What was the best anime released in 2002?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10442696
Naruto
>>142656669
Seems like it was a pretty good year,I'm probably going with Full metal panic though onegai teacher was close behind it for me though.
SaiKano
Nice year.
Shame I couldn't vote for Haibane too but I know it'll get plenty of love.
Naruto
Gundam SeeD.
It was officially and objectively Azumanga Daioh, the anime responsible for inventing the officially and objectively best genre, CGDCT SoL.
>Azumanga beating Naruto
Moeshiteaters win again
>>142657171
source?
naruto, obviously.
especially considering it was the first and best season
>>142657670
It's Abenobashi, or do you mean the artist?
>>142658330
>2003
I wish /v/ would leave.
>>142656669
s a t a a n d a g i
>>142658447
I wish OP used art from the actual show, not its remake
>>142658447
/v/ won every year
>>142658658
jesus christ they picked FMA over kino no tabi and they have naruto over azumanga now
they need to literally kill themselves
>>142658658
I wouldn't call Mushishi /v/ tier.
>>142658330
First past the post voting is fucking retarded. There should be a second vote cutting anyone that isn't top 5. Top 3 ignores over 60% of the votes in almost every one.
>>142656669
Witch Hunter Robin and Tokyo Mew Mew.
>>142658583
Naruto is winning now only due to troll votes. It'll wear out over time.
>>142656669
I went with GITS:SAC the 1ST GIG
>>142657592
2002 - Haibane Renmei
2003 - Kino no Tabi
2004 - GitS, I love Paranoia Agent but it's only worth watching if you care about Kon's directing.
2005 - Mushishi
2006 - Ouran, Haruhi (Suzumiya) only good because of the movie, the TV series was middlingly generic like Clannad
2007 - Gurren Lagann, Nodame Cantabile was my personal favorite, but you can't ignore Gainax's best
2008 - Spice and Wolf
2009 - Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, not only the best anime that year, but the best threads on /a/. Everything's going to be daijoubu.
2010 - Sora no Woto
Anything else is too recent for people to even moderately agree with. Give it a few years. Hyouka and Madoka a shit though.
>>142659890
>putting Gurren Lagann over Lucky Star, ever
>>142659980
Lucky Star is fucking garbage you stupid idiot.
>>142660018
It is, but it's still better than TTGL.
>>142660063
lol lets eat pocky
no you don't eat like that
you eat like this
>>142660131

>>142659890
Look at this shit taste.
>>142660164
I don't like either of them at all, but TTGL is still light years better than Lucky Star.
Both of them are nowhere near the best of 2007.
>>142656669
>Naruto in third
This is why no one should take any of these polls seriously.
>>142660280
Because it actually was the best anime of 2002. It got countless people in anime and changed people's life. Also the begin was actually fucking good.
>>142660280
Fuck you, Naruto first season was goat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DM0jNpCmJ4
>>142660350
>>142660385
Are you the same fucks who voted for InuYasha?
>>142660416
I literally stated a fact. If it wasn't for Naruto anime wouldn't even be popular in the west.
>>142660131
>>142660164
I like both. But TTGL is trillions of times more entertaining and memorable than Lucky Star. This is coming from someone who made his little sister cosplay as Konata and then humped her butt.
THRUST VECTORING OWNS THE SKY
>>142660456
This is either a troll or someone who was born in like 2000.
What a nice year, so many memories. 2012 is the year I started regularly watching animu.

