Hey there all you TAYers, Ani-TAYers, and everyone else who have stumbled across this post. Kotaku East's Richard Eisenbeis here. As the year comes to an end, it’s time to vote on your favorite anime series of the year.


Tomorrow, I will be posting Kotaku's picks for the top five anime of 2014, but before that I am anxious to see your picks.

For an anime to be included in the poll below, I have two rules.

1) The series must have finished its run in 2014. This means that still airing shows like Parasyte are not eligible, but 26-episode anime that started in fall 2013 are. Moreover, anime with split seasons where the second half has not yet aired—e.g., Aldnoah.Zero—must also wait till next year for consideration.


2) Movies, TV specials, and OVAs don't count.

It's also important to note that, unlike previous polls, you can only vote once on this one. With all that said, get to voting! And feel free to post why in the comments below.


*Note: If I missed adding a series to the poll you want to vote for that fits the above criteria, please drop me a line in the comments and I will add it.
