Thoughts on /a/'s impeccable taste?
>>285219936why does /a/ suck so much ass
>>285219936Embarrassing
Was psg season 2 really that bad?
SHITTYZA ANIMESHUN
>>2852199365ch had better taste
>>285219936Where's the real chart that actually processes the data properly?
>>285219991>city not in the top 30chigyu butthurt is so funny
>>285219936Meh>>285219991This is a lot better. Sasuga Japan, they've been dunking on /a/ these last years.
>>285219991>City doesn't even appear
>impeccable
>>285219936All this shows is that CITYfags wanted it more. The severe lack of competition this year also helps
>>285219991>"Bro it's Japanese humor bro you wouldn't get it">Not even the Japanese like it
>>285219936I watched 2 of /a/'s top 10 all the way through2 incompleteand 1 I don't even recognize
>>285219991Everytime I see this chart I get taken back by how the shitty darker than black sequel made 2nd place in 2009. How the fuck
>>285219936>ZZZITY: The reddit animation
>>285219936City is the same as Mono, shit and unfunny
>>285219991I certainly prefer this chart to OP's.
>>285219991This is pretty bad
>>285220172Butthurt SHITTYfag
Not that bad when you remember the top choice is Reddit and #2 is the real /a/ AOTY
>>285219936Top 10 is ass except for CITY, Ruri and maybe Apocalypse Hotel and Shoushimin. Rest is fine.>>285219991Worse than /a/. Doubles down on moeblob. Neither are good.
>>285219936>>285219991Proof that moeshitters have no taste.
Six years ago, we told (You) that KyoAni would find a way, because KyoAni always finds a way.(You) responded with things like:>KyoAni finds a way to die>At least now with KyoAnus out of the picture, their shitty shows won't get in the way of the anime industry. >legitimately Kyoani is genuinely dead now. >Kyoani finds a way... employees just couldn't find a way out>gonna have a celebratory wank then go to bed>kyoani is everything wrong with anime concentrated>I guess Kyoani didn't find a way out>Kyoani finds a way... except for the way to fire exit>Because they're KyoAni who make the cheapest trash that are killing anime. Culling them gets them out of the way for the industry to improve themselves again. >more like kyoani burns away >21 didn't find their way out >Nothing will be the same for KyoAni now. They're going to plummet the same way Madhouse did after Kon died and Yuasa ditched them. >KyoAni is done as a studio. There's no way they can recover from this.>the one positive side of this whole affair is that it prevents moeshit anime from being made.>MOESHIT IS DEAD>Kyoanus is not gonna "find a way" out of this one.>There is no way KyoAni will bounce back from this. I expect all their future projects to be cancelled and the remaining staff/IP to be either absorbed into another company or changing to something completely different. >Kyoani didn't even find a way out of their own building>I don't think Kyoani will find a way this time. >Best thing about this fire is that it completely kills off that one Kyoanuslicker memespouter who spammed the board with "Kyoani finds away".>no way they're gonna get up form this kyoani is kill>Poor guy just wanted to photograph trains in peace when KyoAnus had to ruin it with moeshit>Good, moeshit needs to burn. Next on the list is isekai shit. >Good. Moeshit deserves to be destroyed.>burn down anime by popularizing moeshit, get burned down yourself>Good. Kill all moeshit animators.
Six years ago, (You) posted things like:>at last, we'll be freed from moeshit>KYOANUS LICKERS BTFO NO MORE MOESHIT>Let the moeshit burn and the creators of it die for their hand in making it.>Based /pol/chad taking care of moeshit personally to save Japanese birth rates.>Good. Anyone who makes moeshit should die in a fire.>Honestly who cares about one moeshit studio burning down>Fuck Kyoni and their moeshit.>The Fire has risen lads Moeshit is gone, forever.>FUCK MOESHIT FUCK KYOANUS LICKERS>I returned to /a/ after 9 years just to witness the death of moeshit>Finally an end to the era of moeshit.>Where were you when moeshit went up in flames?>I hope this incident causes a nationwide pushback against moeshit>Is this the end of moeshit era? I hope it is.>FUCK MOESHIT FUCK MOESHIT HAHAHAHA BURN IN HELL>the age of moeshit is officially over feels really fucking good>Its official, moeshit is dead and anime is saved>Maybe this will be a wake up call to studios to stop making pandering moeshit>Wow I'm glad those MOESHIT creators burned down>A studio who only made moeshit to pander to neckbeards was burned to the ground What a time to be alive, feels so good>No more moeshit Anime is saved. Thanks God>death of moeshit Absolutely based.>That man was a hero trying to rid the world of moeshit. History will absolve him.>moeshit is killed BASED ARSONIST>Trigger wins. Moeshit is cancer and fuck off back to r/anime if you think otherwise. >Moeshitters literally seething So fucking glad moeshit if finally ashes>They replaced true anime by moeshit and moeshit killed them.>moeshit studio burns down literally don't give a shit>This basically means less moeshit will be shitting up the industry.>moeshit deserves to be burnt out from the source>Feels fucking great. The less moeshit the better >finnly he is a hero he destroy all MOEshit anime producer>IT'S OVER MOESHIT IS FINISHED>I am so glad it happened. Moeshit is cancer that killed anime
>>285219936In this board we LOVE Trigger
(You) were happy that 36 people died because they made anime belonging to genres you don’t like. (You) were happy that 36 people died because (You) were jealous that the most skilled anime studio didn’t animate battleshonen.(You) celebrated with your Goku figures by drinking Modelo and ruining fruit with Tajin.(You) said KyoAni was finished, and (You) hoped you were right.(You) were wrong. We told you. KyoAni always finds a way.(You) were disappointed when Maid Dragon S2 was just as good as S1. (You) were once again disappointed when Hibike S3 was just as good as seasons one and two.However, it would be inaccurate to say that “disappointment” describes what (You) feel now.What (You) feel now is nothing short of full-blown rage.(You) are seething in your poncho because KyoAni actually came back from the fire, stronger than ever.(You) are seething in between checks out the window for ICE officers because KyoAni just won AOTY.KyoAni found a way, and (You) are mad as fuck.
>>285219936>Yuuki AoiReally now.
>>285219936It's embarrassing and simply sad to see such toplist.
>>285219936it's SHITTY
>>285220251Ruri and Shitty are the worst shows in top 10
I'm just waiting for the Top30 image.
>>285220297Did you vote for NPSG then?>>285220337They are cute, but not AOTY material. /a/ has no taste.
>>285219936What the form said:>Anime of the Year #1 (5 points)>Anime of the Year #2 (4 points)>Anime of the Year #3 (3 points)>Anime of the Year #4 (2 points)>Anime of the Year #5 (1 points)How the results were counted:>Anime of the Year #1 (1 points)>Anime of the Year #2, #3, #4, #5 (0 points), straight in the bin???
Reads like there’s mainly 3 posters in this thread so far.
>>285220389How different is the top 10 with this?
>>285220389This guy is clearly just rigging just put his favorites at the top. Not even trying to hide. What an asshole.
>>285219936>CITY at the top>Hibimeshi and Ruri nowhere near the top>EDOTS not Hibimeshi>Okitsura and Alma nowhere to be found (what the fuck?)>Sorairo Utility literally nowhere to be found either (no result on ctrl+f in the results thread)>Aoi Yuuki seiyuu of the year again for no fucking reason despite being irrelevant this yearDownright terrible. The only saving grace is that Apocalypse Hotel and Medalist are top 3.Japs unironically had much better tastes. >>285219991Thank you to the three other anons who voted for Shikishima, and all the anons who voted for Hibimeshi and its characters. You guys are my brothers.
>>285220425All me.
>>285220267>>285220287>>285220313Now I'm happy CITY won, fuck the faggots who celebrated arson.
