Ha, and here I thought Kotetsu would be an underdog!
For me, 2013 hasn't been a great year in anime, but it was hard to choose between Uchouten Kazoku, Maou-sama, and Gargantia... Edit: completely forgot about and didn't see Gatchaman... oops. Last edited by lizardking461 on Sat Dec 14, 2013 7:02 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Thanks Lynzee for the new poll! I am very interested in learning which series is everyone's favorite. I voted for Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet. It is not a perfect anime, but I enjoyed it a lot.
If the poll was asking which is the best (in overall quality) anime series of 2013, I would have voted for Flowers of Evil . |

I knew Baccano was gonna be somewhere on this list, but No. 1? Not that I'm complaining, because it deserves it.
As for my favorite of the year, due to college-related shenanigans I've unfortunately seen very little anime this year, so it was a tie between Attack on Titan, Part-Timer, and Outbreak Company. I'm enjoying the crap out of Kill la Kill, but it's not even halfway finished yet, so I'm not gonna pick that. I thought of picking either Devil Survivor 2 or Danganronpa purely because I adore the games they're adapted from, but they aren't exactly the greatest of VG adaptations. So, I'm going with Part-Timer. |

I would've gone with Eden of the East. Sure, only the first episode took place in the US, but their representation of DC was more accurate than any Hollywood production I've ever seen, and the voice actors doing Americans spoke perfectly.

Nice list and selection. Too bad A Wind Named Amnesia wasn't there, but hey…
Goku #2 for favorite anime dad? OK, I guess, being a popular character, but wasn't Piccolo more of a dad to Gohan than he ever was? I don't remember him being around that much for Goten, either. For that matter, I guess Vegeta's one of my favorite anime dads, then…

That's a heck of a poll. Must've been fun typing those all in.
Fully expecting Attack on Titan to come out on top, but it'll be interesting to see what else scores. I ended up voting for My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. |

Argh, this is a tough poll. It comes down to a three-way brawl between FLOWERS OF EVIL, THE ECCENTRIC FAMILY, and KILL LA KILL.

I voted for Little Busters Refrain for my top anime of 2013. Valvrave would be 2nd on my list.

I give my vote to Kyousogiga. It's the most charming thing I've ever seen. I love it!

I'm glad Heroman made the list, it needs more recognition.
As for the poll, glad that Goku and Minato ranked high. As for the poll, I voted for Attack on Titan, although Railgun S was really good, better than I though, even if the final arc wasn't as good as the first. |

Never question my love for you guys  That poll took me over 30 minutes of monotonous data entry.

This was a tough poll to answer. There were a lot of series that I enjoyed a fair amount, so to narrow it down I first eliminated anything that's currently airing. I want to judge things on their entire body of work, because endings and make or break a series. Then I cut out titles that ended while pretty much hinting at a second (or third) season. After trimming all that down, I felt that The Eccentric Family was the most enjoyable, fully contained show this year. Could they make more? I suppose, but it just felt like it ended nicely with no need to go any further.

I was about to riot until I realized that The Eccentric Family was alphabetized under T.
Space Brothers mostly (or maybe about half?) takes place in Texas.. And according to 15th century rules, the US owns the moon too.
Also Phantom ˜Requiem for the Phantom˜ is set in the US (New York, I think? plus some L.A. and other American locations). Last edited by Gina Szanboti on Sat Dec 14, 2013 2:39 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Oops, almost missed the Favorite Anime of 2013 poll…
Lots of great anime this year, but I ultimately chose Majestic Prince over a tight battle with Nagi no Asukara and KILL la KILL, in that order. It was one of the best done and most enjoyable anime I have watched in the last few years, thanks to its direction, depth, character development, and insanely-choreographed (and well-animated) action scenes. |
