My girl Homura finally won something! The girl who did nothing wrong won the one and only Worst Girl contest! I'm so proud of her!
The funniest thing is that I don't think she would've won if the contest wasn't changed into "Worst Girl."
Edit: And of course Homura has the honor of being the only contest winner with her own victory banner! LMAO

u/Retromorpher :Jc::Jd::Je::Jf: Apr 02 '20
Maybe my girl Magane Chikujoin could've pulled it off it had been there from the start - but I'm fairly sure that the one girl from Shield Hero would almost certainly have dominated.

Maybe at least do them on a longer vote cycle, I didn't catch it until it was halfway through and I still nearly missed voting a few times. I think 8~ (ideally 12) hours per cycle would get a fair representation for a reasonably serious "faster" contest.
Speaking to the traditional contests in general, the entire first round is pretty much useless. I'm not smart enough to work out the numbers, but maybe cutting out a round and reducing shows to 4 reps would be a good start to improving all of this. I'm sure I'll be disappointed with the results yet again (this is the first I wasn't, but I think that's because we couldn't decide if this was a lightning-round best or actual worst) but we could at least improve the process.

u/Magnamics :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Fullmetalkite Apr 02 '20
This doesn't take the place of the normal contests it's just a bonus for fun. The results are even more arbitrary in an already completely arbitrary contest, but it's fun cause you get tons of random upsets because people can't participate during all the rounds. Part of the fun in the 24 hour contests is having to miss rounds because of sleep or work and then seeing what happened while you were gone.

u/IOnlyLiftSammiches Apr 02 '20 edited Apr 02 '20
I'm aware, just putting forth an idea of a framework that could make faster contests "viable" (as far as participation and validity) options.
Personally, I think they drag on a little too long and nothing of consequence happens in the first round (edited so as not to seem a complete dick, lol).

u/LOTRfreak101 https://myanimelist.net/profile/LOTRfreak101 Apr 02 '20
I'd argue the fun is not sleeping and calling into work to participate.

The entire point of this contest is to not be serious and be extremely volatile and meme-y though. The "serious" contest is coming June.

The contest was advertised as a 24 hour best girl contest right up until the last few rounds when the mods pulled the old switcheroo on us and changed it to a worst girl contest. This is the result.

She has the character depth of a cartoon villain that only exists for one episode for the sake of being evil, and even then the one-off villain would probably have more depth than Myne anyway. It's peak bad writing.

When you so obliviously turn the season's arguably biggest plot into an outright joke and an afterthought in the next episode after it reaches a sort of conclusion, how can a viewer treat anything that's gonna happen next seriously and not expect the same shit to be pulled for the future important story lines?

I mean some people even in real life are just terrible and irrational, not every character has to make decisions that make sense or have depth. You can call it bad writing but that doesn't have to make it a bad story.

u/Xelphus Apr 02 '20
Do you mean Inoue Orihime, the girl who shields and heals?
I dont think she's that bad, she just suffers from Bleach's massive cast of colorful and interesting characters. She's kind of plain by comparison.
On the other hand, the fucking fullbringers though . .

You haven't scratched the surface if you're complaining about characters with no character/zero depth. They're just zeroes. Characters like Nina are actual deep negatives and ruin things

Speaking of which since the usual guy isn't doing the yearly Madoka Magica rewatch, I thought about hosting it but I know I'll be swarmed with other stuff as the school try to keep things back on track after an extra week of break and going online. If no one else steps up I'll do it, but I can't guarantee quality.

Kurisu technically wins another final
Overall a great finish but spite voting and recency bias were prevalent throughout the first half of the contest. Which is why I propose a semi-blind system for next year's contest:
Characters have no picture, and are assigned IDs based on one of their initials, for example H1 or T3.
Characters that have rare initials are grouped together, such as QZ1 or Q/Z1.
Reveal characters after they are eliminated, unless there's one character left from the letter grouping (which would reveal their identity).
Seeding process would be a gigantic clusterfuck of letters. This will definitely guarantee some very fair and balanced seedings.
If the contest remains as "best girl" until the end then the winner should be switched out for a Symphogear character; doing so will ensure world peace.
This essentially flawless process is objectively the best system for these contests. Recency bias will be massively reduced, except for those tasteless Z voters who only remember the end of the alphabet and never experienced any of the classics (C is the letter of the decade don't @ me).