>>285219936>>285219991Looks like I'm the only one with good taste in the whole world.

>>285219979Yes, it was truly abhorrent. Probably worse than Lazarus even
>>285219936Why is this year so incredibly skewed towards CGDCT? Where's our yearly standout shonen/ shonen season?
>>285220455Should've been Hina Youmiya's year
I started Clevatess. Any love for that?
>>285220474Shounenshitters got filtered off the site with the new captcha
>>285219979>>285220461Fuck no. It was AOTY. It also got #11 on the actual poll.Lazarus was quite bad however, althrough there were worse shows. DOTY for sure.
>>2852199912025 is the first time I felt such a disagreement with the nips.but particularly the fact that Momentary Lily was included at all screams of contrarians
>>285220494yeah
>>285220516momentary lily was good, faggot
>>285220494It was solid!>>285220516They seem very similar to me. But I'm not into CGDCT.
>>285220474The shounenshit they voted for this year was chainsaw man getting movie of the year
>Sucking nippon cock as if Ruri deserves top 3 and pretending they don't overvalue kyoani slopJust accept that this year was trash /a/.
>>285219936Never gave a shit and still don't.
Btw here are the resultshttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1v44S28esKAMeWPXsnHylbnIk3kBFqBXSURR9L7jLkkE/htmlviewY Aoi won by 1 vote.City won by 10.
>>285220516Well yeah the whole year sucked the correct way to handle this would be not awarding a winner but /a/ gave it to SHITTY so
>>285220616This year was dogshit, and /a/ has bad taste. 2026 seems to be a lot better.
>>285220586Movie poll is skewed because anime movies take forever to release outside Japan.
>>285220474It's over here >>285215365
>>285220461for me it wasTBATE as WAOTS since I didn't even bother with Lazarus.
>>285220313I like KyoAni. Last year I voted for Hibike Euphonium S3 as AOTY. But CITY is boring, it only has nice animation but nothing else. It should have been in the top 20, but not number 1.
>>285219936A bronze medal for Inori is unsurprisingly very fitting
>>285220750>Hello, I am from opposite world.Hibike is a boring drama and CITY is pure fun and joy.
>>2852204321. CITY2. Apocalypse Hotel3. Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi (+1)4. Medalist (-1)5. Ruri no Houseki (+4)6. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (-1)7. Shoushimin Series 2nd Season (-1)8. Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi9. New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT (+2, new entry)10. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season11. BanG Dream! Ave Mujica (-4, dropped from top 10)
>>285220773Hibike was gripping and incredible. Then again, Hibike was pure nostalgia as someone whose high school life revolved around concert/jazz/marching band.
>>285220778>5. Ruri no Houseki (+4)What a robbery. Pollanon confirmed anti-mineralogy
>>285219936>>285219991>nips put Uma S2 higher than /a/>/a/ put Cinderella Gray higher than nips
>>285219936Shoushimin too low, didn't watch the rest besides Apoho and TakopiYamato was great but I have no clue where its wonky releases would go.>>285219991>Orb and GnosiaI guess so.
>>285220750>>285220773Maid Dragon is the only good thing they've released in the last decade. It's been sad to see
Well, if city was botted then the spam was also randomized to the point you can't tell it apart from real.
>>285220260>>285220313kek these two posts four posts apart
Hotel Apocalypse being anywhere near the top 5 is a travesty. It simply was not a good show.It's sad that these polls are just nothing but co-ordinated efforts to get their community's favorite show ranked as high as possible
>>285220845>It's sad that these polls are just nothing but co-ordinated efforts to get their community's favorite show ranked as high as possibleThat's an extremely roundabout way of saying "people that posted on the site the poll is made for voted for what they liked the most"
What was your WAOTY?TBATE for me. Irredeemable.>>285220706I did bother with Lazarus. It was still worse.>>285220778Better purely out of virtue of having P&S on there.>>285220818Orb was snubbed hard last year.
>>285220015>cityshitty
Am I the only one who never saw Shoushimin mentioned/didn't know about it until the poll? and I 've heard/known about all other shows in the top 20
>>285220516Medalist is a better show than CITY so I'm siding with nips on this one
>>285220924yes, you are the only one
Hyouka was the last good thing KyoAni created.
>>285220924Majiwife!
>>285220924That means you don't watch seasonal anime because every episode had a thread.
>>285220924I watched it a month or 2 ago by pure coincidence searching through tags if that counts.
>>285220516Momentary Lily was endgame level anime, the kind you appreciate after you've seen 800+ shows
>>285220924I'm vaguely aware of it from a "I'm smart because I watch anime based on books, and no, I don't actually read books" shitposter.>>285220954Wrong in both interpretations. Hyouka is YA writing comparable to a LN and KyoAni has made better stuff afterwards.
Why is anime so female audience leaning now? Even all the "shonen"?
>>285219991CITY GOT 46TH IN THE 2CH/5CH YET /a/ VOTED IT AOTY. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU NIGGAS THINKING?!
>place that isn't /a/ voted for x instead of yAnd?
>>285220778>watanare still can't get top 10Rare moment where I can say that yurifags got robbed.
>>285220998That's Nukitashi not CITY retardbro
>>285219991>teibou 5th placehell yeah
>>285220998This is easily explainable by CITY being a Prime exclusive, Nips not subscribing to Prime, and Nips not pirating.Nobody fucking watched it in Japan.
>>285221051it didn't deserve anything
>>285221053That's even worse
>>285220798It was a lot closer (22 points) to being third than it was sixth (45 points). It was 120 points ahead of 9th place where it was in the """official""" rankings.Essentially, a lot of anons would've had it as 2nd-3rd anime of the year, but not their number 1 so it got fuck all.
Man, we really are a dead site huh?
>what does SOTY mean?>I've never heard of x show>I've never heard of y show>where is my favorite shounenshit???Nothing like the new year period to bring all the newfags and tourists out of the woodwork
>>285220998How much total votes does the jp poll have? 3+ thousand?We have a fraction of that.
>>285220924You must not spend much time here outside of generals, because I saw it mentioned in half the seasonal show threads I was in last year.I still need to watch the first season.
>>285219936>Apocalypse Hotel 2nd>Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 10th>NPSG isn't even in the listHonestly, not as bad as I thought it would be.
>>285220778What's the point-based ranking when filtered for people who watched 20+ shows per season?
>>285220998Anon thats not CITY BECAUSE CITY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE TOP 50
>>285221105>Essentially, a lot of anons would've had it as 2nd-3rd anime of the year, but not their number 1 so it got fuck all.I'm one of those. It was my second favorite of the year.
>>285220998This is super embarrassing now
>>285219936If we ignore CITY then the top 3 would be Apoc Hotel, Medalist, and Ninkoro, which were all good shows
>corporate bootlicker country where people refuse to pirate and CITY airs only on a streaming service nobody subscribes to: nobody watches it>based 4chan: CITY AOTYThis isn't difficult to comprehend.
>>285221231>>285221068>CITY airs only on a streaming service nobody subscribes to: nobody watches itNice cope
>>285221231CITY wasn't the only prime earth exclusive anime retard
>>285221051It simply wasn't that good. Just a classic case of yuritards ignoring everything else that aired and getting uppity just like in 2018.
>>285220998>>285221053>>285221081That's exactly where Nukitrashy belongs, in the fucking gutter
>>285219936Im sorry but almost EVERY choice was fucking garbage it's the /a/ equivalent to reddit hivemind.>CUTE LOLI NINJAS!>IS THAT NICHIJO!!?!?!?>IM OLD LIKE THE KAMEN RIDER GUY>and medalist>apocalypse "2 good episodes that were mostly for the setting" hotel>YUUKI AOI IN ALL FIELDS!!!!Almost nothing in this top 10 is an actual top 10 anything from the year it's fucking crazyLike there was so much better shit for basically every category and none of it was even close it felt like. absolute fucking GARBAGE taste I have never disagreed with the poll results to this degree ever
>>285219991>medalist wins gold medal>apocalypse hotel in the top 3>city nowhere to be foundZased.
