Support NeoGAF

[Articalys]

Yeah, just saw this over on the gaming section. Interesting that it will be packaged in here as well. Thanks for this information.

Oh, sorry, didn't mean to confuse. The box set is only just the TV series all in one package; I was just listing off all the different projects they've got going for next year.

 

[cajunator]

Actually, fuck. I forgot Acchi Kocchi was this year (keep thinking last year)

That one is up there, just needed to decide if two or three...

Acchi Kocchi is my favorite happy squee junkfood but its not AOTY material.

 

[kayos90]

If F/Z isn't #1 or #2 AotY then I swear I'll break something.

 

[Dresden]

After much angsting i've completed my ballot, which is

1. hyouka
2. tsuritama
3. fate zero
4. stuff

---

btw the worst anime I saw all year was Marimo no Hana. Another crime against humanity by the AKB machine.

 

[madp]

No, there has just been one vote.

We ended up filtering out non-AnimeGAF posters to create an AnimeGAF AotY last year, so I'll probably do the same thing this year.

Surprisingly almost all of the AotY top ten remained on the list even when votes were filtered out; for the most part only the rankings changed. For 2011 that basically meant that AnoHana was no longer in the top ten, hahah.

 

[Tomat]

If F/Z isn't #1 or #2 AotY then I swear I'll break something.

You didn't pick SAO for your #1?

I had you all wrong Kayos. You're an okay dude.

 

[Dresden]

wandering son not at #1 is why Obama was reelected.

 

[madp]

Acchi Kocchi is my favorite happy squee junkfood but its not AOTY material.

I'll be interested to see who ranks their stuff critically and who ranks their stuff based on personal fun factor, although for most people here I assume it'll be one and the same.

I'm going to have two or three curveball "fun" votes myself, although I expect that most of you can already guess them.

 

[Nafe]

No, there has just been one vote.

Okay, I thought I recalled earlier where people were comparing two different lists the one time where the shows were pretty similar but the order was maybe just slightly rearranged. I remember the "AnimeGaf list" had The Idolm@ster listed but the "NeoGaf list" had something else in the top 10. I must be thinking of something else I suppose.

--Looks like Mad Pierrot mentioned what I was thinking of.

Oh, sorry, didn't mean to confuse. The box set is only just the TV series all in one package; I was just listing off all the different projects they've got going for next year.

Oh, no, that's my mistake. I think it's pretty clear from your post. That's what I deserve for just skim reading it. Sorry.

 

[Envelope]

wandering son not at #1 is why Obama was reelected.

So it's a good thing? Or a necessary sacrifice?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

pretty talented.
seems the Girls und Panzer figures with the model tanks were fan made,
guess im going to have to make my own.

 

[Theonik]

After a long hiatus...
Ojomajo Doremi 05
A pretty cute episode, feels pretty weird to get back to this after so many months.

Spoiler

The Ojomajo are originally disappointed that their plan didn't work but through their spirit of entrepreneurship it all works out somehow. Also there is a dog thing. It looked weird but I guess artstyle and all.

Would still be less of a joke than Panty and Stocking winning.

But it had the best ending.

Spoiler

OST was nice too

 

[madp]

wandering son not at #1 is why Obama was reelected.

So I take it you're petitioning for secession from AnimeGAF?

 

[kayos90]

I had you all wrong Kayos. You're an okay dude.

LOL? Why would I have SAO as #1? You'd have to be insane to have SAO as #1.

Well there is only one show that I willingly spent $800 on...

 

[chickdigger802]

I was busy all day today. Seems like the fun started without me.

 

[cajunator]

Awful.

 

[Mature]

nonononono

 

[jbug617]

My AOTY

1. Tsuritama (i really liked everything from the show. The characters, art style and story)
2. Sakamichi no Apollon (it has it's problems but I think it's a very nice story with good animations)
3. Kokoro Connect (very underrated and it's overshadowed by the controversy)
4. Kuroko no Basket (I think this was the best sports anime this year)

I didn't watch all of Fate/Zero.

 

[madp]

Well there is only one show that I willingly spent $800 on...

It's not like you had a wide range of options for $800 shows to begin with!

Spoiler

good man, regardless of our 2-10 spots, we are united in our #1

 

[Dresden]

So I take it you're petitioning for secession from AnimeGAF?

The tree of liberty is watered with sweet tea.

 

[Hellsing321]

wandering son not at #1 is why Obama was reelected.

Don't blame me I voted for Kodos.

 

[Regulus Tera]

You have many waifus, don't you Regulus?

Nia is mai one pure waifu. All the others are already used.

 

[Maedhros]

So she isn't a send up of that character type? Hmmmm. I don't know if I'm prepared to hate a character in this show yet. It's been fun so far.

No man... it's better to decide that for yourself... I don't really want to spoil anything for you.

