[Zasz]

Anime Showdown!
Where Characters And Whole Shows Battle For Ultimate Glory

Welcome to the Fukkatsu! edition of the Anime Showdown. This is where your beloved animated characters will fight for the ultimate glory... No matter how unique, strong, cute or beautiful... Everyone is the same in front of your eyes!

"Ara Ara", two simple words that have become widespread in the Anime culture. Just by hearing them being uttered by motherly or sisterly characters, one's spirits can be lifted. But who's the character that best embodies these magical words? That's what this Showdown is all about! So, without further ado...

Let's start the second Fukkatsu! Showdown.
The Ara Ara edition!​

Nomination rules:

• You can nominate one character for the Showdown by posting in this thread and explaining why said character should participate in the showdown.
• The nomination period will close on Monday

Voting rules:

• You can only vote for up to three characters, so choose wisely. The amount of voting options depends on the amount of nominated characters.
• The voting consists of two rounds. Both will be ongoing for three days.
• If the amount of nominations reaches a certain number, we will divide them into groups. Each group will have its own voting period.
• Only the three characters with the most votes will make it to the final round until finally one will be crowned as the absolute winner of the showdown. In case of a tie, there will be another round to break the tie. [Also applies to the group stage.]
• If only three characters are nominated after the nomination period has passed, the final round will start right away.
• You’re more than welcome to discuss the characters participating in the showdown

Reminder

• Please add a video and/or a picture to your nomination.
• Please don’t bash the character a member nominates nor bash the person who nominates said ability. This is for fun! <3~
• And please remember, the forum rules also apply to this thread.

Well then, it's that time of the year again!
It's been a long time since we last did it and since this edition is quite special I'm going to go all out!
My nomination is: Akeno Himejima:

Spoiler: The queen

Strong, reliable, kind, slightly perverted, unexpectedly cute and, of course, an Ara Ara factor that you just can't ignore
The pic I chose depicts her during her date with Issei and you can tell with only one glance how adorable she can be when she has not to deal with her duties as Rias' Queen
Also because the other images of hers that I found around the internet were outrageously NSFW
Either way, she's the best and as such I believe that her Ara Ara is the strongest of them all!
You don't think so? Then here you are:

You underestimated my speed Demon...
Which is ironic considering your nick

 

[Valhalla]

Does it have to be ara ara, or can it be also ora ora

Either way, i will sadly have to pass on this. I already have too much on my schedule maybe next time
