ACNH Villager Rankdown (#1 and #2 HAVE BEEN POSTED!)

[Asarena]

I thought Bangle would rank higher to be honest! I didn't know some people weren't as fond of her. It makes me even less sure of which villager will end up taking first place

 

[Coolio15]

Aw, I don't remember where I ended up putting Bangle in my public ranking but it probs should've been higher. Bangle is very cute but I feel that she very much does get overshadowed by the other peppy tiger in Bianca, whose snow leopard design and cute aesthetic just seem to appeal to people (including me) more than Bangle's more basic and tropical design.
Still, sad to see her out before top 10, but I'm glad to see that she made it this far in the competition!

 

[Verecund]

Even though Bangle was the second-lowest on my list, I'm still kind of sad because I can see the appeal behind her. She still doesn't really stand out to me as much of the others, especially when it comes to peppies since there's so many cute ones, but I do think she'd grow on me if I ever got her. I think it'd be nice to have her for a bit and see if she can make me like her more, but until then I have no regrets over where I placed her.

Yeah, I definitely agree about the thing with Bianca. I think people just really like winter and fall in ACNH, so it makes sense why Bianca is more popular with others.

I know one poster is going to be really upset by this ranking. To be honest, I expected Filbert to be ranked much higher. Maybe it’s just because of the overwhelming support I saw from one poster during the previous rounds. I’m pretty neutral on Filbert. I like his light blue fur, but I will admit that his eyes are a little creepy. Not to mention, he pales in comparison to some of the other amazing squirrels that are in the game. I have never had Filbert in a mainline Animal Crossing game, but I remember being so excited when I got the big rocket from his cookie in Pocket Camp. Overall, I think this is a fair spot for Filbert, though I’m sure another poster will say otherwise.

Ranker/Public Write-Ups​

@Asarena - Again, we run into an eye issue. His eyes are so blank. They're just big black circles in bigger white circles. The little eyebrows that match some of his other markings don't really help either. He just looks so empty to me. I think his happy smile and big nose make it worse somehow. They make him look kind of goofy. If it weren't for his eyes I'd probably love him, but I just can't get past them. His fur is a beautiful shade of blue, and both the interior and exterior of his home are so wonderfully blue as well. I also like the space theme he has going on in his house.

@Verecund - I love this adorable little guy! I first had him in my first ever town on WW and I grew super attached. I'd spent like an hour a night when I was a kid just talking to him in his house and hanging out! Blue is my favourite colour, and I love the squirrels for their cute bouncy swirly tails, so combining both is like the perfect combination, and his pink cheeks and round eyes make him extra cute. He's my favourite villager (hence the fast pass I gave him) and it'd be super cool to see him win since I don't think he gets enough love.

^It's like being threatened by a cupcake!

@VexTheHex - Early on I was planning on adopting Pecan, Sheldon, and/or Poppy. I have not encountered any of these three on my hunts and also have taken others of those personalities instead. My Squirrel desire has now nabbed me Filbert on a 5 ticket hunt that had him move in on Halloween night. He is just straight up adorable. His color scheme is really pleasing to the eye. I really do love the Squirrel tails and love the blue and white swirl he has going on. The spot on his head is my only complaint, but it isn't nearly as odd as Peanut's since at least his still fits his color scheme. He's a cute little guy and look forward to getting to know him more. His house exterior is nice and stands out from most of the Lazys who have the more shack or cabin homes. His interior is very pretty and actually sort of fits with his career interest being a pilot. Maybe he wants to fly on starry nights. I've been drawn to him and the design so much that I am considering trying to get at least one more squirrel even if someone I really enjoy has to go to make room.

Wow, I thought that Filbert was going to be top 5 material. He’s in that area where he’s not overdone or overrated, so he looks like a safe pick. There’s other safe picks here (sherb comes to mind) so I’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah, I agree! I thought he’d at least be Top 10.

 

[Verecund]

RIP Filbert :( I didn't think he'd place much higher than this, but I was still hoping for him to break the top ten or so. Hoping the rest of my top five can stay strong.

Also, I tried so hard for that rocket in his PC cookie and out of 48 cookies (38 of which were for LT) I never got it. :( Ended up with 11 pairs of boots instead. Definitely not my wisest LT-spending moment.

EDIT: I just went on NH and Filbert was sick! He was so sad from your rankings that it manifested as a cold. :P

 

[Toska]

Aw, that's a shame! Filbert was my favorite in the running! However, I'm not surprised. Hopefully one of my favorites can get top 5, then!

Oh no! Poor guy, I hope he feels better!

Oh, sorry... Hopefully your other favorites place higher.

 

[Asarena]

And with that, the last of my bottom four has appeared. I feel like the last of my top four will show up soon too to be honest

I must have missed Sprinkle's reveal yesterday. Poor Sprinkle! Oh well, maybe I'll have to bring her to my island to make up for her ranking but all things considered, I never even thought she'd make the top 50 let alone be in the final round! Placing 16 is really great considering how many villagers we've ranked!

