Favorite Anime of 2013

[SharkBait]

why is "kill la kill" not in the poll , its outrageous.

Way too repetitive first half, show has finally started to get good this year.

I support Shingeki no Kyojin.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, but all 5 are good choices.

 

[Demonspeed]

Heh... SNK wasn't that good.

Still another round left. You'll have a chance to vote against it

I agree. Good anime, not that good. No doubt the most popular anime of 2013. If it wins the final round, I would accept it. I won't vote for it though.

I'm resigned to Shingeki winning. It's almost inevitable. I can't really complain, either. I'd still love it if Hataraku, my favorite, won.

I heard Hataraku was really good, although I've never seen it. It should really go onto my list--even my picky friend admitted it was pretty cute.

That said, I'm thinking out of sheer popularity and the fact that SnK is still a very good anime, that it will likely win this award.

The problem with Hataraku Maou-sama is, for me, that I watched it right after finishing Maouyuu Maou Yuusha, so it was good, but disappointing... So I won't vote for Hataraku Maou-sama, because of it. A bit like when I watched Angel Beats right after Ano Hana, you watch something really great and another really good one after it, but the first had a greater impact anyway, like catching you with a more fitting art style, or a different tone, etc...

As usual, I don't manage to say something clear, I hate my brain cells...

Anyway, still, two great animes, and well a lot of people dislike SnK, so we may have Hataraku be the favorite.

You find Maoyuu better than Hataraku?

I wouldn't say better, but yeah, I preferred it. (a lot of people prefer Hataraku Maou-Sama, so yeah, I know I'm the weird one, it was still great, but I had different expectations ^^ )

They didn't really have anything in common, other than both having (very different) Maou's. I don't understand the basis of comparison

That's basically my point and what I didn't manage to formulate, I expected something with some similarities and it was totally different, I enjoyed one more than the other.

To end the off-topic with it, it's pretty much every-time the same thing every-time, I have a friend, I ask him what's good to watch, he tells me :

Go watch [Maoyuu, Ano Hana, Hyouka] ! (pick one, he recommended me all of them)
I come back and say "Love it, before I finish it can you give me another cool one ?"
Okay now go watch [Hataraku, Angel Beats, Boku wa Tomodachi] it's a bit similar...

So this way you just end up disappointed and have a tendency to compare them to the previous one, which made me think that. Hopefully Hataraku and Angel Beats redeemed themselves when I finished them, maybe I wasn't that much in the story for Hataraku. By the way, Boku wa Tomodachi ga sukunai is totally different from Hyouka and well, I don't even know why he recommended it to me.

I should never listen to his recommendation again. (what I thought after Boku wa tomodachi)

Epilogue : a few weeks before this post, "You liked Hataraku Maou-Sama, you should watch Yuusha Ni Narenakatta." And I followed his recommendation, the result :

I think now I'm like this people saying "I'll never buy EA games again" and still ending up buying the last Battledibs 4 or whatever...

Epilogue of the epilogue : I haven't bought an EA game since 2011, achievement get "EA nope, it's in the DLC's"

I managed to totally derail my own post.
