Support NeoGAF

[Crocodile]

Are we still having this "How do we stop Attack on Titan from winning GAF Anime of the Year?" discussion? I hope you realize (those earnestly involved in the discussion) how "nerdy" it's making you guys seem. If you are so confident in the quality of the programs you liked, as long as it's well known, it has a good shot at placing well. Just let the chips fall where they may. Some of you are acting as if the final results have any real meaning on anything other than what the forum as a whole really liked and maybe a quick shorthand as a recommendation list to other forum members. Do you think if Wolf Children wins that the next shipment of DVDs to Best Buy will have "NeoGaf's Anime of the Year 2013" on the back?

 

[BGBW]

AO? I have no idea what yall are talking.

It's the sound you make when you hear a good zinger.

Do you think if Wolf Children wins that the next shipment of DVDs to Best Buy will have "NeoGaf's Anime of the Year 2013" on the back?

No because it's in the Anime Move of the Year category.

Someone should just put the format up to a vote and let it be decided that way. It's apparent that there isn't going to be a solution that pleases everybody. So let the majority decide.

We're doing a vote for a voting style? This makes no sense to me.

But how should we format the vote to decide the format? Hmmmm?

 

[Jarmel]

We're doing a vote for a voting style? This makes no sense to me.

And continuously having an argument about it does?

 

[Gazoinks]

We'd better vote to figure out how to vote for the vote vote.

 

[kayos90]

And continuously having an argument about it does?

Just use the same voting style we did last year with a minor alteration of dirtbags who vote for only one anime. We don't have to revamp the entire thing. Who cares if X anime wins.

And people aren't agreeing even to that. So put it up to a vote.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Lets vote for the one that isn't jumping through hoops for justification.

 

[Kurita]

Hello new thread
Tonari no Seki-kun and Hoozuki no Reitetsu anime of the season

 

[Dresden]

Fuck all of you, I'm only voting for Attack on Titan because it's the bessssssss

Gonna go rally the Titan OT.

---

Anyways, we're not:

1. having a vote about a vote

2. having a vote about a vote about a vote

 

[kayos90]

Since democracy has broken down, just leave it up to the person who is creating the entire voting thing decide.

 

[Pancakes]

New thread already? Neat.

Non Non Biyori is true AotF.

 

[BGBW]

I said I'll just add a rule like Gaming Side has that one has to post at least one thoughtful comment for one of their votes. That and every odd vote has to end in semi colons and every even vote has to end in colons except for six which has to end in an ampersand.

I tried to do the same for SAO last year and failed. I honestly don't see AoT winning simply because most people don't even care to vote in the thread.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Someone should just put the format up to a vote and let it be decided that way. It's apparent that there isn't going to be a solution that pleases everybody. So let the majority decide.

But what if people vote for the wrong format? Or what if two people vote for one format as their fifth favorite, but then another person votes for it as their favorite, why should that count the same??

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Apologies if these were already posted in the last thread.

But there were some more PV released during Comiket.

In 5 years the GAF AOTY vote will be determined via Communist Parliament.

 

[CorvoSol]

But is it worse than fetuses knowing what sex feels like?

Yes. Earth Maiden Arjuna may be propaganda encouraging children to actively destroy human civilization, but Eureka Seven Astral Ocean is an actual attempt to do it.

Lets vote for the one that isn't jumping through hoops for justification.

Sword Art Online again this year, huh?

 

[Gazoinks]

In 5 years the GAF AOTY vote will be determined via Communist Parliament.

Glory to Arstotzka!

Considering the number of people who don't read the GOTY OP that would be an amusing way of weeding 90% of people out.

 

[kayos90]

In 5 years the GAF AOTY vote will be determined via Communist Parliament.

Just make this a dictatorship and let the person who's doing this thing decide. It is LITERALLY the easiest way to resolve this.

Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta
Director: Toshimasa Suzuki
Animation Production: TMS Entertainment
Opening Date: 1/6
Official Site: http://koiuta.tv/
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmI3TnFHKPo


Apparently this is a prequel to The Princess and the Pilot, a movie nobody watched besides me. It wasn't exactly a good movie, but it might have potential. Too bad all the dogfighting looks to be in ugly CGI.

Why do we always assume things?
Whenever I was searching for information about the princess and pilot manga, I would find some about this. The CGI dogfights and the character design look really bad.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Sword Art Online again this year, huh?

Sure why not.

 

[Basileus777]

No because it's in the Anime Move of the Year category.

Category? We have categories?

 

[kayos90]

Sword Art Online again this year, huh?

SAO wasn't even in the top 10 though lol.

