF with this fact.

note:i know in supplementary it stated uzuki always draw good luck in new year fortune drawing for seventeen years in row but i can't believe it's work in real life ... seriously

Thought it would turn out like this. Congrats to Anastasia, though I must say I'm a little disappointed that I saw this coming since the vote started. A more interesting vote would have been for everyone -without- a voice actor yet.

... Though come to think of it, who'd voice her? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who can speak Russian, but I guess the internet can think of a few people.

Jenya from 81Produce (who is Russian)
Uesaka Sumire from Space Craft Entertainment

I guess the next question is who's interested.

... For some reason, the next to last scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory springs to mind. That, and that little jingle from The Price is Right whenever someone messes up.

The seiyuus who voiced the Russian characters in Girls und Panzer?

Never watched that, so I can't comment if they sounded native or not? Did they?

I mean... the native English in Sakura Taisen was pretty horrific.

They didn't sound native, but the mixing of Russian with a Japanese accent sounded interesting.

Here's the detailed vote count for the Top 10:

1. Ranko Kanzaki - 391,769
2. Anastasia - 236,701
3. Kaede Takagaki - 207,251
4. Sachiko Koshimizu - 187,313
5. Rin Shibuya - 182,692

6. Mayu Sakuma - 175,327
7. Chieri Ogata - 159,537
8. Karen Hojo - 159,373
9. Anzu Futaba - 122,086
10. Koume Shirasaka - 121,967

The gap between Karen and Chieri is nearly nonexistent, while Rin has a pretty good gap between herself and Mayu.  I'm satisfied with the results, though I wish Karen got into the top 5.

The preliminary results of the 2nd Cinderella Girls Election.

1. Anastasia
2. Takagaki Kaede
3. Koshimizu Sachiko
4. Shibuya Rin
5. Sakuma Mayu
6. Kanzaki Ranko

Ranko pulled a fast one and jumped from 6th to 1st. Ranko's revenge? O:

Anyway, this is probably just me, but I'm not seeing an immediate synergy among this group. I know I said I'll probably be laughing if this happened, but I'm having mixed feelings of worry and excitement for this. Let's see how this goes.

Well, I'm happy that Koume and Nao got higher in the standings, at least.

A more interesting vote would have been for everyone -without- a voice actor yet.

I pray the next elections be like this.

Sumire Uesaka, as you mentioned by name, is the dark-haired girl in the video above.

And I really do hope they give her the role. I like her singing voice.

[kantou]

1. Ranko Kanzaki  congrats
2. Anastasia    One of my favorite
3. Takagaki Kaede not a big fan but she is cool
4. Sachiko Koshimizu  I hope that next year it will turn
5. Rin Shibuya not a big fan, but she has a strong fanbase


  the passion idols are not really popular....

Yea, it's a shame. There were only 6 passions in the top 25.

She should get it, considering she speaks fluent Russian.

Pretty much all the CGs are built around singular stereotypes though.  Look at Cathy Graham.
