2011 was probably the best year for anime since 2007. Tons of great stuff got aired this year.

Nope, I disagree. The only anime in that top 10 list I would watch are maybe Steins;Gate and Redline. The other stuff just looks way too feminine; I don't like anime in that style.

If you haven't watched Fate/Zero then, I'm sorry. Rider is the most badass manly man of anime for 2011.

I'm just quoting you because lulz.Nope, I disagree. The only anime in that top 10 list I would watch are maybe Steins;Gate and Redline. The other stuff just looks way too feminine; I don't like anime in that style.
Again, disagree. 2011 is the worst year I can remember since I started downloading subbed anime in 2006.
Edit: Nevermind, 2010 is probably the worst. 2011 is second worst.
It's honestly depressing that people think like this. Stop being insecure in your own masculinity and go watch Wandering Son, bro.Nope, I disagree.

Fate/Zero is anything but feminine. (You should check out Kaiji season 2 as well.) And while I can understand people who want their anime super-manly disappointed by there not being as much of that as there once was, one should be careful to distinguish one's personal tastes from a show's quality.
Is it fair for only part of a story to poll high in an anime of 2011 poll?
Lol wut, penguin drum is like objectively better than all those shows in terms of artistry and pure entertainment.I remember when I use to watch 3 to 4 good new anime shows each season less than 2 years ago. Anime like Eden of the East, Durarara!!, Darker than Black, etc. Now, there is really nothing new worth watching. It is sad to see how far anime has fallen so quickly.
The feminine comment was aimed mostly at the number 1. I have watched fate/stay night and didn't really like it so I just skipped fate/zero.

Real men enjoy their magical girl shows and are not afraid to show it.The feminine comment was aimed mostly at the number 1. The other stuff doesn't look so bad; should have clarified that. I have watched fate/stay night and didn't really like it so I just skipped fate/zero.
SHAFT is the new GAINAX. Incredibly popular yet flawed works that the collective nerdom masturbates upon.Ugh, Madoka. Not that I'm surprised, but...ugh.
Ugh, no. Please take this back and think about what you just said.SHAFT is the new GAINAX. Incredibly popular yet flawed works that the collective nerdom masturbates on.

Well, true. Outside of Evangelion and Top wo Nerae! old GAINAX couldn't make anything that actually sold. SHAFT has got them beat in the business-sense department.Ugh, no. Please take this back and think about what you just said.
Oh wait you meant that.GAINAX has (had? lol RIP) tons of actual talent. SHAFT has like 2 people worth a damn.

I'm one of the people who liked Eden of the East but I wouldn't hold it as the gold standard for anime or anything :lol
Out of all the anime in the top ten the only one that leans towards the girly side of things is probably Ano Hana, and that's stretching it. Most people would argue Madoka's main audience is fat otaku neckbreathers anyway.One of the first anime I watched was sailor moon so I am not scared to watch more feminine oriented anime. I'm simply not interested with anime of that style anymore.
Edit: I would watch a sailor moon remake though.

True that, but I was thinking mostly in terms of audience. We would have to define what a female market wants from their animus first however.Eh, Wandering Son has a fairly feminine aesthetic.
Usagi Drop, Wandering Son, Penguindrum, etc, do not appeal to the "moe fan" demographic and are high quality shows.I know what neutralgamer02 is saying, Anime definitely has a more niche appeal now. Seems like the quality shows appeal to the moe fan demographic. Which I just don't like either.
Usagi Drop is both moé and manly. It's probably the manliest show to air in years too.I know what neutralgamer02 is saying, Anime definitely has a more niche appeal now. Seems like the quality shows appeal to the moe fan demographic. Which I just don't like either.

There are also quality shows that do appeal to the moe fan demographic like iDOLM@STER but that's another topic.
The OP is wrong!!!Usagi drop is moe. The quote in the OP even says so! And Wandering Son has a mature theme but isn't really my cup of tea.

Fate/Zero might be #5 in 2011, but it'll be #1 in 2012! WE WILL RETURN!!!
Can't believe Fate/Zero beat Wandering Son. Wtf.
While we're learning that there are actually different categories of anime, Ouran is a property targeted towards girls.Usagi drop is moe. The quote in the OP even says so! And Wandering Son has a mature theme but isn't really my cup of tea.
I mean when I used to watch Anime regularly shows like Ouran Host Tea Club or Welcome to the NHK were along these lines and were a fun distraction, but now they seem to take up the bulk of quality anime.
And I never denied they can be of good quality.
Have 2nd half of seasons not been eligible before? It seems like people have been voting under the assumption that they are, especially for Chihayafuru.Is it actually going to be called Fate/Zero season 2, or will it just start at episode 14? If it's the latter, don't know if it would be eligible.

Well I'm not the one that sets the rules, but I'd compare it to a long-running show that lasts several years. Would you call One Piece or Detective Conan eligible even though they started in the 90s?
