Where's Legend of the Legendary Heroes?
And this survey made me realize how dead Fall Quarter was for me. Really, I'm starting to get worried that I'm losing interest in anime, because Winter doesn't look very good, and Spring isn't exactly exciting me, either. I guess there are still the continuing series that I watch, but for me, there seems to be slim pickings when it comes to new shows.

I find it more likely that the results display lag behind the vote, which is why I referred to it as being lame with respect to user feedback ... having a system where the results displayed to a user lags behind the vote just cast by that user is pretty far behind the state of the art.

The only series I watched entirely was Arakawa Under The Bridge season two. The reason I didn't haven't watched the current episodes of Bakuman and The World Only Kami Sama knows is because they pretty much follow the manga (NOTE: this is actually for the better and not worse, so don't think I am saying the series isn't worth watching, because Bakuman especially is a masterpiece of a series) and I've been very busy recently.
Arakawa Season two was easily the best show this season (next being Bakuman followed by The World Only Kami Sama knows) was really fun watching from episode one to the final episode. It was also one of the very few shows that had minimal to no fanservice and an actual plot that went somewhere and actually caught my interest. Hopefully a third season is made one day, as the manga is still ongoing at this time. But yeah, Arakawa is a fantastic series and is not just your standard comedy. Much more character development and back history than I would have initially thought and the opening theme fits the series pretty well. |

I just realized I'm really getting back into the swing of watching anime (in a serious way).
Watched (more than 5 episodes): 11 Bakuman. OreImo Star Driver Squid Girl Kuragehime Samurai Girls Soredemo Panty & Stoking Togainu no Chi Psychic Detective Yakumo The World God Only Knows Finished: 4 Bakuman. Star Driver OreImo Kuragehime Favorite: It was a tie between OreImo & Bakuman., but of course I could only pick one, which was Bakuman.. Honesty I kinda feel OreImo was the better of the two, but I just HAVE to see how Bakuman. plays out. It's pretty captivating IMO. I also REALLY enjoyed Kuragehime. I usually avoid shoujo anime, but I LOVED this series. I've never read the manga, but I hope the anime continues somehow. Finally, I thought BONES' Star Driver was the most impressive (out of the series I watched) visually. On another note: I'm really surprised more people (according to the poll) sat through 5 episodes of Panty & Stocking than Soredemo viewers. Did anyone besides me enjoy Soredemo? I've decided to finish watching Soredemo, Samurai Girls, Squid Girl, P&S, Psychic Detective Yakumo, & The World Only God Knows before I start watching the Winter season. (sorry for the long annoying post! i'm just really stoked i watched so much anime (haha) and now i'm sharing my thoughts on them. i usually don't participate in forum discussions during the actually airings.) |

You're looking at it the wrong way! At least as far as I'm concerned --and I'm looking at similar scarcity over the next couple seasons-- now's the time to catch up on backlog. From 2010 alone I've got Katanagatari, Arakawa, Tatami Galaxy, Kuragehime, and Shiki (and maybe Soredemo) to watch. Anyway, PSG was definitely the best of season for me, since I wasn't being a classy fan who watched Kuragehime. Oreimo was the runner up, followed by Squid Girl and Star Driver, all of which were pretty close together in the running. Certainly turned out to be a better Fall than I thought it would be. |

Ditto. Everything I voted for shows 0 votes. If I try to go back, I am thanked for my vote, so I can't try again. Online polls are always questionable, anyway, but this one has an extra layer of questionability. And WHY isn't Shiki on the list? It wouldn't be my favorite, but I did actually watch the whole thing. |

Perhaps it was intended to be a closed poll until the results were announced but was left open in error until after the first three votes went through?

People keep mentioning shiki, but shiki was Summer. As was legend of the legendary heroes.
I think a lot more people SHOULD watch Kuragehime / Jellyfish princess if they have not already. It was really a joy to watch. Star Driver is a show that I think hits or misses. It has a lot of plays on its own genre. It has a lot of style, visually and musically. The characters themselves can be a bit flat, but because the show is so character driven, the majority of them develop quite a bit. Its only real issues are the fact that its so formulaic. Its basically a magical girl show, only with guys, and girly mecha. Following the traditional magical girl formula for each episode. Because of that though, I think Kuragehime was the real gem of the season for me. I did watch quite a number more though... Panty and Stocking... so much can be said and has been said about the series. I truthfull watch it primarily for the soundtrack, which btw, is an amazing OST done by Taku Takahashi of M-flo, with lyrics for the songs written by Lisa (Former M-flo) and Emyli (works with M-flo often). Soredemo had a great opening sequence. Squid girl had a great translation job on crunchyroll. But both are 4-koma and tend to be a bit forgettable. Bakuman was horribly slow, nothing ever happened, every episode was basically the same, only barely building on the last. Zakuro was... actually a pretty solid shoujo series. But... left me a little empty. |

I actually finished almost everything I started. Since the poll isn't working here's how I voted:
Watched all: Otome Yokai Zakuro OreImo MM! Star Driver (up to date) Bakuman. (up to date) Squid Girl The World God Only Knows Toaru Majutsu no Index II Tegami Bachi Reverse Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge Motto To Love-ru Watched more than one episode: Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector (only 2 eps in, I'll finish it some day) Favorite: Toaru Majutsu no Index II Favorite was closely followed by TWGOK (can't wait for the sequel!), Zakuro, and Squid Girl. But no masterpieces this Fall. Also I only got through one episode of these titles with no plans to ever finish: Fortune Arterial (painfully generic) Yosuga no Sora (painfully boring) Tantei Opera Milky Holmes (painfully unfunny) I was actually looking forward to Milky Holmes, too bad.

Yep, i wasn't sure after the first episode, but after the next few i noticed getting attached to the characters and laughing about certain situations in the show. I was even able to ignore the attacks on my eardrums by Chiaki Omigawa over the course of the series. All in all i found the show quite enjoyable. Best show for me was probably Squid Girl, followed closely by Kuragehime. |

I guess she appeals to different people. I think her voice is very cute and I've unintentionally watched and enjoyed everything she's been in (except for Hidamari Sketch) so I'm really looking forward to Hana-Saku Iroha. Emerje |

Bakuman was my favorite and Yakumo wasn't half bad, that was my vote. The others lacked a lot in terms Originality and Animation. Can't say any better for the beginning of 2011, nothing special so far. Out of all the recent Anime released I only got interested in 2.
I read this in another post and made me think. Lately I'm loosing interest in Anime. It has been a long time since something entirely new both in Plot Originality or Animation surfaced. I wish we could see better plots and not more attempts at business making Anime (Beyblade Metal Fusion, Vanguard) or dumb fanservice plots. |

I was torn between answering the question as what I expect they probably meant (i.e. "Have you watched all episodes to date"), and the literal meaning of the question. In the end, I answered it literally. Simply put, that part of the poll was poorly done. The question either should have been rephrased, or the anime that had not completed airing should have been omitted. |

Man, looking over the list, I realized I only watched one episode from one show from Fall, and the only reason was because I was at SDCC so I saw the pilot for Iron Man. So I couldn't mark down anything.
I may go back and watch Kuragehime and Squid Girl though. Those two sounded the most promising. Winter's lineup looks much more interesting for me, with 3-4 shows I may try out. |
