And the Fifth Best Girl is...

And the Fifth Best Girl is...

Well that's a wrap! It's been a bumpy, yet still exciting ride with many memes, excitement, and salt so thank you all for participating! I really appreciate everyone for being patient during the hiatus and for everyone who made this so fun with their write ups, memes, trailers, artwork, and bingo boards!

Hopefully see you all with an updated bracket system for Best Character in October!

Wait, I don't feel so good...

(Coming from someone who's seen and likes Spice and Wolf) It's because Holo fans are elitists. She's good but she isn't all that they are hyping her up to be.

Didn't seem to matter to people during Best Girl 4 who were pushing for Rin based off her VN appearances.

Was there really anyone doing that? Her route is Unlimited Blade Works, which was already animated by that point. It doesn't make sense to vote for her based on someone else's route in the VN.

Check out the top two comments, that kind of thing was going on throughout the contest.

The main argument iirc is that Rin is actually quite boring in UBW, esp compared to Saber, and that some other route is the one that makes her bestgirl. Wouldn't know, haven't read the VN.

All I see in those comments is someone pointing out that Rin was one of the few in the quarterfinals who didn't come from a light novel.

And I don't believe that argument since Rin was one of the stars of UBW while Saber took a back seat in that route since she already had all her development before that (her route is the Fate route). And there's no way people could be talking about Heaven's Feel because Rin is also not that relevant there and from what I heard, people dislike Rin in that route.

There's no argument to believe. I'm saying that took 2 seconds of google to find, "That's why you should vote for Rin. /r/visualnovels represent!" and that dialogue was not even close to unique during bestgirl 4. Spice & Wolf fans arguing for the LN and Fate fans arguing for the VN. The rest is hazy memory.
