Continuation post.
Ok, so fuck it, I just need to set off some time even though I don't really have it.
Going through the votes for the new OP now. This post will be edited for the next couple of hours or so pointing out flaws in peoples votes, votes can then be changed for that specific vote I call out on or just have the votes I point out be removed. Of course, feel free to argue and prove that I'm wrong, as always I don't want the results of the list to be influenced by my personal feelings.

[B]Ashxu[/B] *RESOLVED*
Madoka Magica is not a supernatural show, it's purely magic, no supernatural elements to it. You've only voted for two shows in the supernatural category so I assume you just want the vote taken away?
[B]KStyleAzure[/B] *RESOLVED*
Space Brothers is not a drama. It's just a slice of life show, it has some drama techniques every now and then, but that's usually only on cliffhangers and not how the show itself is. All in all it's just a slice of life sci-fi show. A drama has dramatic moments and focuses on characters put in certain situations and how they handle them. With Space brothers it's the journey of one man and his brother, and how everything just simply turns out alright for them. It's not a drama.
Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimashita is fantasy, not supernatural.
[B]FalconKrunch[/B] *RESOLVED*
Akira is a movie, movies can only be voted for in the movie category, thus you can't vote for it in the 20th century category.
Same goes for 5 Centimeters Per Second in Drama. Paprika in Psychological. Akira in Science Fiction. Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo in Fantasy.
[B]HeroicPillow[/B] *RESOLVED*
I don't accept Welcome to the NHK as slice of life. The way the romance works in the show is very fictional and it uses a lot of comedy story telling and techniques as well as showing delusions in the show. Ore no Imouto is borderline but I'll let it go since it seldom exaggerates comedic situations and keeps to realism.
Fullmetal Alchemist is labeled as fantasy everywhere, so it should be voted for in the Fantasy section, not Supernatural.
Explain to me in what way Hunter X Hunter (2011) is fabulous.
[B]Fruityfruit[/B]
Since Clannad After Story is a second season you have to watch the first season for, I will count that vote for the first season.
Same goes for the very odd vote you gave for the second season of Haruhi Suzumiya. (which I also removed from sci-fi)
How can The iDOLM@STER be a slice of life? Explain beyond MAL calling it a SOL (ANN calls it a drama).
[B]Kidd[/B] *RESOLVED*
Nichijou is in NO WAY AT ALL a slice of life show. That's the whole point of the name, it's ironically called "Daily Life". Working! isn't slice of life either.
Tsuritama isn't sci-fi you silly goose.
[B]Kabuto[/B] *RESOLVED*
Lots of votes that gets me a palm in the face but still works. However, Heartcatch precure is not labeled as action on MAL (and ANN for some reason didn't label it anything at all). Explain to me why you would recommend this magical girl show to people looking for a action show.
Neither MAL nor ANN labels Taishou Yakyuu Musume as slice of life (which in itself severly disqualifies it for MAL's loose use of the genre even labeling AIR as Slice of Life). Seems more like it's a comedy sports show than a slice of life show.
Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon is not labeled as romance either. I assume this is some perverted harem shit as well.
Kaiji is a thriller, not a drama.
Tatami Galaxy isn't supernatural. It's not fantasy, magical, sci-fi or supernatural really. (it's psychological)
Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon is not supernatural either, it's fantasy and sci-fi.
Seitokai Yakuindomo isn't labeled as ecchi. I understand it so that they make some perverted jokes. But if it doesn't deliver a good amount of fanservice then it doesn't belong to the "perverted" category, because that's what it's for. Actually I'll rename it to "Fanservice" instead, makes more sense.
[B]Taggart[/B]
No, your korean movie is a movie and can not be put in the What The Fuck Am I Watching category.
Same argument about Seitokai Yakuindomo as I gave to Kabuto about having it in the fanservice category. Please do prove me otherwise if I am wrong.
[B]Jorori[/B] *RESOLVED*
Diebuster is a sequel to Gunbuster. Only your Gunbuster vote will be counted in Mecha.
[B]Daniellynet[/B] *RESOLVED*
No, you can't vote for movies outside the movie category. Your vote for Akira on the 20th century category is denied.
NO, you can't vote for Akira in the Sci-fi category either.
[B]ILY[/B] *RESOLVED*
You can't vote for movies outside of the movie cateogry. Your Midori: Shoujo Tsubaki vote in the What The Fuck Am I Watching category is denied.[/quote]
[B]koeniginator[/B]
You can't watch the EVA 2.22 movie before watching the EVA 1.11 movie, and you already voted for that movie. Vote denied.
How can The iDOLM@STER be a slice of life? Explain beyond MAL calling it a SOL (ANN calls it a drama).
Hyouka is not psychological, it's mystery.
Nisemonogatari is a sequel to Bakemonogatari, and you voted for both in Supernatural. Nisemonogatari denied.
Stahp! You can't vote for second seasons unless they are completely unconnected to the previous season (like Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu). Strike Witches S2 turned into Strike Witches vote in the fanservice category.
[B]omnomasaur[/B] *RESOLVED*
I'll only count your votes for Manga, Movie and 20th Century since you only repeated the same 3 shows for every other category. (Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, Heartcatch_Precure! and Tatami Galaxy)
[B]Dronaroid[/B]
For previously mentioned reasons Working! is not a slice of life show.
[B]AlmightyOran[/B]
Honey and Clover is for previously mentioned reasons not a slice of life show. (incredible amounts of drama and soppy super sad moments)
For reasons discussed and solved The Idolmaster is a slice of life show, and a SOL show can in no way also be a drama. And since I have 2 sources confirming that it's very much a SOL show and that the only drama-like part of it seems to be "they are trying to make it big" I can not accept that shit as drama unless you have a very good argument for why it's a drama and not a SOL, or some exceptional argument for how it can be both.
[B]Nintendo-Guy[/B]
Working! isn't a slice of life as previously mentioned. If people want a deeper explanation for why, then feel free to ask.
[B]TippZ[/B]
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Kokoro Connect isn't a slice of life, silly quack.
Like with everyone else, voting for a sequel just won't cut it. Nisemonogatari in supernatural is denied in favor for Bakemonogatari which you also voted for.
I see my votes have no problems!
[QUOTE=Orkel;38653782]I see my votes have no problems![/QUOTE]
Yeah because I haven't gone through them yet since they are the third last ones on the list.

