>Also, what's with the love for Ivan? No seriously, why? Not that I hate him or anything, but we barely ever see him...

Actually when someone recently asked 'Who's your least favorite character?' Ivan was overwhelmingly chosen. I'm not a huge Ivan fan but I still like him a lot so it made me both sad and amused.

Oh, really? From the meme it seems like there's a lot of people requesting for Ivan/Yuri (also, why? ;)), and he has a lot of sponsors, so I thought the reason was that he's popular.

I don't dislike any character in that anime tbh, it just seemed baffling to me because the other characters are all more developed than him IMO.

I think the Ivan/Yuri stuff was born from a crack fic between the two. But yeah, tbh Ivan is a prettyboy (and a bit of woobie) so he's gonna get a lot of fans from that alone.

But I know how you feel. I'm in desperate need for more Nee-san fic.

"tbh Ivan is a prettyboy (and a bit of woobie)"
Makes sense. But seriously, with a perfect character like Kotetsu, how am I supposed to have eyes for anything else? (I don't like droopy eyebrows though, so maybe that's why I don't buy Ivan't prettiness. But hey, to each its own, of course!))

And I think his design is a lot better than anyone else's. Ok maybe Bunny is prettier, but um. No, actually I think Kotetsu is prettier. *one track mind*

Hi, T&Bro, fancy seeing you here.

It's weird because I know how overwhelming popular it is on Pixiv but I don't really see it being touted about elsewhere. Guess it's just one of those sleeper hits?

Hey there!

On Pixiv it's practically everywhere, but it looks like its popularity is off the charts also when it comes to merchandise sells and stuff like that. Probably lj isn't the place for anime fandoms...? I have no idea as this is a first for me.

Oh, and not knowing Japanese I'm cut off a lot of great stuff, damn.

God, I loved those merchandising threads. Can't afford one of those yet (would love the whole set but especially Sky High) but the freaking out and the ragedespair was glorious.

I love the show and do hope it becomes a cult hit, even if it seems to be unlikely.

I was one of those who said Ivan. It kind of made me feel bad when I saw so many picking him haha.

Huh. I wonder why?

He's not my favorite or anything, but I'm surprised anyone would single him out as the absolute worst. I always thought he was just kinda... there.

If this was about that spontaneous poll in /a/...

The question was who was their least favourite hero, and for a lot of them it was Ivan because they liked the other heroes more, not because they hated him.
