Tainted Cube Voting: Closes 29th June

This should be a very interesting vote. Ranma 1/2 is currently trailing behind with only two posts on it so far while everything else has three or four. But don't let that alone be enough to persuade you to cast votes for it! Choose what you would like to see follow from Code Geass.


I would also like to ask now if there is specific additional information you think I should be putting in this post to help you guys make your choice.

In the meantime, you can see the poll is already loaded but your options are as follows
Haruhi
Love Hina
Evangelion
Ranma 1/2
Sailor Moon

These series will be added back into the poll in the following order.
Urusei Yatsura
Rosario 
Code Geass

And the following series have followed on from Code Geass in previous votes.
Haruhi
Ranma 1/2

  1. Hmmm... this is a tricky one.

    It depends on how far the Code Geass one will go. I'm assuming it'll go as far as to Suzaku rejecting Zero's offer. If it does, the obvious wish would be that his best friend wasn't fighting on the opposite side. (Which most likely twists the wish to make them devoted lovers)

    Problem is, that kind of wish only works with Ranma, where he has two people he considers best friends gunning for him. Then again, Ranma has only two episodes.

    Anybody else have ideas?

    1. That interpretation of whom Ranma considers a “best friend” is a little fanony. However, twisting a wish related to Suzaku to alter Ranma’s relationship with Ryoga (who wouldn’t be a huge shift at all to have show up at this point) or Ukyo (who would be) is a workable idea. Though making them “devoted lovers” is not really the only possible way that could go. Well, creating *that* type of relationship between Ryoga and girl-type Ranma would be a pretty massive alteration. (Probably too big for some people.)

      All that said, I’m not sure I want to see Ranma follow Lelouch again anyway. After all, that’s how Ranma ended up with rather situationally specific precognitive abilities last time. I feel like it would probably be more interesting to see Ranma follow someone other than Lelouch or Usagi. So perhaps it would be worth it to push Ranma off for one more episode?

      Or not. Maybe it actually would be better to get Ranma back in play regardless of whom he’s following.

    2. Maybe not lovers then. Friends with benefits, perhaps? Or is that still too much?

      But like I said, I know it means Ranma follows Code Geass again. But I can't think of any other interesting wishes for now.

    3. Well, I did say it would probably be too big a change for *some* people. I personally have no problem with Ranma getting involved with a guy, particularly as long as it doesn’t preclude being involved with girls too.

      As for other possible changes that could result from Lelouch’s desires (for whomever follows him), well, it could also be something that simply results from his interactions with Black and White during the episode. Or, really, Lumitiel has proven quite capable of tweaking the desire to fit whatever comes next. So it’s all good regardless.

    4. Well, it's just that his other wishes are:

      What happened to his mother
      To defeat Britannia and/or his father
      That his little sister will never know his sins

      There could be situational wishes, but that'll be determined once the episode is written.

    5. Well, right. That was the point I was trying to make in that last comment. Many of the wishes so far have been situational rather than big, overarching desires. Lelouch’s could be as well.
