DEADLINE: 20/12/2015 - 00:00am EST
Having standards is bad. If you don't watch every single anime that is releasing, you don't actually like anime and don't belong here.
>>134811338
>I need to eat tons of shit to know when something does't tastes like shit
what
Jeez, guys, it's only anime. Take it easy and watch whatever you want.
If I can give you an adivce, don't make back to back threads for the rest of the year.
Making 2 or 3 threads per week is enough I'm sure.
We don't need non-stop AOTY shitposting threads.
>OP will never finish counting the votes
>>134811504
This. Especially since at the moment, we're just having people arguing back and forth about muh tastes, muh standards and muh definition on being a TRUE fan.

>/a/ Anime of the Year Poll
>/a/
>when this board is infested with /v/ thanks to db and OPM
No.
I just realize that 2015 was somewhat a let down. I usually have at least 3 - 5 anime with 8/10 each year but not this time even though I watched as many as always.
>>134811262
Houkago no Pleiades
Kekkai Sensen
NNB:R
Death Parade
Hibike! Euphonium
>>134811437
That's a good mind-set, now get the fuck out before you get tainted.
>>134811262
What's the point of using EST when you're using the fucked up date format?
>>134811938
I am surprised more people chose Houkago. It was my second choice.
>>134811938
>>134812069
For me it was
Houkago no Pleiades
Kyoukai no Rinne
Rokka no Yuusha
Akagami no Shirayukihime
I'm actually having a hard time choosing my fifth though.
Don't forget to vote for Etotama!And buy all the merchandise ;_;
>>134812069I want to believe that all the mug posting helped to spread the love
>>134812361
Oh yeah, that was pretty good.
Maybe I'll put it on the virtue of Mo-tan and the excellent CGI alone.
Nya was annoying though.
>>134811262
How many people have responded?
Keit-ai.
Owari no Seraph is GOAT
Don't bully, please.
>>134812507

>>134812626
I'm gonna bully.
>>134812639
So we can expect the results to be counted by this time next year?
>Yes. Any anime that aired at any time in 2015 is eligible for votes.
What's the point?
>>134813211
What do you mean?
>>134813363
I could vote for Shirobako as AOTY 2015 when it's a 2014 show.
>>134811262
Stop making back to back threads, you turbofaggot.
Why are there so many threads of this shitty poll? Why is the vote period so long? Did a redditor make this garbage?
>>134813363
Not him, but what do you think seasons are? A show that airs one year shouldn't be eligible for a vote the following year(in the case of another poll) just because it spans more than one season. That should be common sense.
>>134813691
>Did a redditor make this garbage?
Probably, he has no idea about what he's doing. He wants to count all the votes manually.
>>134813691
Because OP is a retarded tripfag getting attention for the first time in his life.
He'll probably quit five minutes into counting the votes because he doesn't know how to deal with people typing in a dozen different variations of a show's name.
>>134813772
>>134813828
Is that not how the vote for your favorite show of all time poll was done?
Should someone make a new poll that's multiple choice?

Didn't even shed a tear.
Characters were shit.
Nice music though.
>>134813984
>Shitgatsu
Bad series and not even 2015.
>>134813927
I already did, but the season's not over yet.
>>134813927
No, because some show won't be on the list. Happens every time.
Next time just ask people to use the title on MAL or something for consistency.
Anyway, I've asked OP to send me the answers that are already in so that I could start working on a script to filter everything but apparently he doesn't want to send it.

I'm surprised people still defend this melodramatic generic garbage. The main bitch pretty much abuses MC. I don't get the appeal of these stupid abusive tsundere sluts, she deserved to die.

I'd lurk till I could predict every single post that would be made in this shithole, and still not conform. So fuck off with your lurk shit.

