THE AJAS POLL 2008 - RESULTS

by Dhumahn » Mon Jan 19, 2009 9:11 pm

Here we go:

First up, the AJAS wooden spoon award:


...nice spoon isn't it??

anyway, the show that got last place was....

46. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 3.429
No surprises there :D



the next few lowly shows are:

45. Munto II 4.700
...and they've produced a TV series of this? I want my Haruhi dammit!!!

44. Munto 4.750
The original did slightly better

43. Appleseed Saga Ex Machina 5.000
A fine case of when sequel = fail...

42. Miyori No Mori 5.600
Not even the forest animals could save her...

41. Mahou Yuugi 2D 5.667
Fish coats do smell awful, no matter how you look at it...

40. Soul Eater 5.684
Yes, this is the lowest-rating current playlist item (it was the one that started off dead last too, as I was hinting during the final meetings of last year)


...should we can this one from the playlist please?

...next up, the 30-somethings...

39. Lupin The 3rd - Stolen Lupin 5.769
...and I was expecting better from a Lupin movie...

38. Darker Than Black 5.789
...couldn't see the light?

37. Vexille - 2077 Nihon Sakoku 6.091
What is is with movies and having a low result this year...

36. Baccano! 6.133
Maybe a few too many characters for some?

35. Lupin The 3rd - Angel Tactics 6.308
MORE LUPIN!!!

=33. Toshokan Sensou / Genius Party 6.333
Oh look! Tied Spot!

32. xxx-Holic Kei 6.444
Maybe not quite as good as it should've been...

31. Hayate No Gotoku 6.533
The only show we actually dropped due to "tanking" issues...

30. Shigofumi 6.563
Not sure why this one ended up here?

...next, the "middle of the road"...

29. Mnemosyne 6.625
NSFW, that's for sure... 8)

28. Code Geass R2 6.636
Even after all of that applause....

27. Claymore 6.647
Colour by numbers....but its all in shades of red!!

26. Wolf And Spice 6.762
probably needed more foxy-love :D

25. Seirei No Moribito 6.769
As expected...

24. Soukou No Strain 6.824
Needs an *afterlife* version :)

23. Dai Mahou Touge 6.917
Still enjoyed the potato *peeling* itself...

22. Freedom 7.063
Brought to you by *CUP NOODLE!!!*

21. Dennou Coil 7.211
Did worse than I thought it would

20. The Garden Of Sinners 7.300
Did better than I thought it would

...now for those who didn't quite make the top 10...

19. Sword Of The Stranger 7.375
Still strange....

18. Bounen No Xamdou 7.429
RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY.......

17. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 7.467
Somebody, please sub series 2 well enough so we can play it...

=15. Piano No Mori / Potemayo 7.500
Another tied spot...

14. Penguin Girl Musume Heart 7.600
Much ado about something...

13. The Daughter Of 20 Faces 7.625
Just a normal girl, doing extraordinary things...

12. Eve No Jikan 7.636
Humans and Robots DO mix :D

11. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai 7.762
...was looking to finish in the top 10 for a while there, but got shot down at the last moment by another show...

...and now, for the AJAS 2008 POLL TOP TEN!!!!!

10. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan 7.813
It's almost like watching Power Rangers in a way....

9. Doujin Work 7.833
This was the only show in the top ten that I thought WOULDN'T be here, mind you, about halfway through this poll, it was in 2nd place.

8. Nodame Cantibile 7.933
Everyone thought this was going to win, since it is sooo good....

7. Hellsing Ultimate 7.938
This was going to be a runner-up for the third year running, until the very last set of votes came in....oh well :)

well, next would've been 6th, had it NOT been that 4 shows ended up being equal third...

So, the four shows who got third were....

=3. Kamichu!, Kite Liberator, Kurenai & Lucky Star OVA 8.000
Ironically, these four shows also appear in the same order in the original list...

...and then there were 2...

so, second place goes to....


...

2. Genshiken 2 8.211
For a previous AJAS poll winner to get second again, is quite a feat in itself, however, not as much as the winner did...


...which was...

...

1. Michiko To Hatchin 9.300
Now here's a show that just bolted through for a win, here's some interesting stats:

1. It started first, stayed first, and finished first
2. We've only played 1 episode so far
3. Out of all the votes I recieved, the lowest anyone gave it was an 8
4. It was the only show to which Mappy gave a 10 for (which, btw, brings his streak of giving 10's to subsequent winners to 4)

...and that's it, be interesting to see who wins the next one :D


Winner's List:

2008 Michiko To Hatchin Kamichu! BY ORDER OF BARRON, WE ONLY WATCHED ONE EP! of michiko, oh and going to play kite/genshiken to the un initiated public are you?, well I would like to subscribe to your newsletter NOT. Kite is R18+ level anime smack. Barron will stop raging in 3.2.1 rage gone.

Whats wrong with your can of drink? The top of it reminds me of that shock picture of the weightlifter who strained just a little too much while in the standard no-toilet available position.

And yes, can it. If poor Hayate can get it this Naruto clone can too. :twisted:

I think that's what happens when the liquid inside freezes, and expands, pushing the top and/or bottom of the can out...?

Buggrit. This was running as high as 4th at one stage. Ah well.

One other thing:
AJAS Poll 2007 Results wrote:32. Soukou No Strain 6.100
10. Seirei No Moribito 7.000
9. Claymore 7.083

AJAS Poll 2008 Results wrote:27. Claymore 6.647
25. Seirei No Moribito 6.769
24. Soukou No Strain 6.824

Lulz at reversing the order. :D

Doujin Work
Genshiken 2
Hellsing Ultimate
Kamichu!
Kite Liberator
Kurenai
Lucky Star OVA
Mitchiko To Hatchin
Nodame Cantibile


Just these left, people. Just these left. And the winner from this list should be pretty obvious, since it was always going to win from the start. It needed 0's from late-voters to stop that from happening. 8)

I think that's the whole point Mappy. Greg will most likely reveal those two tomorrow and save the top two for the meeting itself.

I was going to go through the archives to find an anime that could be C&D, but it seems the archives disappeared?

Correction. I'll be revealing those two tomorrow, and revealing the winner at approximately 11am on Tuesday.

Try looking at the list that Greg posted for the poll here.
If my reckoning is correct, the last 4 shows are Genshiken 2, Kurenai, Lucky Star OVA and Mitchiko To Hatchin.

Or you could just look at Mappy's post earlier in this thread and remove the shows that have been revealed since then. Either way you get the same result.

I wonder if my prediction of the winner will be correct? The show I thought would get the top is still going strong.

I'm going to be so disappointed that that fourth title doesn't begin with K. 8)

We really should tiebreak these.

Genshiken 2
Lucky Star OVA
Michiko To Hatchin


Now look at these three, and the winner should be blindingly obvious. 8)

Four shows in third place looks a bit messy. And I'm sure everyone would play favorites with these four. The worst any of them can finish, now, is sixth.

Since it probably won't happen, why don't we all list or personal preferences with those four here?

Here is my order for them:

6. Kite Liberator
5. Lucky Star OVA
4. Kurenai
3. Kamichu!

So, what are others preferences for these four?