What crashed into your head when you put The Tatami Galaxy under action?
And nowhere is Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon categorized as comedy. Explain. (you guys vote for this shit in every possible category ever)[/QUOTE]
It would have been helpful to include this stuff about "No sequels" and "No recommending anime 2nd seasons that don't make sense without having watched the first season first" in the rules at the beginning, you know.
Disappearance won't make sense without having watched the previous seasons (specifically Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody) so why isn't that against the rules?
Why am I allowed to have Kaiji in drama when you took it out for other people? Also I want to point out that according to your definition: (Favourite shows you loved for the story and situations/problems the characters have to face) Kaiji has a story. Kaiji encounters situations/problems that he has to face. I don't see the problem. Thriller and drama are not mutually exclusive and never should be as they overlap very often.
And I really, really don't want to argue about idolmaster being SoL as you have these incredibly strict definitions of what things are despite your definitions in the original template leaving a lot of things up to our opinion.
On that note, people really should be allowed to vote for whatever anime they want* in whatever category they want. If someone does something "stupid" like put death note in slice of life just count the vote like normal since no one else will likely do that so it won't even appear very high up in the final results. It's just causing more work for everyone.
*assuming it fits the other rules like "can only vote for a show once per category"

It goes without saying. When you recommend someone to watch something you don't act like a retard and say "skip the first season", because then you won't know shit about what happens.
You're allowed to change the votes for the ones I point out.
[QUOTE=koeniginator;38654425]Disappearance won't make sense without having watched the previous seasons (specifically Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody) so why isn't that against the rules?[/QUOTE]
Because it's a movie.
Also it follows the reverse logic of why you can't vote for sequels. It's a movie that takes over from a TV series, so if you want to understand the movie you have to watch the TV series. This also goes without saying as long as you actually look it up before watching it (no one should ever follow a recommandation blindly without doing any info check).
I understand your point here, but the movie category is for movies, that's the only rule there.

I put the other peoples vote for Kaiji in drama. Follow with the times boy. Kabuto told me why it should be a drama so I put it in drama. That's again why I'm pointing out things in the first place, so you can re-vote or explain why it falls under the category.
[QUOTE=koeniginator;38654425]And I really, really don't want to argue about idolmaster being SoL as you have these incredibly strict definitions of what things are despite your definitions in the original template leaving a lot of things up to our opinion.[/QUOTE]
If you don't want to argue then I'll remove it. This is your chance to prove me wrong, I haven't watched it so I have no idea and just go by the information I can grab from MAL and ANN. From what I can grab and already know about Idolmaster by themselves, it does not sound like a slice of life show.