>>285221269>Nice copeHe says, while seething over /a/'s AOTY.
>>285221335What's your personal AOTY?
>>285221051Watanare was a good show but I liked Ninkoro more
KyoAni is better than your favorite studio.
>>285221118It's about the same number of voters as /a/.
>OMG RENAKO GOT IN THE BATH WITH ANOTHER GIRL AOTY SQUEEEE
>>285220267>>285220287>>285220313Based and KyoanipilledCITY mogged and mindbroke f/a/ggots this year
>>285221405It was pure, distilled kino.
>>285221147Don't know. The >X show sections only have the data for the #1 votes.The best you'll get is the 'AOTY - Weighted Tally*' so using that:1. Apocalypse Hotel (+1)2. Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi (+2)3. CITY (-2)4. Medalist (-1)5. Ruri no Houseki (+4)6. Shoushimin Series 2nd Season7. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (-2)8. Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi9. Gnosia (+6, NEW ENTRY)10. BanG Dream! Ave Mujica (-3)>*It takes the total number of votes a show received (filtered to those who also filled out the Completed field) and divides it by the percentage of people who gave it a shot (completed + dropped). This equalizes the votes as if each show had the same viewership.Edit: Had the wrong +/- symbols on Uma and Bang.
>>285221460Much better list
Was the Amogus anime actually decent? I assumed it was gonna be just a big shit.
>>285221483>Wasit hasn't ended yet
>>285221460Better, in terms of adaptions though it was tough for me to choose between NinKoro and Ruri, ApoHotel was probably the best Original of the year.
>>285221460Another hard earned SHAFTgod victory over Kyoanus
>>285220998Where did Monogatari rank last year?
>>285221051Bad Girl was better
>>285219936Who voted for shitty
>>285221615Redditors.
>>285221633>HURRRRRRRRRRRRRR>DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRCITY ranked #20 in their Summer 2025 poll because their taste is much worse than ours, as evidenced by One Piece being #3 in that poll.
>>285221615/a/ voted for it. And who keeps shitposting it? Solo Leveling shills.>>285214998>>285215156>>285215479>>285216429
Now you realize, without the SHITTY botting, Apocalypse Hotel would have been AOTY
>>285221672shitty is garbage but you can take solace in that it's not as bad as Watanare
>>285220440Based hibimonobro
ninkoro was trash only yuriniggers and shaft cultists liked
>>285221681But what would have been AOTY without the Apocalypse Hotel botting?
where's the top 30 point based ranking image
/a/ is a auraless boardsimple as
>>285221709I hate anime with female MCs and I liked Ninkoro
>>285221677Honestly, even as someone who doesn't despise Solo Leveling, the worldbuilding is so insultingly bad that I can't ever consider it anything higher than shit-tier, no matter how much sakugafags jerk it off.It's literally fanfic-tier.
Reminder that the only reason Shitty won is because OP just decides that only the #1 AOTY choice counts despite putting no mention of that anywhere so no shit Kyoani cultists won a poll when there is all of 1 anime they cared about this year. OP also just decides that Takopii doesnt count for main awards because 6 full episodes isnt enough or some shit and moved another series that people were voting for between sections multiple days in effectively killing its chances and fucking with multiple peoples votesAlso did he post the full results I want to see all the different votes for best girl
>>285221749CITY got first in the ranked choice voting too.
>>285221711medalist
We do this exact same song and dance over the 1st place winner every fucking year
>>285220998>>285221161>beat by Dr. STONE
I can't stop laughing at the absolute seething over the best anime studio winning AOTY with what was actually unironically AOTC.
>>285221779this year is warranted though
>>285221769But what would've been AOTY without the Medalist botting?
>>285219936>Yuuki AoiSo, based on the pattern, we can be sure that her characters this year won't be that good, but whatever she voices in 2027 will be great?
Nice to know she'll never have to worry about rent again now that she's living rent free in the head of so many anons.
>>285221483It started to stall a bit with the past few episodes but it's pretty damn good overall. Hopefully they regain the momentum and hold onto it as they diverge from the source material.
>>285221820
>>285221787I bet five yen its the guy that got butthurt because people kept telling him to fuck off with his south park posts
>Reminder that the only reason Shitty won is because OP just decides that only the #1 AOTY choice counts despite putting no mention of that anywhere so no shit Kyoani cultists won a poll when there is all of 1 anime they cared about this year.
>>285219936>CITY >#1based
>>285221813The pattern will be broken by Ao-tan winning again for Kaiten
>>285221855Chiwa Saito will win for that
>>285221843>>285221832>>285221820I like how you can tell how unfunny City was just from these out of context webbums
>>285221833You say that about everyone and everything you don't like
>I like how you can tell how unfunny City was just from these out of context webbums
>>285221813So Meguca's getting delayed again?
>Now you realize, without the SHITTY botting, Apocalypse Hotel would have been AOTY
>>285219979Yes, it lost it's edge.
>>285221615It was botted by a schizo or a couple of schizos, he wasn't even hiding it in the threads previuous the announcements one.
>It was botted by a schizo or a couple of schizos, he wasn't even hiding it in the threads previuous the announcements one.
I haven't seen this much shonenfag copium since Rukia lost.
Was it a good year?
>>285221970I enjoyed it
>>285219991>top 10 Medalist, Ruri, AH, Hibimeshi, Ninkoro, TakopiYeah, it's better in every metric than the /a/ one, Kyoanus tards decided to ruin the poll cheating like retards because we can't have anything good nowadays.
>>285219991>Ruri over Apocalypse HotelEven as an assman I can't stand by that
>>285221551You Shaftfags have no room to speak after voting Monogatari Off & Monster Season to 4th place last year. It was literal AI slop.
>>285219936CITY wasn't my top choice but it's sure as fuck a better AOTY candidate than shit like OPM, Mushoku or Frieren
>>285221843KyoAnus dickriders would make even a slideshow featuring feces of different shapes win the AotY title.
>>285221970>Goodbye my ballskek
>>285221970No, It was godawful
>>285219936There's not much value in these lists to begin with. Every anime has merits and demerits that can't be meaningfully compared using a simple placing on a list.
>>285221970Wait, what happened to Gainax?
>>285221970A shitty collage for a good year
>KyoAnus dickriders would make even a slideshow featuring feces of different shapes win the AotY title.This nigga's butt is evaporating cum because he is steaming with anger.
>>285221970It was pretty good for anime, kind of shitty in general, and meh for 4chan.The sweet embrace of death was so close, and yet so far.
>>285221999>Y-you cheated!!Yes yes, whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>285221889>>285221900>>285221932>>285222083Not beating the schizo allegations, shittybro

>>285222021SHAFT, unafraid to use experimental, innovative, low-budget techniques?NO WAI. SHOCKING.THEY'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, ESPECIALLY DURING SEASON 1 OF HIDAMARI SKETCH.
>>285219936eh I think shoushimin and ninkoro were better than city. also no alma in the top 10?
>>285219991>maebashi witches #8incredibly based
>>285222105It should be lower and Bad Girl higher
I'm still salty over 'Moyo not winning best seiyuu last year. She put out a generational performance and you guys failed her.https://youtu.be/ornu2suQd2Y
>>285222127Why would Alma be in the top 10?
>>285222083>replying with insults that feature gay sex, cum, and assYup, I see that someone (You) is just an angry KyoAnus dickrider.
