The Ultimate Gundam Poll Posts Its Intermediate Results

Japanese television station NHK is holding an all-encompassing poll for Sunrise's Gundam franchise until April 20. The poll is covering Best Character, Best Mobile Suit, Best Theme Song, and Best Overall Series. It even offers a helpful category function, so if voters can't recall name of their favorite mobile suit, but know what series it's from, they can locate it that way.

The official site posted the intermediary results so far, so you can see how your favorites are stacking up before the final results are announced on May 5.
