[Zasz]

My nominations:

1) Magi: The magic labirynth
2) Jojo's bizzare adventures
3) Sword Art Online

[naruto-niichan]

I support Chuunibyou and Magi

[KingOfNight]

I support Magi.

[Valentinefriedman]

I did not see Miraii Nikki. Still I voted for Another (ok) and Sword Art.

[FaustXIII]

Hyouka didn't make it to the next round

[Doraku]

Hyouka didn't make it to the next round

I was sad about that too , but the nominees were so diverse, so I had to accept the reality that Hyouka didn't advance to the next round.

---------------------------------
Looking at the poll, the 5 finalists are having equal strong fan bases, so it's difficult for me to predict which one is going to win in this category. I'm glad that I have watched 4 of them so I could decide to cast my vote without too much doubt.

Sword art online! had to vote in this one! loved it xD

It's pretty amusing that the community is divided to such an extent when it comes to Sword Art. Some praise it as the best, others bash it as the worst. To me it's neither that great nor that bad. The first part was pretty good while the second part was pretty bad so to me it's somewhere in the middle. Definitely could have been a lot better if the author of the LN had put more thoughts into how to advance the story after the first arc.

Anyway, I wouldn't vote for it here nor in the Worst Series 2012 thread. I'm somehow divided between Magi and Jojo. Psycho-Pass is pretty good lately too but I feel like I need some more episodes before I can give it a proper judgement.

This, definitely. I totally agree. Not that I'm against SAO. Heck, I liked it quite much. Just that the second part died out a bit and decreased my overall score for the series. Is it bad? No, of course not.

I end up voting for PP. C'mon, PP fans, go and vote for it! XDD Psycho-Pass may be new but it has lots of potential and so far has been delivered well. I'm actually rather biased since I only watched SAO and PP from the nominees, but, oh well. XDD
