Great thread. I wish there was a gaming version.
My wife and I like watching comedy anime together like Ninja Nonsense and School Rumble but have ran into a lot of duds on Netflix so this would be a great aid in finding the good ones.

Monogatari isn't in top 10 because of this:
Most people wrote off the series then. The only people left were degenerates like me.
Then Kaikimonogatari happens, the clouds parted,the heavens open wide and god himself aka Kaiki descended upon us with his spectacular swag and saved us all.
In other words Nisemonogatari is shit but Monogatari second season manage to redeem itself with Kaiki.
Nise is either redeemed by how much you love the Fire Sisters, or damned by how much you don't.
It's so much more, really. The interactions of Shinobu and Araragi are great for instance. People hate on Hanekawa, but I liked her arc as well. Ararararagi, Gahara-chan and Kaiki were also an interesting pairing that paid off in Monogatari.

Tytania is another series that suffered from me watching LOGH It just felt weak after such a masterpiece, you guys have sold me on Yamato though will be trying it once I get from school today.

I watched a few episodes of Tyantia when I was back home, but I watched the handful of them in the middle and not from the start cause I'm a rebel and that's how I roll and at it was part of a VOD thing my parents' cable has. Anyways, it seemed really goofy for a space opera but then I saw the twist that's like half-way through the series.
Man, talk about a FUCK YOU if you had actually stuck through the series from the start.
The fact that you actually watched Tytania past that "fuck you" moment means you should be obligated to watch LOGH from start to finish. No excuses.I gave my 26 episodes to Tytania then, because that's a lot of episodes for something to start.
Truth hurts. I love Gundam but Tomino is a fucking terrible writer and director.
Yamato 2199 is done well enough but there are still some incredibly groan-worthy moments. It's a shining example of how to modernize a 70's anime, but I'll always prefer the original thing to a remake.
Having said that, Gundam is infinitely more enjoyable to me than Yamato. I await Gundam: The Origin's anime adaptation with bated breath.

I don't know how many of the top 20 you've seen, but Love Lab and Yozakura Quartet are the most deserving of the overlooked, in my opinion.

Interested in SBY2199, how do I check it out without resorting to fansubs? The Voyager blu-rays? Those will be the unedited theatrical presentations? The US release schedule seems a little weird / confusing.
Only thing I found myself. Maybe Netflix will get the discs like they did the Gurren Lagann movies, but they've gotten sorta bad about reliably stocking DVDs/blu-rays of anime in the last several years I've noticed.

Subete no aware
The Japanese blurays released with English subtitles, so there were never fansubs. That's your only option at the moment, other than the official US release that starts later this month.
Maybe it's just been too long, but I don't remember this so-called "Fuck You" moment. lol

Do we know if they'll be content-identical? I don't mind waiting if so, otherwise I'll import! Voyager's website looks like a web-scraped domain-parked "adversite."

Everybody should check out Non Non Biyori.

If it's the one I'm thinking of its (TYTANIA SPOILERS AHOY)
when Lira gets killed in episode 12. I really didn't watch pass that, but that's the one I'm talking about at least.

Love Lab, Non Non Biyori and 90% of Monogatari are all on Crunchyroll along with the series in bold.
And not just that, but in one of the dumbest ways possible. It was just stupid and contrieved.
Just watch them in release order
Bakemonogatari
Nisemonogatari (if you are brave)
Nekomonogatari
Monogatari Second Season
This. so much this. Nise despite being a weaker entry, still has a lot of necessarily plot material for the series overall.
Thanks, I'll give all these a shot. I watched the first episode of Non Non Biyori and it was pretty solid, so I'll probably hit that first.
True story: Before I watched anime, I happened to see a screenshot of a show that looked interesting, so I decided to go into it blind. That show was Bakemonogatari. I quickly fell in love with the visual style and it's what got me into the medium. I've watched and enjoyed -monogatari ever since, PSAs on dental hygiene and all.

Thank you for tallying the results BGBW!
Wow. Kyoukai no Kanata didn't break into the top 20. I normally can't stand romantic stories but Kyoukai pulled it off.

Is it really that surprising? I mean I have the lowest standards possible (so low it's in the Guinness Book of Records) and even I dropped the show.
Gets good from episode 1
I'm thinking about watching it as well, so should I just drop it if I don't like the first episode? Because that's what you seem to be saying.
Well the first episode was shit. The next three are much better but its still not close to a masterpiece. Its cliche as fuck and the characters are all boring so far. Done a fair amount of eye rolling too. I guess its supposed to be like this as its a remake of a much older anime. I'm hoping it improves though because I really want to like it. This stuff is usually right up my alley.
It improves as it goes. I found 5 and 6 to be a step up from 3 and 4, and 9-11 are even better than those. It doesn't become a fundamentally different show, but it does slowly grow more complex.

Interesting list. Some results I expected, some I didn't.
My own list for AOTY went well, especially when I consider that I switched to watching almost entirely current shows, instead of balancing them with completed shows. It was a fair amount, but it kept growing towards the end of the year.
My list went like this [along with what GAF voted]:
There were three shows that would've popped up in my list, had they not have been ongoing - Kill la Kill, Golden Time, and Log Horizon. Not sure how I feel with that rule, but it is pretty weird that people are voting KLK so highly, and it's not yet finished. I love it dearly, but I'd rather wait for the end.
I've barely heard of GAF's #1 show, though. Quite surprised.

Yet another list that tells me i have completelly diferent taste than most :/
I only watched attack o titan, The Devil is a Part timer , snafu and Gargantia from the the top 20 list. But might check out Yamato out, didn't know it was an actual series and not only some random ova's.
Just wished there would be more realistic animes in the future, which would behave like actual filmed tv series and obey the laws of gravity, which one could immerse into. Seems like 80% of animes these days are semi parodies, high school something , have completely cartoony laws and style, or unrealistic human interactions. Looking at the list and Kill la Kill being at 2, it looks like i'm in the minority on this.

That's a rule I fully agree with, although I don't think it should be enforced in any way.
For example, I probably wouldn't have voted for Monogatari S2 if I had only seen the first dozen episodes, and I'm sure there are shows I might have voted for had I not seen the endings. I also voted both Hunter x Hunter and Space Brothers highly, and neither is technically finished, but those are really long shows that aired almost every week in 2013.
It does lead to an odd situation where any show airing over Autumn/Winter gets an extra shot at making the list, but I don't think it's such a big deal for what amounts to a forum poll.
On the flip side because some people choose to vote for a show in the first year it was broadcast and others choose to wait till it is finished the votes are split. When a show performs well both times (JoJo and GuP are two examples this year that appeared in last years vote) it goes to prove that both shows were well received despite the split votes.
