***IMPORTANT NOTES--PLEASE READ ALL OF THEM BEFORE RESPONDING TO THIS MAIL***

*Assume that all questions above are referring to Japanese anime
characters/shows only.

*No runners-up.  This will require tough choices, but the more accurate you
can be, the more accurate the data is.

*PLEASE INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE ANIME THAT THE CHARACTER COMES FROM (in
paranthesis next to the answer), AND THE FULL NAME OF THE CHARACTER (if
possible)!!!  Some of these people I've never heard of before!

*For questions A & B, please number your preferencs in order, with #1 being
your top choice, etc.  Also, please include all 5 choices for both
questions (10 NAMES), even if it takes you a while to think them up.  That
way the poll will be more quantifiably representative of the issues, and
therefore, more accurate.  **Now please also note -- these attractive
people don't have to be the star of the shows.  They're just the best
looking ones.  You can pick these 10 people from ANY anime.

*Question C -  I'm seperating them into boys and girls, so you don't have
to give me both.  One answer is sufficient.  Again, this can be ANYONE from
anime.

*Questions D & E - Please note that this is the top
villian/villianess....not any of their underlings.  In the X movie, the
main villian is Fuuma, and the main villianess is Kanoe.  In Sailor Moon,
the main villianess is Beryl, and there is no main villian (since they are
all underlings).

*Questions F & G - The hero & heroine of the story are normally the main
characters (or the two who have the most lines and the story revolves
around) -- not the side characters.  For example, in Magic Knights
Rayearth, the heroine is really Hikaru Shidou, and there is no main hero;
in Record of Lodoss War, Parn is the hero and Dedlit is the heroine.
Everyone else is a side character. Heroes/Heroines normally fight on the
side of goodness and rightness, and are indoubtable challenged every step
of the way.

*Question H & I - An example of side characters would be Duo Maxwell from
Gundam Wing, Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma 1/2, any of the Sailor Senshi (Scouts)
from Sailor Moon, Arshes Nei from Bastard!, Nataku from X, Hotohori and Yui
from Fushigi Yuugi, Rowen of the Strata from Samurai Troopers/Ronin
Warriors, etc.  In other words, the story doesn't revolve around them, but
they are pivotal in the action.

*PLEASE STATE YOUR FULL NAME, E-MAIL ADDRESSES, ANY NICKNAMES YOU HAVE IN
CYBERSPACE, GENDER, AND AGE SO I CAN ACCOUNT FOR YOUR ANSWERS ACCORDINGLY.
This info. will NOT be passed out or around, nor used to annoy you with
solicitation
mailings.  I only need it to accuratly total the poll (to make sure no one
answers 2 times - although I KNOW no one would ever want to possibly trick
me like that...).

*In an effort to be politically correct, please note the following:  The
usage of MALE and FEMALE, which leaves it open to the reader to not only
refer to human characters, but also to include non-human/non-humanoid life
forms, animals, etc.  Preferences are important to individuality.

*The usage of the word "COOLEST" can be defined as "neat-o", "groovy",
"hip", "happening", "fresh", "dope", or whatever new term the 90's
generation has decided to use when referring to someone who is regarded
with admiration, despite of/because of their behavior (us oldies just say
"cool").

*Remember to answer all the questions fully and completely.  Do not leave
out parts of a question simply because your brain decides to go on
vacation without you.


This info. will be used to decide programming at Generation Anime
Convention, 1997.  Thanks for participating!
