Well, maybe it's that time once again to vote for your favorite bishoujo game based anime series of... last year.
Hmm... I almost forgot that I have been doing this survey of sorts.
2005 has some real strong contenders this time, and finally we're entering into bigger territory (some anime that ran for more than a 13-ep. season). What are your favorites? You can pick multiple items but please do limit to 1-3 so that we can see a trend.
Previous year results:
2003 (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=3030)
2004 (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=25136)
Also please note that Canvas 2 cannot be included because it is still running. Again Nanoha A's is technically not based on a game but it is a spinoff from a game (Triangle Heart).

I'd have to go with AIR. Great series, especially the summer arc. It may not have been a perfect adaptation, but it was better than most. Not to mention the great animation. Kyoani FTW!

AIR over Lamune and Shuffle!
But what about Canvas2? I'd rate it second to AIR.

Ah, good thing that a multiple choice is possible. Else it wouldn't be a contest with AIR airing in 2005. :)
Anyway, besides AIR I voted of course for Tama-nee, eh To Heart 2, and Comic Party Revolution. Granted, the latter does have less and less to do with the game but I liked all the parody stuff. Too bad most people tend to overlook it, it's for sure an otaku recommendation. :)
Too bad that Canvas2 isn't on the poll, but it'll be a sure vote for '06 then. ;)
Hmm, nothing else to add, besides "curse you DCSS for wasting yet again 26 episodes". :P

Mine went to Nanoha, Air and Shuffle. Although I still watch everything on the list I find the others dropped the ball at some point, never picked it up to begin with, or just wasted the awesome potential they had and didn't become what I had expected.
So yeah, I guess I only voted for the ones that greatly exceeded my expectations.

Yes yes I agree, Comic Party Revolution is my underdog series of the year. I'm really glad how good it turned out to be... as opposed to To Heart 2.

I'd say I liked them in this order:
1. Air TV
2. Shuffle!
3. To Heart 2
4. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's
5. Lamune
6. Izumo: Takeki Tsurugi no Senki
7. Da Capo Second Season
8. Comic Party Revolution
9. Magical Canan
10. Raimuiro Ryukitan X
I liked Air TV a lot, but not enough for it to make my all-time favorite anime list. Shuffle! was pretty fun and enjoyable. "To Heart 2" was okay, but I was disappointed at how the drama fizzled out at the end. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's was alright, but wasn't really for me. I thought Lamune was pretty bland at the beginning. I never liked Nanami's character at all. She's one of my least favorite ren'ai game anime female leads (she's down the list from that backstabbing Ayu (Dousoukai) and that @%& Azusa from Pia Carrot 2/2 DX).
I tried to like Izumo TV, but it didn't help that I was so completely spoiled on the game's character designs and kept thinking of Tenshi no Shippo everytime I looked at the female characters. I wish they had a larger budget for the anime. Da Capo: Second Season was very frustrating for me. It made me dislike Nemu who I liked so much after completing the first season. I've never been much into the comedy of the Comic Party series. I just about never get into performing/creative arts anime.
Magical Canan I didn't get into at all (though I did like the adult anime version). Raimuiro Ryukitan X made me mourn how low ELF game adapted anime have fallen over the last few years. It's all so very sad. :(
1. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's (a fav for best anime of 2005 as well)
2. Air
3. To Heart
4. Lamune
5. Izumo
6. Shuffle
7. DCSS

Indirectly, yes. She was a character in the "Triangle Hearts 3" game.
But Nanoha's character was altered and changed into a magical girl for the Nanoha anime in the same way that Sasami (Tenchi) was turned into a magical girl for the Pretty Sammy anime series.
1.) Air TV. Superb animation, nice touchy feely atmosphere though I had no clue what was going on.
2.) Nanoha A's. Best shounen action series ever...as commented by others easily beats the Gundams and even Naruto as far as beating the shiet out of each other goes. The best part about it is the whole idea for it started as a joke.
3.) Shuffle! Lackluster ending, but still it was a nice fun ride.
D.C.S.S. started as strong as Shuffle!, but it's quite good enough, an easy 4th place if we had more votes.
The rest are watchable but not worth mentioning.
AIR TV with Shuffle! at second. Both of them did a lousy job flowing with the characters' stories imo. Shuffle gave each of them equal time so the transaction between them was pretty shaky. AIR TV gave the other stories combined as much time as the main story, which was good, but the finished characters and their aftermath completely disappeared from the scene.
Nanoha A really shouldn't count IMO since it would be as if someone put the the characters of Gundam into a school/romance/comedy anime and it still counts as a "Vote for your favorite 2006 mecha show" just because they were characters in a mecha anime.
1.) Air TV. Superb animation, nice touchy feely atmosphere though I had no clue what was going on.
So.. in short you voted it #1 because of the animation and not because of the actual substance or story? K.
Huh,I don't know that nanoha A is based on a bishoujo game.
I'm just wondering how many people are actually familiar with the original Magical Kanan game and OAV.
Huh,I don't know that nanoha A is based on a bishoujo game.Technically it's not. Nanoha A's is the sequel to Nanoha Season 1, which is a spin-off of the Triangle Heart OAV which Nanoha is in for like 5 minutes, which is then based off of the Triangle Hearts H-game.
The aforementioned h-game does have naked pictures of Nanoha, though.

1. Air
2. Canvas2
3. ToHeart2
Everything else kinda sucked, Shuffle was annoyingly overrated (Primula was cute though, but that's about it)
edit: after seeing ending DCSS sucked aswell :D
AIR. It's beautiful animation, coupled up with the awesome characterizations of its characters (Misuzu, Minagi, Kano, Haruko, Yukito, Kanna, Uraha, Ryuuya) made this 14 + 1 episode anime series one of the best bishoujo game anime series I've seen in a long time.
Comics Party Revolution, Shuffle! and Lamune...
Apparently I'm the only person in the world who actually didn't like AIR...

Nah. There's a lot of people that disliked AIR in the "Worst anime of 2005" thread. I find that thread very funny reading. :D
Shuffle! was definitively the best for 2005 though I haven't saw AIR
Shuffle!
But it wasn't amazing either. 2005 was kinda bad for this type of anime in my opinion.

You are not the only one. Thought it was boring never bother finishing it.

Lamune and AIR, and then Shuffle! I might have said Canvas2, until the ending.
AIR wasn't quite as well dramatized as it could have been, but it was still excellent, IMO. The drama and production values were far superior to Lamune, but Lamune had something special: a touch of YKK, as well as Gotou Yuuko (Nanami).
ToHeart had some enjoyable episodes, and a nice ending.
Shuffle! was blah until around halfway through, then it became interesting. Unlike some, I had no problem with the final arc. And it had Gotou Yuuko, too (Kaede).

hmmm, i'm a bit shocked that da'capo and to heart 2 didn't get many votes so far. i can understand why air and shuffle! are higher but i would have thought that these two may have had a few more.
oh well

Sorry it didn't include the bondage theme you would have liked.
AIR all the way. Shuffle 2nd I didn't care much for the rest I don't have that much space on my puter.
* AIR. Ok, it was pretty sad, but it's was still well done.
* Nanoha A's. I liked the ending :D
* To Heart 2. To Heart Fanatic :D
*Da Capo SS. I don't know what people have against Nemu. Plus, this show was as good as the first season.
I'd have voted Canan, too, but the ending had a small thing that annoyed me. But the last episodes were very good, and I was tempted.
I'd have voted Canvas 2, it was excellent until the last 10 seconds after the credits :p
