Strange Quark posted:I think I set up the form to have editable responses, but if that's not possible, you can always submit another vote and tell me to delete the old one. k, please delete the old one if there's two, then new rankings: 1) idolish7 2) Oshibudo  Oshibudo's look at the fans of idols is something one normally only sees in the fringes and backgrounds of some idol shows. I loved seeing it center stage, both in a "hah! it do be like that" sense, and also in a "drat... well, at least I ain't that bad" sense. Add to that cute idols, great visuals, a hefty dose of yuri, glimpses of how chika idols operate, and an all-round positive vibe, and I loving loved it. Someone else seems to have finally started TL'ing the manga, which is good, 'cause I'd have probably had to do it otherwise. 3) nijigasaki 4) eizouken - for all the reasons everyone else has said, I assume 5) priconne apologies for the inconvenience

The poll is now closed! After 85 responses, the top ten standings by total votes are:
The top ten list also happens to be the only anime with at least ten votes total. Not much change from the halfway update. Eizouken has the clear lead in first, while Akudama Drive, Kaguya S2, and Dorohedoro are fairly interchangeable (though Dorohedoro has the advantage in first ranked votes among them) before the sharp drop off in votes for fifth place and below.

It's consistently stylish and well produced the whole way though, the story was clearly written from start to finish, rather than adhoc nonsense, the pacing is good. The themes are basic but consistent. It may not be particularly groundbreaking or ambitious, but it doesn't have anything wrong with it. And geez it's really nice to get a story that ends entirely and completely instead of hoping for another season or expecting me to go read the manga

I wanted a Crank anime, it gave me a Crank anime. Also small thing but it's nice to get a good anime that's from the perspective of the criminals/terrorists rather than the cops.

Honestly, I'm most surprised by Deca-Dence having such a high listing. Show shot its wad in episode 2, and then turned out to not have anything else particularly interesting. One moment of surprise, then ten episodes painted by numbers, with constant fakeout deaths for Kaburagi to undermine the tension in the last act.

Endorph posted:if you think its 'hilariously edgy and generic' then yeah you kinda didnt get it, lol. its super stylistic and distinct. It was charming, sure. I get that it was going for over the top. I get that it was super stylistic. It just felt empty and soulless with nothing new to say about anything. I will say that the cops are the clear cut villains/losers, so that's good. And while I can't say I've felt particularly burned by series not ending, I can appreciate that Akudama Drive did indeed tell a full story without a cliffhanger ending. Like I said, I liked it, I just didn't think it was anime of the year material and still don't. Glad people enjoyed it tho.

For example, more than just saying "cops are bad", Akudama Drive illustrates how police forces can subvert oversight mechanisms. The way things laws are set up, the Executors can't declare people targets for execution, a key limit on their power. But Boss can just go to the person who does do that and push them into making whatever declarations she likes, because she's more powerful than him. And this--oversight groups being weaker than the groups they're supposed to oversee, and getting pushed around by those groups as a result--is a real problem. Akudama Drive just explored a real problem. There are a hundred places where it does something like that.

I started a few series throughout the year, BNA, Deca-Dence, Great Pretender, Eizouken, that one about racing across the US. But Dorohedoro was the only one that kept my interest and had me watching the whole way through.

It becomes very clear fairly early on that nobody is making it out of this job alive, and how each character chooses to meet their inevitable death does say something I wouldn't say all that early on. The show sets up to it look like it'll just be a straight rollercoaster of cool crime antics, but the moment Brawler falls around the halfway mark the writing is definitely on the wall that nobody is coming out of this show alive. The reason Akudama Drive is such a strong AOTY contender is also that while other shows might do various individual elements better, none of them checked all the boxes simultaneously like Akudama Drive did.

How about a weighted ranking? Votes for #1 equal 5 points, #2 = 4, #3 = 3, #4 = 2, #5 = 1. Unranked votes get 3 points each. A few goons specified their #1 but left their other four unranked, so those will count for 2.5 points, so as not to allow them undue influence over our sacred democratic process. Honorable mentions get nothing! The weighted results are:
2. Dorohedoro (103.5 points) 3. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen | Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2 (97.5 points) 4. Akudama Drive (87.5 points) 5. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 2nd Season | Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2 (41 points) 6. Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. | BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. (39 points) 7. Maoujou de Oyasumi | Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle (36 points) 8. Chihayafuru 3 (33 points) 9. Deca-Dence (32.5 points) 10. Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta... | My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (26 points) 11. Haikyuu!! To the Top (24 points) 12t. Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen 2nd Season | Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 2 (23 points) 12t. Mairimashita! Iruma-kun | Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (23 points) 14. Munou na Nana | Talentless Nana (21 points) 15t. Great Pretender (19 points) 15t. Kakushigoto (TV) (19 points) 17. Ishuzoku Reviewers | Interspecies Reviewers (18 points) 18. Adachi to Shimamura | Adachi and Shimamura (17 points) 19t. Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season | My Hero Academia 4 (16 points) 19t. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T | A Certain Scientific Railgun T (16 points) Weighted ranking gives us the same top ten anime as the unweighted ranking, with a few changes in order. Akudama drops two spots and Dorohedoro rises two, exchanging second and fourth; Sleepy Princess and Chihayafuru both rise one to seventh and eight, respectively, at the expense of Deca-Dence, which drops two to ninth. The top four remain high above the rest, with an undisputed champion. I should watch Eizouken. Congratulations to Resonance22 for being the only goon to pick the same five anime as the group consensus! You are the bellwether of ADTRW. Strange Quark posted:2.

Ugh, I'd do it but the data is in a horrible new format unlike the previous years. All the choices for each person is in one long text field that is comma separated, *except* that some animes also have commas in their names. Further, ranking is optional so you can't use that to get at people's choices either. Also the titles are given in a super long format which is impossible to fit into a plot and look nice. It's a giant pain in the rear end, if someone wants to post a cleaned up dataset then I'll take a look at it.

Alright, thanks you two. I had to tweak the method a bit because this year, it seemed like everyone's favourite shows were dominated by a relatively small number of them. Oh well, this is hardly scientific. Here we go...  As usual, people close to you have similar taste, more or less. If you align with the arrows relating to certain shows, maybe you'll like those too. If the arrows for certain shows go in the same direction, then it seems that people who like one show like the other show too. With the opposite if the arrows go in the opposite direction...