That's from June 2012, no wonder I didn't remember that.

 

[Firemind]

I find this easy to masturbate to.

 

[dimb]

A lot of casual viewers like myself are not here to "appreciate the dialogue or animation," so it's not all that surprising.

If you're so casual how did you wind up with more posts in here than me?

So who's gonna fess up to voting for Sekirei: Pure Engagement?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

After much angsting i've completed my ballot, which is

1. hyouka
2. tsuritama
3. fate zero
4. stuff

I haven't seen/finished enough from this year to feel confident making my own AOTY list currently, but this is how the top of it should shake out, at least for TV.

btw the worst anime I saw all year was Marimo no Hana. Another crime against humanity by the AKB machine.

It's so insubstantial I can hardly call it "worst", but yeah, it was bad aside from the one Hisashi Mori animation cut. And the AKB voice "actress" certainly is in the running for worst Japanese voice acting I've ever heard. (Never trusting raito-kun again.)

 

[Mature]

List time?

AOTY 2012
1. Nazo no Kanojo X
2. Sakamichi no Apollon
3. Ano Natsu de Matteru

 

[cajunator]

1. Fate Zero- badass. Pretty. Cute. RIDER. Saber. Nuff said.
2. Chihayafuru - does this count? It better count.
3. Space Bros - this show is just amazing for all its simplicity. Dem feels.
4. Tsuritama - i love fishing. Im an alien. I love the art style. This show was made for me.
5. Accel World - this was way too entertaining for its own good.
6. Hyouka - magnificently executed, gorgeous to look at, and Misaki is so adorable but ultimately this show didn't have much to say.
7. Im too lazy to continue.

 

[Tomat]

If you're so casual how did you wind up with more posts in here than me?

I post a lot of dumb shit because I spend too much time on GAF. You actually play games and watch shows.

 

[Jarmel]

Well there is only one show that I willingly spent $800 on...

How is this possible? The two releases in the US don't add to $800.

 

[Pooya]

SAO - 21

If you enjoy this you're a bad person. LOL

 

[SDBurton]

But it had the best ending.

Spoiler

OST was nice too

Theonik knows what's up.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Oh my god. An actual tentacle monster? Jesus christ.

 

[CorvoSol]

I believe the two voice actresses portraying Lacus Clyne in Gundam SEED reprise their roles for Gundam SEED Destiny.

Odd, because her singing voice seems way less off this time. Maybe she just tweaked it. Either way, it seems less off this time because I'm pretending that the cast of SEED are all adults now, even though they're probably teens. Also, where did

Spoiler

Andy Waltfeld get another arm? He only had one at the end of SEED.

Gurren Lagann 10 I've changed my mind. I hate Nia completely and totally and this show will be considered on a downhill slope if I have to go two more episodes of Simone pulling a damn Shinji Ikari over

Spoiler

Kamina's death. Also if Kamina is dead for the rest of this show, I will be inclined to agree that the second half is bull. First 8 episodes are fun and fast-paced and I'm now two or three episodes into this mopefest and tired of it.

.

I hate Nia because she's an obvious and painfully annoying Mary Sue. Red cross eyes are frustrating to look at, weird sky and cloud hair, too, but the worst part is that she's sickly-sweet and perfect princessy. She's like Lacus but worse.

Oh and I hate Hime and Gime and wish they had died in that village's ceremony. I'm hoping they've been kept alive solely for the purpose of killing them off and allowing Rossio some more character development. Because Rossio gets no damn respect on that boat.

 

[cajunator]

Second day air.
When ups ground just dont fuckin cut it.

 

[Soma]

objectively best AOTY list incoming choo choo motherfuckers:

1. Nisemonogatari
2. Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne
3. Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!
4-10. Everything else is lame
11. any scene with Suguha in Sword Art Online S2

 

[Jarmel]

Second day air.
When ups ground just dont fuckin cut it.

I mean I spent $800 on the releases but I was getting the Japanese box that held both seasons.

Idolm@ster > Chihayafuru, that list is right, your "troll vote" assertion is wrong.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I find it quite dumb to vote for a Whatever of the Year thing when the year hasn't ended or when the year has just ended. Too much recency bias, especially in video games.

boooooooo (watch episode 11 now)

 

[madp]

guys, guys, why are you revealing your votes early? That's half of the fun!

So who's gonna fess up to voting for Sekirei: Pure Engagement?

That the 2010 list? I don't even think that I could have come up with ten anime to vote for in 2010. Fucking wasteland year.

2. Chihayafuru - does this count? It better count.

Premiered Fall 2011 so unfortunately no.

 

[cajunator]

That would make as much sense to me as egyptian heiroglyphics.

I really enjoyed it from that episode or so until just before the anime ended, liked it much better than first portion. Simon is just plain awesome.