>>285222040I think you got it mixed up with SHAFT dickriders. They're the slideshow specialists after all.
>>285219936hotelbros how do we feel about this?
>>285222139Mayu was a mistake so I gave no votes to Euph S3
>>285221970Yup.
>>285222139If this garbage wasn't shat out straight out of the kyoanus people would've ignored this show
>>285222156SHITTY
>>285219936based and high t>>285219991>moeshit garbagecringe and low t
>>285222160Kuroe Mayu did nothing wrong.
Word on the street is that kyoanus people already have their bots ready to vote the upcoming Hibike movies and Ruri Dragon in the next polls.
>>285222140it was better than kusuriya and ave mujica at the very least
>>285219936HAHA FUCK YOU NPSGFAGGOTS, no yuri incest no AOTY
>>285222199...except for be a waste of space and good for nothing eye candy
>>285222116Yup, keep defending AI slop because it was made by SHAFT. You're definitely not proving the stereotypes true.
>>285222222>Luddites
>>285222221She's cute so it's okay
>>285222228>SHAFT niggers are AI shillsI'm not surprised
>>285222220The yuri incest is in 7th place though
>>285222235That isn't enough.
>>285222251When you're as cute as Mayu it is
>>285222247>yuri incestThe director says nope
>>285219936>There was one good anime this yearOWARI DA
>>285222261It isn't since Kanade exists and is a much better and cuter girl that deserved Mayu's screen time.
>>285222021>>285222222>>285222239How is that AI exactly?
The dude who does the top 30 collage is gone
>>285222268based director, yurifags get the rope
>>285222286come on man, look at how malformed the roofs are
>>285222315That's actually an argument for it not being AI generated.
>>285222286Do you honestly think what you posted is comparable?
>>285222286Not him or a Luddite, but it's very clearly AI.The part I circled here is just the most glaring example but there are a lot of errors in that image that humans would just not make, and if you actually used AI a lot you'd recognize them as the kind of small errors that are typical of AI.
Fuckin checked dude
>>285221147Actually, turns out there was a section where it listed how many shows people watched and their votes. The second tab (Tally).43 anons watched >80 shows for the year (not all 20+ per season, but going with the yearly average).1. Medalist1. Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi (74 points)3. Apocalypse Hotel3. Shoushimin Series 2nd Season (72 points)5. Ruri no Houseki (69 points)6. Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi (59 points)7. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (50 points)8. BanG Dream! Ave Mujica (37 points)9. Gnosia (23 points)10. CITY THE ANIMATION10. Toujima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai10. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season (16 points)
>>285219991>pedolist on topIt seems Nips will never beat the allegations
>>285222420And that's a good thing
>>285222412This is it, this is the ranking.
>>285222412I watched ~113 shows, so that's me
Why yes, I watched over 80 shows in 2025, voted for CITY for AOTY AND refused to vote 2nd through 5th place for AOTY so as to deny all other shows any points.
>>285222412>people who watch a lot of anime are lolicons
>>285222412SHAFT TRIUMPH
>>285220117You have gay
>>285222412Out of curiosity, what would it look like for 30+ per season?
>>285222297It's only for the forced incestfags.
>>285222339>>285222357I just posted that because it's an example of how easily people are convinced that AI is real art and non-AI art is AI art, and that predates Wazamonogatari's production. But the reason it's not AI generated is because, well, just look at the credits. The only background artists exclusive to Wazamonogatari were fairly established staff, most of whom had worked with Shaft before. The fact that it also wasn't changed in the BD also implies a lot about it.
>>285222412this is the real ranking
>>285219936>ninkoro in 4th The wrong ninja show took that place
>>285222499I AM SHOCK
>>285222585agreed
>>285220461Oh, chudies only hate it for being woke? Thought ya’ll were serious
>>285222412SEVEN people voted for bye bye earth. Amazing.
>>285221970>>285222065Gainax is dead for real now.
>>285222616no, that's points, not number of people voting
>>285222412>Sentai Red that highBASED
>>285222616Real niggas know
>>285222515
People who got Virgin Punk in their countries, was it any good or was it Wizard Barristers tier
pedolist LOST
>>285222616and I was one of them
>>285219936>/a/ chartMore like, chart made by only one kyotrannie fan
>>285222412The people who watch a lot of anime and have enough taste to not watch 20 shows in a season as weak as fall look pretty similar to me, proof of our shared refinement
>>285222527Done. Also noticed an error in how I did it the first time which fucked up all the results, so the previous post + picture are completely wrong. Oops.
>>285222902pls post spreadsheet for all best girl oty votes
>>285222902the list gets more based each revision
>>285222902UmaGODS proving once again that they are true anime chads
>>285219936Actual 2025 AotY is 7th on this shit list.
>>285222902>>285222920How much further can we go? Who's the one anon who watched the most anime all year, and what were their rankings?
>>285222902>>285222412So the small portion of /a/ that actually watches anime has more than respectable taste.
>>285222965except whomever voted for gcucks
>>285222934This seems to be the one with the highest number that I could see but I'm 99% sure they're full of shit
>>285222412So fucked up the sorting on the old post. Thought it was static numbers but it was still in a formula which completely ruined it.Sorry.Here's the proper 80+ anime watcher list.1. Medalist (55 points)2. Apocalypse Hotel (47 points)3. Ruri no Houseki (41 points)4. Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi (39 points)5. Shoushimin Series 2nd Season (37 points)6. Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi (36 points)7. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (35 points)8. BanG Dream! Ave Mujica (29 points)9. Gnosia (23 points)10. CITY THE ANIMATION (19 points)
>>285219936It's fucking shit.>>2852199915ch is even worse.
>>285222929ave mujica was trash and way higher than it should be
>>285223039SHITTY shouldn't even be in the top 50, based nips got it right
Hello Dear my Friends:D
KusurigaMedalistKowloonWatenareTojimaNo idea why anyone else would vote for anything else. Then only redditors give a shit about these polls
I only watched reze movie and takopi so if people didnt rate those highly I must assume they didnt watch themMedalist manga was good so it makes sense to be high if the adaption was okay. The list seems to be leaning towards moefags spam voting?
>>285223044mutsutard...
>>285223090kowloon was ruined by literal faggotry, and watanare is harem dogshit propped up by yuritards only
>>285219936The best seiyuu category continues to be a trainwreck. Sorry, but the Aoi Yuuki meme that Discord keeps forcing every other year will never be funny.
>>285223033I'm pleasantly surprised that I wasn't the only one to vote for Boueibu.
>>285219936Why was owarimonogatari s2 and zoku owarimonogatari not on the list?
What show will be botted to the top in 2026?
>>285223134that's what made it far more interesting than shonenslop this place loves so much.
>>285223194Frieren
Whats the method the polls use to verify peoples id so they cant vote twice?
>>285219936>my 2022 AOTY is Bocchi the Rock>my 2023 AOTY is Frieren>my 2023 runner-up is Onimai>my 2024 AOTY is MahoAko>my 2025 AOTY is CITYY'all are alright.
>>285223207Whatever it is it sucks since all seven of my votes are there
>>285219936They really fucked up big time by not including Takopii and Food Court with the rest of the shows.
>285223218>anon is redditwho would've thought
>>285223207There is nothing really, you can even use the same google account to vote as many times as you want
>>285223230so why even bother saving a list that says "/a/s" opinion when its a botters opinionits just mundane lying
>>285219936I'm surprised at how bad this year's list is, I have never disagreed so much with the Top 10, the only anime I liked from there were Ruri and Shoushimin
>>285223224see>>285221672You are so fucking mad.
I got filtered by City's first episode. Is it worth picking back up?
>>285223230>you can even use the same google account to vote as many times as you wantUh, no, if you revisit the poll while logged into the same Google account it clearly tells you that you've already voted but can change your vote until the poll closes.
