Fate Zero counts because it's split cour but Chihayafuru doesn't, this seems like a silly distinction.

that wasn't even the worst voice acting of 2008 (hellooooooooooooooo shikabane hime)

Pictures which are not safe for work should be linked with that warning, IMO.

so she... splits the cabbage? :kayos
It's a heart not cabbage. >.>
Thank you for doing this. I was actually waiting for someone to get confused so they'll explain it. I don't get the cabbage thing. Can anyone explain this?
Oh.
sure looks like a cabbage to me
is this where the startling incestuous betrayal happens

Wait till DTL leads the charge for Guilty Crown as AOTY.
I already edited mine twice already.
Kawahara is a fucking genius.
Where is your list? Come on now.
I would've posted the entire sequence but I was too lazy to grab all the screen caps.
I am pretty sure Kawahara is not responsible for this, it would make for some very weird prose.

My personal belief is that TV shows which air during the year, whether or not they started that year, should be eligible for Anime of the Year voting. If someone wants to vote for, say, the new Hunter X Hunter in their 2012 list because they feel that the portion of it that aired in 2012 was some of the best anime to come out during the year, why shouldn't they be allowed to? In particular, restricting two-cour anime spanning fall and winter and saying you have to judge them before they're finished seems rather arbitrary to me. (The latter wouldn't be such a problem if voting was held later than January, of course.)
Same for OVAs spanning multiple years (e.g., Akito, Yamato).
It's been a while, but I think it was kinda unremarkable to me. I don't remember much about it, anyway.
Too early. I have to check on some stuff again and look over what came out.
#1 is that hidden box Imouto show where the guy has to marry a girl but one of them is his sister. Obviously.
I just really like Feena Fam Earthlight.
Also they fixed the cabbage on the dvd version I have.
still not posting my list until the AotY thread is up. Lists are sacred, yo.
It is, but I only say it because that's how it's been done in the past. For those who think that the rule is dumb, what would be preferable: shows airing in two different years being eligible in both years of their airing, or only being eligible the year that they finish?

Time to start a new show! This wasn't a bad first episode. Rather impressed with the direction of the show such as walking to the club room and during the whole choose your club hallway. It was mostly an intro episode though it did have a trollish opening where I thought I was watching the wrong show.

You should be able to vote on anything that airs (or for movies, released to the home market) in that calendar year, I don't see the need or purpose for arbitrary restrictions. And I seem to recall a bunch of people saying they wanted to see how Chihayafuru ended up before voting on it last year.

Oh well, I guess it's cuteness is enough for me.For me it's always kind of a mix of both.
I guess right now it'd be:
1) Ano Natsu de Matteru
2) Chuu2Byou
3) Acchi Kocchi
4) Hyouka
5) Space Brothers
6) Daily Lives of High School Boys
7) Bodacious Space Pirates
8) Kids on the Slope
9) Yuru Yuri S2
10) I don't have a number 10 yet.

I'll have it, I'm just kind of lost on how to order things past my top 4. My list will probably be something like this:
1) Hyouka
2) Fate/zero
3) Space Brothers
4) Kids on a Slope
Daily Lives of High School Boys
Kokoro Connect
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Humanity has Declined
Blast of Tempest
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
Tempest could drop out if it falls hard, and the ordering is mostly arbitrary for now, but I actually want to list 10 shows this year. And I need to finish Tsuritama.
I enjoyed it but at the same time it wasn't remarkable enough to have much impact on me. I liked the characters, their interactions between each other, and I personally thought the drama and romance was handled relatively well. Other than that though I can't say it was memorable enough to warrant a spot on my list. I am still curious to see how the series end with the last arc.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 8
Perhaps my anime interests are just failing to align with this but I just cant get into it anymore. The whole episode was a drag, mind kept wondering off comparing the green sparkles to those of Aeolia Schenberg's GN particles and stuff, and then just being unexcited through the fight. For a vampire of sorts, Dio is sure falling down in being a good one compared to others ones I encountered and characters seem way more blocky than usual which is disappointing. JoJo himself was kind of disappointing too
. Someone said not to watch the preview, so I didnt.
The section of the ED used for the ending moment of the episode is my favorite, like the final twenty or so seconds of it.

is he trying to kill himself, I mean consistently going right in harms way, being frozen, and really only winning because of some small fluke and technicality, no way that what he did got rid of Dio for good, especially after what we saw in the previous episode...the laser from dio was amazing though

All I know is that we already do the "home market release" exception for films due to obvious geographic restrictions. For instance, Hells Angels will be eligible this year even though it was originally screened in 2008 because it finally got a home release this year.
Series that air in two different calendar years are definitely the more difficult issue to consider. I'm personally okay with it (although ultimately, my vote would be for eligibility being based on the calendar year in which a series ends rather than begins), but I guess that the main concerns are that no one wants to risk one show winning two AotYs or that no one wants the endless shounens siphoning votes every year off of smaller shows that deserve more visibility. Of course, there can be rules implemented to prevent these scenarios from happening, but that's the issue as I understand it.
It gets much better, seriously. I like you already for hating Nia.

Hard to rank it considering it was in season of really good anime like Arcana Famiglia, Kurokos Basetball, and Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
next thing you are gonna tell me is that the guitars in FLCL are penises
Weren't you the sole vote for all ten anime on your top ten list last year? That's kind of an impressive feat.

Yeah, it seems silly. Either Fate/Zero shouldn't count because it was a 2011 show, or Chihayafuru should because it continued airing in 2012. I would be fine with either one, but having one count and one not is kind of silly.
