I'm glad you enjoy Negima, its a hilarious anime,
Also the suggestion for Ranma 1/2 is cool. I love that anime, despite it's age its still one of the best comical anime I have seen.

I am totally new here, so please forgive me if I sound like out of blue. I am interested to know how you guys decide which anime to show (based on genre or based on votes or its popularity). Is there somewhere a list where I can know what other anime will be shown when the current ones will come to an end?
But lets back to the topic..For future anime showings I would like to see:

Action:
1. Darker than black
2. Trigun or/and Gungrave (as it was mention in this topic)
3. Black Lagoon (both seasons)
4. Claymore
5. Gantz
6. Samurai Champloo or/and Samurai 7
7. Blades of Immortal

Romance:
1.Bokura Ga Ita
2. Honey and Clover (both seasons)
3. Lovely Complex
4. Midori No Hibi
5. Nana
6. Ouran High School Host Club
7. Nodame Cantabile (all)

Or these series were shown already?

Hi Natsume, thanks for the suggestions. The way we choose what to watch is fairly complicated... Writing an article explaining it has been on my todo list for a month or so now, I'll try to get round to it in the next few days,

Hey Rob, it's just my opinion but I think if people knew the system on how anime is chosen then I believe it would be easier for us to suggest something more... Anyway I'll look forward to your explanatory article

Just suggesting away is fine. There's nothing complicated in doing that. Only the committee have the difficult part, in choosing the right series' to put into polls, and committee choice selections.

Basically, you can suggest anything, and we'll deliberate over it.

We have the hard part - getting Ian to stop suggesting Utena. It's easy to tell him "no" though.

P.S. Thank's for suggesting Trigun. It's something we have difficulty deciding on which series slot to put it in, and ultimately never gets the backing. Although, I don't think it particularly matters which slot it goes into. Either way, it's probably best that one waits until after Desert Punk, or it's successor is finished.

Look Utena is just awesome even if you guys won't let me show it

i agree, it is awesome

Ianr, you remember the movie? Which we actually put on? That's why Utena keeps on getting blocked.

Admittedly the movie didn't make much sense, but I still liked it. It seems a shame to dismiss the series on the basis of the movie. The series seems to be held in pretty high regard by the community too, eg: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=207

In other news I might actually have a moment to write the article on series selection tomorrow, but don't hold your breath.

Ah fair point. It's only proper to give something the benefit of the doubt. Then again, popular isn't always the same as good, is it? I'm in no hurry to watch another fever dream anime, and I've learned to trust my instincts.