No, that would be fucking retarded. The point of the OP is to recommend a show to people looking for those kind of shows.
If someone are looking for a comedy show, I make sure they don't get a super brutal murder show. It's labeled under a category, and everything that is in that category damn well is that category, so people can actually watch something that is good when they want to watch a show of that kind.
If I was recommended a show for being a great comedy, and it turns out it was a gunsblazing action show with murder and no jokes at all, then I would fucking punch the guy in the face and never trust him/her ever again.
No, the votes will not sort themselves out, people vote for stupid shit in wrong categories, and have done so since I started making an OP for this thread, was about... 4~5 years ago now.

Look, Chunkymonkey is so kind of a person he actually backs your shit up like you should have done in the first place instead of being a baby about it.
[quote=Chunkymonkey on steam]idolmaster is literally about a small music label or whatever trying to make their talent popular. so the show follows their escapedes such as preformances, gigs, and training. there is nothing out of the ordinary besides how such a small company can support so much talent.[/quote]
Do any of you guys know of any manga or anime (preferably the later) involving, or based around graffiti? As one of my many hobbies, the media portrayal of it and what others believe it to be interests me. I want to see if anyone has tried to make anything off the underground culture that is graff, and if they have done well or not.

Except it can be. Black comedy has no limits; that's the point of it.
[QUOTE=dgg;38654714]It goes without saying. When you recommend someone to watch something you don't act like a retard and say "skip the first season", because then you won't know shit about what happens.[/quote]
What if it's not that you're telling them to skip the first season, but to watch the first season to understand the second season because the second season is actually enjoyable, even if the first season might be totally uninteresting. Typically if you see an anime recommended, you watch the first few episodes and if you think it's fucking awful you stop watching it.
Muv Luv Extra + Muv Luv Alternative come to mind.

So what're you gonna do, specify that you recommend watching season 1 and 2 before watching the movie if it gets in the OP list? Why can't you do that for the above?

It's a slice of life cause for the first half of the show it's something like 60% cute girls talking about or doing pointless things. It's kinda like K-on with less exaggerated expressions, more music and a drama arc near the end.

One stupid vote doesn't mean anything for the final result- which is to get the list of recommendations. Anything with less than 2 votes is outright ignored. If you took the current results no questions asked, would this even cause any of these anime we're trying to avoid to fit the criteria to be mentioned in the list?
[QUOTE=sixtyten;38655018]Except it can be. Black comedy has no limits; that's the point of it.[/QUOTE]
Super brutal murder =/= comedy.
Black comedy is not just straight up violence and gore. You can kill someone, but that isn't the focus, the focus is why, and possibly how, the things that makes it into a comedy.
My point is that SUPER BRUTAL MURDER is not in any way black comedy, because that's focus on the killing, the gore, the murder. That's not comedy, that's gore, splatter, action and/or horror.
[QUOTE=dgg;38654935]Super brutal murder =/= black comedy

Fargo and Burn after Reading both have brutal murder but they're black comedy.

You're telling someone to torture themselves for several hours to get some POSSIBLE enjoyment out of the next few hours that comes afterwards.

When I'm talking about SUPER BRUTAL MURDER I am talking about the general theme of the show. Hellsing Ultimate and SAW is "super brutal murder"

Yes, I am telling someone to watch something boring or bad to enjoy something that's good because that happens sometimes in every form of media. There's a reason Muv Luv Alternative is the highest rated VN on VNDB and in contrast, Muv Luv Extra is fucking awful and it's 30 grueling hours, (equal to about ~60 episodes of a typical anime series)
[quote]I don't even know what you're talking about, and I gave a quick summary of every genre for the vote list this year to make it more clear.[/quote]
I mean you don't want stuff like [url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/11111/Another]Another[/url] because not everyone is going to find the cheesiness to be funny. Another wasn't created as a comedy, it was created as a horror, but in a lot of people's eyes it didn't do a very good job of that. Add a little thing in the genre for comedy to "Please don't include shows that you found funny because they are 'so bad or cheesy that they are enjoyable'"
[quote]Yes.[/QUOTE]
