No mention of the Red Garden staff visiting New York for research? They even had a blog for their visual research at one point.

Nice list, although I am kinda sad Eden of the East's DC didn't get a mention. Also, Steins Gate had a bonus episode in LA, with the convention center in impressive detail. As for anime of the year, I may be against the grain, but I leaned towards Date a live, Haganai Next, Beyond the Boundary, and Railgun S. In the end it was Haganai for me.

I am currently quite enjoying Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, which takes place in America. And it's based on a VN, yay!
I have not seen a single anime that came out in 2013. I'm always at least a year behind, to let all cream rise to the top. |

I feel vaguely guilty about having generic taste but I ended up voting for Attack On Titan. Although a large part of that is I've STARTED a lot of shows this year but I'm really bad at FINISHING things, so...it was that, or Flowers of Evil, or Free! (which are the shows I've finished from this year so far), and I really enjoyed Flowers of Evil and Free! for very, very different reasons, but Attack On Titan was the one I think I enjoyed the MOST. So far. I have a feeling I'll probably have another favorite once I start catching up and really kick myself over having voted for Titan later but oh well.

Perhaps because, although the landmarks were drawn reasonably well they were misplaced. I belong to an anime club that used to meet in NYC to watch anime. It's been a few years so I don't remember specifics but I do distinctly remember city residents in the meeting laughing at how they had things next to each other that did not belong that way. Due in part to our no longer having anime showings and more to the ridiculously huge backlog I have, although I watched a lot of anime in 2013 I did not watch a single episode of any show listed in the poll, so of course I'm not voting. Almost everything I watched was on physical media except for a few fansubs (the last season of Hidamari Sketch and the second season and OVAs for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni). |

I voted for The Eccentric Family. Admittedly, I rate that and Flowers of Evil equally as best anime of the year, for different reasons.

There's a lot of shows out there I still haven't seen (especially from 2013), but I believe the old OAV Mad Bull 34 takes place in "New York" too? re:next week's poll, I really wanted to vote for A Certain Scientific Railgun S, but had to give the top spot to Attack on Titan, which is actually pretty well-written despite it's popularity. On the other hand, if I'd seen HunterXHunter or Space Brothers I'd probably have voted for them.

I voted for Nagi no Asukura seeming as I would already rank it within my top 10 series, where exactly will depend on how the rest of the series pans out.
Glad Baccano! topped the list, cracking series. |

What people actually voted for Son Goku as a great anime father?
Sure, he loves his sons, but uh... he's a brain damaged fight addict who regularly puts his family and allies in harm's way because he wants to fight strong guys. He only agreed to marry Chi-Chi because he thought marriage was food and just kind of went with it. Unless you're watching a lot of the English dubbed version of DBZ, you're probably not going to get the impression that Goku is a top notch father. |

I can only pick one show for the poll, sounds complicated. Several shows are still airing so those are all out {I like Log Horizon and Outbreak Company but the poll is about the shows I liked from this year}.
Anything focusing on quality animation or bold images is right out. Yes, you got money or a good designer, I get it. Devil is a Part Timer is a show I really enjoyed from start to finish but I didn't rewatch any episodes and I don't feel the need to revisit it any time soon. My Romantic Life Snafu is a show that got a lot better on its second viewing, a show of vague motivations and hazy conversations. There may or may not be a love triangle and who would be the focus of it. Henneko was a love story disguised as a harem. Servant x Service is a show where I reviewed episodes midweek, simply because everything was just so fun. Voice acting, writing, the character animation and even the location. Servant X Service, that's the one I guess. |

I always wait a year or two to watch current season anime, so I can avoid the inevitable junk shows. Even so, I did watch Attack on Titan due to incessant nagging on the part of my friends. So ultimately I voted for that

Ha, I am from Chicago and I was like "Wtf is she talking about?" I looked it up--you mean the tollway! I think this is a regional terminology thing, which is a relief because I thought I was going to lose my Chicagoan card. I must watch this show now. In the poll, I voted for Attack on Titan. Not the most original choice, I know, but it's the show that kept me coming back every week whereas for the others I could skip a few weeks and then binge watch later. |

I was surprised Tiger and Bunny wasn't listed. It takes place in a fictional New York City, and it's also one of the only anime I've ever seen that features a racially diverse cast to reflect that.
