Same here. The crazier she got the better the series got. That said, if he doesn't like the sound of her, he won't like the series most likely. She single handedly made that series awesome so if someone can't appreciate her, I doubt they would appreciate Mirai Nikki. |

To each his or her own of course, but Yuno really is the reason to watch Future Diary. The other parts of the anime are rather meh: numbered, not very well fleshed out antagonists, ludicrous over the top horribleness that's so camp it's hard to suspend disbelief, and also not really enjoyable. But I'm still glad I watched it because of the horror-trainwreck that is Yuno. To me, that piece felt like the real horror/thriller, rather than the Future Diary itself, watching as Yuki becomes trapped into staying with her, and she just gets more and more horrible. No, you aren't supposed to like her, she's more like a horror movie monster. But if watching horror isn't your cup of tea, definitely don't watch Future Diary. The only other anime I've seen any of on this list is Death Note, but yeah, I totally expected Yuno to be #1 on this list regardless. |

>Misa the loyal one is on this list
Just no. I saw the cyborg poll and became disappointed Cutey Honey and Gai Shishioh were that low (and wouldn't Schwartz from G Gundam also count? where's he?). As for the cartoon list poll I went with NA because I don't watch animation these days outside of South Park. Well, mostly.
Seconding this, it was very spiritually faithful to the comics and had many awesome moments!

Why were so many of the cartoons on the new poll not ongoing? Is there no vetting process? Does no one actually read the poll before putting a write-in answer? Odd.
As for the list this week, I pretty much agree with it. I'd put a number of very annoying tsunderes on the list, personally, but that's largely a result of my general dislike for that archetype. As for School Days, Sekai is honestly as bad as Kotonoha, if not worse, but a lot of her reasons for being terrible have more to do with her causing/exacerbating so many of the problems in the plot, rather than anything specifically related to being a girlfriend. |

Chiming in to say I third this. Agents of S.M.A.S.H. was very enjoyable to watch. I don't know why people ripped on it so much. |

With current being the criteria, a bunch of these shouldn't be on the poll as they've finished their run. Also, if you put Voltron on here, you might as well put the Dragons series on it, too. My votes were for Steven Universe, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, and Rick and Morty.

Oh that's easy not like whatever era of the Hulk comics that the critics liked, some cheesy cliche humor, everyone is in Hulk mode all the time, and some corny writing. But I thought it was okay especially with the fact that it had the best portrayal of the Hulk of the three series.
Did her boyfriend brutally kill her and murder the person she was cheating with? And yeah that poll on American cartoons is awkward. But if I had to list my favorites (many of which aren't currently on air) It would be Beware The Batman Samurai Jack Megas XLR TMNT 2003 Action Man GI Joe Renegades Young Justice Thundercats (2011) The Boondocks Family Guy Avengers EMH/ Avenger's Assemble Ultimate Spider-Man Batman The Brave & The Bold |

Megas and Thundercats were two more that died an ignoble cancellation far too soon. And I am still waiting for the return of Samurai Jack we were promised at the end of last year. |

Wow, this is a first for me re ANN List: I've actually watched all of these shows re Worst Girlfriend. I usually fare well to actually see one-half what you writers post as standard material among true believers of anime with regard to the topic at hand.
Although I disagree with your reasonings behind choices #7 (Misaki Nakahara) and #2 (Nanako Saeki) being on the list I wholeheartedly congratulate you for choosing Yuno Gasai, who represents an extremely close facsimile of my ex-fiancee pick from my descent into madness over a decade ago. Topic Header star-gazer choice: yeah, 5 days before committing to a marriage from Hell I managed to come to my senses after being continually victimized by the tyranny of non-stop screaming if she didn't get her way plus my first ever nervous breakdown from which I barely recovered in time to bail. My oh my, it's an amazing resemblance of her, complete with middle finger extended once our discussions would exceed the unwritten 7 second rule should both of us coincidentally be in the same room attempting conversation. Future Diary: the retelling of my untold story about a lonely victim who paid dearly for almost choosing style over substance in a significant commitment. Tip o' the hat to you, Lynzee, choosing my ex-fiancee as the #1 pick. I often wished she would have actively sought help rather than choosing to continually ignore the gravity of her situation blaming others. As far current American cartoon interest my top choice would be South Park. It's sad when they're bad but when they aren't the topics chosen make for exquisite biting social commentary in context with the times. |

This is so funny. But to each their own. |

We're definitely going to agree to disagree here. Like many other entries in the survival/murder game genre, and perhaps more than most, Future Diary is based on spectacle, and while I'll freely admit that the series is one Demolition Derby fireball of a spectacle, there wasn't anything else to make it compelling to me, and Yuno was part of the problem. There are a lot of shows where you ask yourself "what weird, convoluted nonsense is the writer going to pull out of his rear end next," and I felt there were more than enough for me to pass on watching Future Diary to the end. |

I remember my reaction to the end of Welcome to the NHK (the novel; not really familiar with the manga or anime):

I know, I know... |

I'm guessing people are adding the shows that long since finished airing, so I just voted for series that are actually airing or in-between seasons.
Venture Bros., Rick & Morty and Star vs. The Forces of Evil which seems like it's finally coming back with new episodes next month. I figure there'll be enough votes for some other great shows like Steven Universe amongst others, but hopefully seeing it on the poll means some others will discovery it. |

I kinda just consider myself an animation fan as a whole, because I've gone through phases where I either watched more anime or more Western animation, and it really depends on what's currently airing whether I like one or the other more. There's still so much animation as a whole that I really need to catch up on. I'm watching Steven Universe right now, but I was also really into Gravity Falls when it was still on.
As for the countdown list, I don't think yanderes are "my type". Heck, even some tsunderes are a little too abrasive for me. My first boyfriend was a mixture of both (alternately ignoring me, stalking me, and trying to control me), and my most recent girlfriend was so far on the "tsun" side when we broke up, I couldn't tell whether she actually loved me anymore or not. I do periodically feel sorry for tsunderes and yanderes, though-- I wonder if they're insecure because a previous lover broke their heart and their trust so badly that they need someone to rebuild it. And maybe with the right lover they can, who knows? |

Knowing how fickle and violent a yandere's personality can be on the spot, they more often than not wouldn't be my first choice for a date...
But...If I had to choose which girl to go out for a walk in at a park, Kaede would be my first pick. |
