While they've already told us what the then-current official character rankings were a few days ago (1. Lelouch, 2. Kallen, 3. Suzaku, 4. Jeremiah, 5. CC, 6. Lloyd, 7. Shirley) another set has just been released with significant changes, up on the Official Blog. Current results :

1. Lelouch (he seems well-entrenched)
2. Suzaku
3. Kallen
4. CC
5. Jeremiah
6. Nanaly
7. Lloyd
8. Shirley
9. Millay
10. Euphemia

I'm really weirded out by how low Euphemia is, considering she's Lacus 2.0 and Lacus is insanely popular over there. ...Kind of annoyed to see Shirley and Nanaly above her, but it might change in time.

Can't say Euphemia is my favourite, but yeah, it's a little odd. Perhaps it's how Geass' got a radically different atmosphere from G.Seed?

I think the fanbases are a lot of the same people though, even in Japan. They seem to be from what I've seen looking around, but who knows. XD

I know a lot of the fanbase is the same, but Geass...just works really, really differently. The hero's goal/desire in SeeD is to stop the cruel war, which coincides with Lacus', while that is clearly not the case with Euphemia. Instead of showing her decision to be wise (because war is cruel and should be stopped) we're shown that it's naive (because life is cruel and struggling is the only way).

And I don't know...I really liked Lacus, but that's probably because---despite the pink hair and Peace for All---she's actually a smart woman. In a way, she could sort of be Lelouch if he's born as Euphemia. Yuffie COULD be like that, but we haven't seen her doing anything yet. (Lacus didn't actually 'show' her smart side until very late, I know, but still!)

I could agree with that. Yuffie certainly isn't exactly like her, and Lacus definitely seemed more intelligent and sure of her motivations even in the beginning than Yuffie does. We'll see how she develops. ^^
