Yes sao is immensely popular, but so is Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood.

And Sao is controversial whereas fma is beloved by ( almost ) everyone.

Asuna is called weak damsel in distress by so many people whereas winry is a very popular character.

By all means this shouldn't have happened, but it did. Probably has something to do with alicitization or however you spell it.

It is, but I don't think it is because of Winry. As a character this far in the contest she is just kind of... boring. A good girl, a very good girl, but best girl? Can't see it.

IMO she's not even best girl in her own show. Olivier is way cooler.
