Poll: Help me choose a series for my Spring 2024 lineup!

March 30, 2024

Spring 2024’s anime lineup looks incredible, especially when it comes to sequels and reboots… to the extent that I’ve not got much room in my lineup for the all-new titles! So once again, I turn to my blog readers for help narrowing things down.

Here are three anime that interest me, but didn’t quite make the cut due to the strength of their competition. But one more won’t hurt! Vote for your favourite, and I’ll squeeze the winner in somehow.

Yes, I skipped a season with these polls… though my winter list did feature the continuation of past winner Synduality Noir!

Here’s some info on the series, in alphabetical order, plus my brief comments about them. Or, skip to the bottom of the post if you just want to vote. 😛

Poll: Help me choose a series for my Autumn 2023 lineup!

September 24, 2023

It’s that time again – a new anime season is just around the corner, and I’m looking for help to decide what to watch weekly.

I’ve already narrowed down the anime I most want to watch this autumn to 11 series, a number that’s always in danger of rising the more I look over the various chart and listing sites! But, I definitely have room for a 12th. Here are three that didn’t quite make the cut – vote for your favourite, and the winner will join my lineup!

Summer’s poll winner Synduality Noir has been a lot of fun, and I’ll definitely be watching Part II in 2024!

Poll: Help me choose a series for my Summer 2023 lineup!

June 28, 2023

Since I’m still waiting for a few Spring series to end before I can post my final thoughts, and since the last poll went well, here’s another!

I’ve narrowed down the anime series I most want to watch this Summer to 14 series, and expect to start a few this weekend. But, here are three more that didn’t quite make the cut – I don’t have time to watch them all, but vote for your favourite, and the winner will join my lineup!

The previous poll winner, Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia, has been brilliant so far!

Poll: Help me choose a series for my Spring 2023 lineup!

March 31, 2023

I’ve managed to post once a month for the last 13+ years, and I’m not going to stop now! But the Winter season hasn’t quite ended, still waiting on a few stragglers, and it’s been too busy a month with work and anime conventions for me to prepare anything else. So, for the sake of getting something out with a March 2023 timestamp, let’s have a poll! WordPress has changed how they work since my last one, so this should be interesting…

I’ve narrowed down the anime series I most want to watch this Spring to 10 series, with a few starting as early as tomorrow! But, with so much airing each season these days, there are always some that just miss out on a spot. Here are three series in that predicament. Vote for your favourite, and it will join my lineup!

Ousama Ranking will likely be in my lineup, along with at least three other continuing series!

Last August, I asked my blog readers to vote on which series they’d like me to review. There were two winners. One of the series, I finished only a couple of months later, as I quite enjoyed it. Here’s the other…

January 17, 2021

I’d originally planned to post my Top Anime of 2020 list this week, and have most of it drafted already… but that would be my 5th list post in a row, and they’re all starting to look the same. 😛 Back to gaming instead~

500 Word Game Reviews: Democracy 3

November 15, 2020

Sticking with the strategy simulation theme, but rather than planning ancient cities, this time we’ve got an entire country to manage… what’s the worst that could happen?

500 Word Game Reviews: Caesar IV

November 1, 2020

Impressions Games’ series of city builders, especially Caesar III and Pharaoh, were a big part of my childhood. But Caesar IV, released 8 years after its predecessor and using a completely different engine, was all new to me…

Summer 2020 End of Season Rankings

October 4, 2020

Time for my final thoughts on the anime of Summer 2020… plus a few that technically started in Spring. This year has been a mess. Still, the small lineup meant that I ended up giving a chance to some shows that otherwise would have been dropped fast – did it pay off?