 

[Dresden]

Just make this a dictatorship and let the person who's doing this thing decide. It is LITERALLY the easiest way to resolve this.

That is how it's being handled. Good lord, all this worrying is really silly.

Category? We have categories?

We have ampersands.

 

[CorvoSol]

Sure why not.

Did you never read my glowing review of the series after the final episode? It is a masterpiece.

 

[kayos90]

That is how it's being handled. Good lord, all this worrying is really silly.

Then why are people still talking about this as if it's not decided... makes no sense.

 

[BGBW]

Just make this a dictatorship and let the person who's doing this thing decide. It is LITERALLY the easiest way to resolve this.

I think we should bring this idea forward to this year. K guys as the one in charge of this year's thread I declare AotY 2013 is Attack on Titan.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I think the CG in the Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta trailer looks pretty good, for the most part. There's an actual sense of weight to the planes as they fly, and air resistance is shown as they travel up. The textures are solid too.

 

[Pancakes]

Sword Art Online again this year, huh?

Would be worth it just for meltdowns.

 

[kayos90]

I think we should bring this idea forward to this year. K guys as the one in charge of this year's thread I declare AotY 2013 is Attack on Titan.

Even better. Just skip the voting process. See guys. Now we can decide on what's 2-10. That's one less shit to do on our plate.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

We forgot the Wall of Shame

Disgusting 100+ posters below

I had +200?!?

That is disgraceful.

Some of you need to post more so the thread can end quicker.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Did you never read my glowing review of the series after the final episode? It is a masterpiece.

It's more like

Spoiler

sure put it on there. It's not like it'll win.

 

[Jarmel]

Then why are people still talking about this as if it's not decided... makes no sense.

BGBW was asking for opinions I guess. Seemingly a mistake.

 

[kayos90]

I'll say that meltdowns were had when the last 2 episodes of AO aired. Boy was I pissed.

 

[Kazzy]

I said I'll just add a rule like Gaming Side has that one has to post at least one thoughtful comment for one of their votes.

In all seriousness, this is probably the most reasonable compromise.

I haven't watched enough to devise an extensive list, though I'd be happy to elaborate on what I have seen.

 

[Jarmel]

Even better. Just skip the voting process. See guys. Now we can decide on what's 2-10. That's one less shit to do on our plate.

Oreimo obviously should be #2. The issue has to do with deciding #3-#10.

 

[Hellsing321]

Based on Japanese sales ranked by per-volume average (realize that some of these sales are not complete):

1. Attack on Titan
2. Monogatari SS
3. Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000%
4. Free!
5. Love Live!
6. Infinite Stratos 2
7. Railgun S
8. Oreimo S2
9. Hataraku Maou-sama!
10. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru

Now this is a top 10 I think we can all get behind.

 

[dakkumauji]

I think we should bring this idea forward to this year. K guys as the one in charge of this year's thread I declare AotY 2013 is Attack on Titan.

This isn't rigged enough.

What happened to Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku or Kin-iro Mosaic being AotY?

 

[Mature]

if space dandy sucks who do we kill?

I will commit ritualistic seppuku on behalf of AnimeGAF.

 

[kayos90]

BGBW was asking for opinions I guess. Seemingly a mistake.

A kind and gentle king? lol. Is BGBW Ouma Shu?

 

[BGBW]

Category? We have categories?

Yes, we decided to split the films/OVAs from the TV shows and i) films tend to get lost as not as many people watch them ii) comparing a one off feature with a 13 episode production is not an easy comparison to make iii) other awards split them.

This isn't rigged enough.

What happened to Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku or Kin-iro Mosaic being AotY?

I forgot to mention that I renamed every show released in 2013 to Attack on Titan so everyone wins!

 

[Ice Lightning]

Would vote Non Non Biyori for AotY if I liked Minami-ke: Tadaima slighty less. I wish both of these shows were licensed instead of just one.

 

[Basileus777]

Are there really enough films worthy of recognition to where this would make any sense?

 

[Jarmel]

if space dandy sucks who do we kill?

Duckroll is seemingly on a final strike basis going by the OT.

 

[Theonik]

I say we use a gameshow format.
Have voting power alocated by completing a bunch of silly tasks and the leader of that week also doubling his vote power for that week and the loser losing all his voting power.

 

[Firemind]

SAO wasn't even in the top 10 though lol.

I didn't vote.
My bad.

 

[BGBW]

Are there really enough films worthy of recognition to where this would make any sense?

Wolf Children, Laws of Eternity, Gintama, Kill Me Baby OVA and Little Witch Academia are all valid choices for 2013.
