Nominations for Best Anime Series of 2007

Topics Manga & Anime Nominations for Best Anime Series of 2007

In an effort to generate some discussion on BAF, I propose that we conduct our own voting to determine the best anime series of 2007. Since the 2008 Spring anime season will begin in mid-April, this should give us a chance to see what the peaks from last year were and generate some anticipations for the coming season. I have already discussed this idea with Tow3r, MK1, and a few other members, and have been researching it for the past month. At any rate, here is the proposed process:

1. This thread is used to determine the nominees.
2. BAF Members read descriptions of the series on the links below.
3. They then post which they think sound like the top four series in this thread.
4. Once the field is narrowed to four nominees, torrents will be posted and we will adjourn for a month to let the BAF members watch each series. During this time, threads will be established for each nominated series.
5. After everyone has had a chance to watch the nominated series, a poll will be created for one week for members to vote on which series is best.

A few ground rules for what can be considered.
1. No OVAs or Movies can be nominated (if this works out well, we can always create one for them).
2. Some series were continuations from 2006. In the case of these series, only the episodes from 2007 can be considered.

Alright, from my research, I have compiled a list of some of the more popular series from 2007. Read the description and post on which you think should be considered. Also feel free to add your own suggestions, just include a link:

Claymore (4)
Clannad (Episodes 1-12 only) (2)
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (Episodes 12 and onward) (1)
Darker than Black
Death Note (Episodes 13 and onward) (2)
Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai (Second Season of Higurashi)
Lucky Star
Miname-ke (1)
Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit (1)
Myself; Yourself (1)
School Days (1)
Shakugan no Shana (Second Season, Episodes 1-12 only) (1)
Sola (1)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2)

Alright, I added it to the list. Seems like a promising series, by the way. So, Ortherion, other than Morbito, Gaurdian of the Sacred Spirit, what other three series should be considered for "Best of the Year"?

Alright, I have added the suggestions from MK1to the list. I would ask that people reading this thread suggest what four they think sound worthwhile for the community to watch and vote on. For example, my suggestions would be:

Minami-ke
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Claymore
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

By the way, if you stop by IRC at #baf on www.irchighway.net and I am away, just shout out your thoughts and eventually I will get them.

With a total of 14 anime series from 2007 on the list, I think we have enough to start narrowing it down to four. Remember, you don't have to have seen the series to put it on your list. Read the descriptions, and if you find a series that sounds interesting put in on your top 4.

As for Tow3r, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe your top 4 were:
Clannad
Sola
School Days
Myself; Yourself

Hmmm, couldn't make up my mind, but well, my other 3 nominations will be Claymore, Death Note , both already mentioned, and Shakugan no Shana Second ...If that is all right.
