Well, Newtype Japan had a lovely poll to see what characters the fans loved most over the decade. The results should, frankly, shock no one.
The scans of the results come from 4Chan, but they're of pretty horrible quality, so it's incredibly hard to make out the results. I also have no clue how far these results actually go.

I, for one, am shocked that Kira and Lacus aren't the king and queen of anime right now.
I'm even more shocked that Cagali wound up making #1.

Code: Kirin!

I'm surprised that Shinn made the list and that he's higher than Setsuna. Not to mention that Haruhi is outranked by Nagato.

Hei making the list is a pleasant surprise. Everything else is about what I expected.

Lelouch has been at the top of the polls for like 3-4 years now. Kira hasn't dominated anything since god knows when. >.>

And Yuki is love. Haruhi just eventually gets annoying.

Cagalli being top is surprising. But still doesn't make me happy.

...people still like Sakura Shinguji?

Newtype poll rankings have always been pretty shitty, so I'm not going to bother getting all mad at Japan for having shit tastes. That said, pretty interesting to see Cagalli dethrone the presumed Queen. :o

No, they've been crazy for longer than that. I think our nukes had long-term effects on the entire nation, or something.

And despite being such old lists, I'm still not happy about most of the rankings.

'Cept Sakura Kinomoto. That made me happy.

So do I. She's the only one I really liked in the cast, as a matter of fact.