>>285223246It's literally AOTY bro
>>285222902I wanted to say "this is the list", but City above Shoushimin is just dumb. Shoushimin has Kengo, and Kengo’s mere existence is funnier than the entirety of City the Animation.
>>285223239both OVA and movie formats work better for storytelling than the 12x 20min epsmovies have international money making potential so I assune studios are more interested in that over using a tv anime as a marketing tool to sell merch in japan
>>285223029>I'm 99% sure they're full of shitYou can add 1% since his AOTY was only his 3rd place for the season it aired
>>285223246I watched the intro with the bird and then immediately dropped it.
>>285223246no, but don't believe me, look at how much it got droppedclearly ony kyoanustards stuck with it
Is there a proper rank for non pedophiles? Jesus Christ
Genuinely, what do people see in Apocalypse Hotel?The episode where she comes back from space, becomes a half tank gyaru delinquent and then gets gaslit by the tanukis absolutely ruined whatever interest that show had left.Yachiyo is cute, I get that, but the anime was not good because it's an original and weird
>>285223246Nope. People are scizo about it being good. I regret watching it to the end. Its the ultimate engagement bait for twitter
>>285223246No, it's not funny at all>muh Japanese humorNot even Japs cared about this show
>>285223299It's just fun. The only time it got boring was the sand worm hunt.
>>285223246Yeah. The first episode really was not that good, you can tell Arawi was out of his game when he started writing it. Within a few episodes the characters get fleshed out, there are running gags and the real magic of the series (the CITY) starts to take shape. Arawi figures out what theme he's going for with it, he does it well, and kyoani adapted it well.
>>285223298Kill yourself retard
>>285223246yes, but don't believe me, look at how it won aotyclearly only battleshonentards dropped it
>>285223298Yeah. Think it was:#1 Toujima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai#2 Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai#3 Mushoku no Eiyuu#4 Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra#5 Ishura 2nd Season
>>285223246No, it's just the kyoanus cult out in full force. If you thought nichijou was unfunny you might be surprised at how much less funny a show could be.
>>285223348>The first episode really was not that good, you can tell Arawi was out of his game when he started writing it.No, they basically skipped the entire first volume.
>>285223299>the anime was not good because it's an original and weirdactually it isoriginal and weird anime are the most fun to watch with /a/, and apohote managed to be the weird original that was the least off-putting this year. I can understand why Maebashi Witches and Momentary Lily were ignored but it does surprise me that Turkey didn't get more votes
Kneekura wonNagumo wonWako wonWhy do you have such a hard time processing this fact?
>>285223437While I enjoyed Turkey quite a bit it missed the top spot since it was clearly rushed and had some plot points either unresolved or mentioned out of nowhere at the end. Also the threads were full of schizo spamming.
>>285219936Shitty win, honestly disappointed with /a/ taste now
>>285223241Going for ratings huh...>CITY, #11 popularity, got dunked harder than One PIece, #62.You can guess why anon.
>>285223299>The episode where she comes back from space, becomes a half tank gyaru delinquent and then gets gaslit by the tanukis absolutely ruined whatever interest that show had left.But that was one of the best episodes.>>285223437>but it does surprise me that Turkey didn't get more votesTurkey unfortunately attracted the annoying schizo retards who shit up the threads because one of the girls in a show with an almost entirely female cast breathed in the general direction of a man, so they had to fill every thread with their annoying schizo bickering.
>>285223459>Kneekura won>Nagumo won>Wako wonAll false, all mogged by Osanai. If City is so good why did it not win best girl, best boy, best VA, best OP, best ED, best OST, or any other character whatsoever? Did kyoanus drones actually watch the show or do they just blindly vote like the cultists they are?
>>285223471theres no id verification on the poll so its not relevant
>>285223486>webmholy kino
>>285219936>>285219991Where is Chad Leveling and Chad Piece?
>>285223489Best OP would have been reasonable too
>>285220954Trvth nvke, finally someone is sane enough to appreciate how good hyouka is
>>285223489>best girl, best boy, best VA, best OP, best ED, best OSTDungeon Meshi did not win any of these last year either.
>>285223489Not winning every category proves that it wasn't just blindly voted for by cultists, retard.
>>285223033Medalist is the people's champ.
>>285223556If you actually look at the spreadsheet there were tons of """people""" who voted City AOTY and nothing else
>>285221360Uma musume :)
>>285223564And it still won after filtering those out
>>285223486No, it was a dumb and stupid episode
>>285223556That assumes the cultists had seen enough shows to actually fill out every category
>>285223564Smart. Votes 2-5 didn't matter so why waste time on them?
>>285223579The original thread was hilarious. A dozen different ways to arrange the data to cope and in all but the most absurd filtering, CITY still won.
>>285219936
>>285223615City lost after the only filtering that mattered, the filtering of fucking casuals.
>I won>I just needed to filter out the people I didn't agree with
>>285223564>there were tons of """people"""8
>>285223654If you actually watch 15+ shows every season you're not some kind of patrician retard. You just have shit taste and low standards
>>285219936The only good anime in the top 10 is Medalist, and who in the flying fuck even watched Maomao show after the first season? Literally nobody was talkng about the second season.
>>285223713If you don't watch anime you don't belong on the anime board and have no right to comment on what the best anime are
>>285223654>your vote only counts if you have no life and complete >15 shows every season even in a trash season like fall
>>285223716they were, just not on /a/ since analschizo ruined all the threads
>>285223713We used to respect people who watched a lot of shows.
>>285223733Yeah I watched at least 19 shows the first three seasons of 2025 but only 12 in Fall, which did suck.This current season is also pretty ass outside of Seihantai na Kimi to Boku and I'm assuming Frieren.But Fall was really poor.
>>285223733Watching 20 shows a season doesn't take more than 3 episodes a day
>>285223733Yes, now get out of my site you fucking casual.
>>285223755Fall was the worst season in years.
>>285223774lol where is he going to go? Kyoanus bootlickers been on this board for over a decade
>>285223713how many anime did you finish from your backlog in 2025? Must be a lot since you had so much time from not watching any of the airing anime
>>285223726Are you braindead? There's a difference between watching anime and sitting through an entire season of whatever steaming shit gets shoveled in your face just to see your number go up. The latter is tasteless thoughtless MAL bullshit
>>285223756Some days can have more shows concentrated on them, and that doesn't count multi cour shows. There also were not 20 shows worth watching in fall.
How to make /a/oty good with one simple trick
>>285223743>not on /a/Checks out, this poll is mostly discord and reddit.
>>285223796>There's a difference between watching anime and watching anime>actually watching anime means not watching animeUh huh
>>2852238012016, 2018 and 2025 are exceptions but ignoring first place is a good rule of thumb.
>>285223825No you can throw 2015, 2023, and 2024 in there anon. Some of us aren't pedos or trannies.
>>285223801Alright now, chill on Flip Flappers and YoriMoi.
>>285219936>Turkey 23rdI always thought /a/ had more soul but I guess not
>>285219991>city doesn't even appearholy fuck, I underestimated how much city was botted. Is there even anyone expecting the one schizo who likes that anime??
>>285223856Knowing it was a fun wabisabi anime but not good enough to actually vote for is proof of Turkeyfags good taste
>>285222021shinbo himself directed the episode so it was pure kino, kill yourself
>>285223884For the gorillionth time, nobody in Japan watched CITY because it was a Prime exclusive, nobody there subscribes to Prime, and nobody there pirates.
>>285223856In bowling there's always a second pollhttps://strawpoll.com/NPgxeparrZ2
>>285223898Well, if we're going to use this guy's criteria >>285223884, only bots and schizos liked Monogatari Off & Monster Season.
