Shiina vs Aoyama

Finally decided to create this after six episodes. It's been bugging me for a while now, but I've been wondering how many people actually prefer Shiina to Aoyama. Shiina is cute in her own regard, but somehow her character just fails to stand up compared to Aoyama, who is hard-working, straightforward and has to struggle with family issues. Having slightly tsundere tendencies also makes her more attractive in my opinion.

So, what do you guys think?

I think Aoyama's annoying and I hope she moves out of Sakurasou soon.

Mashiro all the way... <3

I like them both, but if I were to choose, I'd say Aoyama :D

Shiina would probably win this poll anyway~

Shiina, and it's not even close. I usually love tsunderes, but Aoyama is a thoroughly irritating, pointless character who will likely become even worse as the story progresses, since she'll inevitably try her hardest to interfere with the main relationship. All of which is the reason she's the worst of the introduced characters by far.

I like both but if I had to choose, I'd choose Aoyama. She's had a bad start but you can tell that she has more within her. Hopefully we'll see her further develop like she did in episode 6.

Pretty much this, Aoyama became more likable after this little arc of hers but its still easily Shiina.

I like both of them but I prefer Aoyama over Shiina.

Why?

First thing is that She deserves to be on Sorata's side more than Shiina imo. She works so hard just to compensate her expenditures throughout the school year and puts so much hard work on what she's doing (Shiina also does hers but i can't see so much efforts compared to Aoyama) I know that she's a bit annoying but after this latest episode, she's more likable.

Secondly, practically speaking, She's not gonna be a pain in ass like Shiina who doesn't even know how to take care of herself/ lacks common sense (Well, no offense to all Shiina fans/shippers but i think that's the truth if we'll put it practically)

Shiina's gonna win anyway so why even bother on making up this thread?. lol We can already even see the numbers of people who prefer Shiina over Aoyama and can judge who's the winner..... It's gonna be Main x Main anyway so what's the point of this thread?

Like them both.

I like girls with Kansai-ben...and Nananmi had great development last ep, so she's become really likable.

BUT...Mashiro wins for me...and I'm sure she'll be developed to be even more lovable later.

They are both endearing in their own ways, but Mashiro is the main driving force behind a lot of what happens so I would vote for her only for this reason.

Though I would probably be ok with a Nanami ending, if it's done really well.

I voted Aoyama, Shiina may be pretty and have a nice voice actor but she is also weird and overly obsessed with drawing manga. Aoyama isn't perfect, she's shown to be really annoying when it comes to her being so stubborn but I'm sure her cute side will be revealed further like it was beginning to be last episode :3

If you did this after episode 5, it probably would've been 80% Shiina, and 20% aoyama. For me, I'd prefer Shiina, but I love 'em both ^_^

This poll isn't fair to Aoyama since she hasn't had much development like Shiina and the others. Shiina and the others have had their characters developed since episode one while Aoyama has only really started to develop in episode 5. As we've seen from episodes 5 and 6, there's more to Aoyama than some tsudere bitch who yells at Sorata a lot.

I have to say I really liked both of the characters, but in the end, I obviously like Shiina more. I have nothing negative to say about Aoyama tho, because she has few flaws, the only thing against her is that Shiina is just herself and I can't deny how alluring it is to meh

You shouldn't state such things as fact, but lets say you are just stating your opinion like anyone else, your comment is still pointless, Misaki doesn't like Sorata, when comparing Shiina to Aoyama that topic mostly comes up, its a romantic comedy after all, most dislike Aoyama for the simple reason that she gets in the way of Shiina who pending some out of nowhere reversal will end up winning Sorata in the end.

Mashiro.
Mashiro change Sorata greatly and positively.
Nanami does not have such influence on Sorata.
But Nanami is needed in Sakurasou for the Normal People VS Genius plot.

Ehm, not that I dont get it, but would u tell me where did the OP state that the poll had anything to do with Sorata? My opinion was half joke half serious actually. Joke cose, though obvious, it isnt stated that we have to choose who we ship as the main pair. The serious half is actually my real opinion on who is the most intresting girl in the show. Seriously, I had a gf similar to Misaki and the worst thing is I was too stupid and could not keep her... Nuff said.

As for the poll - why does NOONE consider that Shiina walking naked and acting all seductive (albeit not on purpose) is also gettin in the way of Aoyama? Is that fair? Cose, you know, when you are a teenage boy such things tend to make you lose what little brains you have :D
Aoyama on the other hand is being stupid for not being true to her feelings. "Love is not a spectator sport".
So I voted Shiina. At least shes acting sincere.

I'm pretty much the same, I love Misaki she is just so full of energy and it's so endearing. I'd have voted for her too if she was on the poll lol.

However with the two choices I have to pick Mashiro even though I am a stickler for Tsunderes normally, she just kind of does it for me =P

Aoyama doesn't stand a chance in hell. The whole setup is for her to be the contrasting "normal girl" to Shiina's "eccentric" personality. The whole design of the series is for Aoyama to be the "odd one out".

I love them both. Shiina is just so freaking cute and lovable. The perfect waifu material in this anime. Aoyama is pretty cool too and I love her story and how ambitious she is.

With this said, I vote for Shiina.

Shina because she's a blonde/beauty/amazingly talented, BUT! and a big 'BUT', she's way too autistic but if it's not permanent then comprise can be done!

However, Aoyoma is a hard worker, very dedicated and adorable, so... close call.

Yeah, pretty much. The combative tsundere (Aoyama) has been done to death, whereas the idiot savant (Shiina) is comparatively fresh. (Of course, Aoyama doesn't start the series as a tsundere, which is mildly interesting in itself.) Furthermore, Shiina's relationship with Sorata at this point is nuanced in a way that Aoyama's is not, and that works to Shiina's favor, in my opinion. Shiina is intriguing; Aoyama is not. Therefore, advantage: Shiina.

I think that part of the problem I have with Aoyama is that she is the only character (other than the teacher) who from the get-go seemed destined to be one-dimensional. Something about the nice girl who is always trying her best and has an unrequited crush on the male lead sets off alarm bells. (Heck, if you call her "plucky" and say that Sorata is thought to be unattainable, she is the spitting image of a painfully generic shoujo heroine.) Turning her into a generic combative tsundere once her romantic turf is stolen does not help her to gain character depth.
(Spoiler is for episodes 5-6.)


Ultimately, I'm hoping Aoyama is blessed with some enhanced characterization and develops a less straightforward/predictable relationship with Sorata. I am irrationally fond of her character and would like to see her win, but only if she earns it. By which I mean: earns the screen time that would be devoted to her in that case. By being more interesting.

i want him to end up with Aoyama more. for some reason, they both 'fit' together in my mind. i like both girls, i just lean more on Aoyama. ironically,if it came down to it though, i would root for Shiina simply because she's the end girl. i hate it when romantic development is spent on an obvious girl who we all know wont win in the end.

Aoyama. She's very responsible and working hard to make her own dreams come true, even if that means going against the will of her relatives. And somehow I don't think she's annoying.

Shiina lacks of personality.

WOW. I never expected the poll to be this way. A bit shocked on what's happening 'cause almost everyone is in favor of Shiina beating Aoyama's count. Almost everyone is like even saying that "she's a nuisance in the show" but hey, it's 56 to 86. 30 more and she'll beat Shiina. WOHOOO! I'm glad that Nanami's catching up to Shiina.

Glad that there's still viewers fawning over Aoyama's beauty and personality.

I go for Aoyoma > Shiina :D
