Actually I feel like people are actually more looking into it's meme list, and kinda ignoring the anime bit of it. Now I'm no anime buff myself but via TVTropes and Google I'm gonna consider "late 2000s" to be 2006-2009. 2005, maybe, but that's not actually late.

According to TVTropes 2000s anime list this actually means Nico Nico actually has some pretty decent anime sources under it's belt including Fairy Tail, Afro Samurai, Lupin III, Black Butler, Soul Eater, Lucky Star, Bakugan, The Melancoly of Haruhi Suzumiya, Super Robot Wars, Ghost in the Shell via a spin-off movie, multiple Pokemon movies, a couple of One Piece films, and even some Mazinger.

Meaning already Nico has sources crossed with BOTH of the other two anime reps Piccolo and Ajit Pai, AND not only that but also ZUN as I've said before since Touhou is MASSIVELY popular on Nico Nico Douga. Throw in MADs, which actually INSPIRED early YTPs for a Robotnik rep, the fact Kingdom Hearts is even more popular amoung Japanese streamers as it is in the West for a Geno rep, Gourmet Race and Masked Dedede MADs which are ALSO super popular, the SHEER popularity of rhythm games like beatmania, REFLEC BEAT and jubeat in the East, then the Japanese only Ace Attorney games and and the fact that Undertale, Splatoon and Puyo Puyo are ALL massively popular there as well and yeah Nico Nico is practically another supercompetitor like Unregistered HyperCam 2 was, being a character that can potentially use like 75% of everyone else's sources.

I hate to say it, but it's practically a shoe-in at this point, only time will tell though if it actually makes it to the finish line as I can tell a lot of people and SiIva fans will vote for meme picks like Krabs or Robotnik, or heavily Western based characters like Adam Levine, Eminem, Johnny Bravo or Jack over what the uneducated masses will kinda just see as a weeb character like Mariya or Piccolo with obscure or obtuse Japan-only references. .--.The general consensous with SiIva's usual comment section is that unless it's a JoJoke or Pokemon they're pretty much just like "ew weeb shit" at like pretty much anything Japanese, even if it obviously isn't like Touhou, or vocaloids, regardless of it's actual quality, which kind of puts characters like Piccolo or Nico at a disadvantage.
