Every year, about a month before the fall season, I hold this poll in which you can force me to blog one of the upcoming autumn seasons. In this contest, you can either force me to blog an awesome-looking series, or a series that I normally would never consider covering. I’m a bit earlier than usual this year (blame impatience).
Either way, during the previous years I asked you to simply drop a comment with the series you voted for. Unfortunately, because last time people cheated I had to find a different way to do it. I didn’t want to post a simple poll (I really want this contest to be between my readers, instead of people who visit random sites and click on random polls), so I settled with an online survey, which can be found here:
http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?surveyID=KBDEML_aef4ec97
Here are some concrete rules:
– To make a valid vote, visit the above link and leave the titles of your selection. You can select up to two series from the upcoming Autumn season.
– The anime with the most amount of votes in the end will be blogged for at least 12 or 13 episodes.
– Here and here are lists with the shows that are scheduled to air.
– This year I also decided to drop the “No direct sequels”-rule, so you can also nominate series as Index II and Sora no Otoshimono II.
– I haven’t tested this out yet, but at the online survey you should be able to modify your answer after having voted.
– I accept any series with an airdate between September 20th and November 11th.
– The poll will end at September 30, 23:59 GMT. All votes that arrive after that will be ignored.
You can find the results here:

Bakuman and Psychic Detective Yakumo!!
Even heard a lot about the World God only Kmows 🙂
…I’m tempted to make you suffer this season LOL!
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai and… and… *thinking of an obviously horrendous moe series*.. ah, I’ll settle for Sora no Otoshimono =D I await the results OHOHOHO!
..Dang, my plan seems to be failing =(
Toaru Majutsu no Index II and Bakuman
Wouldn’t mind Star Driver either :]
I hope you’re surely going to blog Letter Bee, because I didn’t vote for it.
>This year I also decided to drop the “No direct sequels”-rule, so you can also nominate series as Index II and Sora no Otoshimono II
BWAHAHAH You shouldn’t have done this. Now i’ll force you to blog… guess it 😛
Anyway, is it me or that survey page is horrible? >.
Can you link to the results page so we can watch the votes?
Bakuman and Psychic Detective Yakumo.
Even if I think you would blog them without anyone asking for. 🙂
Bakuman! All the way. 😉
let’s make psgels blog series that he wouldn’t blog from its first impressions (yes,it’s The World God Only Knows /Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai)
I vote for The World God Only Knows(Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai)
I haven’t voted for Star Driver because I strongly believe psgels will blog it voluntarily ^^
GO Kuragehime!
Um, Psychic Detective Yakumo.
Psgels is likely to blog the Psychic Detective Yakumo anyway, unless it was badly made. Bakuman & The World Only God Knows on the other hand, is got ratedly lowly, though that might change once he saw the actual anime. Then again I don’t wanna risk it. So my vote goes to those two.
Im loling at whoever put giant killing.
Ok, cancel that opinion about him rating Bakuman low.
-_- People voting for Bakuman, Kami Nomi, and Yakumo when he’s already shown interest in them? I was going to troll with To Love-Ru but it might’ve ended up harder on me than you.
PSGELS, watch Honey & Clover already! Don’t get disappointed by saving it for last and hyping it up too much.
Since I am all but certain that you will blog Psychic Detective Yakumo, Bakuman and Tegami Bachi regardless, I would vote for Iron Man and Rita et Machin. However, neither has a chance of winning, so I’ll just pass…
Hey let’s just resume the “Force Psgels to review Railgun (or similar stuff)”!! Vote 4 Index II. Index 4 PRESIDEEENT!! 😛
aww come on guys, he would have blogged psychic detective and bakuman anyway, tactical voting guys, tactical voting. shiru sekai, star driver and kuragehime have manglobe, bones and brainbase behind them so even if they sound daft there’s a good chance they’ll turn out good and be blogged. togainu looks gay i’ll pass. index II bored by exposition i want to be not. ore no imouto – vaat? aic comes up with an imouto story yet another waste of their ridiculuously amazing budget. why does aic have money but giant killing guys don’t urgh.
amongst the second tier anime otome youkai zakuro sounds like it has potential but will probably bot be blogged, so i’d pick that. either that or we troll the poll with toloveru that’ll be fun.
