I never understood the whole hipster logic where something is rarely liked, that it is some how better. All anime is just a different combination of things that have been done before. If that combination was good, it would be widely known. Every time someone says something like, "I like this underground band that no one else has heard of.." It’s guaranteed to be shit, and that person is a hipster douchebag. Do not emulate those people.

*insert other popular openings that get copyright strikes*

If it’s zero gain then why does facebook, youtube, G+, etc have it?

I don’t want anonymous posts, but sage would be nice.

1.) More people that join anilist the more likely it is to succeed. Being home to multiple individuals in a group instead of a single account shared by a group would be instrumental to this.

2.) A simple falling out can prompt someone to highjack and sink the group account, and anyone from the outside wouldn’t know the difference. In system where individuals are show we can all blame the individual and not the group, allowing the group to persist here at anilist.

That is a good question. I see this place doesn’t have an anonymous posting option, which leads me to believe they want individuals associated with their comments for accountability reasons. Now how do you hold an individual accountable for post made using a group account? Tricky situation. Implement a system to associate individual accounts with a group account, or some kind of tripcode would probably be the best way to solve this.

how are you to find out the results if you don’t watch his videos? I don’t care if I offend or break his youtube audience. If you want to know the results, just look at anilist’s top 100 popular anime. Hell, you can even break it down by year if you want. Far more informative and you don’t have to leave the site.

Let’s call someone names because their argument makes sense. Classic. But, anyway, thank you for agreeing with me that this poll is useless for finding the best anime, and only serves to gain clicks on this guys channel/video.

Why would anyone spend more than five minutes on a username? Is my username that important to you?

I never clicked on the google docs, good way to get viruses. So I have no idea if this was preselected anime that you can choose or anime you can submit. If it’s the same polling method that was used for the japanese survey, then I he would have to do it the same way if he wanted to compare them instead of making a good top 100 anime list. The top five seems like a crappy way prone to errors and trolling. Especially when there is no defined rating system. That means it’s just a popularity contest. You’re going to get a list of the top 100 most popular anime. The reason for making it about TV shows is to make it blind, and get results from people that dislike anime. Simply knowing this is for the best anime will bias the samples, people are going to vote for what they want to appear whether it’s the best or not. Knowing it’s for some youtuber will also bias it. IE: trolls wanting to make him look stupid or people that know him and suggest his favorite anime. Only selecting anime fans will give you bias since they are a small percentage of the world population. Casuals and non anime fans opinions should be considered. Yes that includes your mom. She can rate anime as well without knowing their names, based on what ever criteria is selected for rating. Not weighing by country will give you bias, if 100 out of the 101 submission are from USA then it’s the best anime in USA survey.

In the next episodes preview of the previous episode they said this episode was anime original about froppy, which is code word for filler/fanservice.

Falling victim to a tentacle monster is a common way to do fanservice.

Kind of a meh fanservice episode. I guess they want to be more respectable than fairy tail or dragonball.

PS: this is furthered by the need for "anime fans" and not just people.

If you can only rate five anime then it’s a top five anime list at best.

What he needs to do is create a top 100 TV Show poll which has about 500 TV shows with roughly 200 anime mixed in (gathered and averaged from all the anime list sites). That way it would be a rather blind study with enough data to generate a top 100 list. He would also need to create a rating system to judge the TV shows, and a system to determine country of origin to weight the world view.

This is just what I got after five minutes of thought. Since he didn’t even put this amount of effort into it, I feel he doesn’t want an accurate top 100 anime list. He probably just wants to grow his youtube audience and get more ad revenue.

Pretty sure she’s a necromancer.

So it seems we’ll have a filler fan service episode, then an explanation on the origin of One for All.

When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child; now that I am a man, I have no more use for childish ways.

Lidas qurk doesn't make sense. It’s mechanical not magical. Plus where did the ice go when he was jumping?

I like to think they all stopped because of his qurk, like a secondary version that required more concentration that he can only use when not fighting.

This dudes got a split personality complex.

I don’t think that substance or meaning will ever come out of this. Fate Zero itself didn’t have much either, and this is just a cheap superficial clone.
