Support NeoGAF

[Blader]

hmm, I'll have to look into Yamato and Build Fighters at some point. Definitely was not expecting that kind of reception for BF, which I haven't seen at all but reminded me right off the bat of SD Gundam - hence why I've been skipping it. :lol

 

[fertygo]

Some people think Gundam is about war and colonization and post-humanism and homosexuality and floating in space without your clothes on

Those people are wrong.

Gundam is about Gundams.

The quote in OP explain it nicely "because fucking robots, that's why"

 

[Necrovex]

It's hard to get people to vote for a show for two years in a row, I'm pretty sure it's the first to make the top 10 twice.

That's true. I would have skipped it if the last half wasn't god-tier. I would have felt like a bad person if I didn't rank it as number one on my personal list.

 

[rexor0717]

So basically, Yamato saved this thread from having a KLK victory.

You know you're in that thread every day.

 

[LordCanti]

That neatly encapsulates why it's so great. It's only about the Gundam themselves!

Some people think Gundam is about war and colonization and post-humanism and homosexuality and floating in space without your clothes on

Those people are wrong.

Gundam is about Gundams.

You're both wrong.

Gundam is all about "talk shit, get hit"

Meh, so many haters - I unapologetically love Kill la Kill, and it's totally one of the highlights of my week in a way that little other than Build Fighters has been this last year. I'm perfectly fine with it hitting second after Yamato (but then again, I think that's where I dropped it myself)

Depends if you're talking split cours or not.

What haters dude? It finished 2nd, plenty of people loved it. No need to apologize!

I thought Yamato was trash and a really poor space opera but I can at least respect other people liked the show enough to respect the fact that it finished in first.

 

[Branduil]

Those technically count as different seasons.

 

[DiGiKerot]

Yeah, yeah, I know. It just seems like half this thread has erupted into people complaining about Kill la Kill hitting second place ^^;

 

[papercamm]

Jojo in the top ten. Works for me.

 

[PRjumpman124]

Not a single complaint about Yamato so far in this thread. I'm curious now.

 

[Kagari]

GBF was robbed.

 

[LordCanti]

It's an okay semi-retelling of a good old space opera. There's not a whole lot more to be said.

 

[Decado]

First non-shit year since 2007, IMO. Doubt this year will be better.

 

[strangedopamine]

GBF was robbed.

AnimeGAF posters gave it 76% of the points it got. People outside need to be more aware of it for 2014's one!

 

[kiryogi]

GBF was robbed.

Yamato > GBF

It's an amazing modern semi-retelling of a good old space opera. There's not a whole lot more to be said.

Corrected

 

[Jarmel]

By that reasoning though, wouldn't something like Shin Sekai that went for multiple seasons be considered two different seasons? I'm thinking of American television where shows might take a couple or more months off but it's still considered the same season.

 

[ZoddGutts]

KLK being that high, what a joke. Series has been a diasppointment, the story and characters have been on the weak side and the animation has been inconsistent too. Kyousogiga not in the top 10

 

[sonicmj1]

This is the list that NeoGAF deserves. Yamato and Wolf Children are both worthy winners.

 

[Blades64]

I still wanted it higher, but I'm glad Hunter X Hunter charted. It has been tearing up this year. Definitely the best anime I've watched this year.

Kill la Kill being #2 came out of nowhere. It's a fun show, but it just lacks substance to me. Action is nice though.

 

[PRjumpman124]

Maybe I'm crazy but as much as I liked Wolf Children I don't think it was anything that special. Really cute movie though.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

First non-shit year since 2007, IMO. Doubt this year will be better.

Mushishi automatically makes 2014 better than 2013.

 

[Peco]

Happy to see Hana no Uta made it in the Top 20.

First AnimeGAF needs to stop shunning Hunter x Hunter

 

[astrogamer]

2/10 of my top ten were in the Top Ten and 5/10 for the top 20. It seems my tastes in anime don't really match too well with AnimeGaf but then again half the top ten I didn't watch and I'm not too particularly found of mecha anime

 

[Geneijin]

I wonder how many people here responding also voted

 

[Amikami]

I really got to check out Kill la Kill and Yamato. So glad to see Flowers of Evil up there though. Deserved.

I wanted to vote, but I really hadn't checked out enough anime to feel like I should. I've only recently gotten back into anime really good.

 

[Quasar]

Certainly for me only one of my top 10 ended up on the overall top 10 (Eccentric Family), though a couple of mine did end up on the 11-20 so I'm not totally disconnected from the results

Naw, if anything, general fans pushed the poll in a certain direction. 3 shounen shows, for example.

This this this this!

That would be #4 if everybody read the rules

Agree entirely on both points.

 

[Jintor]

Last minute yamato push ftw

 

[Quasar]

I'm pretty amazed by the number of #1 votes it got.

 

[OniBarubary]

This thread and the Miyazaki thread make me feel like I have a higher tolerance for some things than a lot of the people on here. That or my tastes are just mad fucking different than the majority. Weird.

Then again, I'm so behind on anime due to not watching a show until it's finished that I have trouble remembering what season each was from. Should see my list of anime to remember document, looks like a conspiracy theorist's corkboard.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Would have been number 1 if yamato hadn't come out of nowhere to dominate

Think about it

I don't think it would have won. Had it not been for Yamato, a lot of people might have put some of the other contenders like Eccentric Family, Flowers of Evil or From the New World higher. A bandwagon would have likely built around some other show instead of Yamato.

It's hard to get people to vote for a show for two years in a row, I'm pretty sure it's the first to make the top 10 twice.

Fate/Zero did it between 2011/2012, and Jojo also pulled it off this year.

Fate/Zero was 2 seasons. JoJo is also first.

 

[R_thanatos]

Monogatari isn't in top 10 because of this:

Most people wrote off the series then. The only people left were degenerates like me.

i'm still here.

 

[HolyBaikal]

Awww, I wish Non Non Biyori had done better.

I guess I should have voted.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

I'm glad that almost all of the stuff I voted for placed highly or made it into the top 20. Yamato and Wolf Children's spots were well deserved. Poor Rozen Maiden.

 

[flintstryker]

to those who have seen it how does Space Battleship Yamato compare to LOGH after seeing that all other space opera seems like amateur hour (live action included) is it worthy?

 

[firehawk12]

I knew nothing about both, and I just couldn't get into LOGH because the battles were a bit ridiculous and I didn't care about any of the characters or the sides that they fought for.

Yamato grabbed me by the balls right from the first episode.

 

[Soriku]

Kill la Kill at #2? And above Attack on Titan? WTF lol. I swear people here like AoT more.

Kuroko season 2 got robbed mang. Though I imagine that's mainly because no one's watching it. But anyway, Kuroko is excellent. Highly recommended, even if you don't like basketball much (I don't).

Gotta watch From the New World soon.

LOGH is kinda hard to get into for real but I have yet to come across a sci fi series so rich complex with so many great characters since.

Still hearing so much praises for Yamaoto is definitely making me want to try it.

You want Bakemono and Monogatari S2, not Nise. Unless you have an unhealthy obsession with dental hygiene... in which case you can go nuts.

Will I go mentally insane by entering this rabbit hole?

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Not really

Spoiler

maybe physically insane

 

[JoeFu]

Will I go mentally insane by entering this rabbit hole?

no it is legitimately a great show and people focus too much on one episode from a weaker season.
