This thread is for voting in the Gina Group. The rules are the same as usual: in short, rank these films in your preferred order (maximum points go to the one at the top and minimum points go to the one at the bottom), and please just skip over any that you haven't seen.

If you're still unsure, you can find the full rules at this link. Any questions can go in the discussion thread.



The titles in this group are as follows:

Whisper of the Heart
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
From Up on Poppy Hill
Grave of the Fireflies


Voting round 1 starts now and ends at approx 6pm GMT on Saturday 15 January. Round 2 goes from approx 6pm GMT on Saturday 15 January until approx 6pm GMT on Tuesday 18 January. You can vote once in each round.

And that's it for instructions. Enjoy!

Whisper of the Heart
From Up on Poppy Hill
Grave of the Fireflies
Laputa: Castle in the Sky

*Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Grave of the Fireflies are above From Up on Poppy Hill because they got more first-place votes (1 each). Laputa: Castle in the Sky is above Grave of the Fireflies because it has more second-place votes (2).

Now, the second round of voting begins. Whether you voted already or not, you may vote one more time between now and about this time on Tuesday, when I'll calculate the final scores. You don't need to rank the films in the same order again, so feel free to give out your points however you want to!