>>285223905holy fuck, turkey won!
Turkey mentioned
>>285223901Anon, they have these devices called television they can use to watch shows too.
>>285223917Well it was an abema exclusive so its availability to the average nip is actually a very nuanced problem so it's not that simple
>>285223901>and nobody there pirates.lmao believing jap bullshit. Check the peerlist on anything from nyaa and see that they do
Turkiye was great and all but let's not forget Momentary Lily, Nyaight of the Living Cat, or Maebashi Witches
>>285223901>Tokyo MX, ABC, TV Aichi, AT-X, BS11 don't existAre all CITYtards like this?
>>285223946The actual reason is that 5ch doesn't like to vote for things that aren't their show's first season and also every arc except Nadeko Draw was shit
>>285223961MAJI YABAI! Most GUILTY post in this whole FUCKING thread!
>>285219936No Trigger = Legit
>>285223946More nips use Abema than Amazon Prime, plus Monogatari was on other streaming services while CITY was only on Amazon Prime.
>>285223985The wabisabi crew never votes.
>>285223961 I dondon don't want to remember momentary kappou any more than necessary.
>>285221460That's the description for the Weighted field. Despite the similar name, Weighted Tally has an entirely different methodology. It adds up how many anime were watched by each entry (extrapolated very imprecisely for people who didn't fill in those fields by adding up all the unique shows they voted for elsewhere) and assigns that many points to the show they put in first, that many -1 points for the show they put in second, etc. There is no correction for viewership and no discarding of votes based on filling out completed fields (since we treat every entry as if it did). In theory it should be a more granular way to award voting power based on experience and derive a more expert consensus without totally disregarding the lazy voters and casual watchers, but in practice it's going off a really shaky foundation and the points values of the big watchers can't be spread out properly since they only pick their top five instead of ranking everything. That also means there's no in-built compensation for low-viewer shows like there should be since people with lots of watched shows are less likely to vote for any given show in that list.It's just an experiment I did a few years ago to see if I could do enough statistics to make it look like /a/ had good taste (impossible) that no one ever noticed. The results were generally very similar, if not identical, to other metrics and the underlying assumptions are too flawed to make it feel worth writing up yet another alt rankings post for it. Kudos for actually digging into the data on the sheet instead of just shitposting about the image, though.
>>285223963Except for Hibike Euphonium apparently because it's just that good
So this retard is just going to ignore that nobody watches anime on Disney yet Medalist got ranked high everywhere, despite the fact that the only way to watch it is with spanish subtitles or raw.
>>285224018Momentary Lily is forever
>>285219936I'm happy Milky Subway got the recognition it deserved
>>285224031Medalist was on all the usual nip streaming sites.
>>285223927>>285223962Nobody watches TV anymore, uncs.
>>285221460this list is better
>>285224069unc hobby, unc audience
>>285224069Japs still do
>>285224069TV is still decently popular in Japan compared to the west, even its still been overtaking by streaming.
>>285223961
>>285224185I imagine the fans of this show overlap a lot with fans of Muumuu and Kawaisugi Crisis
>>285222965That's the same for the whole internet anon, even in shitholes like reddit or xitter the top 1% will have decent taste compared to the rabble.
I totally forgot that I picked up and dropped Ameku Takao. Probably could've increased its DOATS by one.
I kinda miss Zenshu. Guess I should finally get around to watching those Arslan OVA's
>>285221051Watatabe was better
>>285223743>analschizoThat's innit
>>285219936I dont believe this list because Kemono Friends is way too low.
>>285223033Pretty much what I voted, shitty winning feells so artificial it's laughable, discordfags ruin everything.
>>285222268that's just his interpretation
>>285224330The canon interpretation
>>285224248>Ame to Kimi to>Kinoko Inu>Ramen AkanekoI love pet shows
>>285224346That kind of conformist way of thinking is why post-modernism needed to be invented in the first place
>>285224024Why do you only count first place votes for the official winner?You appear to know enough about statistics to understand how silly that is.>99 anons vote #1 A, #2 B, #3 C>1 anon votes #1 C, #2 A, #3 B>Official rankings: #1 A (99), #2 C (1), #3 B (0)
>AOTS Yaiba>1 votewow, really just me huhwell at least I know other animators agree with mealso I'm just happy Shoushimin (AOTY) placed high, I didn't see it get much attention outside of /a/, so few viewers but those that did appreciate how special it was. top 5 was always going to be a shit show around here
>>285224532Maybe if you B fags had actually voted you wouldn't be ridiculed.
>>285219991I think 2ch's votes show 2ch's bent toward moeshit.I think 5ch's votes show outright contrarianism.
>yfw this will be voted anime of the year in 2027 because it's by Kyoani
>>285224676
Shaft vs Kyoanus war will be back on in 2026
I thought Kyoani got burnt to the ground for being plagiarists?
>>285221906Its
>>285219936>opm and matsu aoty 2015>opm and matsu waoty 2025It hurts...
>>285221460The guy clearly just rigged the results.
>>28522481410 years is a lot of time for anon to grow and their tastes change.
I'm always told these polls don't matter but every year when the results are announced, they generate so much coping and butthurt that they must matter a lot to some people.
>>285219991Am I blind Where's CITY
>>285224946In the trash where it belongs.
>>285224932/a/ is one of the best places on the internet to discuss anime, so when it comes time to label something as /a/'s AotY it's rather serious business.Perfectly understandable that people get upset when pure shit like CITY wins.
>>285223801>cutting out Sora YoriYuru Camp is my favourite anime of all time and I still think Sora Yori was the anime of the year.
>>285224954Did you hear that guys? He called it serious business!
>>285224960You have shit taste. Sora Yori was overrated as fuck.
>>285224749pretty sure it didn't fully burn down and they went right back to work
What possible reason is there for believing that OP really tallied the votes and didn't just declare whatever winners he wanted?
>>285225145you can tally it yourself, retard
>>285223801>hurr let's put the lesbian rock as both best girl and best boy depending on her hair cutwe were so gay and woke back then
>>285219936>CITYStopped reading there
>>285219936honestly looks like most people here just don't give a shit about this and like asking people to vote in a series threads would easily sway results
if more than 30 users participated in this, then it was just bot-shit.
>>285220625???
>>285224946lolNot even top 50 btw
>>285225145You can see the responses here >>285220625 and tally it yourself if you want
>>285223033Now this looks pretty much perfect. personally I consider Ave Mujica to deserve higher spot but I also realize it's by default more niche than titles above it so I don't mind the placement, happy it's in top10. KyoAni is basically obligatory regardless of quality (meh this year imo) but it doesn't usurp the top spot which is good.All other shows there are the type of anime which feel like they should be in the AOTY top10 for the year. Amazing job, working as intended.
>>285224946the nips don't bot
>>285225618It's funny you say that because the nips were talking about Medalist being botted.
>>285225618that's pretty racist of you to make such a sweeping generalization
>>285225702nah that looks natty af
>>285223033Could you please do the same but with halved requirements? 80 seasonal shows a year is pretty tough for wagies when taking into account time spent discussing the shows too and it obviously isn't counting catching up on older titles.
>>285225702Good adaptation of a manga which won awards did well? Unthinkable!
>>285225752Normalfag lifehaver
>>285221763Russians hacked the vote
>>28522575280 shows per year is 20 shows per season which works out to fewer than three episodes per day which is only one hourWhen I was a full time wageslave I could still easily do double those numbersSpend less time shitposting on 4chan and more time watching anime if you want your opinion to mean anything
>>285225797That's such a disingenuous calculation. Requires skipping ops, eds, skipping parts of the episode, ignores the time spent searching up and downloading the episode, requires not following related accounts... Seriously hampers the enjoyment of each series. Removing discussion time defeats the point of engaging in the hobby in thefirst place. Can youeven consider yourself part of /a/'staste if you didn't talk about the shows on /a/ throughout the year?At this point you aren't watching anime, you're just checking off boxes, like doing dailies in live service games. Not an anime fan but a poser.
