    >* High Tension Taxi Driver in CANAAN (41%, 102 Votes)
    Fuck yeah…

    Also, no Tsukiakari no Michitsurube for best opening? I’m disappoint, gg…

  2. Taxi driver forever plznthx.

  3. ’sup with the fucked up choices.

  4. OH DESIRE

  5. “IT’S TIME FOR SOME MOTHERFUCKING DEMOCRACY”

    I lol’d

    that image > the poll

    Go DTB2! ^_^

  6. Disable this, fuckers!

  7. Seeing a serious lack of Umineko in worst show category.

  8. Democracy FTW?

  9. Best Op Song

    * modern strange cowboy (Needless Op) (25%, 89 Votes)
    * JAP (Sengoku Basara Op) (24%, 88 Votes)
    * Namida no Mukou ~ grunty ver. (Gundam 00 S2 Op2) (24%, 87 Votes)

    oh lawl… totally explainable, tho.

  10. Bakemonogatari is the worst show ever made.

    • You mean best, right?? Of course you do, silly person, mixing up your superlative adjectives like that. What a shame.

    • In my opinion it’s not the best, but it’s definitely not the worst. :’0
      It’s a pretty good series! =’o What’re you saying?

      I say Eden of the East / Clannad ~After Story~ / Gundam 00 S2 are better than the ones on that choice. :’P

  11. wheres the love for trapeze :(

    i was surprised not a lot of people saw michiko e hatchin, i loved that show

  12. lololololwtf

  13. i haven’t seen most of the animes being nominated.. haha.. but for the rest that i’ve watched, EDEN OF THE EAST rocks! and their OP song is OASIS! who wouldn’t love that?

  14. I was pretty surprised that Hetalia wasn’t under the homo category XD

    But in all seriousness I kinda wish Hetalia was under more categories so that I could have voted for it some more~

  15. The fuck, y’all? Astro Fighter Sunred should be winning in all categories.

  16. >Achievement in Soundtrack
    * Kara no Kyoukai 7 (44%, 203 Votes)
    * Kara no Kyoukai 5 (34%, 156 Votes)
    * Kara no Kyoukai 6 (22%, 103 Votes)

    Ok… lol but true. (?)

  17. >Best Show of the Year
    >no Aoi Bungaku

    Fuck your shit.

  18. Don’t vote on this poll as it is clearly rigged. Instead, vote on the much fairer and far more accurate portrayal of the best anime of 2009 over at Animesuki’s forums.

  19. i hate K-on.. and wasted my time watching it…

  20. as for missed stuff, I notice no Basquash OP/ED (okay, /a/ hates the show) and no Bake ED… Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari was rather successful, and is a beautiful song.

  21. this polls is pure awsm LOL

  22. Best ED song/animation should go to Queen’s Blade. C’mon!

    • I totally agree with you, they even should have included it in the best show poll.

      Long live Queen’s Blade

  23. you faggots know way too much about these shitty shows

  24. Spice and Wolf could use some more love.

  25. We need democratic polls like this more often.

  26. John Jambo Jabalai

    So, DTB 2’s opening not listed? WTH? Oh, who cares anyway.

  27. I couldn’t wait to click Toradora for worst show of the year but it wasn’t there :””’-(

  28. If Clannad and Toradora are up there, I think Skip Beat should be a part of it as well.

  29. I feel the lack of Zan SZS disturbing…

  30. CLANNAD Fanboy here, so voted CLANNAD AS without any second thought. Have a bit respect for [gg] now, because other than Haruhi 2009, enjoyed the lot, a lot. Haruhi 2009 is easily replaceable by Skip Beat! Honestly. Also, Kemono no Souja Erin was as good as many shows in that first list. Also, the list is missing Kimi ni Todoke/FMA: Brotherhood. Well I guess the list was meant only for completed series/OVAs/Movies etc.

    There aren’t many disasters as Haruhi 2009, but Queen’s Blade is at a different level, so gets the worst anime vote.

    Here are my remaining picks:

    Best OP/ED goes to Zoku Natsume
    Best OP Animation goes to Eden
    Achievement goes to KnK7
    Achievement in faggotry goes to 07 GHOST
    High School Bullshit is all over Kampfer
    Shitty JRPG Adaptations > Both
    Historical Achievement goes to Hetalia, Futurotical goes to TM 8.0
    Best show I didn’t watch > WTF. None. /me adds to his ‘to watch list’
    Achievement in AWESOME > Don’t Care. Voted Taxi Driver.

  31. lolz Aoi Bungaku wasn’t really much of a worth to watch, but don’t get me wrong it was good but not really worth watching though.

  32. Best OP was Ep 10 of Bakemonogatari. Fuuuuuuuuu

  33. i think gundam 00 s2 is the best!!…..:(

  34. Glad to see you have Needless up there for best OP. Really enjoyed that show.

  35. Aww. No Tsukiakari no michishirube for ED song? Voted Yami wo kirisaku for its energy:D

  36. Needless ED Animation FTW!

  37. >Best Show of the Year (True Title: Most Overrated / Most Popular)
    >No K-On!

    bullshit. 10/10. troll harder.

