Trying really hard to not make a snarky rebuke here.
If Shirobako is better, than Barakmon must have no characters OR plot!
Sorry.
it is not as though the animator expo shorts are without merit. like them or not these are highly stylized pieces, and while accessibility is always going to be a factor we could just as easily point out that certain tv shows went unlicensed, awkwardly translated, weren't on american tv, etc.
i don't see the problem with comparing shorts to feature films. again, there are tv short series with total run times that clock under single episodes of other shows, not taking into account that some of those shows could have dozens of episodes. there is a shared language to storytelling and film that allows us to draw comparisons and weigh the quality of works against one another.
if the groupings need to be explained: shorts, ovas, and movies are titles that typically have greater creative freedom. running a series on television presents its own commercial construct that can be logically isolated. this has the added benefit of providing exposure to movies/shorts/ovas that would potentially get lost among more accessible television shows.
stuff works this way for a reason. it is not a perfect system but it meets the demands of participating voters. try to understand that even the restrictions on when titles are eligible candidates works in a manner that ensures works are at least moderately accessible to a wider audience.
As it should, ~chu.
Finally someone I can agree with.
This smells like some socialist bullshit!

I am Witch Craft Works lone defender and I'm ok with that.
Still behind Log Horizon and Silver Spoon though, which is not what I was expecting.
you really shouldn't be!

Where are people following the live results?

You're right other people should have voted for it but w/e.
Quite frankly it's a much better watch than Log.
I had forgot it came out in 2014. It would of been a honorable mention for me along side Rail Wars.
I wonder if the Shiro stuff turned people off?
I will fight you on that.

The only thing everyone will agree on tonight is that " recently my sister is unusual " is still at 0.

So, I got this on BluRay from GAFfer mechashiva as part of his GAF Secret Santa package to me. I've been wanted to watch it for a while, and well...
HOLY

GOD
I'm fucking blown away. Absolutely gorgeous. There's not one single fucking shot, nay might I say frame, in this movie that looks bad. So cheesy yet so fucking stylish. It just fucking oozes charisma. It's like F-Zero fucked Speed Racer. It knows what it's supposed to be (a high octane joyride with a cartoon-y batch of characters that are just a blast to watch) and it hits it's stride hard, flipping everyone the bird and daring them to animate on this level or get out of the way. Its plot has the depth of cheesy stage flat and can be really meatheaded at times, but that's all it needs to be the glorious laser show that it is. The soundtrack is groovy as fuck but still keeps your blood pumping; it never sacrifices it's cool or its edge or vice versa. And to top it off, the dub cast was just perfectly cast and a preformed.
Just an absolutely amazing ride.

As well it should be.
I can agree that everyone else's favorite anime is shiiiiiiiiit and my tastes are the best.
The list exists for slightly different reasons though.
Exactly!

Seven years hand drawn!
And still a lesser product than the pilot, ~chu.
I wish.

JoJo has over taken KLK!
I recognize good animu, so you're not.

The problem with Redline is that it's not high-octane enough.
Trava? Surely you don't mean Trava.

And KLK is back ahead again....
Ending
God no, the Redline short trailer/pilot/whatever is a better experience than Redline since everything between the Yellow Line and Red Line races is forgettable, ~chu.

My thoughts exactly. My guess is that it was probably overshadowed by WIXOSS as the more watched magical girl show around here.
It's kinda sad actually. I mean, the show wasn't amazing, but it was a fun magical girl show nonetheless.
Yeah, this probably had something to do with it as well.

I would just turn around and suggest that the dilution you see of TV trumping films/OVAs is exactly what is happening with the current "Not-TV" category. By virtue of time investment, accessibility, or whatever, people are going to have more of those shorts than they will have the feature films. You lose information either way.
If we pretend that this list really is meant to be a form of outreach and not community masturbation/self-flagellation, how useful will it be when someone going through and watching everything on the list changes from long form films to 10 minute shorts?

I don't think that discussion was really that widespread, it was mostly from a few people.
But Parasyte isn't terrible.
Ending is total shite.

It's funny how many votes KLK has at the #1 spot over JoJo but they're still so close.
Maybe if those one-and-done people watched the superior action series we wouldn't be in this predicament!
Parasyte is pretty good though
