I realize that this isn't the first week where user polls were back, but I kept forgetting to comment...
I'm glad you guys put the user poll follow ups back. |

Your friendly Code Geass expert checking in to say Charles is an Emperor, not a king, and he has more wives than children. Code Geass is still my favorite anime of all time, and if you’re on the fence about watching it, don’t listen to the haters.

Code Geass, overrated? Absolutely not. Perfect choice for a marathon.
Now, Your Lie in April? That's overrated. After hearing so much about it, I was thoroughly disappointed that it didn't even elicit a single tear. I suppose if you're into music, it'll make a bigger impact, but that's pretty much it. If you're looking to board a roller-coaster of emotions, Violet Evergarden is much better in almost every regard. |

March Comes In Like a Lion, Violet Evergarden, K-On!, but not on Netflix. Netflix has been more harmful to anime than good for it and everyone should buy the home video for anime instead of watching on Netflix

While I can appreciate the sentiment of promoting home video, these examples illustrate why most will not do so for most series they watch, let alone for the first time. For those of us in the US, there is as of yet no home video release of Violet Evergarden, unless we import it from, say, Australia (and get a player that can actually play the appropriate region). March Comes In Like a Lion was released by Aniplex in 4 volumes, available on Right Stuf for $130...each, or a total of $520. Getting the entire series of K-On is substantially cheaper, but will still cost around $100, enough for several months of a Netflix subscription (or more than a year of other streaming services). If you can afford to do so and feel strongly about the series, by all means buy it on home video, but there is a reason people will stream more series than they buy on home video. And while I don’t prefer the way Netflix releases the titles they license, Netflix has probably brought anime to the eyes of more viewers than any other streaming services. At least, every casual anime fan I’ve encountered in my life in recent years watches anime via Netflix, so I’m not so certain it has done more harm than good. |

I started re-watching The Seven Deadly Sins. Violet Evergarden and Haikyu!!are ones that are still on my list to watch. Also currently in the middle of watching Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, but that is on Amazon. Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day and A Silent Voice are ones that I just got done watching for the first time, and damn, I shouldn't have watched those so close together.

Code Geass has a good ending, despite the weaker second season, so by definition it cannot "completely fall apart". I'm definitely getting too old for this, but I can still fight anyone in a televised deathmatch over that subject any day of the week. 
Besides, opinions about the series aside, the show is quite suitable for marathoning. Even post-broadcast, you run into plenty of people, both old and new viewers, who still binge-watch it these days. That aspect of the show has absolutely stood the test of time in practice. |

I'm generally not able to like things if I hear too much hype about them beforehand, but this is especially true for Your Lie In April. Though it's one of my favorites, and the only one I really like from this article's list, its story is relatively predictable, so if you go into it expecting groundbreaking originality, you'll end up feeling cheated. The execution--acting, animation, and obviously the music--is what makes it good. The same is largely true of Violet Evergarden, honestly, especially certain popular episodes. Code Geass, meanwhile, is one of many anime where I can understand why it's popular, but it doesn't work that well for me beyond cheesy entertainment value. And I could have sworn Haikyu was a basketball anime. Maybe this is one of those Berenstain Bears parallel universe things. |

I mean if 3-gatsu no Lion is not even mentioned, I really doubt your sanity. It is by far the best TV Show I have ever watched, well either this or Gintama.

They don't, or at least they don't have as many as the poll would suggest. People are just writing in whatever they like and totally ignoring the Netflix part. Double check before taking part in the poll because non-Netflix titles should be routed out of the results. I ended up voting for K-On, Ouran, and writing in Gurren Lagann. Emerje |

Actually, all but 4 of the 44 choices (excluding the obvious joke answer) so far are actually on Netflix. Black Lagoon, Mushi-shi, Natsume's Book of Friends, and Toradora are the only ones that aren't, at least as I could find in the US. |

Two of those four, Toradora and Natsume, were ones I was going to vote for before I double checked so maybe my sample is a bit skewed.  But I'm thinking there'll be more by the time the poll ends.

Wouldn't Code Geass fall under that category? |

I agree with all of those except Iron Blooded Orphans. Season 1 was great but Season 2 was just awful and just kept getting worse by each episode. |

It's an inherent problem trying to recommend the best stuff that isn't the most obvious stuff. The best member / most popular member of that set is arguably going to be on the list of most obvious stuff (unless you're setting the bar too low, in which case people argue that you left out something that wasn't most obvious.) Compare it to the old inductive proof that all numbers are interesting. Anyway, it's a mild complaint, but if the idea is to not just recommend the most obvious stuff that shouldn't need introduction/summary/recommending, I would put in a small statement briefly noting the ones you're skipping over, especially for people who don't realize that title X (e.g. Eva) is on Netflix. |
