Well tabulation would be much easier with one vote. How was it even done? some kind of preferential system?

A Shinshi episode! He's always been the least developed of the main cast, so it's nice to see him get a little more focus and to have his past explored a bit.

Kumagami is a weak character. Her main personality trait is that she excels at everything she does, and she doesn't have any flavor to her behavior beyond that, which makes her boring to watch. She's superficially similar to Kanuka in being ultra-competent, but she lacks Kanuka's spunk and roughness and so doesn't serve as an effective replacement.

Really great horror atmosphere, with atmospheric sound and camera angles. Happy to see Kumagami get a bit of character as well, with her perturbed reaction to the supernatural.

I hope you enjoy it. There aren't a lot of shows like it, so I don't know how it'll fit with your tastes, but if you liked those last three minutes, there's plenty more where that mood came from. As Hosanna said, this episode is meant to set up the boring routine of his life so we can understand how he changes.
As a teacher at a Japanese middle school, this might be a boring answer, but it depends a lot on the teacher and the student. One of the things about living in another culture is learning that, even if some generalizations tend to hold, they're more a framework than a rule. People are still people, so they handle things differently.
I'm working off a pretty small sample size, but teachers let a lot of misbehavior and disrespect roll off in order to keep the class running smoothly. But they'll probably have a lot less patience for a disrespectful kid that doesn't even try (like Nakamura) than they would for someone who goofs off, but also makes an effort sometimes. You can kind of tell by how he calls out her test score that there's been a history of this kind of behavior.
That said, even for the worst students I've had, I've never seen a teacher call them out for bad test scores like that, so it's saying something about the kind of person their homeroom teacher is, too.
out of curiosity to see what kind of impact this would have on last year i counted up what the top show votes were. the rankings actually changed. unless i counted wrong. i just did it fast.
best show of 2012 assuming votes did not change would be:
#1: Fate/Zero
#2: Hyouka
#3: Jojo
#4: Space Bros.
Tie for next best between Sword Art Online, Tsuritama, Kids on the Slope, and Humanity Has Declined.

Pulled up the spreadsheet to do a quick check. You're right on the top 4, but after that it goes down like this, if you count 1st place votes only:
edit: as long as we're doing random stats, here's what happens to the top ten if you go by total number of ballots each show was on, no matter the ranking:

Rewatch Digimon Tamers 2
Still going pretty slow. Rika is fighting, demonstrating new mechanics that will be seen in Tamers while we're going through. We get to see a new Tamer who will join us to form the Core 3 at some point in the near future, and this fucking dude was in Season 2 with Little Ken no less. He's hopping through dimensions, that motherfucker.
Of course.... Blagumon is causing a bit of a scare at school which made Takato look like he had a terrible night. Too bad Rika is there to attack them at the end.
Pretty slow beginning honestly.
Maybe because you fucking took him to school

Didn't realise it was so heavily in favour of the top 3 or that less than 10 votes gets you in the top 5. I wonder if knowing you only have 1 vote would make them disperse a bit or or make it even more top heavy.

The results are the least interesting thing about AOTY voting. 1 vote would prevent us from seeing people write up a bunch of interesting things about anime.
1 vote for every dollar spent on anime for the year.
I would have a lot of votes. Me, Cajun and DTL would run things I guess.
I'm really surprised that F/Z wasn't more popular on this forum than it was. I would have thought F/Z would have been more popular like Jojo or Shingeki.

That is way too fucking long.
Thats true. Seeing folks bring up shows I'd never even heard of, like Tsuritama, was much more valuable than seeing my beloved Hyouka triumph over all it surveys.

You start out with 10 votes, and you lose one for every episode of Sword Art Online you watched before dropping it.

Hopefully this is the last former villain teaming up with supporting character vs new one time villain where they give them a handicap from the very duel they are going to go through.

Basically, if you want the AotYs to be a equal and indiscriminate representation of what anime were most-enjoyed by all of NeoGAF, leave the rules as they are. If you want it to essentially be a high-visibility platform for AnimeGAF's favorites, amend the rules in a way that heightens the bar for voting participation. I'm not endorsing one path over the other, but this is the choice at the heart of the matter.

Nothing good in 2010?
I would go with the latter. I feel like if people have only seen one anime or something than they probably shouldn't be voting.

Malgraph is good for this kind of stuff, though now they don't display the month to month data in chart form.

I'm so far into the negatives then I don't even know what to do. Can there be a penance show to watch?
I was in some weird slump in 2010. Probably something to do with college.
I started K-ON!! on April 24, 2010, finished it on May 4, 2011, so sadly no.
The four are Seitokai no Ichizon, A Certain Scientific Railgun, Angel Beats, and So Ra No Wo To.
Maybe if Aniplex didn't splinter the OST.

There's no minimum for the GOTYs, are there? Setting one just seems exclusionary to me. As madp said, a platform for the favorites of animegaf.

Oh, I thought this was by series that started in those years.
AotY is serious business and I enjoy the endless speculation and machination.
Legend of Galactic Heroes, obviously.

I disagree. It gets really good before then. It just keeps getting better at that point.
For every show you vote for that isn't in the top ten is a month ban.
Gatchaman Crowds and Aku no Hana OSTs are my current favorites.
I still have this track from AnH on repeat every once in a while. So good.