  38. I think i am going to make the pic that says “It’s time for some motherfucking democracy” as my new wallpaper

  39. Democracy!.. loving this.

  40. Bakemonogatari is the worst anime show ever created.

  41. ucan'ttouchthis

    noone cares about ur opinion >:D wtf no DtB2 opening in best OP? that sucks

  42. Haruhi 2009 was definetly the worst anime of the year… and I can see many agree with me =D

    • I don’t! Haruhi was disappointing, but if you skip episodes 2-7 it’s not that bad. Definitely better than Kämpfer ))

  43. People are obviously still being little bitches over the fantastic Endless Eight troll.

    • Admit it. Even you are still bitching too…

      • I didnt think the endless eight was THAT bad. May be it was because I wasnt waiting on the Haruhi eps every single week I forgot about it and it built up. In fact is was kind of mysterious how every ep was sorta the same and I kept hoping for Kyon to break out of it.

        I think people need to wear their pantsu less tightly and just enjoy it, bitching over a show so much they didnt even pay for.

  44. “Best OP Song – Falling Down [Oasis]”

    Not in the list? FTW?!

  45. “Best Show You Didn’t Watch”

    I find it a little hard to answer this question :)

    • BaconMushroomMelt

      Best show you didn’t watch? It means you have to watch it to know if it’s good or not, which means it’ll no longer be a show you didn’t watch, which automatically disqualifies it from the list of-
      *brain explosion*

  46. This is some faggy shit. Good job. The comprehensiveness of the fag is actually impressive.

  47. Although Haruhi 2009 was extremely lame, it definitely wasn’t the worst anime of the year. P:

  48. Love the soundtrack category!

  49. Why no Sora no Otoshimono here?

  50. yall fags why is sprinter not winning

  51. it’s called Kämpfer not kampfer
    learn to write an Ä
    the amaricans could do it by motörhead

  52. Haruhi is a shit, why the hell its on the best show category.

  53. K-on definitely the worst show of the year.

    Glad people still believe in democracy. (´_ゝ`)

  54. you must really hate k-on /might be overrated but it was quite entertaining
    suggestions:
    best show people didn’t watch > birdy the might
    best op song > kiseki nirgilis
    best op/ed animation > basquash

  55. Best ed song >> kimi no shiranai monogatari

  56. lol at ~40 of the voters being scared away by the ‘achievement in soundtrack’ poll. All Kara no Kyoukai, but you didn’t watch any? Don’t worry, it’s clearly a troll.

    I voted 6 btw.

  57. “High Tension Taxi Driver in CANAAN”
    just epic

    “Haruhi 2009″
    epic.. fail

  58. Lancelot’s guns look like Super Soaker / Nerf guns…

    Anyhoo, the people who like K-On also tend to like Bakemonogatari, mostly for the same disturbed reasons I’ll never fully understand. If you put aside all the cutesy “moe” crap and drawn out dialogged “plots” about… not much?!?! What do you have left?

    Think about it.

    Of course, all this means squat coming from a Gundam fan, but, well…:P

    • I like bakemonogatari but I didn’t even watched one episode of K-On.
      And I’m a gundam fan too.

  59. I’m glad we can finally comment again!

    I loved CLANNAD and Haruhi 2009. NEEDLESS and Sengoku BASARA were such a joy to watch. The High Tension Taxi driver = FUCK YEAH.

    Also, bring back the comment system!

  60. The right answer is Sunred. Always.

  61. Astro Fighter Sunred deserves more fucking respect in this poll. I vote for dictatorship.

  62. >Achievement in Homosexuality
    >no Kanamemo

  63. *clapclap*

    WOO WOO

  64. Think DtB’s opening needs to have a bit of consideration as well…It was quite good

  65. Achievement in High School Bullshit – K-On! = Fuck Yeah !

  66. hellz yeah, valkyria chronicles > TotA

  67. I found it ironic that I have watched most of the shows in “The Best Show You Never Watched” category. Also I kinda mixed canaan with kanon up in my head for most of the poll lol shows how forgettable that anime was to me.

  68. Pssssshhh i guess not many have seen the opening animation for Astro Fighter Sunred!!! The animation is obviously the most kickass op on that list

  69. Fuck yeah……

    High Tension Taxi Drivers rule

    Totally awesome

  70. Sunred losing everything = Feels bad man

  71. Isn’t toradora from 2008?

  72. No mention of Kampfer under achievement in homosexuality? Come on, at least Kampfer deserves a nod for “Worst Show You Couldn’t Stop Watching.”

