The new year is here, but there's still a few more days before the winter season begins. So lets take this chance to look back on the year before the new shows start and we all go back to watching anime.
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.
For those who filled it out early, note that the result date has been pushed back to the 7th to account for several prominent shows ending late and being fansubbed even later. The Yuyushiki OVA and Aiseki Mogol Girl have also been added to all relevant categories.
>no IP protection isn't there a poll floating around already with IP protection and 1200 responses?
Mason Martinez
~150, which isn't bad considering I only really posted it in a couple AOTY threads so far. I think some other anons have been posting it too, which helps.
Yeah, some user made a poal.me about a month ago. People kept complaining about muh google account, so I tried turning off account verification this year. I'm a bit concerned about that, but I'm hoping the length and detail helps deter spam and you can see each individual vote to monitor for any obvious spam. So far things look clean.

>he thinks ip protection matters user, i can just change ip every 20 seconds by connecting to a different vpn server. i wont even have to clear my browser cache.
Brandon Walker
Pingu isn't on the list.
Carson Green
Pingu in the City is on the list with the rest of the shorts. If you jumped straight to AOTY, then you need to go back a page to get to the categories for shorts, movies, and ovas since those were separated.
Leo Lewis
I want to vote for Mugi in all categories.
Alexander Rogers
...
Hunter Barnes
Bump. I like these polls
Christopher Gonzalez
Aside from pic related, you missed the Shoujo Shuumatsu shorts.
Mason Taylor
Maho Yome are a series of short specials that have been coming out alongside the show, it's a bit confusing since that's also the abbreviation of the show, but that's Japan for you.
Shoujo Shuumatsu Jugyou should be on there, but it's classified as an OVA/special rather than a short since it's bonus content for another show rather than its own thing.
Did last year have any good EDs? Like not good songs but actual good endings? Something that expressed the show, had good synergy, maybe a fade to Ed somewhere etc.
Joshua Carter
I really loved the LWA ending. It had all the spirit and emotion that the show lacked. But I guess that isn't an answer to what you're looking for.
Christian Miller
So thinking back new game was this year, the Ed was about the workweek itself, that's sorta what I'm talking about.
dailymotion.com/video/x68q7hq The ED has such good design and if you know the creator of the manga, her art style is very similar to the ED. Her art is amazing and I love it.
Mason Martin
Isn't that a bit of a false equivalency though? I mean an anime poll or the person running the country are very different things. While I do think this poll isnt the most secure, how else do we find out what the best show is?
Jack Jenkins
impeccable taste

Using an actual site like strawpoll or poal.me was fine. I don't know why someone felt the need to use Google Documents. How do we know they aren't messing with the results? Just blindly trust an user?
You never leave something like that in the hands of 1 individual.
Nathan King
and the other polls are just as reliable? The last few polls I've seen have had shenanigans called on them for multi voting. There probably isnt a reliable and easy way to do this kinda vote.
Zachary Sanders
>Using an actual site like strawpoll or poal.me was fine. Proxies. There is no secure way to do an AOTY poll, so all AOTY polls are retarded and non-credible.
Landon Adams
>made in abyss that high looks like reddit got ahold of it already
Eli Howard
>and the other polls are just as reliable? Yes, because in order to cheat it'd require some autistic user to spend 5 hours switching IP's and voting, which basically nobody is going to be bothered with doing
vs
1 guy who can add +20~50 votes to their favorite series within a second.
Ethan Watson
>Yes, because in order to cheat it'd require some autistic user to spend 5 hours switching IP's and voting, which basically nobody is going to be bothered with doing I think you severely underestimate the weaponized autism found on Sup Forums.
Alexander Perez
>How do we know they aren't messing with the results? Because you can see the results table with all the votes in it. It doesn't get much more transparent than that.
That's the poal.me.
Gavin Ortiz
This is the reality behind polls posted on Sup Forums.
Grayson Fisher
>her art style is very similar to the ED That's because she animated the ED.
Brody Jones
>Because you can see the results table with all the votes in it That doesn't mean anything.
Logan Jackson
>Because you can see the results table with all the votes in it. I use Google Docs spreadsheets a lot for work. Nobody would ever know that the creator of the poll was adding "votes" directly to the spreadsheet, even with a publicly posted results table.
Jace Murphy
What's your idea then?
Matthew Fisher
Not having polls. There is no secure, credible way to do them, so don't have them. They are a waste of time. Nobody intelligent thinks they're credible for a second.
Carter Hernandez
White Fox didn't? I never heard this before, if it's true then I like it even more.
Owen Rodriguez
In the ending credits there's an "Ending animation: Tsukumizu" line so that's what I'm assuming.
Noah Long
Inuyashiki ED was so on spot it literally made you cry in the last episode.
Michael Evans
The Akiba's Trip EDs were pretty much all about what the episode was about. The visuals didn't always sync well as a result of having so many of them, but the content was just as much a celebration of Akiba and otaku culture as the show itself was.
Nathan Brown
Thanks to this thread I learned Tsuki ga Kirei got a freaking OVA or whatever, thanks I guess.