If you don't vote Renmei or Azumanga you're wrong. Easily the two best of the year. Coincidentally the two greatest anime ever.
>>142659890
>2010 - Sora no Woto
0/10
That anime was the epitome of garbage.
>>142661332
And what would a wizened anime connoisseur such as yourself suggest replace SnW for best anime of 2010?
>all those troll votes for Naruto
>Princess Tutu not even close to winning
Fuck you guys
>>142661271
>azumanga is one of the greatest ever
Sure, if you're an idiot.
The Anime was terrible.
>>142661555
I know the manga is a lot better. But I feel so strongly personally nostalgic for the show, and it isn't that unfunny.
>>142661435
theres proabbly at least 5 better ones, SNW was pretty dull
>Juuni Kokuki
>this low
>>142661435
Sora no Woto was absolute fucking shite, I feel like people overrate just for its OP.
I can easily name a ton of better shows from 2010
Angel Beats
Baka to Test
Hidamari Sketch
The world god only knows
Bakuman
Angel Beats
Kaichou wa maid sama
Rainbow
Tatami Galaxy
Working!!
Katanagatari
Durarara!!
See that was easy
>>142661435
Not that guy but, Tatami Galaxy obviously. Then series like House of Five Leaves, Katanagatari, Durarara. Though nearly anything is better than the glorified moeblob trash that is SnW. Only good thing about it is the OP, but even that gives me flashbacks to the trauma I suffered listening to their squeaky vapid voices.
>>142656669
who the christ is voting for naruto
Sora no Woto is a better anime than Tatami Galaxy, which is pretentious.
>>142661787
>that gives me flashbacks to the trauma I suffered listening to their squeaky vapid voices
Can you explain I'm curious
>>142661754
>>142661787
this
SNW is pretty much WW2 K-ON
>>142661867
Nothing to explain, I just hated their voices and the OP reminds me of listening to them since they occured sequentially
>>142661788
>early naruto
>bad
nice meme
>>142660456
Don't let robotech fags hear you anon.
>>142661929
I bet you think that HxH is the best manga ever.
>>142661881
And K-On is easily better than every show those guys listed, so they're clearly wrong.
>>142662049
>And K-On is easily better than every show those guys listed
No, you're just really stupid.
>>142661271
Both were borefest.
Abefags glorified haibane too much.
>>142657592
So, """"boring"""", slow paced, dialogue driven animus = best animus?
It's uncanny.
>>142662049
K-On is better than SnW at least
>>142658330
>nobody at all voted for 2000 poll
>Ippo a second to FLCL
I'm okay with this.
>>142659980
Newfags just can't keep up with the top tier bantz in Lucky Star.
I bet they haven't even watched past episode 4
I voted for Princess Tutu but wanted to thank that one anon who choose Chobits. It's nice to know someone still likes it. Newfags don't appreciate this show anymore because it is "too cliched" for them not realizing that most of these cliches came from Chobits.
Let me be with you
https://youtu.be/nXNJ-6qpU6c
How the FUCK is Princess Tutu so low?
>>142662395
Lucky star aged badly because it's references were up to date.
>>142662575
And how is FMP! is so high?
It's not Fumofu.
>>142662305
Yes. /a/ prefers dialogue and character driven anime to LOL FIGHTAN MUH YOUNG DESTRUDO because there is a minimum age of 18 on /a/.
>>142662575
I'm horrified, the only possible explanation is that not many anons have seen it. The year has fair competition but it's still too low.
>>142660164
TTGL was a story about the strength of human's spirit. It's still gives away lots of hype and inspiration.
Lucky star gives nothing except outdated references only a few people still would get.
>>142662282
It's literally karamazov in a smaller form factor. Sorry you can't appreciate magnificence
Sora no Woto is Haibane Renmei done right.
>>142662808
Lucky Star is the pinnacle of manzai comedy. Every character has multiple layers of depth and feel more like actual people, as opposed to the flawless Gary Stu and static, completely forgettable side cast of TTGL.
Lucky Star is simply better written, and better directed. Objectively, of course. TTGL has pretty explosions to keep the kids occupied, us intellectuals are more than satisfied with the character study that is Lucky Star.
>>142662986
Sora no Wota was a horrible disappointment because it seemed like it could be similar to Haibane, but substituted emotional scenes with yuribait, good character design with k-on knockoffs, and the mysterious atmosphere with cute girls getting cutely scared in a 'haunted house' to manipulate otaku hearts.
>>142662986
>this is what idiots believe
>>142663973
Kill yourself.
Only 3 votes for The Cat Returns? WAT
Don't let Naruto to win, please
>>142664754
It wasn't a good film.