Meh…people (fangirls?) keep voting for Yakumo,even it is 80-90% will be blogged = =
Tegami Bachi Reverse
Voted for Togainu. Hey, psgels liked Uragiri and had a fairly positive rating of junjou Romantica, so IF it has gay themes, he won’t mind as long as the plot and the characters are ok 😀
And for Ironman because it lacks votes,
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai and Bakuman…
Love both mangas. If I can make only a choice, then I go for Kaminomi 🙂
Togainu No Chi
imma saving my vote for 30 Sept when people facepalm realising bakuman is going to be blogged anyway i’ll come in and save the day by voting the second on the list which will also be probably blogged anyway. to really put meaning to the ‘force me to blog’ phrase psgels should invert the list and then pick the first one…Fortune Arterial. eww.
i’m with Fireflyfu , the 2 animes that are ahead will be blogged anyway,I mean Psychic Detective Yakumo is done by BEE TRAIN,just as a quick reminder:
psgels when the last bee trin anime came out : “Chance of me Blogging: 100% (BEE-TRAIN ROCKS)”
or reviewing the before last anime bee train made : “This may be one of my more biased reviews, simply because I’m such a large Bee-Train fan.”
I’m not criticizing psgels,not at all.I’m just saying psgels doesn’t need a bee train anime to come ahead in a poll to blog it.
So my intent was on following solaris’ call,make him blog something he would never blog,except we need to get more organised,he voted index II and I voted sora no otoshimono II lol
Nuu Totoum you’re EBIL: Sora no Otoshimono is actual torture! Al Quaeda is brainwashing their kamikaze bombers by forced view of Sora no Otoshimono (and kanokon)!!! Do you hate Psgels that much??? 😛
*jk*
Kuragehime, or Goulart Knights would be entertaining 😀 (Only count my 2nd as a vote if it actually counts for an option, otherwise, Kuragehime)
Bakuman is popular. Seeing as how you haven’t read the manga, however, it should be interesting to hear your thoughts. You may want to wise up on Shounen Jump series, and how the magazine works, to understand some of it.
I personally voted Kuragehime and Star Driver, since they’re lower down than i’d hoped. Seeing Ironman reviewed would be nice too, I expect it could be much like Ultraviolet.
It seems that some anime are missing in the list above namely Baccano 2, Claymore and Birdy the Mighty.

Don’t know whether it is true but I will be very happy if there is some sort of “reboot” for the Claymore anime. They kinda mess up the first adaptation.
Sheratan: that list is obviously fake. 😉
Whoa~ This season has many good anime to blog.For me I think the series that style surely suit you the most will be Yakumo, Bakuman and Kuragehime.
One of those series that I interested the most is Bakuman.I read manga to the latest chapter and found it’s really good.But I want to know your opinion too.How the lot of text in the manga will be adapted.Interesting!
ฺีBut Otome Youkai Zakuro need some love! See the vote make me…a bit sad.I found it has some of interesting setting at least.Want you to give it a chance as well!.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-27/yumeiro-patissiere-new-tv-series-to-start-in-october
Of all places for an original story about a professional, working adult woman to come from. Starts October 3rd, too.
She’s an adult now? That’s just… random but completely intriguing…
Voted iron man and star driver purely based on premise.. they aren’t doing too well though 🙁
Though Bakuman is a wonderful manga, everybody’s going to blog that, so I thought I’d recommend something off the major hit list. How about doing Psychic Detective Yakumo (which I now see IS a major hit) and Letter Bee: Reverse (I know you want to :D)
well, I don’t use to make comments unless I have something to say but I selected Bakuman and The World God Only Knows.
can’t modify my answer…put in 3 by mistake ooops.
Don’t think any of them will win so no big deal.
Hmm, so much for false advertisement. Next year I’ll try something different.
Ok so, Bakuman? You were lucky this year too, but i’ll definitely force you blogging something wierd sooner or later!! I’m not an ENTJ Evil Overlord for sport!!! 😛
