The biggest thing Fate Zero had going against it was the fact it was a 2nd season.

The next highest show on this list that was a 2nd season was 21st. A 2nd season of a show (one that had a god awful first episode!) vs a KyoAni property, the fact that the result was even that close is really all that needs to be said about what was really the best anime of the year.

I'm really pleased by these results, frankly. Almost all of my choices are somewhere close to where I'd prefer them to be, and the top three (four, even) absolutely deserve it. This seemed like a great year to get back into seriously committing myself to anime.

Is this like when sports ball fans complain about the ref blowing a call or something?

You know, on reflection, this is probably the best top ten list I've seen throughout all the years that I've paid attention to the annual vote. When I say 'best' I of course mean 'list that I agree with the most'. Last year's list was damaged by the presence of Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai.

Thanks, Articalys.

I'm glad the essence of good taste prevailed this year. EVERYONE MUST BOW DOWN TO THEIR GODS - KYOANI.

Happy and surprised SSY (From The New World) even made the Top 10.:D also tsuritama, fate/zero S2, hyouka and Jojo being higher than Kids on the Slope is disturbingly accurate.;o

Well to use a wrestling analogy Hyouka would represent Shawn Michaels, Fate/Zero Season 2 would be Bret Hart, AnimeGAF would be Earl Hebner and the collective body of GAF as a whole as Vince McMahon.

I'm liking the diversity in the top 10 as well. Its not just moeblob after moeblob.

Good job on this Articalys.

5 Fate/zero
6 Hourou Musuko
7 Redline
8 Hanasaku Iroha
9 Working'!!
10 Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai

AOTY 2010:

1 Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
2 Durarara!!
3 The Tatami Galaxy
4 The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
5 K-On!!
6 Princess Jellyfish
7 Angel Beats!
8 Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
9 Shiki (novel series)
10 Katanagatari

2010... yeah.

Aside from Ano Hana, 2011 was a good list.

2010 on the other hand...

edit: Omg I forgot Iroha beat out Ano Hana in 2011. Amazing.

For further reference, here are some Anime released in 2010 that didn't make the top-10 list:

Gundam Unicorn

House of Five Leaves

Colorful

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru

The Borrower Arrietty

You are Umasou

Tamayura

Black Roack Shooter

Time of Eve movie

HeartCatch PreCure!

Book Girl (film)

Hidamari Sketch×Hoshimittsu

Trigun: Badlands Rumble

Welcome to the Space Show
 

Regulus Tera

Romanes Eunt Domus
Smile Precure did somewhat better than Heartcatch Precure in positions, and much better in overall points. Further proof of PrecureGAF's growing influence.

Wasn't it porn.

The Borrower Arrietty
Not Miyazaki no one cares.

You are Umasou
Amazing film got robbed.

Time of Eve movie
Niche remake of a niche mini series.

HeartCatch PreCure!

Are you implying I like idolmaster? you should know how tags work around here, stop being foolish.

You might want to explain what you like, then, because most people won't be able to figure it out just from criticizing this year's list.

That's a pretty solid top 10. The only one I'd rather see out of there is Sakamichi no Apollon.

And no SAO! You did good, GAF.

While I enjoy Gundam Unicorn, I am in no way shocked to see it absent from a top 10 on NeoGAF. Hell, even a top 20.

This is handy. I will give some these a try.

The only show I am watching at the moments is Eureka Seven AO which I am slowly working my way through.


Hmmmm.....it didn't make the Top 10 I see......where is it....no, not the Top 50.....what is this.....?

Number 100?!

So basically I am watching crap anime.....

Bail out while you still can =\

Seems hard to spend a vote for only 1 slice of a 7 part OVA

If its a well done production, I don't see why not but yeah. If there is a more complete alternative, you would ideally vote for that.

Sorry to break it to you like this, but yes.

I stopped around ep.8 I got tired of them kinda referencing events but never going anywhere with it.
