It is grasshoppers vs ants and is based on an Aesop fable about an ant who is constantly working to prepare for the winter while the grasshopper slacks off until it's too late and comes to regret it. For Japan they related it to homework and asked people if they are like grasshoppers (haven't finished their summer homework yet) or ants (finished their homework).


Also Callie is team grasshopper and Marie is team ant.

The Grasshopper image reminds me of Makar from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Grasshopper all the way!

I'd probably go grasshopper if I was in that area. I'm lazy and while I respect ants more, grasshoppers don't eat me.(though I can't say the same for my poor rosebush T.T )

Most ants are female, so I am going where all the ladies are at.

If grasshoppers win by popularity then the ants still have a good shot at winning (according to the Aesop fable.)

As much as I want to be on Team Ants, I just can't seem to work up a good motivation to do much. I'll have to go with Grasshoppers.

If the Splatfest was in a Western region we would be getting tons of Bug's Life Miiverse posts, especially in the NA region due to Pixar's location. Is Pixar big in Japan? Glad to see rival animals come back as a theme.

I think it is, it's not Pixar, but I know that Frozen was very popular when it was released in Japan.
Took a quick look at the Japanese Splatoon splat fest community, but I didn't notice anything about A Bug's Life.

Team ant. Grasshoppers are little ****s who annoy you late at night with their sounds.

A bunch of them can sound alright, anyway. But alone in your house? Good luck sleeping.

I think you are thinking of crickets. Grasshoppers make a very quiet sound and usually during the hottest part of the day.

As much as I like Grasshoppers because they're adorable, I think I'd rather be on Team Ant after all.. ; v ;