Fuck anime. You wryyyyyead the manga. Some people actually watch more anime than they read.
>>134814931
>The second biggest problem with The Phantom Menace is the whole story and the way it was told. It's almost mind-boggling how complex the awfulness is. From the very start of this movie I could tell something was really wrong. Just by the way it started. It opens with some boring pilot asking for permission to land on a ship that looks like a half-eaten doughnut with a doughnut whole in the middle? What the fuck is that? Then two cloaked figures walk into a room at a completely flat angle, they sit down in a conference room, drink tea, and wait to talk about a trade dispute with something that looks like my ex-wife. While they eventually do get to the ball-numbing, mindless action that the fanboys crave, I found myself utterly bored already.
>Compare this fecal matter to the opening of the original Star Wars. (A few seconds of Star Wars' opening space battle sequence plays.) You see, a guy named William Shakesman once said, "Brevity is the soul of wit." This just means "Don't waste my time." You keep it nice and simple. (George Lucas is seen analyzing a sculpture of an alien/monster/weirdo) I said stop wasting my time, stop it! Without saying one word of awkward, boring political dialogue that goes on for ten minutes, we know everything we need to know just by the visuals. (The same battle sequence as before plays. An arrow appears next to the Rebel ship.) Rebels, (arrow next to Empire Star Destroyer) Empire. We get a sense to how small and ill-equipped the rebels are, and how large and powerful the Empire is. The low angle implies dominance, and the length of the Star Destroyer implies the long reach of the Empire. This shot says everything we need to know without saying one word. In fact, this is so genius, I have a feeling George Lucas had nothing to do with it, and probably fought against putting it in the movie.
>>134814825
It's true. Ex Machina is the better sci-fi in recent years.
>>134815199
Oh fuck I forgot about Plastic Memories
Now I have to change my answer again
>>134815174
The original's opening is overrated as fuck
>big ship chases small shit
>this shows the empire is big and powerful and the rebels are weak and ill equipped
The pinnacle of film am I right
>>134815692
Star Wars is completely shit as a whole, it's just that the original trilogy is like 4/10, while the rest is 0.5/10.
I can't really see why someone would like Star Wars beside being the "I'm a cool geek guy, oh my god, look at me, I'm such a nerd".
>>134815779
>the original trilogy is like 4/10, while the rest is 0.5/10
Sounds about right to me
>>134813897
Polls are an anti-thesis to the anonymous imageboard culture. When you post, you let your post speak for itself. With detachment from bias of the poster and the poster's regard for his own person, you can get an honest discourse here where you will get shit backing up any and all claims. Polls throw opinions, supported by their own merit, down the drain and puts everyone on the same level regardless of their knowledge and experience.
Compared to measuring demographics which so far have been limited to personal likes and dislikes, I think polling for a unified opinion would go against what /a/ stands for.
>>134816046
>get shit for not backing
>>134816046
>opening line is chanology we are anonymous bullshit
Oh boy, I can only wonder what the rest of that was about.
>>134816214
You should probably go back to reddit if you don't like it.
>>134816214
>illiterates post on /a/
This would explain a lot.
>>134811262
my list
>>134811666
But that'll happen without these threads. Anime fandom basically needs a full reboot at this point has for years.
>>134811803
Holy fuck you fucking idiots are doing this to yourselves just the same as the other boards, last /v/ related thread I saw got deleted in minutes. Maybe I don't know it's indicative of a fanbase wide problem not just one magic location ruining everything. Sick or this x series made y board infest the good sanctuary of /a/ when it's been like this much longer than this season. Makes no fucking sense.
>>134814386
>Reddit this newfag that
This is fucking beyond a joke, no wonder it's so quite around this fanbase lately everywhere including even /a/ now. Even the shitposting is just the same cycle of boogie man paranoid shit now. Just fight it out to the death already at a convention you idiots.
>>134816380
ugh
>>134816380
>english titles
Consider suicide.
>>134816823
people get elitist over the strangest things
>>134816846
I think you are on the wrong website, newfag.
>>134816511
DB and OPM threads are full of /v/ cancer.
>>134815167
But reading tiny bits of text with pictures is so hard.I agree.
>>134816511
Are you implying that there is no difference between a mangafag and an anime(only)fag? OPM has appeal so it will attract shiteaters. Since there's many of them on /v/ the threads will become cancerous.
>>134817149
not really, both just seem to whine and complain constantly about the stuff they read watch and the other camp and even their own camp, it's really just /a/ that seems to have this whole boogieman culture where some other fandom is constantly trying to shit up their threads as if they're so great otherwise. Fuck I half wish it was true and they'd reveal themselves get permabanned or something and then this borderline meme would die. What is it people expect to happen as a result of all this /v/ and reddit did it commotion anyway though?
>>134817217
>What is it people expect to happen as a result of all this /v/ and reddit did it commotion
That they stop posting like they're from /v/ and reddit? I thought it was obvious.
I am thinking of changing Ore Monogatari!! for Ushio to Tora, but that Ushio can be really annoying.
>>134813691
>That should be common sense.
2ch already changed the rule to count the show's ending year, so all 2014 fall 2 cour show will be in their upcoming 2015 AOTY poll.
>>134814018
>crying because of anime
How old are you lel-ouch?
>>134817266
How does a /v/ or reddit posters post specifically? What makes them different, how does one detect a filthy redditor or /v/ poster? I'd love to hear this one
>>134816046
>puts everyone on the same level regardless of their knowledge and experience
Kind of like an anonymous imageboard does, huh?
Besides, no one takes internet polls as a unified opinion. It's just raw data that some people find interesting and others use as a reason to shitpost about their opinions.
>>134819269
People who hate moe, and only watch shounen. Some people on /a/ do that too, but they're better off in /v/. It's like auto enthusiasts going to /n/, they're just going to get shit on. It's mostly just a thing we say to keep crossboarders and redditors out of /a/.
>>134813691
>>134813772

Samefag.
It's so obvious you're butthurt because you wanted to start the poll, but someone jumped in ahead of you. You snooze you lose.
>>134811803
Cry more faggot, i'd rather have /v/ than tumblr or reddit
If you don't agree your taste is shit (order does not need to be the same).

Kill yourself, you underaged shit.
I don't know what the point of having a poll before the season ends is, but depending on the next few weeks my AOTY will be one of Concrete Revolutio, Houkago no Pleiades or Owarimonogatari

Do people unironically like that? It's bland and at times crosses the line into offensively bad.
Barely watched anything this year
I voted anyway:

>Stardust Crusaders season 2
>One Punch Man
Haven't watched any real standout anime though, those were all just ok.

This year has been pretty dry. But Utaware has been a blast so far.
