Well I though the Hen Zemi TV show was pretty bad but the OVA was great, so to me it would make more sense to split things up. In other situations filler OVAs drag a show down if it is incorporated into the TV series.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Certainly has been an interesting one, that's for sure. ^^;
They're mostly bad, but some people probably liked stuff like Roberta's Blood Trail.
I heard the last part invalidate the whole arc lol.
OVA for Darker than Black was amazing, so was teh OVA for Red Garden. Also, the one for Baccano.
Man that list makes me realize i watched a ton of bad anime this year.
Out of context, this may be the best line I've ever read.
Silver Link :/ But, yes, I'm down for Tasogare animated if it's done right.
Someone needs to watch it.

Given that no one here thinks positively about Guilty Crown, except maybe cosmicblizzard, you might want to reconsider that decision. At any rate, check out Chihayafuru, Fate/Zero, and Working'!!; those are my personal favorites from the fall season.
I have watched Steins Gate and Pinguindrum untill I had to move to London for my Uni. I am follwing both of them (sinishing Steins Gate as it finished)
I'll look into Denpa Onna.
Guilty Crown is rubbish? But Duckroll told me otherwise...
I never liked Fate/stay night and its universe, so I am gonna skip Fate/Zero. I haven't watched the first season of Working, so I might as well watch that first one. Chihayafuru? Will check it out.

Guilty Crown is pretty enjoyable. I would suggest giving Phi Brain a shot, its a nice ride if you like puzzles and Mirai Nikki for a taste of crazy suspense.
Anime of Fall Season : Chihayafuru.
Other anime worth noting is Working'!! Ben-to and Last Exile Fam.
The reason people still watch guilty crown is for wheelchair girl.

Duckroll has pretty often a unique opinion about things.

You should know better than to listen to everything duckroll says (and even he says it's a very bad and incredibly stupid show).
I haven't watched or read Fate/Stay Night, but common consensus is that it's considerably inferior to Fate/Zero. The latter should be watched, if only to witness the amazingness that is Rider. Just be aware that the first episode is the weakest.
Working'!! starts with a good re-introduction episode, so it's not necessary to watch the first season. The show changes some between the two, due to a new director and writer, so you might like the second season even if you don't like the first.
Uhm...
I'd say watch Fate Zero because you haven't watched FSN, infact just pretend FSN doesn't exist, actually it doesn't exist, hey wait, what am I talking about here.
And I recently learn my goddess VA is voicing her, is there no anime where she isn't the shining light in, what is a dark shitty toilet?
How many more must you deceive duckroll!?!
It is thankless work.
FSN is shit as is the beginning of Fat Zero but everyone needs to experience the raw manliness that is Rider. I'd say it's pretty safe to skip the first season of Working and many here agree that the second season is a fair improvement over it. Chihayafuru is good in spite of the terribly boring game it's based around. Do check it out.

I couldn't stand three episodes of F/SN, and Fate/Zero is significantly better after the first episode.
Working!! is good, and Working'!! is even better.
Aside from that, I'm a huge believer in Ben-to. If the idea of it sounds like fun to you, you should watch it, because it's about as good as anyone could possibly hope a show about fighting for half-price lunches could be.
You watch the bad anime, cajun buys the figures. Without people like the two of you the anime industry would be

I liked the circle scene. It reminded me of sharks circling their prey before going in for the kill.
Marvelously boring you mean.

Poor Mariko ;_;. Then right after all that drama, they proceed to drop a bomb...
I love this show.
To think that some people haven't watched this show, and aren't even planning to watch it. Like, what the hell?
To make you feel better I'm on episode 3 or 4 of my never ending backlog.
Providing my mind doesn't self combust by the end of the week.

I've never understood the point of voting for "...of the Year" contests before the year has ended. At the very least there should be a six-month window from the December 31st and the actual voting so that people have enough time to check most stuff.
OH MY GLORIOUS FABULOUS FUCK
It's ok, FSN is terrible. Fate/Zero is a legitimately great show, and you dont need any prior experience in the Fate series to watch it. In fact the show is probably even more enjoyable if you dont.
Chihayafuru is also definitely one of the best of this season.
Personally I liked it quite a bit. It had some issues that are obviously a turn off to many people, so I can understand why only a few people here enjoyed it.

But I've already watched ~50ish shows that have aired this year. There's probably more than a handful of other people who have done the same

Sounds like Izayoi's favourite show.

Maybe if the vote were closed to the AnimeGAF thread it would make sense to vote before the end of the year, but most people don't check out shows as they air. And don't get me started on how voting during December skews the GotY awards towards holiday titles.But I've already watched ~50ish shows that have aired this year.

Let's not forget that the best part is watching others suffer and no-one exactly knowing when, if ever, it would end. Truly a glorious time.
...and i was this close to finally getting this song out of my head after marathoning the show last week too.

And to think, too many shows can barely reach one 'proper' conclusion, let alone two!

Do watch Fate/Zero though. I am not the biggest Type-Moon fan at all but Fate/Zero is great. It's really not all that similar to FSN.
Nah. Pretty sure Madoka wins pretty easily if there was one.
