This is the thread for voting in the Otomo Group. The basic rules: 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 if there are any you haven't seen, please just leave those ones out. This part of the forum allows posts by guests, so you are welcome to participate even without registering/signing in.

Here are the films in this group:


Kiki’s Delivery Service
My Neighbour Totoro
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Ocean Waves


You get to vote once in each of the two voting rounds. Round 1 starts now and ends at approx 6pm GMT on Saturday 14 January. Once round 1 ends, round 2 begins and continues until approx 6pm GMT on Tuesday 17 January.

More detailed voting rules can be found here. If you have any questions, I'd appreciate it if you can ask them in the discussion thread.

Apart from that, have fun!

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind...
My Neighbor Totoro...
Ocean Waves...
Kiki's Delivery Service...

(of the four polls, THIS one, for me, was the hardest one to decide...)

It's a tough one, for sure. I think the groups are quite tricky in general this year though!

That's the end of the first voting round! Thank you for participating so far. The current standings are:

My Neigbour Totoro 5pts *
Kiki's Delivery Service 5pts *
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 5pts *
Ocean Waves 3pts

*My Neighbour Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service are above Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind because while they all have one first-choice vote, those two got more second-choice votes (2 each). My Neighbour Totoro is currently top because it has the very same record of votes as Kiki's Delivery Service, so the first voter (husky)'s preference is the decider.


The second round of voting now begins immediately! Whether you voted already or not, you can vote one more time between now and about 6pm GMT on Tuesday 17th. You don't need to rank the films in the same order again, so please allocate points as you wish!

round 2

My Neighbor Totoro...
Ocean Waves...
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind...
