And the winners are: (caution, potential spoilers!)
LorraineWalker - I would rather be Yukino because she
seems to be an adaptable person. When Arima blew her cover, she was able
to continue functioning at her previous level (well almost). I see her
future as being very bright. I also think she will eventually be able to
blend her 2 personas successfully.
KoriHandwerker - Who would I LIKE to be? Maybe Yukino,
but I already am for the most part. I wallow in praise with my 4.4 GPA and
A+ average, sitting contently at the top of my class. I guess being any
more like Yukino would be depressing, and I'd take the rest of it only if
I could fall in love with an "Arima" that
shunned me from my position. That's why I love KareKano, I see so much of
myself in her!
ChrisArce - think I'd like to be Arima (cuz I'm a
guy and it would be weird if I picked Yukino). anyways, yeah, he's cool.
TreshaPepito - Why I'd like to be Yukino: Besides being
smart and popular, she has her own followers. Who wouldn't want that? ^_^
But mostly because she has Arima.
JeffBarron - Souichirou Arima is the greatest ladies'
man in anime history. He is the only guy at school that receives the
chance to date the most popular girl, Yukino Miyazawa. If I could be any
anime character, it would be Arima. Although I am a ladies' man myself, I
am not nearly as good as Arima. If I could be Arima, I would dominate all
competition at my school. Therefore, that is my reasoning for wanting to
be Arima.
KristenPulczinski - I'd like to be Yukino because then
I could wear a super-short skirt and never have anything show. Being
Arima's girlfriend is a plus too.
AlbertS. Fisher - I'd like to be Arima because he is
good at sports and intelligent, a great mix.
YussefGarcia - I like Arima the most, because his life
seems too
close to mine..
LauraSchumacher - I'd rather be Yukino because she's
crazy.
KevinLaMontagne - I'd rather be Arima, because he seems
to be a lot more laid back and less hyper than Yukino, and yet still gets
good grades, I need good grades.
EarlGertwagen - I'd have to be Arima, hands down. What
straight man wouldn't want to go to a high school where the females wear
such short skirts and sexy black leggings?! :D
JamesMcFarland - Yukino. Why pick a female character
when I am a male? Well, it's simple. Yukino's name begins with the letter
"Y." Now, "Y" is the 26th letter of the English Alphabet. and 6+2 is 8.
And 8 is equivalent to 7+1. And of course, as everyone knows, 7 is the
number of perfection in Hebrew numerology, and 1 is the number of the
individual. Thus taken together "7 and 1" equals "perfect individual."
Therefore, Yukino is a "perfect individual." And though I like Arima, I'd
prefer to be a perfect individual any day of the week!
EricSchmidt - If I had a choice, I would be Arima,
because if I was Yukino, that would mean that I would be getting some of
Arima's brand of sweet loving. Now, being a guy, that is something that I
am not too thrilled about.
MonicaLeon - I would like to be like Arima because when
I was in school I was too much like Yukino. It's very tiring trying to
keep up pretenses just so that you could be considered part the "smart
club." I like the way Arima can be a bit more relaxed about things. Not to
mention that academics came so easily to him. He hardly has to study.
MichaelDunagan - My name is Michael Dunagan, and I
would have to say Arima, ofcourse since I'm a guy I wouldn't choose to be
a girl, but I like his character because he reminds me a lot of
me...except for the perfect grades and best athlete of course, but I
always try to keep my personality so perfect and I'm always polite, and I
lock my feelings away only for me to know about, and as in the movie I
have found the only person that I begin to share myself with is my girl
who is a friend (who just like Yukino hasn't decided on telling me whether
she loves me or not, she says she just doesn't know cause she has a
defense mechanism thingy, or something like that preventing her from
feeling. I think she needs some self-confidence. She hasn't seen Kare Kano
yet, but I plan to fly to meet her for the first time soon, and I'm gonna
make her watch it when I go up there...anyways back to me wanting to be
Arima) because she is so similar to me, and I do have a natural ability to
be pretty good at everything I do, not perfect but, I'm great at just
about all video games, I'm pretty good(not perfect) at just about all
sports, except football, ofcourse they don't have football in Japan, only
soccer...moving on, I'm also very deviously nice like when Arima
blackmailed her just to have excuse to talk to her more, well I do stuff
like that alot to Karen(my girl who is a friend) just to get her to admit
to something ^_^ it feels so great, lol but she just replies "your sooo
mean..~_~..goober..=P."
In a way though, I too need to make good grades, to make my uncle and aunt
proud, my rich uncle who used to work for some big bank in Dallas, says he
will pay for my junior and senior year of college for whatever college I
go to after I get out of junior college. I hope I can do as good in school
as Arima does. On an off note, my father passed away this summer, a bit
unexpected, but thats part of life. I really hope that things work out
between me and Karen, I really love her a lot, and I'm risking a lot on
going to see her, but I think she's worth it, even if we only stay friends
(heh which reminds me of the seen at the train when she is worried
about admitting her love and thinks they can just stay as friends, I hope
thats all that is wrong with her.) I still love her.
BrianTsu - I would like to be Arima because he is not
SO LONELY like me.
LarryPereira - I would love to be Arima. Getting
to date Yukino alone is worth the price of admission, but being in a show
directed by Hideaki Anno would be pretty interesting in itself.
MichaelRogowski - Oh, I'd like to be Arima, because if
I was I'd be much younger than I am right now and in Japan as a smart,
popular guy in school with a pre-destined girlfriend, and being an anime
character like that would be cool. ^_^
AlyssaPerkins - Hmmm...I think it can be put very
simply: I'd like to be Yukino...because she gets Arima! He is sooo kawaii
and such a sweetie! :-)
LeeDanforth - I would be like Yukino! Praised and loved
at school (In the first volume at least) and at home has a loving family.
Not to mention that she gets to lay around her house in plain, comfy
clothes, something that I doubt Arima gets to do. Who wouldn't want to be
Yukino?