    Pleeease do the BD’s. ^_^ (Provided they do away with that annoying steam/fog and police tape)

  73. haruhi s2’s status at worst show is really apt… pity clannad s2 not included at that poll

  74. Fuck yeah~ gg, there is no democracy in this world!!! I know you know; You know I know >..<'')…

    All others all BS.

  75. Clannad s2 included in worst show? WTF

  76. Dude, where the hell is Umineko in Best OP? ><

  77. Whats up with the shittiest possible choices of OP?

  78. > Achievement in Homosexuality

    As in yuri? If so, Aoi Hana wins out of the ones I saw. :D

  79. Okay, seriously, what is this shit? Only 5% of people think Shangri-La is the worst anime this year? Does Gonzo hate mean nothing to anyone anymore? Over half of Haruhi ‘09 was the same episode repeated eight times and it was still better than Shangri-La. I have lost faith in the anime community.

    …the rating for Queen’s Blade is pretty accurate, though.

  80. ITT faggots who don’t know about Sunred.

  81. YUME DE KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS or YAMI WO KIRISAKU OH DESIRE

    How can one possibly decide? ;_;

  82. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 nice achievement!

    !!! YEAH! It will happen… SOMEDAY!

  83. Achievement in AWESOME

    * High Tension Taxi Driver in CANAAN (43%, 1,285 Votes)

  84. somefaggotwhyisnamerequired

    gg, you guys are faggots for canceling sora no woto.

    • sora no woto is available every week on crunchy roll. there isn’t much point of fansubbing it when most people will watch it there first.

  85. lol. bullshit.

    Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (It’s only a matter of time before it happens in Japan) (41%, 1,201 Votes)

    make it more than just 8.0, 8.0 still make sense.

  86. more love for eden of the east (best show category)?

  87. best op/ed aggressive zone from needless want

  88. Clearly, Eden had the best ED, I mean.. Who came up with that anyway? It’s cool.

  89. Achievement in High School Bullshit

    * K-On (39%, 1,337 Votes)

  90. Shin Mazinger was the best show and had the best OP song. The best two OP songs, infact.

    Of course, you faggots don’t even know about it.

  91. … I think Prussia deserves the achievement in awesome 8D /shot

  92. This poll is wacked! xD hahaha!

    Love that Lancelot pic. ♥

  93. I feel like I voted for all the underdogs, including Akikan to piss people off.

    Huh.

  94. where is the BEST FANSUB OF THE YEAR award

  95. What anime is that “its time for some motherfucking democracy” from?

  96. The faggot poll is still the faggot poll.

    Enjoy…

  97. High tension taxi driver in Canaan.

    FUCK YEAR!

  98. well i voted for clannad 2.
    bakemonogatari is no.1?
    haruhi was a piece of S.H.I.T.
    DtB had the best OP

  99. Kampfer one of the worst shows of the year?

    What a bunch of faggots.

    I love Kampfer!!!!!!!!!!!

  100. no phantom requiem?:(

  101. lol why is bakemonogatari on both the best and worst show of the year lists? and is it really possible to vote for the best show you didn’t watch? ^_^

  102. Achievement in Soundtrack
    Needless

    Best ED Song
    Your unknown story

    Jade > Valkyria Chronicles

  103. Bakemonogatari is awesome but I think Clannad ~AS~ deserves a first place…
    and the op. of ToA is the better of the ones on the poll…

  104. Aww, I feel bad that Hetalia was only listed once ;A;

    It has THE best EVERYTHING (but it’s ending is the shiz).

    Ah, what group subbed Tokyo Magnitude 8.0?

  105. What the hell is Namida Mukou grunty version?

  106. Bakemonogatari – jackpot jackpot! =)

  107. Why do people hate kampfer so much i loved it maybe because i find ecchi shows hilarious :O

  108. why are the only ones I watched in the “shows you didn’t watch” category???

  109. >Mizonokuchi Taiyouzoku (Sunred Op) (5%, 174 Votes)

    Son, I’m disappoint.

  110. sry but over all my favorite op song was falling down (oasis) for those that dont know or remember where its from it was the op for eden of the east. and i loved the ed for umineko.

  111. I totally agree with the best show Bakemonogatari( it’s even the best show that I’ve seen, I’ve saw over 500 anime series), I don’t get the people that gave it a low vote.
    I laughed a bit when I read the ” Achievement in Homosexuality”, the “Achievement in High School Bullshit” totally agree with it, why did I watch them?
    Eden of the East & Clannad ~After Story~ gets much from people that like romance with some humor, in the “Battle of the Shitty JRPG Adaptations” contain the worst series ever( NOT Bakemonogatari, those who doesn’t like this serie, doesn’t get it at all( probably not so good with psychical stuff, also like “Denpa Teki na Kanojo” in the same way)).

    Katanagatari( from the same author as Bakemonogatari) is just released today, is gg-sub also doing it?

  112. Lack of Eden ED win is disturbing.

  113. Who need that poll? because THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING DEMOCRACY.

    In other words:
    Best troller/drama: JAKA :-P
