Idolmaster Cinderella Girls

Momoka where already.

Meh. Assuming we get her next batch, what other Cute would join her?

At this point, Kyoko. She's the most popular unvoiced Cute right now, according to the election.

I read people talking about popularity elections for the Cinderella Girls; but I've only ever been able to find the results for the second election, could anyone give me a link to the results for the 3rd election (and maybe the 1st as well)?

Look on Page 136 of this very thread for the Top 50 of the 3rd election.

Thanks!

My gut instinct for the next cute is actually Shiki. Namco's shown that popularity polls play a part, but not a huge one. And often they'll pick someone that's a little surprising instead of who everyone expects, like how Shizuku's been predicted for every CD lineup since 15-20.

 I wouldn't rule out someone who has a sizable fanbase but ranks pretty low in the polls, like Clarice or Nene either.

Like how Yuko was chosen instead of Nina in the last set, right? =P

Shiki is a possibility. They were pushing her recently. Not exactly sure what she brings to the table, except looking the idol part, but we had so many fruity cases that this is almost a relief. At least she's not talking to the mushrooms.

Isn't Shiki pretty much a "fruit case" though? I thought her whole deal was that shes a mad scientist.

Speaking of who the next Cute idol will be voiced, apparently, there's an election going on to determine which unvoiced idol will get a voice.

From what I heard, there is a catch. Only 1st place will get a voice. Though if anybody can, please post translations of the names in the ballot if possible?

I thought Ai (Togo) was our mad scientist. Shiki looked like more of Miki re-dux. But yes, this Shiki was that:

7th row: Momoka Sakurai (I'm dead serious)

.. This worries me on so many levels....

First off, Momoka is probably THE most demanded girl to get a voice due to being confirmed for the anime, so other popular unvoiced idols are gonna get the shaft big time because of this.

Also, doesn't this imply that Namco haven't found a voice for Momoka? Like I said earlier, she's confirmed for the anime! Not only confirmed, but heavily promoted alongside everybody else. You mean to tell me that Namco hasn't found her a VA despite this and are using an election to determine whether or not they should give a f**k about even voicing her in the first place?

Wow, this election went from great news to absolutely sour for me VERY quickly. :/

Afureko is one of the last production stages, but it's end of November now and only 7 weeks before broadcast. I also think that it's inconceivable not to have seiyuu already assigned, unless some sort of emergency happened, such as a contract dispute with a talent agency.

{Update: it's possible that Momoka does not appear for a few episodes, in which case there's an additional buffer.}

Great news for unverifieds like me: they allowed unverified accounts to claim the bonuses. I'm completely overwhelmed by all the S-rares that were in the pile. So much so, in fact, that I exchanged 20 rares for "rare metal" in order to expand the line-up by 5 slots to 75.

Another Ranko figure. Holy crap, this one looks good.
