Or a terrible show. Galilei Donna is an example of why A1 Pictures should be permanently ignored as a source of material for noitaminA. I mean, did nobody learn from Fractale?

There is so much wrong in all these opinions! I'm going to have to write an angry post about all this!


I would have thought the /ss/ in Ehrmagund would have put it right at the top of the list. Or maybe I'm grossly underestimating our membership base. 8)

I actually rather enjoy watching Galleli Donna... but would tend to agree it's not exactly a masterpiece. Little girls and giant flying goldfish, you don't need story writing when you have that.

Resident tank enthusiast. See me for racist and opinionated storytelling and vaguely accurate historical tank warfare-themed rants.

The results speak for themselves. NO ONE likes it.

And your opinion is nowhere near right either.
GEEKS RULE!

Anything 6 or above tends to not be this low in the poll. Having only 27 items really curtailed the tail end of the poll.

Also, whilst it isn't good, when you compare Maoyuu Maou Yuusha to other wooden-spooners, this would have to be the least worst title to win that award.

Mappy's comments above about the scores just further proves Greg's amazing ability to pick GOOD shows for the playlist, when everything but the final 3 shows in this year's poll rank above 6 amongst the AJAS regulars.

Greg must be some sort of mutant, with his superpower being able to spot the best anime.
There's a plot in that somewhere for a Samurai Flamenco 2....
GEEKS RULE!

Shinsekai Yori is very inconsistent, plot-wise, animation-wise and whatnot. The bloggers might LUUUURVE it, but that's because they spend all their time analysing things to hell and back. On a week-by-week basis, it is lacking.
