It's not a war drama, it's not a love story, it's not a parody; it's all of them and more.... pity about the ending, though.

It's because people keep trying to look smart by picking obscure anime.

The only anime I don't know at all that's on the first page is Mx0, Eureka Seven and Geneshaft.

I suppose Darker Than Black is...obscure.

Baka Test certainly isn't exactly what i'd call obscure either, and it was the second last round to die.

surprised Someone revived this!? Glad you like it! If you want to continue, I'll see what I can do latter today between classes. Use hindsight to see if I want to change any rules and all that jazz. (already thinking that we may want to make a list of shows, see how many people want to enter on a particular one, and then start rounds based on that... but then there is no "reward" for entering... have to think this through a bit)

@airing shows: Be that as it may, my reason for saying "no shows with less than a season" is simple: A number of shows have a Genre Shift or plot-changing reveal late in their first season. Though I do agree Dog Days would be perfect.

I don't think it's that people don't care about Nadesico. I think it's more that everyone, even Belian, has things to do in real life that gradually killed the interest in this thread.

I wasn't really being serious. Still think the show Needs More Love, though. In general, nineties anime seems to be mostly forgotten these days.

I think this makes a X2 REVIVE COMBO.

*ahem*

Anyway, I am thinking that we need a slight change to the rules. As far as I can tell, the main thing that was slowing down the thread was the not getting new titles right away. To change that, the only thing I can think of is to throw out the "reward" for winning and, instead, use a FIFO method where:

  • each person makes a single title suggestion
  • we go through the list on a First-In-First-Out order
  • after a person's suggestion is used they can make another one.

If we can't get enough entries/votes after a reasonable amount of time, we just move on to the next one.

I have thought of at least one other way of doing it that takes some of the power out of my hands and spreads it around, but that would make it HARD to keep track of what everyone is doing, who is voting on what, etc.


Here is where we currently stand (the votes re-set because of how long it has been)

By the way, since it's restarting, you really need to allow old series to be used again. I think the game is just going to die again, but it'll help. Maybe.

[up]At what point did I say we couldn't go back and redo a title? It just depends on someone wanting to re-submit it.

No comments on my idea? Well, I'll just start using it for now. Also, if people want me to, I can drop the "can't make an entry to your own title" rule. I had already discarded it for the slower-moving titles anyway. Don't expect me to drop the "can't vote on your own entry" rule as well. That one is staying. evil grin

I honestly don't remember saying that it couldn't be done. Now, people asking if a title has been done before and pointing them to the OP, THAT I remember doing and could be interpreted as saying that we should not use the same titles. I might have even said that we should wait on re-doing a particular title because it had just been done. But saying I absolutely would not allow it? Not that I recall.

If you prove me wrong, I have no problem with that and will not be offended.

I don't know if you did or not, but people have tried to pick something (let's say Bleach since I don't remember the actual series) at which people spoke up to say that series had already been done. Even though it hadn't been done for quite some time.

Anyway, I guess I'll go ahead and vote for Noimporta for Hunter.

Anyone else want to add a title to the "next in line" list? I will withdraw my addition to it if people insist, but I think we could get some good entries for it.
