I actually fully endorse this idea. It'll motivate some of the backloggers to get some of their material done before the start of voting as well.
Its kind of a terrible show but still entertaining for what it is. Who is your favorite girl in it?
I like those kinds of characters
Especially if they are wearing cat ears in the process.
I think I will watch this show as soon as Im off my work week.
I do sometimes worry that due to the happy go lucky nature of my post that if I post seriously I may come off as annoyed. But believe me I never get angry at forum posts.
Besides I'm the one who tried and failed to get SAO as AOTY. Results don't matter to me but I for think they should be fair.
It would need a little work as someone could have seen 10 shows but only deem five of them as vote worthy. Technically their number one should get full marks so maybe they can list the ten but say which ones get points.
Of course!

Excellent character design for the two leads. The magical stuff looks pretty good too, Anticipated to check it out if its picked up here.

While watching that this was the only thing i kept seeing:
Everytime I see a short brown haired anime girl, I always see Haruna. Kore Wa Zombie Desu ka has ruined me.
Hmm... kind of a tie between Charlotte and Houki. I like Charlotte's personality more, but Houki tended to have more moments of adorableness.

10 is a pretty high barrier of entry for only new anime that some people just don't have the time/energy for. Asking people to watch 2-3 anime a season is a lot when some people may only have 1-2 shows they're interested in. Also it'll require people to possibly vote for shows they didn't like just to meet the requirement. There are shows this year like Fantasita Doll or Devils & Realist which I wouldn't want to receive any votes but I'd have to include to get to 10. If you're going to have a minimum it needs to be something more manageable like 5 that way if they watch the 1-2 highlight shows a season they'll be okay.
Still I don't think putting a minimum is going to "fix the problem". There is nothing to stop people from just placing random shows to meet the requirement and there's no way to check to see if said poster watched any of the shows.

There's nothing wrong with people voting for fewer shows; it would just mean that their top choices got fewer points. I think that's a fair way of handling things. It allows everyone, even people who just watched one show, to vote, but votes of people who only watched two shows have a little less weight.
Especially since the idea of the first place vote getting 10 points is based on the idea of someone voting for 10 shows (eg first gets 10 points, second gets nine, and tenth gets a single point). Logically, if you only vote for five shows, your first place show should only get 5 points.
Few other bits of news for the morning:
-- The Noragami anime is confirmed for January 2014, with Hiroshi Kamiya and Maaya Uchida in the lead roles.
-- Blood Lad mangaka Yuki Kodama and 428 writer Yukinori Kitajima seem to be teaming up for a new media franchise Hamatora, which so far includes a manga series, anime series, and video game.
-- Gundam Build Fighters will be simulcast with subtitles on Gundam.info, though there's no word on region restrictions yet.
-----------------------------------------------------
As for all the discussion about AOTY rules stuff, I'm just going to wait until late November/early December to start actually thinking about it more seriously.

Or it's an elitist mindset that discredits users who only want to watch a few anime each year. I understand anime gaf users don't want to see
1. Attack on Titan
As votes that fully count, but that's the name of the game. There's no way to prove that user didn't watch every anime this season and felt AoT was the only one worth voting for.

I would have put Swing Out Sisters on my list last year if it was allowed!
I guess I'll settle for that one hentai with Sugita in it.

Though the series has yet to be licensed, you could watch it on Crunchyroll.

I doubt there will be another season of this series
as the manga ended last month and the anime adaptation had an anime-original ending
It won't.

Anime art looks better than the manga art. Looking forward to this story animated.
Oh? Such confidence, possibly unwarranted in the face of accessibility.

It doesn't discredit those users, though. It simply weights the votes.
How is it fair for someone to award 10 points to a show when they only voted for one show?
The other issue is that if there's nothing keeping people from doing that, then people who have seen a lot of anime could decide to only vote for their favorite so that they can give it 10 points without potentially hurting its chances by voting for 9 other shows.
It seems like a simple thing to say "You can vote for up to 10 anime. Your first place choice gets X points (where X = the number of titles you voted for) and each choice after that gets one less point."
I don't really consider that elitist. It's just a sensible voting method which lessens the potential for gaming the system.

Out of curiosity, what would you consider "credible" hype?
BassForever

Or it'll lead to
1. The anime I watched
2-10. Random anime on the list
Which hurts the credibility of the vote
Something less over the top then the anime that is going to save anime, though I suspect that one is tongue in cheek. Some of the GAF hyper seems to be that earnestly hyperbolic though.
That was phase two of my plan. It was going to a lot of subtle reference to show I like in the OP so those looking for shows to pad out their list will be brain washed into voting for the things I like.
Easy, you just have to provide your Hummingbird account so our team of vote counters can check to see if you have seen at least 10 shows from 2013.
I agree that 10 is too high a barrier, but I think 3-5 should be okay. That's 3-5 shows across an entire year, so it isn't really that hard, but it also protects against the point that "how can you call x anime of the year if you ONLY saw x?" Like, right now I'm at 5, I think, but I don't consider myself the norm, given that I watched the majority of new shows during my vacation. I've seen Gargantia, MJP, Valvrave, AoT, and Maou. I didn't finish AoT, but I think getting 20-21 episodes through a 25ish episode run is good enough to judge the quality of the show, barring dramatic shifts in quality at the end.
So yeah, 3-5 is ideal to me, even though I'll probably watch around 10 total this year (Aku no Hana, Pokemon the Origin, Gundam Build Fighters, Coppelion, Samurai Flamenco and Kill la Kill.)

For people for whom Gurren Lagann is their favorite anime, it makes sense to be intensely looking forward to a new project from the same creative team.
GAF has bad taste but not to that extent.
No doubt expectations are high but also might be setting themselves up for a fall or indeed at least the unexpected. Not to mention that hype is getting downright grating on the nerves, especially since this season has many potential candidates for AOTY. Also, the preview videos have flat out sucked and some of the designs are rather questionable at best and embarrassing at worst.

People are just having fun with the hype, just as they will enjoy jumping on the show if it disappoints.
Hmmm, actually, I don't believe many will enjoy jumping on hating on Kill La Kill as they want this to be genuinely good.
Yup. I'm hyped for it, cuz TTGL was so good, but if it sucks, I'll rend it limb from limb. Attack on Titan is a great example of that. When it started, people were hyped as hell, but when it turned out to be like, the worst anime of the year and one of the worst I've ever seen, you can believe people were only too willing to tear at it.

Any expectations for anything could be frustrated. But if people aren't allowed to look forward to things, why even bother living? I'm not interested in Kill la Kill myself, because I dislike Imaishi, but I wouldn't try to stop others from being excited for it.
Hence the voting controversy, I suppose.

That won't matter, it hasn't mattered for past shows that were hyped and subsequently torn apart. See Magi and AOT for recent examples.
