Namtab posted:- The requirement for a 3 ep test minimum kept the thread focused on things that people had actually watched. I'd say asking for more episodes minimum would risk losing votes due to the sunk cost fallacy, my reasoning against less is explained in the OP. How about adding a wildcard vote or something? I think it'd be interesting to hear which series was the most avoided (i.e. requiring 0 episodes viewed) because of its bad reputation/perception/infamy.

I like this idea (tallied separately, of course). ADTRW managed to scare me away from Mahouka, but I would have loved to be able to vote for it.

Yeah make it a separate category like "most infamous anime of the year" That would definitely be a discussion generator.

I don't really care about Bleach, but it seems like a shame it got gypped out of having the last part animated due to being replaced by Springtime of Youth, though that was a very, very good show and I'm disappointed it's over.

The last arc will probably get animated once it's actually done, so they can do it without any filler.

But the filler is the only part of bleach that is not poo poo. Not good. Just not poo poo.

Bleach supposedly is on its last arc, but the author has threatened it will be longer than any previous arc which would mean we still have a few more years of Bleach yet.

I like the idea that the author of a manga "threatens" to write longer chapters.

Both Tetsuo movies (I've never seen the third one but I've heard it's not good) are loving great if you're a fan of Cronneberg-esque bodyhorror.

Hell yeah, Tetsuo is like the perfect student film version of a Cronenberg and Lynch joint production.

SSNeoman posted:Yeah make it a separate category like "most infamous anime of the year" Having a general bad anime/opinions topic for discussions would be nice, in theory. But people would get mad and it'd get closed really quick. As for my votes I try to avoid bad anime if I can help it so all I can throw my hat in for is Kill la Kill. Despite the costumes I didn't actually hate the first ten or eleven episodes, and if they'd left it at that arc I'd probably have left the series with an "okay" and maybe recommended it to the same kind of people who absolutely love Gurren Lagann. But then the rest of the series happened and what little plot there was fell apart, every character gimmick got amplified to an even more obnoxious degree and one of the most obnoxious characters I've ever seen in a cartoon shows up and doesn't go away until the ending. Oh and it got really weird when that lady molested her daughter. I could have lived without that.

On the other hand the motorbike buttshot poses will triple because this Banpresto we're talking about. They made an RPG which runs on nothing but breast jokes. And then they made a sequel to that.

Go look up Endless Frontier (add EXCEED if you're looking for the sequel), then, assuming you got a DS to work with. I would've also said Project X Zone, but unfortunately that game was a total slog, so....

Yeah, Nui is probably the first cartoon character in memory to make me legit mad. Just everything about her, from the out of place animation to the voice and plots around her annoyed me.

The worst anime this year that I actually watched was probably Sabagebu. It wasn't garbage so much as really dull 80% of the time, with a couple funny jokes per episode. Other people here seem to really like it, but it's probably the only show I watched more than 2 episodes of before dropping (around episode 7ish maybe?) Unfortunately I can't be bothered to sit through 20 minutes just for one or two good laughs

I think it would annoy me more if a character in anime had a normal voice, because that would be weird.
