Greatest Anime Series (Voting)

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Alright, now to start the competition. The rules are simple. Much like other threads of this sort, I will list 4 series per round at random. Rank the 4 series in order from your most liked to your least liked among the available options (top to bottom). Your 1st choice will receive 4 points, and then your subsequent choices will each get one point less based on ranking (so 3 points for your 2nd choice, 2 for 3rd, and only 1 for 4th/last).

Also, while its not required, I would encouraged to briefly explain your choices a bit if you can.

Without further ado, let's begin!

Round 1, Match 1:


Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

vs.


Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

vs.


Death Note

vs.


Trigun

My choices:

Death Note (Because it entertains the hell out of me, both in legitimate and completely unintentional ways)
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (honestly a tough choice between this and Trigun, but I didn't want to incur Foggle's wrath)
Trigun (It was really a coin flip between this and Higurashi for me, to be honest)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Its OK, but honestly its not really up my alley)

[Spark Of Spirit]

Trigun - One of my all-time favorites
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - A good mystery with well written characters, shame this seems to be a fluke
Death Note - It's a pretty good noir story with a surprisingly good ending
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - ..........

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Alright, I'm going to wait a bit more to give Pharass a chance to make his picks. If he doesn't post by tomorrow morning, though, then I'll tally up all of the current votes for this round so that we can move onto the next one.

[Foggle]

Don't forget Lord Dalek as well.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Lord Dalek doesn't count because he's not actually a person!

No, but seriously, I actually thought that he already voted for some reason. Of course I'll wait for him as well, but like I said, I'm moving on by tomorrow morning.

[Pharass]

Higurashi
Death Note
Trigun
Gurren Lagann

I'm just going to be lazy this time and second Avaitor's vote.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Alright, its time to wrap up this round:

Death Note- 23
Trigun- 22
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni- 21
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann- 12

It was a really close call between Trigun and Higurashi, but it looks as though Trigun just barely made it. Still, Higurashi is a great anime (well, only the 1st season and Kai, anyways), so you anyone who hasn't watched it yet really should. That said, Death Note and Trigun will be moving onto the next round.

Now to move on with the competition.

Round 1, Match 2:


Fate/Zero

vs.


Durarara!!

vs.


The Big O

vs.


Future Boy Conan

My Picks:

The Big O (Because its Batman with a mecha, and its also the only anime among these that I've actually seen)
Fate/Zero (Because I haven't seen it, but Foggle seems to like it)
Durarara!! (Because I haven't seen it, and I didn't care for Baccano!)
Future Boy Conan (Because I've never even heard of it before)

[Avaitor]

The Big O (still need to see season 1, though)
Durarara!! (I actually gave up on this, but I've seen some of it, so I guess it should be second)
Fate/Zero (I'm sure it's good, but F/SN still left a sour taste in my mouth)
Future Boy Conan (also not familiar with it)

[Foggle]

Absence Of Fate
Crazy Huge O Face
Durararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararara
Conan The Futurebarian

Fate/Zero (I'm sure it's good, but F/SN still left a sour taste in my mouth)

Understandable, but they're literally nothing alike outside of concept. Give it a watch sometime.

[gunswordfist]

Yes, that last minute switch around made Trigun advance.