I didn't appreciate Sprinkle when I had her as an early villager because she didn't go with the theme I had at the time. Then recently I was looking at a villager database and saw how adorable her house interior is when she's not one of the early ones. So I ordered an Amiibo for her and hope to bring her back at some point.

Hopefully they don’t show up too soon.

I love that Bruce and Canberra are reasonable high up the list! They are both really cool and cute

Yeah, I’m so happy to see Bruce place this high!

 

[Pintuition]

Awwww, RIP Filbert! Anyone else feel like the rankdowns have changed their view of certain villagers? I've always been kind of neutral towards Filbert, hence my ranking of him in the middle, but now he's kind of growing on me.

Ranking 14 is a huge feat, though, all things considered. I have to try to sit down and figure out who's left!

 

[Emmsey]

Yeah I do kind of agree I can't say I've expressed much of an impression on Filbert previous but now I also am considering him for one of my future islanders. I think he looks pretty neat but up until now was lost in the haze of other characters.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a certain deer I backed to rank highly but I'm not gonna lie the suspense is killing me!

15. Bangle

@Florence + The Machine - 13th

I know one ranker is going to really upset by this ranking. Bangle is a villager I have always felt neutral towards. She’s pretty cute, but her colors have never really appealed for me. I will admit that she looks really cute in the image I provided. She's also one of the better tigers that are in the game. This is kind of sad, but my fondest memories of Bangle are when I was hunting for my first Peppy and I rejected her. Maybe I would like her better if I actually had her in my town. I’ll let the other rankers give you a better summary of Bangle.

Ranker/Public Write-Ups​

@Asarena - Bangle is my second favorite tiger after Bianca. The yellow stripes go really well with her brown fur. The only things that kind of bug me are her singular light color eyelashes.

@Verecund - I actually like Bangle better than Olaf (although still less than everyone else above him), but I'm putting her below him because I nominated her twice and she's still here. What can I say - I'm stubborn. ;\ I don't even dislike Bangle at all; it's just that I'm not enthusiastic about her and she doesn't interest me enough. She's actually pretty cute, though, and the bright yellow markings on her are cool. But with so many great villagers, there has to be something to really stand out, and she's not cute enough to do that, and she just doesn't match up to the others in here.

@WaileaNoRei - To be honest, Bangle was not a villager I expected to become a favorite. I was island hoping for my three first move-ins and had a limited number of tickets. I’d passed up a few villagers, don’t remember them all but definitely Puddles and Audie were in there. I didn’t know what I was looking for and was worried I had made a mistake in passing up Audie (all I knew was that she was popular, and at the time I didn’t know whether that was for a concrete reason or not). But then there was Bangle, and she was cute enough. I planned to have her for a while and then hopefully let her move out quickly to get a villager I liked more. Then one day I just realized...she was like the life of my island. She’s a great villager. I know there are no real differences but I swear she’s just extra special. Always out and about, always doing different activities – singing, treasure hunts, playing, fashioning (don’t know what to call it), hanging out with the other villagers. She’s so fun to dress up, her cheery look always makes me feel better. Originally, I wasn’t sure I liked the tiger villagers. Their heads are quite large and I didn’t know if I completely liked the design. But Bangle has such great expressiveness, and I find her body is just stocky enough to balance out her head. Can’t imagine my island without Bangle now, in a strange way I feel she is the villager Island Rep (Genji may have been around longer but he’s got his own weird jock stuff to do).

Bangle!!! Sorry everyone, I threw out my back last week and then life did that thing where a bunch of stuff piled up while I was incapacitated and I’ve only now dug myself out! Honestly, I am overall happy with this placement for Bangle. Obviously, if it were up to me, she would have been much higher, but she never had a fast pass, and I didn’t think she would make it this far as she usually seems not too popular. Even I took some time to get to really love her like I do now. She really is such a wonderful villager, and even knowing all the villagers are the same, I just feel like she is special, even beyond her looks (though I now have gone from thinking she is pretty cute to thinking she is absolutely adorable - her smile eyes expression is). 14/ 140 is pretty darn good!

Don’t worry Bangle, my fabulous bestie, you are living your best life on my island for the long haul.

I do think this aesthetic difference somewhat explains some of my out of sync with the majority villager opinions. I really favor warm colors - browns, and orange and tans and don’t like the cool tones as much - which would fit my disinterest in Bianca, fang, and even Diana. (Flurry being the exception, after many months of loving everything but her blue eyebrows).

the rankdown caused me to reassess my disinterest in bones, to the point that I invited him to my island! He’s not a permanent villager, but he is pretty darn cute. Definitely, one of my favorite ladies!

Sorry for my multiple posts as I catch up what I missed.
Seems weird to say, but I have no opinion on filbert, really none. He’s probably underrated, especially as in general people seem to really like the blue villagers.

I don’t dislike him at all, but for some reason nothing about him really grabs me. But good job to filbert! You made it pretty far!

I’m glad Bangle has some support on your island!

Ah, I’m glad it’s good for something else besides manifesting colds in villagers.

I can see how he could come across as bland to others.

Hard to believe that we’re already up to #12 and #13. What are your predictions?
