After completing an internal analysis of 2016 player stats in 100% Orange Juice, we figured it’d be fun to share some popularity stats for the year as well.

It’s a long post, so prepare to scroll down!

Before writing this post, I also made some polls on Twitter for some of the categories, to see if people can guess which character was most popular. The community answers will be included where relevant.

Starting with the big one:

Most popular starter character – the winner is… Suguri! (Community guessed correctly!)


Least popular starter character – the winner(?) is Kai!


Most popular non-starter character – the winner is Star Breaker! (Community guessed Sora)


Most popular non-starter FRB character – the winner is Sherry (who gets a bottle of wine)! (Community guessed correctly!)


Most popular non-starter male character – the winner is Peat!


Most popular campaign unlock character – the winner is Yuki!


Most popular bonus character – the winner is Mixed Poppo! (community overwhelmingly guessed Sora (Military))


Most popular bunny – the winner is… Aru! Congratulations!


Most popular NPC character – the happy winner is Chicken!


And last, the answer (at least for 2016) to the question, which one is more popular – Saki or Sham? The numbers don’t lie, the winner this time around was… Sham! (Community guessed Saki)


We have a lot of cool stuff planned for 2017 too, so stay tuned!
