11 days left, who gets AOTY 2014?
>>118597888
That's a surprisingly decent list. I'd change a few things but well done to whoever made it.

This
Mushishi was definity AOTY but QUALITYfags will dickride ping pong like no tomorrow, these are the same guys that pushed really damn hard to try making Aku no Hana AOTY even though it was disgusting rotoscoped crap.
Was there anything special about Ping Pong besides the unique art style?
>>118597888
Given the other shit on your list? Ping pong.
In reality? Cross Ange.
>>118599689
2012 is Space Battleship Yamato 2199.

Ping Pong, no contest.

Also, I dropped Mushishi S2 after ep 1. Too DARK AS MY SOUL.
>>118599883
I didn't watch that. I just glanced at the pic, and thought it was the chick from Lupin. Oh well.
>>118599898
Theres is a season 2 of Mushishi airing right now you mongoloid.
>>118599921
You really should... It was pretty damn good.
ping pong because cross ange is not finished yet.
I thought non non was last years with Kyousougiga as runner up.
Or was that only for fall season?
Yeah, it was probably only for fall.
Yuuki Yuuna for me
I know it's still not finished, but after everything that happened, I'd even be fine with a shitty reset ending. Never thought I'd ever say that in my life.
>>118599820
Brilliant cinematography, god-tier OST, compelling characters and excellent development.

FTFY
That's how it is and you know it. Polls might not be the best, but it's better than relying on posts on the board. Also, good luck finding 1200 working proxies. Proxyfagging is negligible, and with a little work you can see a peak in votes, so you can discard them. Either way, it's negligible.
>>118600253

>>118600531
What's the matter? Hunter X Hunter is too popular therefore can't be AOTY? The hipstershits who infest these threads are embarassing.

>>118601115
Depends on which 3 you watched. Aria is really the only worthwhile show on that chart.
>>118600199
I don't want Yuuki Yuuna to be disgraced by being in this joke image.
>>118601058
The man quoted believes a show for 10 year olds was the peak of anime this year so he can rightfully be assumed to have the mental capacity of a child.
case closed
>>118600580
No, Ping Pong is just honestly really popular with the artsy/3d5u crowd. And it deserves it, it's a really well put together show.
>>118600977
Holy shit, you do realize most of the anime in my above list are children shows like Doremi, Erin, Kaguya, Aria (by that definition anyway). You act as if anime aimed at adults have inherently better writing or are even more mature in a non-superficial sense.
>>118601202
The only inaccuracy in that image is Sabagebu. Yama no Susume should be the summer winner.
>>118601182
And GitS
>>118601275
The only other contenders are Dandy and YYY. I haven't finished either, so I don't know where the "truth" lies.
>>118600656
>Hipsters wont flock to YuriKuma because it is too moe and homo for them.
I dunno, Ikuhara has a large portion of that taste group on lock between Utena and Penguindrum.

There wasn't a single show this year that I had more investment in.
>>118601366
Don't worry, I'll be holding this year's poll on New Year's Eve (just like last year) so all the normies will be too busy partying while I rig the shit out of my own poll.

SamFlam is in the 2013 bracket not the 2014 bracket.

If Ping-Pong wins, would that make Yuasa the best living anime director?
>>118597888
Who the fuck are you and can you stop posting your shitty as list
>>118601648
He currently is.
I've been waiting for his protegee, EunYoung, to direct her own anime for a while now though.
>>118601648
>Implying he hasn't been such since Yojouhan
No one has topped that shit since
>>118601684
Is that the guy who directed the plant episode on Space Dandy? Because that one was visually stellar.
>>118601659
No, I've been doing this for 4 years and refining it, not gonna stop now
>>118601687
>No one has topped that shit since
>>118601648
Pretty much.Apart from Shinbo of course.
>>118601712
yes, and?
>>118601648
He's certainly one of the contenders for the throne, probably even has a stronger claim than Oshii, Anno, or Ikuhara.
>>118601732
For me Satoshi Kon is on the top, no one ever can take that position.
Ping Pong is the obvious choice. Out of all the absolute garbage shit that aired this year, it was the least worst.
>>118601732
>>118601753
Oshii is the correct answer.
>>118601705
>guy
But I said she.
And yes, she directed/storyboarded/scripted that episode. Aymeric Kevin was in charge of the art direction.
>>118601648
>Kemonozume
That's a no, it was below average.
>>118601753

