That's the most downplayed explanation on Touhou Project and it's popularity that I've ever seen.

I'm slightly disappointed that Duo Maxwell and his Deathscythe weren't mentioned. Yeah, okay, he wasn't a supernatural judge of the afterlife, but he didn't go by the "God of Death" for nothing. At least give him an honorable mention.

I was thinking the same thing. Technically not a "god" in a literal sense, but as a Gundam pilot he was pretty much the closest thing to a god in the Gundam universe. And there's the fact that his Gundam itself is a mechanized representation of the Grim Reaper, arguably the most well known "god of death".

As for the poll, even though there were a lot of good choices, there could be only one for me... Kamina!

First off, kudos to whoever posted spoiler["The Going Merry"](from One Piece), I agree and voted with you. She did her BEST and wanted to do more... Crying or Very sad

But it would be nice if people posting on the thread would spoiler tag whatever they mention about the characters in the poll. Nobody is doing this, and I'm pretty certain that spoiler[Lelouch's and Spike's] deaths are huge spoilers

OK, I'll give you spoiler[Lelouch], but the other one... seriously?!? Dude, if you haven't seen Bebop all the way through by this point after it's been on TV pretty much non-stop for TEN YEARS and had like 5 different DVD releases, then I got nothing for you. IMO it falls into this category:

I'm surprised to see Momo make the list considering that the DVD series is finally available in the states.

So you're saying that we aren't accepting new anime fans into the fandom. This is a time where one might toss out adjectives like "entropic" and "myopic", but then realizes that such highfalutin words might sugarcoat the abject stupidity of your position. I don't believe in pulling punches when the fight is this dire.

Or maybe you could've considered that there are people living outside of the US. You know, that place called the rest of the world, where Bebop has never aired on TV or gotten DVD releases

How many people (even 20 years ago) quote(d) "No, I am your father" from Star Wars despite it being the big "spoiler of Empire Strikes back. Or how many people talk about "Lord of the Rings" plot points now? Like I said, I can understand annoyance with "Code Geass" or "Gurren Lagann" or especially things like current simulcasts like "One Piece" or Madoka Magica. But, C'mon, if you're an anime FAN and you haven't seen "Cowboy Bebop" or "Evangelion" or a few other universal titles and you're gonna scream "spoilers" on a site like ANN over this poll, then WTH? If you're THAT averse to spoilers, you never should have looked at the poll or even the article itself ANYWAY. (or were you not put off by the "spoilers" about Ichigo getting "hollow" and "fullbring" powers and other points noted in there)

So does that God Hand count as death gods? They're pretty damn powerful. Hell I'm surprised that Guts managed to wound the female one and that was hell from what I heard.
