Which Autumn Series do you want me to Blog?

by psgels, posted in Special Articles

Okay. It’s time again for a contest that I hold every year before the start of the Autumn Season: you all nominate one series, and I’m going to force myself to weekly blog that series no matter what. This is your chance to make sure that I blog a certain series, orforce me to cover a series that I normally wouldn’t even think about. It’s all up to you!

Last year I used a survey for it, but in the end that was a bit too much of a hassle to keep up with, so I’m going back to the method I used before, using comments. I’m not going to use a poll, because I want this contest to be amongst my readers. Not random people who just click every poll they happen to stumble upon. Here are the concrete rules:

– To make a valid vote, drop a comment leaving 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 is a list of all of the series that are applicable for this contest.
– The poll will end at September 30, 23:59 GMT. All votes that arrive after that will be ignored.

Results will be posted on this topic, though don’t expect me to be as up to date as I used to be during previous years.

Here are the results so far:

Persona 4 – 52
Kimi to Boku – 46
Guilty Crown – 45
Mirai Nikki – 37
Chihayafuru – 28
Shakugan no Shana 3 – 24
Last Exile – Ginkyou no Fam – 25
Fate/Zero – 27
Bakuman 2 – 19
Hunter X Hunter – 22
Un-Go – 27
Tamayura Hitotose – 11
C3 – 13
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukinai – 10
Lupin III – 9
Working’!! – 5
Phi Brain – 16
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon – 4
Ika Musume 2 – 3
Cross Fight Bedaman – 2
Gundam AGE – 5
Shumanchu MiRiKa – 1
Mashiro-Iro Symphony – 2
Ben-To – 4
Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai – 1

  5. Oh yeah !I hope that you will blog :
    Last Exile – Ginkyou no Fam
    Guilty Crown
    I saw that you have already a good expectations about them ^o^

  14. in reference to Working’!! .. all the trailers for the new series have no hints of fan service so even with the supposed ‘worst’ director it may still turn out good

  22. It’d be great if you can blog a series like Mirai Nikki and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai. The premise for Tomodachi may seem silly, but the comedy is real and literally made me laugh when I read the manga and I’d love it if you could give it a chance!

  26. 1. Fate/Zero — B/C I want to see Kiritsugu kick some serious @$$.
    2. Guilty Crown — If the main girl makes this a tsundere show, like Shana-ish… Then this series should be avoided.

  27. 1. Guilty Crown – sorry, psgels, but this is my revenge for going out of your way to hate on Code Geass when there are far, far worse series out there.
    2. Persona 4 – so I can decide whether to play the game before watching it.

  32. 1. Chihayafuru
    2. Phi Brain

    Both of these seem like the type of anime that will be ignored by other blogs.

  36. Ok: Chihayafuru and Last Exile!

    (Oh god, I hope Shana 3 will not end up being the winner, there are so many series better than htat :S)

    Reply

  39. Last Exile
    (or if its delayed yet again Gundam Age or Lupin III, though im not expecting much continuity worth blogging)

    As a side, though its not anime unlike the Original series I reccomend checking out the new Thundercats, its EPIC and just keeps getting better!!!

  48. Shana III: If you thought Shana 1 and 2 were horrible, try Shana 3, which is could turned out to be surprisingly dark and bleak. If J.S. Staff doesn’t screw up, Shana 3 and the finale will be like the very first story arc of Shana S1, but even darker. A good portion of the main cast will die… and vanish into oblivion. Again, this is assuming J.C. Staff doesn’t screw up. They have waited so many years, the chances that they will screw up is actually pretty low due to the mere pressure from the dedicated fans of the original novels.

    I’m pretty sure you won’t blog it, but at least try to watch it. You can skip Season 2 since it was quite a butchered adaptation that left the fans raging hard.

  49. Bleh so many good looking ones to choose from.

    My choices
    1. Persona 4 The Animation: The game was interesting and the story should hold up well in the hands of the Director of Angel Beats.
    2. Mirai Nikki: I like the story and concept behind this one and it will make for an interesting Anime series.

  51. 1- C3 – I liked what I could find of the light novel
    2- Mirai Nikki – I would’ve said fate/zero, except I expect it to be strong enough to be blogged anyway.