>>118601182
You forgot Planetes.
>>118601753
>>118601732
>>118601772
I honestly think that Satoshi deserves to be up there among the best, it's a shame he died so early.
>Hacks like Miyazaki live until their 70s while talents like Satoshi Kon die early
The good DO die young.
>>118601732
Takahata and Ikuhara are the only contenders after Yuasa but Penguindrum is such a step down compared to Utena. Takahata's Kaguya-hime is just as well directed as Tatami but it's his only work in such a long time.
>>118601809
>Hacks like Miyazaki
>hack
You should try using that word properly.
>>118601809
He was great, I agree.
>>118601809
I have my problems with Miyazaki, but it's really not fair to not acknowledge him as a good director.
>>118601929
You sicken me.
>>118601809
>>Hacks like Miyazaki
I assume you believe everything you read on /a/, including quotes like "anime was a mistake"?
>>118601026
God bless
>>118601732
>>118601820
Could Yamamoto be a contender? She's very talented and has done a lot of cool stuff, mostly OPs and EDs
She also directed Michiko to Hatchin and Mine Fujiko to iu Onna, which are pretty hit or miss story-wise for most people, but you can't deny that they're pretty interesting direction-wise (especially Fujiko).
>>118601026
Why does it even require rigging? /a/ is full of moe-pigs even with a fair poll.
If they don't fuck up the ending, Yuuki Yuuna.
Otherwise Nozaki-kun.
>>118601971
I only really enjoyed Mikakunin and Kokkuri-san that much. Ald.Noah Zero was quite honestly bad, but this year has hardly been overflowing with good shows.
>>118601929
shit taste
>>118602192
She doesn't have enough full projects under her belt, but I could see her being one of the greats later in her career if she gets more series director roles or does some films.
Mine Fujiko to iu Onna was really sabotaged by the writing I felt, it had a lot going for it otherwise.
>>118602298
I know, I know. This is just the best of what I watched though, I have a feeling Barakamon might have been better than Ald.Noah, but I haven't watched it.
>>118602423
This has to be bait
>>118601732
Ikuhara is criminally underrated it makes me cry.
>>118597888
Kaiba is such a piece of shit show, fuck that chart
>>118601709
At least i know now it's just one hipster who has shitty ass taste and not many.
Look, some of the shows you've chosen are actually good, but you've also left out several that are way, way better.
You should just call this thread "help me decide what my favorite anime is this year"
>>118602445
It isn't though, I just didn't watch a lot of ongoing shit this year. Psycho Pass 2 wasn't as good as I hoped either. What were your favorites of this year then?

I hope you're right, it's a good show. Nearly two decades of anime has made me skeptical of the ability of the anime industry to satisfyingly conclude shows.

Haruhi. Because whoever made OPs list fucked up hard.
Just dropping in to say.
2008 should be Casshern sins.
>>118603450
2012
>>118603524
Well, then it's not that hard really.
>>118597888
>2013
Why was Benten so based?
>>118603414
>>118603285
>can't into capping.
Ping Pong or Bahamut
>>118603552
Same case with 2014.
>>118603601
>Bahamut
The only truly great thing about it is the OP.

This except aldnoah
>>118603612
Fair enough.
>>118600763
2chan has shit taste
>>118603680
How so?
Contrary to hipster opinions, shit sekai yuri is not a good show in the least.
God dammit /a/ make up your mind already.
>>118603636
>Space Dandy
It was a constant ratings dropper at Toonami for being overhyped (check /co/'s archive for proof) and had meager sales in Japan
My favourite this year was Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. If Samurai Flamenco counted as 2014 I'd choose that instead.

>sales are what decide if a show is good or no
Infinite stratos is one of the best shows ever made
>>118603636
>10/10 ost
If SD had 10/10 OST Wixoss, 37 or yuyuyu have 50/10 OST
>>118603751
Amagi Brilliant Park hasn't been nominated yet, what gives?
>>118603592
>>118603371
It's a screencap you retards.
>>118603801
It's shit.

It's just that bad

fuck off back to /v/
>>118599820
The characters were 11/10
>>118601006
They are shit actually.
>>118603801
I'm a big fan, but it is shit.
>>118597888
>>118603740
No need to thank me.
>>118603832
m8, it was literally in a sweet spot on Toonami (between Bleach and Naruto, iirc) and people chose to stop watching altogether
That confirms what I think of the show: It's overrated as fuck because someone from cowboy bebop got their name on it.
>>118600977
The Little Prince was aimed for kids.

Barakamon wins AOTY, comfiest anime of the year and best loli.
Denki-gai wins best waifus, deal w/it nerds.
>>118603933
You're right there is no need to thank you, because you are wrong. Best anime this year is Pong Ping, people are saying it isn't because they want to be edgy and different.
>>118604060
/a/ is easily trolled
>>118604039
Somebody remembered!
I'm going to make a thread about it tomorrow.

>people are edgy because they don't agree with me
here's your reply
>>118603552
2012 was an above average year with several very good shows, one of wish was SSY.
Why make these threads when we already know the truth?
>>118604094
It only proves that pingpong has a vocal minority and they got trolled to post 300+ times to defend pingpong.
Why are yuasafags so pathetic?
