The last of this season's shows are coming to an end, and with them the 2016 anime year will come to a close. Now it's time to look back on the year and remember what we liked, what we hated, and how shit our collective taste was before 2017 rolls around and we do it all over again.
Categories include best anime, worst anime, most surprising anime, most disappointing anime, best OP, best ED, best OST, best scene, best girl, best boy, best seiyuu, shows watched, and shows dropped.
The poll will close on the 1st, by that point all the one cour shows will have finished except Long Riders so you can safely wait to vote until you've finished everything, or you can go back and edit your responses if anything makes you change your mind. Results will be posted on January 2nd.
>and with them the 2016 anime year will come to a close. Good riddance, what a horrible year.
Jack Adams
As an added bonus, I went back through last year's results and updated it to include different spellings of names into the same tally. This changed a few of the rankings, so I'll post the updated ones here.
Best Girl:
Winter - Katou Megumi, with 15 votes, retaining her position Spring - Oumae Kumiko, with 19 votes, retaining her position Summer - Speeddraw Fremy, with 13 votes, dethroning the previous winner, Sakurada Akane, who is now tied for second with Tomori Nao with 6 votes each Fall - Kafuu Chino, with 10 votes, dethroning the previous winner, Tatsumaki, who is now tied for second with Oshino Ougi and Kirima Syaro with 9 votes each Overall - Oumae Kumiko, with 13 votes, retaining her position
The Seasonal Waifu Award has also been taken from Sakurada Akane since she actually did get a vote for best girl of the year. The new winner is Sturluson Celty from Durarara!! who got 5 votes in the winter season, but was completely forgotten by fall.
Best Seiyuu:
Winter - Kayano Ai, with 7 votes, retaining her position Spring - Hayami Saori, with 13 votes, retaining her position Summer - Yuuki Aoi, with 8 votes, retaining her position Fall - Yuuki Aoi, with 9 votes, breaking out of her tie with Inoue Marina, who is now also behind Sakura Ayane Overall - Yuuki Aoi, with 17 votes, retaining her position
So aside from Drrr and half of jojo, i didn't watch anything this year. Soon, im going to do a finish or fail for the shows in pic related (The shows on the top are the ones i have the most hopes for, while the bottom ones are the ones i know i'll hate).
Let's see how good 2016 really was...
Adrian Price
>choose favorite anime for winter >my AOTS isn't on there Fuck this poll.
Ryan Jenkins
What is it?
Andrew Bailey
I voted reina best girl before and i'm doing it again
Daniel Stewart
This is an AOTY thread. Where are all the hot opinions?
Evan Lewis
Re:Zero was good and underrated.
Alexander Watson
Drifters
Gabriel Murphy
Now that I remember it, Winter Season was really mediocre.
Carter Murphy
Anyone got the template for that chart with your favorite show and opening/ending for each season?

>Spending days falsifying the results of the poll you spent days creating. >Thinking OP would be this autistic
Actually, we're on Sup Forums, anything can happen.
Luke Phillips
Sup Forums would DEFINITELY be that autistic.
Cooper Bennett
what's seiyuu mean?
Lincoln Hall
lurk more
Lucas Watson
I believe in OP.
Brody Foster
Bump for interest.
Blake Ramirez
The spreadsheet is just a convenient way to display results. All the responses are recorded in the poll itself and the only editing that can be done to them there is deleting individual responses.
Nathaniel Butler
>Let's see how good 2016 really was.. >watching less than 20 shows Not a relevant sample, your opinion in the matter is meaningless. Add some CGDCT
>too stupid to read the FAQ
>Where are all the hot opinions? Cancer can't afford to read more than 2 lines
Charles Scott
>Add some CGDCT I fucking hate CGDCT, and i dont have time to watch shows that i am not interested in (Hence why i picked out only the most promising ones). I also have a backlog...
Dominic Price
I realized how much I hate anime. I picked up 53 shows this year and only completed 5.
Luke Bennett
>giving a shit about Sup Forums 2016
It's always the same fucking thing
>AOTY >Some moe shit or some shit from a musical
Jeremiah Mitchell
>voting >everything has under 20 votes >faggots will parade this around for the next few months about "WOW THIS IS WHAT Sup Forums THINKS!"
James Martinez
Back to
Cooper White
not from Sup Forums but it is always the same damn thing every year. Why? Because people of those genres are the only people who HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT THIS SHOW IS.
Landon Scott
Need a google account to complete. Suck my dick OP.
Leo Green
>No kokoro ga sakebitagatterunda hecc
Cooper King
Last year OPM won AOTY on this poll so I don't have much expectatives. I will believe in Sup Forums though.
