hmm...this is hard. I think niipah sounds less annoying than uu. But since I know what uu means it's kind of hard not to vote for it.

that's what I think, too.

uu's true meaning...because of that it got my vote, even if I like the "phrase" nipaah more...

If you like Nipah more, why not vote for that instead? Uu's meaning is silly, even rosa got annoyed with it

Stop trying to steal our voters you despicable Nipah lovers. We know your true intentions. You won't fool us with your overly moe dosage. With the power of Uu protecting us, we see you for who you truly are.

I value Uuu better.

As said before, nipah has no reason to exist.
Is just plain silly.

Repetitiveness is relative, therefore it shouldn't be used as a criteria for choosing which is the less annoying one.

i find amusing. how such silly discussion has so serious attention

You'll never learn our true intentions until it's too late for you Uuu~ lovers.

Nipaah doesn't mean anything.

Uu- actually has something to do with characterization.

The choice is thus obvious.
Actually "nipah~" does mean something, at least in the context of the fact that the people of Hinamizawa speak with a broken dialect. "niko~" (ニコ) is a common japanese sound effect for "smile" but other "nonsense" words that start with "ni" (ニ) can be substituted, such as "niya~" (ニヤ) or simply "ni~." In Hinamizawa their substitution is "nipa~" (ニパ). If that's not enough to convince you then go back and re-watch the series; you should notice that Rika always makes a big smile when she says it, even forcing an extra big smile with her fingers on at least one occasion during the first season.

To be honest Hanyuu's sound effect is the closest parallel to Maria's "uu~" considering that they're used at a similar frequency, in similar situations and are done by the same voice actress. I suppose though in terms of relevance Rena's repetition of "kana" would also be a better parallel than "nipah~" and if you just wanted to parallel Rika and Maria then "mii~" would have been a better choice. Over all this topic has failed.

1. Nipah
2. Hauu
3. Uuu

Why? Easy to say: "Uuu" is not something to nipah about =)

So what If 'Uu' has a story behind It. That doesn't stop it from being annoying to no end

I don't think I would mind It If she weren't to use It so excessively, sure Rika has said 'Nipah' many times during the two seasons she was in but Maria using 'Uu' has been looked at as a form of a spoiled child crying for something she wants. The first episode has affected the view of Maria majorly.

Yes, I haven't played the visual novel. So don't come attacking me with that crap. I don't think It would change my thoughts about It or her anyhow

the Maria haters are going to hate her no matter what happens. I still don't see how she is so much more annoying than the other lolis who make annoying noises. I'm not a big fan of Maria but she gets way too much hate

Excellent poll.

"Nipaah" makes my head hurt.
"Uu" makes me want to ram a screwdriver into both of my eardrums and kill somebody.

Seriously, the scene where Maria was crying "UUuUuuuUuAuahaUAUauUAUuahUAhUuuuuuu" was most definetly the worst thing I have and will ever encounter in my entire life.

So by being lesser of two devils "Nipaah" would be victorious, but since it's extremely annoying as well, I keep my vote.

Not even a contest.

Nipah is cute. Uuu is not

Maria doesn't come close to Rika in terms of cuteness.


Maria annoys the hell out of me. I actually breathe a sigh of relief when her mother has to abuse her to shut her up. >_>

I know the story about Maria's "Uu-", I know it's sad and I don't care. It's still annoying... I'll go with "Nipah" because it's much more cute and Rika pwns!
