Vote for the Best DVD/BD Release of the Year (2012)

[Damius]

It's time! I can't believe it's already time to vote for the best of the year...

Which of these titles do you think was the best of 2012?

Please note that unregistered votes will NOT count.

Well, since your personal best of the year may not be one of the choices, I decided to add an "Honorable Mention". You can use the "Honorable Mention" for your personal best of the year or you can use the "Honorable Mention" for your biggest surprise of the year or anything else you want.

Since it's my favorite show of 2011 and it's a part of my Top 10 and I like the ending so much my vote goes to:

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Vol.3 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE)

[FUNiOP]

Steins;Gate, Part 1 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE) [September]
Honorable Mention - Clannad After Story: Complete Collection (Blu-ray)

And since there are so many great choices, I'll go ahead and rank what I can:

01. Steins;Gate, Part 1 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE) [September]
01. Steins;Gate, Part 2 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo) [December]
03. anohana - The Flower We Saw That Day: Complete Series Premium Edition (BD/DVD Combo) [July]
04. Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Vol.1 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE) [February]
04. Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Vol.2 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE) [April]
04. Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Vol.3 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE) [June]
07. Fate/Zero: Blu-ray Box 1 [Import] [March]
08. bunny drop: Complete Series Premium Edition (Blu-ray / DVD Combo) [August]
09. Bakemonogatari: Complete Collection (LE) (Blu-ray) [November]
10. Redline (Blu-ray) [January]
11. Durarara!! Blu-ray Lunch Box Set (LE) [October]

I haven't gotten Dirty Pair, and I haven't gotten this Durarara!! set either, but I think it's safe to put it there. Overall, it was a really great year on this front. Most of these titles are among my all-time favorites. For my overall favorites of the year, see this article. As you can see, most of my choices for that ended up on here, so I'm happy to see that.

FUNiOP, of course it's your choice, but why not adding an an "Honorable Mention" for Clannad After Story: Complete Collection (Blu-ray)? (You were the one who gave me the idea since you said that your real favorite would not be included at the end of the year.)

Oh, sure. Good to know, thanks.

09. Bakemonogatari: Complete Collection (LE) (Blu-ray) [November]
10. Redline (Blu-ray) [January]

This top 10 doesn't work for this poll. The poll is different from the one over at TFP. For example, Natsume's Book of Friends: Seasons 1 & 2 Premium Edition [October] is not a part of it so you would need to remove this one, but you may want to add this: Steins;Gate, Part 2 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo) [December].

I love how all 3 Madoka LE sets are in this.

Madoka LE3 or Bakemonogatari for me.

Oh right, hold on a second.

I had to vote for the Dirty Pair: Original Features Collection because it was the only thing in the poll that I bought. But I think that the remastered video, two dub tracks, and general Nozomi quality do make it a nice release.

I am going to take advantage of the "Honorable Mention" to mention two things, in order of preference:
K-On!! Blu-ray sets 1 and 2, because K-On! is my favorite franchise. The anime, manga, and music are all at the top of my lists. The extras for this release are not very impressive, but the Blu-ray discs look and sound great.

InuYasha: The final Act Blu-ray set 1. The InuYasha anime and manga are also near the top of my lists, and this release looks and sounds very good.