Evan Thomas
>a 2015 movie should be in the run for 2016 AOTY You're retarded.
Carson Wilson
>expectatives What?
Nolan Brooks
ESL powers in action. Expectations was the word I tried to use.
Jeremiah Wilson
>2016 >hecc
It is really troublesome poll, I don't care though, but there will be like 20 people who bother I think
and AOTY at that
Logan Peterson
>If you actually took the time to read this, and are looking at my votes I read all of them. I don't look at every vote, but I do read all of the text fields.
Daniel Watson
2017 will be better
Carter Taylor
Then add Thunderbolt Fantasy already.
Jack Young
Can I only vote in some categories and not others?
Ayden Reyes
I left blank everything related to movie / OVAS because I didn't watch any this year, also seiyuus and scenes because I don't keep track of those.
I went back and listened to every single OP / ED from the anime I watched this year, though.
Oliver Barnes
Yes. Vote for the stuff you care about, ignore the stuff you don't. Don't feel like you have to pick a favorite movie if you only watched one. Don't agonize over picking a seiyuu if none of their performances stood out to you.
As long as you have an AOTY for TV shows it'll accept it.
Xavier Gomez
>the only editing that can be done to them there is deleting individual responses. I use Google Docs spreadsheets for work. No. Of course the creator can edit them at will. Now I'm even more suspicious.
Brody Nguyen
Voted:
AOTY TV - Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu AOTY Short - Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou AOTY Movie - Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni AOTY Special - Kaze no Matasaburo
Didn't bother with the rest, who cares about seasonal stuff anyways? There weren't really any good TV shows this year.
Carter Hall
bump
Christian Reed
>AOTY Special - Kaze no Matasaburo >not planetarian shit taste
Nathan Foster
If you watched Bloodivores and did not mark it as the worst show in every chance you had, you're doing it wrong
Jaxson Martin
I voted Hibike euphoniium as AOTY. I unironically enjoyed it a lot
Easton Gray
I dropped it after pic related, how much worse did it get?
Brandon Reed
>AOTY movie >Kono Sekai Watched it or just shitposting user? >Year or unnecessary sequels >better than anything 2017 is trash.
Cooper Thompson
Where is Kimi no Na Wa?
Hunter Adams
>Just realised I haven't finished anything from Fall
Jesus.
Brody King
The spreadsheet, yes. But if you go to the responses tab on the poll, the one with all of the analytics shit, then it keeps a record of all the responses there too. I can post that at the end too if you're really suspicious, it's just that the built in analysis is kind of shit and will take half an hour to load for something this long.
I really think you're grasping at straws if you think someone would make a poll this long just to rig the results, though.
It's under movies.
Jaxon Lopez
The jury is still out on Flip Flappers but overall this year has been start of the season great potential and then usual Japanese cliche squandering of that potential.
Izetta, Haifuri, Dimension W, basically every serious adventure show turned to shit although thats to be expected.
The only show that followed through completely was Thunderbolt Fantasy and thats not an anime apparently.
Brandon Watson
Mob Psycho 100 for AOTY.
Camden Anderson
AotY 2016: Flying Witch.
That's all that you need to know.

William Wright
>not just condensing down the top 15 series for each season
what type of autism is this?
Angel Diaz
>hey guys, here's my favorite anime, tell me which one is the best >hope you don't have different taste than me
Yeah, great idea. I don't see anyone getting pissed off about that.
Jaxon Brown
Don't /thread yourself. It's unseemly and makes you appear as a raging newfag.
Owen Phillips
Bungou Stray Dogs ain't on the list
Brody Davis
I'm not going to create an Account to vote on your shit poll.
Why can't people realize that the only polls that matter on an anonymous board are anonymous polls.
Ian Kelly
He's gonna win the best boy award won't he?
Nolan Brown
>Sign in to your Google account to fill out this form
Fucking dropped
Jordan Carter
Man this list was too early, FliFla can make or break as AOTY, so I put Rakugo as AOTY just to be safe.
Luis Lee
This. Why the fuck would I care about your shit opinion when it's also a handful of reditor's opinion? Ange Vierge, Thunderbolt Fantasy and tekyuu were the best.
Thomas Turner
What's the point of this? It's not going to be accurate since most of Sup Forums wouldn't be assed to take the time to fill it all out.
Luis Thompson
Add Thunderbolt Fantasy or this poll is useless
Ryan Bell
>Ange Vierge, Thunderbolt Fantasy and tekyuu were the best It's amazing how this year I can't tell if you're trying to bait someone or actually have really good taste.
