Just saw the Love Live School Idol Movie for the first time and yeah it was a fun depiction of NYC as far as the poll and who the best girl in Love Live Sunshine is for me it's no contest as Ruby Kurosawa comes in at number one.
Followed by older sister Dia at number two and number three going to The Fallen Angel Yohane (Tsushima Yoshiko)while number four is Mari Ohara because Dat Voice and Dat Engrish. While number five is Hanamaru Kunikida |

Your list is missing Cipher, the GOAT.
Also, none of the Sunshine cast are any good. They're just the first lot, who've undergone personality reassignment surgery. |

My favorite of Sunshine continues to be You. Number 2 goes to Ruby, especially after today's episode. Hanamaru is 3 followed by Riko at 4. I guess I'll put Chika at 5. This is only preliminary as we haven't gotten to know some of the characters that well yet, so this may change, though not the #1 spot if I'm being honest. I've been a You fan since Aquors was announced. | |||

I clicked just to see if Blood Blockade Battlefront was in the list, and I leave satisfied. By the way, Jacob, Funimation is releasing BBB on BD/DVD in a couple of weeks. | |||

^Considering how Honoka is generally regarded, I'm surprised there are Chika fans. Not that that isn't a respectable choice.
@Lemonchest I'm not even going to dignify such shallow analysis with a response |

Cipher is probably more about New York City than any other manga I've read, and the OAV got some of that. The manga gets into the different cultures and neighborhoods of the city, not just land marks. I loved how the OAV was done in English from the beginning for authenticity.
The Fake OAV tries and gets NYC hysterically wrong. Baccano! is my favorite title on the list. This reminds me, does anyone remember the New York New York manga, about a gay couple living in NYC? It used to be cited all the time as an example of a realistic gay manga about real issues facing gay couples. I just never see anyone mention it anymore. It's older, 1995, so I have no idea if it holds up. |

To be fair, the OVA only does short glimpses of NYC while Ryo and Dee are in some generic English B&B (still baffles me that they chose that random storyline for the OVA and not the duo's first case). I really need to read Cipher... BBB has the most joyously dangerous depiction of NYC I've ever seen in any media precisely because it's blends creepy monsters with the pesudo Gothic and brownstone architecture while making every street corner distinctivly unique from each other. I saw the LE that Funimation will release and while I'm glad they have the Norman Rockwell tribute artwoi wished they weren't on the DVD/BDs but as art cards like the Japanese version. Oh well I already pre ordered!! The love live film version of NYC was funny especially when Umi's group got lost for a brief second! Never heard of of that New York New York manga but sounds right up my alley. My question is how come San Francisco or LA isn't as widely used in anime despite the high amount of Asian Americans? |

You win for mentioning Baccano and BBB. You've pretty much nailed it. | |||

Last spring, when BBB was airing, I went to an academic conference at NYU. It was a really rainy, foggy weekend in the East Village and it looked a lot like Hellsalem's Lot. | |||

That Pokémon GO poll really needed a "my only phone is a landline so, no, I can't play it" option. Yes, even in "current year", some of us still find landlines sufficient for our needs.
---- My favourite anime rendition of New York is still the final arc of Marmalade Boy, especially the part when Miki wanders into Harlem and it resembles war-torn Beirut circa 1983, which I'm sure is 100% accurate to early Giulani-era Harlem. :sarcasm: |

If "My phone's too old to run the app." had eliminated the "too old" part that would have covered it. Yes, there are new phones that will not run the app. Not just wired phones but also cell phones that are not smart phones. |

Poll: I voted for Yoshiko (Yohane). Her chūnibyō characteristic as a demon can be charmingly amusing. The Kurosawa Sisters, Riko, Hanamaru, and Mari are my other favorites. | |||

The Asterisk War GN 1

The Asterisk War's manga adaptation makes a perfectly serviceable debut, even if this magic high school adventure is nothing unique. Rebecca Silverman takes a look.
― If you've ever read or watched a Magic High School story before, you'll immediately be able to draw parallels to The Asterisk War. That's not because the manga adaptation of Yuu Miyazaki's light novel series isn't good, but rather becau...