>>285223194Whichever one wins and makes the most anons upset
>>285225722>natty afKill yourself, zoomer
>>285223246YesIt's a fantastic animeMost anons agree (it's AOTY)
>>285225775If you can look at those numbers and not see that something is weird, you're stupid.
>>285219936>>285219991Mujica win-win
>>285223654Watching 20 shows a season doesn't mean you're refinedIt means you don't value your own timeThere are nowhere near that many good shows every season. 5 is the average for good shows. Instead of wasting your time on slop you could be refining your tastes with older, classic shows (what smart anons do) or revisit your favoritesNo one is envious of you because of all the isekai you watch, and you naming CITY below other shows like ruri and hibi don't mean much. Even after all of that anime, it's still top 10, meaning those other 20 you watched each fucking season were worse than it, yet you still watched them. Mind-boggling. Think again of what this means.>for anons who watched roughly 20-30 anime last year CITY was number 1>for anons who watched roughly 80-90 CITY was 10That's not a huge drop compared to how much time you've wasted
>>285225887Not all shows will follow exact same distributioon of #1-5. If you knew anything about such polls you would know that's normal. Excellent shows will be more skewed toward top positions. Medalist and Ave Mujica were definitely the two highest quality shows of the year, it's quite clear - but Ave Mujica is placed lower due to being inherently more niche, both due to theme and also being a sequel.
>>285225916Okay kid, but doing things you enjoy isn't a waste of time.
>>285225843I'm here. I talk about anime on /a/. The difference is that /a/ is secondary to the anime itself. If you're going so far as to say that discussion is the point of the hobby then you seriously need to ask yourself whether your hobby is anime or 4chan.>At this point you aren't watching anime, you're just checking off boxes, like doing dailies in live service games. Not an anime fan but a poser.I'll never understand how you people constantly try and argue that true anime fans don't actually watch anime.
>>285225843>ignores the time spent searching up and downloading the episodeWhat bulllshit is that? Either you subscribe to a streaming service which will serve you the episodes or you got an RSS feed for torrents set up that automatically handles everything.Do you only watch things that get discussed online? There's so much good stuff that gets skipped upon while the threads for popular series are just drivel. Whether you spend 60 or 70 minutes per day watching shouldn't make a big difference.
>>285225843Very trueWatching a seasonal isn't just about watching the showYou watch so you can talk with anons in the threads. Absolutely no one who is watching 80 shows a year is participating in all of those weekly threads. Which begs the question of why they even care about the ranking to begin with? If they are so refined in their tastes and superior, why even bother engaging with votingShouldn't they be watching more seasonals instead of voting and crying about the results??
>>285225843Three episodes takes only 69 minutes. It's not hard to watch 8 hours of anime a week.
>>285219936/a/ is literally me
>>285225843you forgot to count the time it takes to boot up macbook pro, connect the soundbar and masturbate with boyfriend's dragon dildo
>>285225924I'm not going to argue against thatI'm saying I have no idea how you could enjoy watching copy and paste isekai and shonenslop constantly. When those "next season" threads come out, I read every entry on those charts to find things that I might be intrested in. The second I see "in another world" I skip it because I know it's going to be trash
>>285219936>TakopiYou're joking, right?
>>285225962>I'll never understand how you people constantly try and argue that true anime fans don't actually watch anime.If your'e going to only argue in badfaith, it would have been better if you never responded in thefirst place. All you're doing is wasting time of everyone reading this conversation. You aren't interested in talking. You only care about mindlessly shitting on other person and will come up with most idiotic fallacies to do so.
>>285225972Do you spend more time on /a/ than you do on watching anime & reading manga?Participating in three threads per day isn't hard.
>>285225916I just watch 1 episode of everything before dropping.
>>285226029YesDiscussion of an anime episode is naturally going to be longer than the episode itself. If you're going to spend less than 20 minutes in a thread reading other's opinion, sharing your own, making memes and sharing screenshots, then you're not actually participating in discussion. It feels like you think you've got me in a "gachya" moment here. In reality you've proven nothing. Again, I ask, if you are so concerned with maximizing your watch time (because that is, in your mind, the way to engage with the hobby) then why are you bothering with discussion on any level?
>>285226034Okay... ?
>>285223033Do we need to invent new metrics just to hide the fact that kyoani fags are the most vocal fanbase of the 2026 in the popularity polls?
>>285225972Thanks anon. Yup, there's a lot more to the whole process. Discussing the show, posting your favorite scenes, making stitches, wembs, checking author's, studio's or seiyuu's account for extra info and materials etc. It's quite shocking to see so many people responding the way they are doing.>>285225965Checking nyaa if the episode is out, downloading the torrent, bit of downtime before it's on your HDD. Normal way of getting anime. It's short individually but it adds up, especially if releases are inconsistent.>Do you only watch things that get discussed online?Why are you faggots jumping to the extremes so much? Are your childish brains incable of coprehending things in between?>There's so much good stuff that gets skipped upon while the threads for popular series are just drivel.Yes but that doesn't in any way contradict my words. If anything it could support them, because it takes mroe time to do research about what's worth watching and what wasn't despite the initial hype.>Whether you spend 60 or 70 minutes per day watching shouldn't make a big difference.>>285225981>Three episodes takes only 69 minutes. It's not hard to watch 8 hours of anime a week.Jesus fucking christ.I challenge you morons to actually use a timer this year and see how long the whole process takes you because it's clear you're retards with no ability to think.Your brains would have to be completely fried if you just mindlessly jumped from one show to another without stopping when they're completely different in style and repeating this process every single day whole year long.
>>285226091They're not the most vocal, they're the most populous. City won, after all
>>285226077Do you watch three shows per season?
>>285225972I watched 30+ shows each season. I participated in threads for many of them. I usually skip threads for popular shows, or I might just drop my opinion and leave, because normalfags are too retarded for quality discussion. I participate in the annual AOTY polls to give some recognition to the shows I liked the most. I'm not fussed about the final rankings because I know my taste is the only taste that matters. I just find it unfortunate that so many people seem to have this /v/-like attitude of "well anime sucks actually, and if you like anime then you''re stupid". These people do not belong on /a/.>>285226003You're the one saying that watching anime means you're not an anime fan. That's the most idiotic fallacy ever and it comes up all the time in these threads when people try to justify why they refuse to engage in what is supposedly their hobby.
>>285226128>You're the one saying that watching anime means you're not an anime fan.I'm not, you're committing a horrible strawman. If you truly can't see that, go back to school and ask your teacher to explain things to you instead of wasting everybody's time with your drivel. However I think it's much more likely you're jsut a pathetic troll arguing in bad faith.
>>285226104>>Checking nyaa if the episode is out, downloading the torrent, bit of downtime before it's on your HDD. Normal way of getting anime.Learn to use RSS. It may be surprising to you but you can do other things while a torrent loads, you don't have to stare at the client to see the pieces coming together.
>>285226104anon, some people have a process to automatically torrent every show, so atleast that part of the time can be cut out. Those anons are stupid, however, because downloading dozens of slop episodes onto your harddrives every week isn't something one should be proud of. real telling how anons will constantly say, "man this season is so trash. what a SHIT year" and then proceede to watch that trash without end. while also calling those who don't mindlessly watch that garbage "casuals." if it takes me watching every show every season to not be a casual, I'd rather keep the title, tbqdesuwy
>>2852261155, on average, depending on what's airing
>>285226142>I'm notOkay, so then you agree that being an anime fan means watching anime? So again, you need to ask yourself whether you're an anime fan or a 4chan fan. You can be both, but if you enjoy 4chan more than anime itself then you'd be much better suited on /v/.>>285226188>real telling how anons will constantly say, "man this season is so trash. what a SHIT year" and then proceede to watch that trash without endThe people saying that are the ones who hardly watch anything.
