Introducing theOtaku's unofficial Full Counter Anime Poll.
You know that thing going on with the voting and all. Having learned that a randomizer was involved, I think the poll selection wasn't entirely fair. I know there wasn't enough room for every series, but the selection seemed a little... off without certain well-known titles (*cough*Sailor*cough*Moon*cough*).
Now, I still encourage everyone to vote in the official polls. What I'm trying to do is make a list of favorite anime, as nominated by Otakuites. It would be more of a countdown than a poll, so as not to infringe on the official polls.
If you guys like this idea, I will amend this post with rules/how to nominate/other stuff. If there isn't much interest, I'll just scrap the idea. So, whacha think?
OK, we're gonna do this guys! Cue epic battle music.
I want this post to go viral. Er...
Da rules (read 'em 'cause you'll need 'em):
1. PM me with your 10 (for now-- I might ask for 10 more) favorite anime.
2. Nominations will be by PM ONLY. Comments with your 10 favorites will not be counted.
3. There does not have to be an order to your top 10.
4. Don't worry if you nominate the same series as someone else. That's actually a good thing because then that series will be ranked higher.
5. The length of the list depends on how many different anime are nominated.
6. The cutoff time is open-ended. I'll give a one-week warning before the polls close.
7. Series will be listed by "umbrella" names. That means, if a series has a sequel, reboot, or spinoff, they will be listed under the name of the original.
8. Please list the series by their English names, if they have been translated. You may disregard this if the official English title is the same as the Japanese. I only made this rule because I can't keep all the original Japanese names straight. If you want to include the original Japanese title, please do so in parentheses alongside the English title. If you're not sure what your favorite series is called in English, Anime News Network and Anime-Planet are good places to check.
9. I know that rules 7 and 8 have some "fuzziness" to them, so if you're unsure about something, feel free to let me know, and I'll do my best to clarify it for you.
Bonus AwesomePointz (TM):
1. Keep checking back. Things can change, so I'll post updates.
2. Promote this post! The more people who participate, the better. And I'll give you a present.
3. Have fun! (But you knew about that already.)
Update: We have our first submission! Keep 'em coming, guys. This also made me realize that I had to amend rule 8. To summarize, if the official English title is in the original Japanese, you don't have to translate it. I knew there would be some "fuzziness".
