The 3rd Annual GB Anime Poll for Duders

@horseman6: In the other thread there is a lot of recommendations and such. Mainly what people bring up a bunch is probably good.

@horseman6: Jojo's is amazing. If you want something very nostalgic of 90's anime may I recommend Sailor Moon Crystal? It's a remake of Sailor Moon with a higher budget (still the same style though) and it is more faithful to the original manga.

1. Knights of Sidonia
2. Parasyte
3. Space Dandy
4. Kill la Kill
5. Barakamon

Barely missed the top 5: Jojo, Tokyo Ghoul, and Samurai Flamenco.

I would love some recommendations from you guys and girls for some shows that I may have missed!

@mao_yeezy89: Like what @daveyo520 said earlier, check out the main thread. You can find suggestions or ask for specific ones in regards to genre from other duders on that thread.

1. Yu-Gi-Oh: Arc V
2. JoJo
3. Gugure! Kokkuri-san
4. Fate Stay Night
5. Kill la KillI

It was a tough decision between JoJo and Arc V, but in the end Arc V went way above and beyond my expectations.

I wish I could add When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace as a 6th option.

@dochaus: Since I can't GoogleDoc, posting votes here.

In no particular order, with the exception of number one:

1. Silver Spoon (the live-action movie wasn't so great)
2. Buddy Complex
3. Aldnoah.Zero
4. Log Horizon
5. Nobunaga Concerto (the live-action version is fun, too!)

Now, some stuff I watched this year that didn't make top five.

Best action-packed adaptation of existing material:

Knights ofSidonia- Lots of space, lots of robots, pew pews!

Best most earnest, feel-good story with a bittersweet twist:

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha- Inari is a model citizen despite having crazy super powers.

Best heehees-per-minute ratio:

Nozaki-kun- lulz

Best Tatsuya onii-sama:

Tatsuya (Mahouka) - BECAUSE.

Best show about an obscure sport featuring unconventional art style:

Ping Pong- pretty good up until the ending, which is less good.

Best fanservice show with lots of boobs and upskirts without coming off as too sleazy:

Rail Wars!- The road to becoming a train conductor is a tough one with many obstacles, including and not limited to many instances of accidental face-breast.

Best show in a category that I usually don't watch (romance):

Blue Spring Ride- OMG high school dating flashbacks, brb burying my face in a pillow and pretend none of it ever happened.

Best show who appears to be really smart in the beginning then ends like a leaky balloon:

Terror in Resonance- It's best not to think about this one too much and just ride along.

FASTEST PACED ANIME ADAPTATION OF EXISTING MATERIAL IT'S SO FAST THAT I CAN'T EVEN TYPE THIS SENTENCE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP OMG:

Tokyo Ghoul- VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Vroom.

The one the only idol group making process thingy anime that I've only watched (and actually liked):

Wake Up, Girls!- At first I was thinking "what the fuck am I doing with my life?" then I was like "this isn't half bad, huh."

Best train wreck:

Wizard Barristers- that one episode where they like had no animation budget and it was literally a slideshow made me think something was wrong with my media player, but wait why are the subtitles totally going okay, this doesn't make any sense- oh wait.

@dochaus: @tobbrobb:

Tonari Seki kun is there. I did do lots of checkings. I do make mistakes.

@takashichea: not to tamp your enthusiasm, but I think he was joking that not enough people were voting for Seki-kun, not that it was off the list.

Also, hey! Haven't seen you around here in awhile!

@jimipeppr:

Added Noragami. My mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.

@dochaus:

Hey, old friend. It was finals week for me and a lot of projects at Anime Vice due to being a wiki mod. Oh my mistake. I was looking the Gdoc just in case for anything missing. I will vote.

When does voting officially end?

@golguin: I probably should have written that down.

Let's say...polls close at the end of December 29th (Monday). I'll make a post in this thread when it's over for real.

Looks like we've gotten all the votes we're getting this year. Polls are officially closed!

Will the votes be tallied soon? I'm curious to see how my top 3 anime did.