>>285226188>how anons will constantly say, "man this season is so trash. what a SHIT year" and then proceede to watch that trash without endThe people saying that are the folks that watch 5 series on average and ignore everything else.
>>285226213>>285226217alright, you may have a point thereI conceed that argument in particular
>>285226166>>285226188I probably should at this point. Contemplated it in the past but there were issues with RSS missing some releases. I'm talking about times ~15 years ago when not everything was simulcasted and we relied on fansubs. I was also autistically comparing quality of releases between fansub groups. And I guess the sentiment from back then carried on all the way till now, without thinking to reconsider the process in the face of changing times, old, stubborn, sentimental fossil I am, not willing to accept the change. Gone are the days of EveTaku vs DDY vs FFF vs... Now it's just Erai-raws for first release or ASW for space saving etc.
What would the top spots have looked like before 2015, anons?
>PSG S2 not in top 10goddamn..
>>285226213>Okay, so then you agree that being an anime fan means watching anime?Oh course? What kind of braindead question is that?>So again, you need to ask yourself whether you're an anime fan or a 4chan fan.No, I don't need to. >You can be both, but if you enjoy 4chan more than anime itself then you'd be much better suited on /v/.You're retarded. Enjoying anime with anons is the height of this hobby. Nothing comes close to speculah times. Trying to claim such people only belong on /v/ is... I don't have words. I should just give up on responding to you. Your brain is truly fried. There's no emotion, only robotic caluclation of time optimizing. As other guy said, at this point you shouldn't even be here because it goes agaisnt what you preach.
>>285225916Whole lotta text to say "I am a pleb and my faggot opinion is worthless"
I think we should stop arguing
>>285226333you realize the same can be said about you? the same has been said about you this very thread. we have a difference of opinion. that's all.
>>285226252>Now it's just Erai-raws for first release or ASW for space saving etcThe last few years it's the chink releases ripping from BiliBili or QiYi that tend to come out first. And sometimes also in 4K.
>>285226345Dogshit show, first insta-drop of the season
>>285226252>I was also autistically comparing quality of releases between fansub groupsI used to be like that 20 years agoOnce you learn nip it becomes an entirely moot pointAnd if you haven't picked up some level of nip in 15 years then what are you doing
Unlike you clowns I know I have shit taste and everyone who replies to my posts is a sucker
>>285226356The difference is that you actually are a fucking pleb.
>>285219936>>285219991>no panty stocking in either
>>285226384>t. pleb
>>285226365Filtered
>>285226399It was much weaker than the first season.
>>285226361Huh. That is a thing now. Didn't realize. Are they fine translation-wise though? ToonsHub doesn't exactly inspire confidence. You can probably tell I fell off and don't follow things as closely nowadays.>>285226370Fair, I ended up watching Medalist raw for the most part because I got tired of waiting for good subs. I can handle easier shows like that but not really at the level to do it for all anime. I should probably put more effort into studies and take that step finally.

>>285226448It's passable if you know enough Japanese to ignore half the translation but it feels dry and is sometimes wrong compared to CR and even modern MTL which tbf improved a lot as long as it knows the context.

>>285219936>no Gnosia
>>285227206>>285227216CITY was the Gushing Granny option.
>>285227256Gnosia is a garbage show whose premise is just "Let's create the most unrealistic setup just so we can play Werewolf games in space"

>>285219936>citylmao shitty fags abusing dynamic IP
>/a/ hates popular things>/a/ votes for a popular thing Make it make sense
proof that super niche anime fags are VERY tryhard in getting recognition they're willing to spam votes while others don't care about voting at all.
>>285227501Generals on /vg/ have one or two people spamming gay porn (and getting banned) for months on end. A few asspies on /a/ endlessly voting on a poll is downright normal in comparison.
>>285221615botted
Does google poll track emails? Can you see what same people voted in different years?
>>285227561I always voted CITY
>>285227519>anything by Kyoanus and Cygays>nicheok
>>285227605those 2 are flip flapper and wonder egg priority tier. they both have really small but extremely vocal fanbase. the kind that's obsessed with voting their niche trash to the top.
>>285219936>shittyLMAO.
>>285225843True otaku only watch one anime a season and dedicate all their time to rewatching and discussing it.
>>285226345Anime of the year
Hibimeshi is the true AOTS, but we don't care about voting.
>>285227613except unlike WEG, neither of those turned into a trainwreck of a production and writing
I voted for GiruMasu
>>285227681I forgot that girumasu was in 2025 and since it wasn't written as girumasu I didn't even check it in my completed shows list
>>285227668The Aquatope of 2025
>>285227681I voted for its ED.
>>285226989Thank you anon!
>>285227613>t. the retard who voted for Dandadan even though he only watched 5 shows last year
>>285226762>>285226832Doesn't sound great. Probably better to wait for [Erai-raws] then (they're mostly CR rips, right? and other main simulcasts). And naturally, [ASW] or [Judas] like HEVC reencodes which maintain virtually identical video quality at 20-60% filesize. I don't mind being a couple hours late, my schedule is erratic anyway and I often watch the show a day or few after downloading regardless.
>>285221970Good year for anime, horrible year for 4chan
>>285228077You sure? I'd say it's one of the weakest years for anime. None of 2025 shows would be top5 in many other years. Not even top 10 in stronger years like 2011.
>>285227779HibiMeshi was at least top 5 on 2ch/5ch and top 10 on /a/. Poor Aquatope didn't even make it in the top 30 of both places...
Fine, I'll watch Hibimeshi
>>285227782The ending was the best part
HebeKINO
>>285228292You're in for a comfy ride
>>285228292You're better off watching NareNare
>>285228490Don't troll anon like that. Narenare is one of the worst shows the studio has ever shat out
>>285224248I loved Muumuu and Kawaisugi, but nyaight looked too stupid so I passed on it
why haven't the hibis gone to mixers with guys yet
>>285227613If you want le most watched show should win go vote on a reddit poll or some shit
>>285227613What's the problem with that? If a show had enough impact on the board that it was able to rally posters here behind it then it should win. This ranking is supposed to be representative of this board specifically, not what the general anime viewer thinks.
>>285229153It's the curse of being in an all-female slice of life.
>>285229153They don't like boys
>>285229153guys don't exist in good anime
>>285229195This. An example of this is shoushimin. That punched well above its weight compared to its popularity because of how much impact it had on the people here that actually watched it. Especially ranking higher as a sequel and getting the best girl vote is impressive.
>>285229314that's not true
>>285225923Except you don't see a steady progression to that. That's an insane jump which looks incredibly suspicious.
the nips suspect botting simply because the yearly girlband anime didn't win after a three-year streak
>>285229400that's ave mujica's fault for being a shit season
>>285229369See loli, vote loli. That's been the Japanese way for years.
>>285225972>>285226077You're seriously overestimating the average seasonal thread. Most of them do not reach 300 replies, let alone the ones reaching bump limit. For the first time in my life I watched a bit more than 80 seasonal shows in a year, and I was in pretty much every thread about them. Sure, there were some episode threads I missed, but I could look them over in the archive, so it isn't a big deal. I also spent a lot of time all over /a/, so it's not as if I didn't interact with the rest of the board either.>>285225916I watched 32 series in summer, and none of them were Isekai.
>>285229369Why would there be a steady progression? You're fundamentally mistaken if you expect one. That's not how things work. Especially in a year like 2025 where it's very clear which shows deserve the award more.
