Popularity=/necessitate critical opinions. Which is the most popular game doesn't mean that people think it's the best game of the year. GTAV is a much more popular game but TLOU is probably going to win because more people think it's a better game.

It's a measure of what's popular and well-liked among the population of hardcore gamers that make up this forum. That's all.

This whole argument over the AOTY voting scheme reeks of people who need some sort of validation that what they like is what everyone else who matters likes.

Maturity, bitches.
Minimum shows is probably a bad idea just because it will result in people listing random shows or shows they've heard of. Same reason making their votes count for less if they vote for less shows is a bad idea.
It's only two shows I'm suggesting. I've decided to stick to the old scoring method as a consensus was not met.

Anyone know the top 10 shows based on total sales?

Nah, more like it's a first-party sony exclusive that's well loved and sold millions on a forum filled with sony fans.

That's better than Angel Beats and Ano Hana ranking in AOTY.

At least we didn't have a revote that resulted in the same thing again.

This thread is going to be interesting as it retains the Cajunatior sized hole for another week or so.

Ah, glorious third place. All is as it should be, I suppose.

Anyway, I'm keeping Kill la Kill and Gundam Build Fighters, and picking up Mazinger Girls and Nobunaga the Fool. I might do Space Dandy just to stay hip, but so far I've been mostly uninterested in it.

Well I'll likely have shows like KKK and Puchimas in my list so I obviously don't see the final results reflecting my taste. I just feel that those who take the time to rank shows should be rewarded over those who only list one show with no thought.

Based on Japanese sales ranked by per-volume average (realize that some of these sales are not complete):

1. Attack on Titan
2. Monogatari SS
3. Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000%
4. Free!
5. Love Live!
6. Infinite Stratos 2
7. Railgun S
8. Oreimo S2
9. Hataraku Maou-sama!
10. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru

GAF full of Sony Ponies confirmed.

And having a group of people list a single or possibly two shows tells everybody what? Especially when it's possible those are the only two shows they saw this year. Gaming side doesn't run into this problem because GAF is a gaming forum.

So Space Dandy will premiere first on Toonami right? Not sure if I should watch just the dub or waste my time and watch both. Lol

Winter looks okay this year, well better than last years winter.

But why does that matter? If they like it, let them vote for it. A popular vote by nature doesn't allow for much critical expression.

That was kinda cold.

Cutting the fat.

Will continue Kill la Kill, might check Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha and Chuu2 if I like the first season (which I'll be watching soon). Nothing really caught my eye this season =/

Pew-Pew!

I wasn't even going to qualify this, because somehow it'll probably make it seem worse. I just meant in terms of the thread moving so quick, meaning I never have the time to actually read most of it.

Then why does it matter holding it in the first place?

Votes from previous years have been useful as a nice shorthand for recent stuff that curious people might enjoy. Also everyone loves a top 10 list, even if just to disagree with it.

Hate is another form of love? You're starting to sound like Caster my friend.

Disappointment is not the appropriate word. Unending hatred peppered with the intense desire to excise it from the chronicles of our world by force or time travel would be the emotion I would cite.

But is it worse than fetuses knowing what sex feels like?

Someone should just put the format up to a vote and let it be decided that way. It's apparent that there isn't going to be a solution that pleases everybody. So let the majority decide.