  55. seriously guys,don’t vote for series that he will obviously blog (un-go)

    -_-

    Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
    Tamayura Hitotose

  57. 1st – Shana III – Because I would love to see you blogging a series you hate – I know its not good, but I watched the first 2 seasons, I can’t drop it now, so let’s share the pain -.

    2nd – Kimi to Boku

    Well I think those two series are the only ones I will watch and you will not blog, that’s why I follow your blog I normally watch the same series you blog/like.

    Have you ever liked any we’ve chosen for you psgels? I hope for your sake that this year will be different. 🙂

  60. Well since we’re voting to torment psgels I’ll have to pick Shana and Mashiro-iro Symphony. メロンパン メロンパン メロンパン メロンパン メロンパン

    Reply

  65. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
    Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

    It’s funny how a lot of the comments are just choosing shows you were probably going to end up blogging anyway like Fate/zero and Persona 4. You guys should be using your votes to force psgels to blog something he wouldn’t normally give more than a 3 episode chance.

    Reply

  66. Pretty obvious that psgels is going to blog the shows with the first-glance potential grade of 90%-75%

    So:
    Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon- those who read the light novels said that this is more than just moe fanservice. It deals with negotiations, battles and debates.
    Hunter X Hunter remake- come on, you blog FMA: Brotherhood.

    Reply

  67. 1) Cross Fight Bedaman
    2_ Shakugan no Shana III

    Wow, you may have to end up blogging Shana III… I’d kill myself if it wins

    Reply

  68. – Persona 4
    – Kimi to Boku

    I wanna suggest Bakuman as well but I do agree that there’s not a lot to say about the episodes individually…

    These are the anime I will be confirmed on my watchlist but I’m looking forward to you blogging other shows cos you’ll probably make me interested in shows I probably wouldn’t notice. 😛

    Reply

  70. My votes are for

    1)Tamayura Hitotose :I really loved Tamayura OVA.I’d definitely watch the anime series (and would like to hear your thought)

    The second choice is a tough one.There are a lot of shows which I am planning to see this Fall like HxH,Guilty Crown,Fate Zero,Bakuman….anyways my 2nd choice would be

    2)Bakuman :I was one of the regular readers of
    your Bakuman posts…so yeah,I’d like to continue 🙂

  75. Come on guys, it’ll be almost 100% sure that psgels will blog the noitamina series and series that he rated the highest in the preview. So I’ll be voting for series that I’m interested in but were kinda in the middle.

    1. Mirai Nikki
    2. Hunter X Hunter

    Reply

  77. 1. Persona 4
    2. Working!!!??@?@

    You’d probably watch and enjoy if not blog persona 4 without my vote, but just to push it up. As for Working!! Just because the first one wasn’t really all *that* awful once it got going. I’ve seen worse. and I’ll probably watch an episode or two of the sequel to see if it got any better.

    Reply

  79. Kimi to Boku – slice of life w/ all boy cast is very interesting.

    Guilty Crown – people above have summed up why i like this show.

    Reply

  83. Aww, I really want you to blog Working’!!, but it seems to not stand a chance right now. But whatever. My votes:

    – Working’!!
    – Kimi to Boku

    Guys, remember to vote for shows with LOW chance of psgels blogging it, aka the shows at the top of the autumn preview post!

  87. 1. Ben-To
    2. C3
    3. Mirai Nikki
    4. Boku wa tomodachi…
    5. Guilty Crown
    6. Last Exile – Ginkyou no Fam
    7. Fate/Zero

    Reply

  91. Tough question, this season does not really stand out to me. But I’d like to see you blog:

    – Guilty Crown
    – Mirai Nikki

    Reply

  116. Un-Go and Persona 4, plz. I know you would probably blog them anyhoo, but I’m not interested in anything else.

    Reply

  121. I will vote for just one show: Mirai Nikki.

    The impact of the manga is undeniable (I find Yuno to be among the most iconic characters of the noughties), and there is a high probability that psgels would drop the show otherwise since the story at the beginning… well let’s just say it’s not one of the strong points of the manga.

