Which Autumn Series do you want me to blog?
Next up in the category of “ah, why not?”, I figured that it might be interesting to revive a little contest I held a year ago. Before the start of the spring and autumn-season of 2007, I ran a small poll where readers could nominate an upcoming series. The one with the most votes would be blogged, no matter what, which resulted in me blogging first Claymore and then Gundam 00.
I decided to not do the same for the past spring-season because I needed a small break from it, but it’s a fun thing to do about once a year. Especially since this time I’ll have no idea which show I’ll be forced to blog until I watch its first episode.
Anyway, here are some concrete rules:
- To make a valid vote, drop a comment leaving your selection. You can select up to two series from the upcoming Autumn season.
- The anime with the most amount of votes in the end will be blogged for at least 12 or 13 episodes (in the unlikely event that the series in question becomes way too much of a chore to cover).
- Here’s a list with the shows that are scheduled to air. (At least, that’s what I assume. Notify me if it isn’t complete).
- No direct sequels; that’s just boring and predictable.
- Apart from that, I accept any series with an airdate between September 25th and November 11th (yes, those were the first dates that came to my mind)
- Please refrain from spoiling synopsises or staff lists. I’m still trying to enter the Autumn Season with as little information as possible about the upcoming shows, and I’d like to keep it that way.
- The poll will end at September 30, 23:59 GMT. All votes that arrive after that will be ignored.