>>142665376
Tripfag idiot.
>>142658330
>1998
>2000
>2001
>2003
I'd bet you anything if you made this poll 3 years ago the results would be real different. I want /v/ to leave
>>142656669
GITS hands down.
I've always had the impression that 00-05 was an awkward shitty transition period from cel to digital didn't had much iconic titles to stand out. Turns out 2002 was actually pretty impressive, superior to most recent years to say the least.
Abenobashi, FMP, Tutu, Twelve Kingdom, Haibane Renmei, GITS, Rahx, WHR.
Having lists like these put things in perspective.
>>142665905
Fuck off
>>142665905
I, too, want /v/ to leave, but Ippo is SHIT.
>>142667986
You've only watched 2010's seasons and it doesn't count.
Full Moon wo Sagashite for TV and Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called! The Battle of the Warring States for film. Bums me out that the latter didn't make it onto the poll.
GitS
>>142662575
Because it's a meme anime that isn't popular on /a/, in Japan, or anywhere else
>>142670569
>its a meme anime
>>>/v/
Princess Tutu
Ojamajo Doremi Dokkaan > all
>>142670569
You realise that a meme is, by definition, a popular idea? Of course someone who doesn't like Princess Tutu would be this dumb.
>>142672735
>>142672735
>>142672735
>>142672735
>>142672735
Not Azumanga Daioh.
Naruto
>>142673217
Kill yourself
Anyone who says anything other than Azumanga Daioh doesn't appreciate anime as a whole and needs to kill themselves. Or worse, get off this board.
I can't believe so many /a/nons haven't seen princess tutu.
>>142674739
Fuck off tripfag moron. Your view is utterly worthless.
.hack
good anime, disappointing ending imo
>0 votes
Trust new /a/ to not know the best anime of 2002.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD3dtfJ4Vtw
Have this many anons simply not seen Haibane Renmei? I can understand anons voting for GitS:SAC, and Azumanga Daioh has a reputation for being at the forefront of CGDCT (even if its jokes are awkwardly paced), but there are lots of anons voting for worthless crap like Naruto and Full Metal Panic too.
Are some people just picking the first title they recognise?
>>142675459
Why is Full Metal Panic worthless?
How is Princess Tutu behind Naruto and that behind in general? What is happening to /a/?
>>142675497
The whole running gag of FMP is that the MC is completely oblivious to the fact that his classmate is in love with him. Aside from that it's a story that makes use of every worn out trope and plot device imaginable. MC is a Gary Stu who inexplicably has military training and is a mecha pilot, half of the plot takes place at a high school, main girl is kidnapped etc etc. It's a cut-paste wish fulfilment shounen mecha romance plot.
It's not an awful series though! I'll go so far as to say that it's perfectly watchable and has its moments, but nothing about it is particularly substantial or noteworthy, and it doesn't even begin to approach the thematic depth and level of character development present in Haibane Renmei.
>>142675643
ikr
>>142675643
The real question is how is Naruto doing so well? Jesus christ.
>>142675772

