Rance 5D:Popularity Poll

About
The popularity poll for Rance 5D was included in a mail-in questionnaire packaged with copies of the game and divided into five categories: "Favorite Female Character", "Favorite Gal Monster", "Overall Rating of the Game", "Thoughts on Luck-Based Games", and "Thoughts on Game Design". The results of the poll were featured in the June 2003 issue of the company's User Club newsletter.

Trivia

 * The results of the poll were presented by TADA, the director of Rance 5D.
 * TADA expressed disappointment that Noriko, the only girl in the game's cast to match his personal preference for unfortunate girls with glasses, ranked relatively low in her category. He attributed her poor performance to her status as a long-necked Youkai putting off players.
 * An erotic illustration of the character Lil' Avenger drawn by Rance 5D's artist Orion was included alongside the results of the poll due to the high number of user comments that expressed disappointment at her not receiving an erotic scene in the game itself.
 * A fake teaser image for the then-unreleased Rance VI was featured at the end of the poll which depicted it as science fiction game titled "Space Battleship Rance" (宇宙戰艦ランス, uchū senkan ransu) as a tongue-in-cheek nod to Rance 5D's own departure from the series' usual conventions. The teaser was immediately followed up by a message assuring readers that it was merely a joke and that the next Rance title would be a "proper" fantasy.