    Reply

  122. My votes are for Persona 4 beacuse its seems a much better adaptation than the previous one, and Fate Zero, beacause Fate in thats costume´s looks awesome XD.

    Reply

  126. Bakuman (because the first series was awesome)
    and
    Lupin III (because i haven’t seen any Lupin series before and I want your opinion)

    Reply

  129. Persona 4
    (the best game among persona series videogames and the character are likeable especially Kuma)

    Mirai Nikki
    (the twist in its manga storyplot really make it enjoyable and kind of hard to predict the ending)

    Reply

  139. Other than the Persona 4 adaptation(which I have a feeling will already be a top contender without my help) I’m really curious about Phi-Brain. This season seems a lot less exciting than the past two unfortunately…

    Reply

  141. Guilty Crown
    Last Exile – Ginkyou no Fam

    Unofficial 3rd choice – Persona 4

    As much as I’m gonna enjoy comedy series like Working!! etc, the top 2 look by far the most interesting shows.

    Reply

  142. 1. Lupin III
    2. Hunter x Hunter

    The other ones I’m interested in, I’m sure you’ll be blogging anyway 🙂

    Reply

  148. Don’t vote for the shows that he’ll most likely blog. Vote for the ones you want blogged that psgels is not interested in blogging.

    1. Shana III
    2. Tamayura Hitotose

    Reply

  157. Well, yeah, we could vote for crap anime like Battle Spirits Heroes and Maken-Ki or whatever, simply to be douchebags to psgels. Or, we could vote for good shows, the ones we want to see blogged.

    Reply

  164. Ben-To is going to be a show to look out for based off of one of the few creative light novels i’ve read in such a stale market i think it deserves as much attention as possible

    Reply

  172. -KIMI TO BOKU
    -Gundam AGE

    I’m quite surprised to see kimi to boku have such a high votes, but it does actually make sense. Other animes I want you to blog (P4, Un-Go, and Guilty Crown) have higher chance to be blogged by you without this voting event than Kimi to Boku.

    And I vote Gundam AGE because it needs more love.

    Reply

  181. Guilty Crown
    (psgels has it lower than I thought he would,also this season shows NoitaminA shows won’t always be blogged)

    Mirai Nikki
    Yes according to the preview the odds are that he’ll blog it but as a manga reader I absolutely want to be sure he’ll blog it.

    Remember folks,Usagi drop was rated a “90%” in the preview and ended up not being blogged

    Reply

  185. @totoum, there were only a few slots for the summer season; maybe that’s the reason why Usagi ended up in the Kaleidoscope. This fall season, however, I think we’ll have ten+ (?) open slots. I voted for Mirai Nikki because I wanna make sure he blogs it – but he’ll most likely will do it anyway.

    Also we’re seeing almost 200 votes. This might be a first.

    Reply

  191. Persona 4 All the way (hope it’s good, sorry psgels but I’m not sure of quality yet. The game rocks so I want you to see the anime.)

    Reply

  200. Hunter x Hunter (just out of curiosity)
    Mashiro-Iro Symphony (want to know whether it’s worth seeing)

    Reply

  204. Last Exile – Ginkyou no Fam
    and definitely Chihayafuru since the manga sounds pretty good.
    persona 4
    (glad i didn’t play the game yet)
    Mirai Nikki
    (even though the manga was a bit boooring -_-)
    Hunter X Hunter
    Guilty Crown

    Reply

  205. my vote is for Persona 4 and Gundam Age actually. Persona 4 cause I;m such a big fan of the games and I think it’s worth checking out while Gundam AGE cause I really wanna read your thoughts on this one 😛

    Reply

  230. Only Guilty Crown sounds like a worthy series to blog on.

    I prefer ambitious epics, but I do enjoy those slice of life shows like Usagi Drop as a break from the Steins;Gate types.

    Reply

  232. I’m sure you’ll blog Persona 4 anyways, given its popularity, so I’m going to say:

    1. Kimi to Boku
    2. Bakuman II

    Reply

  249. Chihayafuru & Guilty Crown … And I huge NO to Kimi to Boku. It’s so boring I quit half way thru ep. 2, not that I’ve been impressed with Persona 4 either. It seems most of the anime people like this season annoy the &*$% out of me for one reason or another e_e
