The end of the year is just around the corner, so someone had to make this thread. As it's a known fact that NeoGAF loves animes and lists, we're here to vote only for the truly good shows of this year's catalogue, so that the next generations will be able to find a good list of anime recommendations. Of course, you're also welcome to praise your favourite series or laugh at other people's inferior taste, but keep it civil!
Categories:
There are two of them.
Series of the Year - Top Ten
Films and OVAs of the Year - Top Five
Films and OVAs of the Year - Top Five
Not sure what your favourite anime is? Basically, if it follows an episodic format and you watched it weekly or monthy, on the web or the TV, it's probably a series. Otherwise, it's an OVA/film. If you're still not sure, you could always search or ask here.
! Important Notice: Eligible for this voting is anything that had even one episode broadcast in Japan during 2015. If it started in 2014 or if it will continue airing during 2016 doesn't make it ineligible, so keep this in mind when you make your lists. American animated series, like Steven Universe, are ineligible, sorry.
Rules:
1. You can make two lists (numbered or not), and both of them will be in descending order based on how many points you assign to each show. For the series, you give 10 points to the first one, 9 to the second and so on, and for OVAs/films you start with 5 points.
2. You don't have to vote on both of the categories.
3. You don't have to vote only ten and five series and OVAs/films respectively. You can actually vote less than that, even just one if you feel like it. Also, any honorable mentions will not get points, so make sure to mark them appropriately. Feel free to add as many shows as you want, but take notice when you make your list that anything after the ones that get points, will get nothing.
4. If you want to change your list, please edit your post before this thread is locked. (31/01/2016 23:59 UTC)
5. Please try to add comments for as many shows as you can. It's not mandatory, but it will help in order to have some meaningful discussions here.
6. When you name a show, try to use the full English name of it and don't use abbreviations or nicknames.
! Please, try to follow this guideline !

1. Series A; Your thoughts on Series A.