>>142675459
>>142675805
This. Welcome to the bloated tumor that is summertime /a/. Rakka is sad.
>>142656669
Lots of good shit in there, it's really hard to pick between some of these. In the end I put my vote to Princess Tutu.
ahiru best gril
>>142675459
Look, Haibane Renmei was an awesome show, but I just preferred Tutu.
>GITS winning
You guys are so boring.
>1st season naruto not winning
into hell this survey goes.
fuck, I can't choose between Azumanga and Haibane Renmei. Both are great shows. Rest is shit.
>>142677141
Objectively better than Azumanga Daioh
>>142676496
I don't think that anon has seen Princess Tutu, it doesn't make sense to get on anons' backs about their taste without mentioning it.
>>142677484
There are several things on that list that are better than Azumanga Daioh. But GitS over Haibane or Tutu?
Good to see Gundam Seed getting such a low amount of votes. That anime was garbage, and only memers try to herald it.
>>142677141
> A prime cyberpunk thriller unequaled in the history of television (including live western)
> boring
> The most overrated and bland comedy of the year that helped initiating the most boring genre to exist in anime that is moe SOL
> not boring
>>142656669
>12 Kingdoms
>GitS
>Tutu
>Abenoboshi
It was a tough choice but I had to give it to Tutu in the end.
Witch Hunter Robin is greatly under appreciated though and should get more love these days.
>>142678077
Kill yourself.
>>142678077
I didn't even say what my pick is, faggot. I just think that people who chose a thriller that is well done but without any emotions have very bland taste.
>>142660018
are you lost, friend?
>>>/v/
Azumanga, no question. Abenobashi, Tutu and Twelve Kingdoms are respectable too, but we should set out priorities straight.
GitS can fuck off with its unneeded spinoff that only made the franchise go lower and lower.
Looking at the old polls, why wasn't Slayers Next even in the 1996 one? Can't be some "no sequels" rule since it would throw out a bunch of other shit too.
>>142675375
wtf Princess Tutu has one of the best endings I've ever seen
>>142680950
Sure, if you have shit taste.
Princess Tutu's ending was terribad.
>>142681231
> terribad.
>>142677910
>literally us
>>142656669
>only 9 votes for Juuni Kokki
That's cool and imma let you all finish, but Twelve Kingdoms was one of the greatest anime OF ALL TIME
>>142662575
my thought exactly, was a good year though, Gits SAC for example, even though those are great I don't see how anybody could vote for something other than Tutu
>>142681523
was quite OK, I rewatched it at the beginning of the year and doesn't hold up that well, quite boring/repetitive (specially the second part)
![Metropolis_(2001)_[720p,BluRay,x264,DTS]_-_THORA.mkv_snapshot_00.26.30_[2016.06.10_08.41.44].png](https://i.imgur.com/dgXR4UO.png "Metropolis_(2001)_[720p,BluRay,x264,DTS]_-_THORA.mkv_snapshot_00.26.30_[2016.06.10_08.41.44].png")
Metropolis
>>142656669
All these plebs not voting for Juuni Kokuki.
>>142681640
Honestly 2002 has an amazing lineup overall, but I've rewatched 12 kingdoms a few times over the years and its still in my top 5 even with the weak Taiki arc.
2002 might actually be my favorite year of anime looking back over that list.
>>142681523
>one of the greatest anime OF ALL TIME
The only thing that stands out is the setting, plus it ends incomplete. The amount of votes just reflects the fact that it's an unremarkable show.
2002 is a very solid year, the clear standouts being SAC, Tutu and Haibane. The year even has the best tv anime about idols.
>>142659081
>>142658330
Why is 1997 still missing?
>>142681934
>popularity = quality
You just went ultrapleb turbonerd
>>142682135
He's right though, JK was really nice, but with this incomplete ending, cannot be of all time, let alone anime of the year
>>142656669
Obvs
>>142682422
The thing that comes after "let alone" should be the least likely of the two. Lots of people struggle with the construction of sentences involving "let alone", "never mind", "not to mention", "much less" and the like, but I'm here to ensure you never do again.
>>142681776
2001
>>142682735
> not english
Stop hating, cancer
>>142682135
Retaining popularity for decades is totally different then then being new and popular. With the passage of time the merits of a show become apparent. Tutu, Haibane and SAC are remembered for being well written, Naruto is remembered for being shit and nothing was remarkable enough about JK so people would even care to remember it.
I voted for Princess Tutu since it is one of my favourite animes, also the ending fits the themes of the show so shut up, Ahiru accepted who she truly was, Rue was best girl, get over it

Naruto and Azumanga are both pretty ass, they belong together far away from the top. I have not watched the anime but if Kino's quality follows the LN's then it can't be very good either.

I'm sure the Naruto votes are trolls. GiTS is just a safe choice and a popular series, I'd assume a lot more people have seen it than Tutu.
>>142703268
How?
Are you sure you understand what I'm saying?
>>142703294

Gaybackers is shit though, before being fojoshit.

Good. The anime was trash.

Sorry you like shitty anime adaptations.

Fuck you /a/

Gravion is garbage dude. 3/10 anime.
>>142720309
If you have shit taste, you'd have that opinion
Gravion's great because it has really cool Super Robot action, and great characters (the best of which is of course, based Sandman)
Gravion is easily a 9/10
But I guess pretentious assholes like /a/ who need "deep" stories and all that bullshit won't be able to appreciate the greatness of a simple and really fun Super Robot show
Sometimes a show doesn't need to make you question the meaning of life to be good
>>142720904
All super robot show have been made irrelevant in 2007 with gurren lagann.

t, Gurrentard
TTGL was great, but that doesn't make that cheap Getter ripoff the best SR show ever
Seriously, I love TTGL. But some of it's fans (like you) are really cancerous

>t,
Fuck off cancer.
