Hello everyone, I've been away for a while so many of you surely haven't heard of me (hi to everyone who remembers me!) I'm the guy that made all the previous "Best Anime of year X" and now that most series initiated in 2012 have finished, we're overdue to find the best anime of that year!
How shall we do this? I comb myanimelist.com for all the series which were aired (mostly) during the year 2012 and all the anime films that premièred in that year and which have an average rating of at least 7.0. (I'm leaving out OVA's, special episodes, recap movies and the such of ongoing or past series.) From this initial pool of 106 titles, we'll choose 64 titles to advance to the preliminary round from which the 32 best titles enter the proper competition.
