That was also sort of a callback to Slumdog Millionaire, which was a nice touch.

High School Girls are Funky has Yuu Kobayashi which makes it superior to shows without Yuu Kobayashi. Its simple math really.

Angel Beats FTW, but Toradora, perhaps I ought to look into it.

People saying Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Blue Exorcist, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, Eden of the East, and Noein have the right idea.

Highschool of the Dead, I thought it was getting one?

What's extra bizarre about this one is the fact that it was asking users for "anime series with two or more seasons or a theatrical edition they would like to see a sequel to", and I'm pretty sure Angel Beats doesn't fit in to that category.

I feel like it told the story it needed to. A sequel would just be unnecessary.

True but I liked the themes/settings of S;G. I would love if they can do something similar to that with new characters or something.

I guess there is always Robotics;Notes assuming it doesn't end up terrible.

[Articalys]

Why is ANN reporting on a random internet poll? So we can feel smug in the knowledge that a subset of Japanese otaku are morons too?

What's said below, plus a while back they started splitting all their main page articles into "news" and "interest" categories and apparently they decided that gave them free reign to put stuff like this under the latter. Looking at the two archives, it seems almost arbitrary what makes it into each category.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Because lists stir up controversy, which stirs up hits and discussions, which stirs up attention for the site and ad views. That's how Internet "journalism" works.

The GAF Anime of the Year poll probably had more participants than that random poll they posted. Was it because it was in Japanese? You think if we translated the GAF poll, they'll post it as news too?

Strike Witches - YES, MORE PLEASE.
