Gone through all the votes, here are all the point outs on the votes. You may change votes that are wrongly placed so that you can take use of your voting rights. You can of course also argue for why it's a valid vote for the category.
You can not change votes that are not pointed out of course.
I'll leave the votes alone for 2 days, if every issue hasn't been resolved by then, then I won't change them and your vote will just simply be removed for reasons stated. So for the moment I will only work on images for the shows that will win no matter what you change your votes to.
[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 show about two people trying to be astronauts, 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 relaxed 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 illusions in the show. It's a psychological show peeking into the ways of the human mind and why people end up in certain ways or situations.
Ore no Imouto is borderline slice of life but I'll let it go since it seldom exaggerates comedic situations and restricts itself to realistic approaches.
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] *RESOLVED*
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]
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] *RESOLVED*
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]
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.
[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.
Seitokai Yakuindomo isn't a fanservice show, doesn't fit in the perverted 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.

Nah, by this time there were 2-4x more than that.
Not all that unusual to get over 200 in a span of 1-2 hours.
Wow, you can tell there was a different director for ep 10 of shinsekai yori.
All of a sudden every camera angle is directly behind saki's butt, or just generally focusing around that region. I've counted about 8 different types of those shots and i'm not even halfway through.

I hate when a character gets socked in the face and they have ugly bruises for the entire episode. It's annoying because I'll spend the whole time thinking "get that disgusting purple blotch off your face". You have to look at them for the next 20 minutes and it's hard to take them seriously when they look like they've contracted bubonic plague.

Manga, Fabulous, Fanservice and Fantasy will be cut out for general lack of votes and diversity.
Feel free to rummage through and point out flaws that probably are there that I haven't noticed.
[QUOTE=Winner;38661734]The higher quality videos didn't have subs, I had to use MKVcleaver to get them from the lower quality videos[/QUOTE]
You shouldn't need to install fonts no matter what.
Also MKVToolnix is a better tool IMO.

That doesn't make any sense.
I can't imagine what stores you use that cause you this kind of hassle, not even finding subs for good bluray or DVD quality CD's.
If Seitokai Yakuindomo in the perverted section is a no-no,change my vote into comedy pls.
You can replace it with Gintama

[/QUOTE]
We had an argument over this last voting, in which I systematically proved by referencing supernatural occurrences in the show which could not be explained under the veil of *psychology*, that Tatami Galaxy falls into BOTH the supernatural and psychological categories.
I would link to it here, but I simply have no way of locating a conversation that took place so long ago.
I'm not going to argue about this again, since you'll just refuse to admit that you're wrong as you did last time, but I just couldn't help but bring it up.
[QUOTE=Winner;38662137]A couple minutes to figure out the subs isn't a big deal ;o[/QUOTE]

The shows doesn't fit in many of the genres.
You're voting for the exact same show all over without any reason other than "I like this show so I want it in every possible genre it fits, even though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for that genre".
It's a lazy no effort "i don't want to vote" vote. Stop putting the blame on me for your lack of effort. You're just copy pasting the same shit over and over.

Don't put words in my mouth. While my vote's main purpose may be to mock the flaws I have with the voting system I stand by it and would recommend those shows for any of those categories.
As I said before I don't care if you don't count my vote, but don't make it look like I'm saying something that I am most certainly not.
Furthermore I don't really see why you care, it's not like the shows I voted for are going to win or anything.

Yes, I truly believe you would recommend Tatami Galaxy for someone looking for a Slice of Life or Mecha show.

I picked on that when I went through your votes, I had many more to go through. This is only a conclusion you can come to when you have every vote up. You don't vote by seeing what everyone else has voted first.

This is going to contain heavy Tatami Galaxy spoilers so I'm just going to tag the whole thing.
[sp]While used as a psychological tool in the underlying theme of the story, the time resets and the 4.5 tatami dimension that Main Character (his name is never given) becomes trapped in are indeed supernatural occurrences.
I gave specific episode numbers and times for this last time but I don't want to look that up again so you'll have to find the parts I'm going to reference by yourself this time.
During the episode in which MC (main character) joins the bee cult, he actually sees the later version of himself who is trapped in the 4.5 tatami dimension come through the window while he is moving from room to room. This is shown again from the other point of view when MC is exploring the 4.5 tatami dimension near the end of the series. Bee cult MC reacts to himself and slams the window preventing 4.5 dimension explorer MC from coming further into the room, but he did have his head through in a portal sort of fashion. This really doesn't make sense if nothing supernatural is happening.
Furthermore if there's nothing supernatural going on then how is the appearance of thousands of moths from the 4.5 tatami dimension explainable. The whole town reacts to the moths and MC even talks about it being in the paper the next day. [/sp]
While Tatami Galaxy is indeed built upon psychological themes it is without a doubt also supernatural.
I have no desire to argue this further so if you still don't believe me that's fine. I know I'm right.
Another quickie rant.
I only really enjoy anime combat if I can gauge the strength of all the contenders. That's why I hate super heroes, they act like they are in a life and death situation but they just never lose. It's ok to have an ace up your sleeve but it's gotta be justified. [I]Damnit Lelouch, stop pulling that shit out your ass. There's no way you can foresee all that crap, it's plain dumb luck.[/I]

Even if the show has 1 single supernatural thing in it, you wouldn't consider it to be a supernatural show. If you were to recommend that someone watches a show for it's supernatural elements, and they didn't see any supernatural occurrences until the final episode, at the final moment, it'd be a bad recommendation.

Actually I would. Tatami Galaxy is good enough that I'd recommend it to anyone despite what they're looking for.
Also Tatami Galaxy actually fits into slice of life pretty well, the whole story is about Main Character's different slices of college campus life.
I've stated before though that some genres are defined subjectively and slice of life is definitely one of those.
Anyway I'm done here since I'm gonna play some mahjong, but since you're dgg I imagine you'll have to get the last word.
[QUOTE=ScottyWired;38662421][I]Damnit Lelouch, stop pulling that shit out your ass. There's no way you can foresee all that crap, it's plain dumb luck.[/I][/QUOTE]
That's the point. A real man takes any opportunity and uses it to its full extent. It's the same thing as when his plan fucks up, he doesn't backtrack or make excuses, he makes the full use of that situation to make himself seem like he has planned everything. That is why people trust him as Zero.
[QUOTE=omnomasaur;38662479]Those are just my examples, there's [sp]time travel[/sp] every episode.[/QUOTE]
I haven't seen tatami galaxy in quite a while, but isn't that just him [sp]invisioning what would happen when he chooses a specific "route" to take in highschool on the very first day of school at the opening ceremony where all the clubs are? Like every single episode is him imagining what his life would be like if he took a specific club. That would be primarily psychological, and him wishing that he wanted to go back in time was just his cue to stop invisioning that route and see what a different one was like. No actual trim travel involved.[/sp]
