Excellent, I can use the last Steins;Gate screenshot I took from my recent watchthrough

(as soon as I saw it I felt it would make good reaction material, lol)

Congrats to Stan and duck and all the S;G regulars - for a show with only two dedicated traders (and 3 with the very-late Suprak addition) to make the finals is certainly a feat. Though I know it had more than one round with overflow support from other safe series, particularly on Day 58. That broad support certainly came through in the finals, well-earned victory.

Also, Stan: you avoided the potential "lost twice in the finals" pain which some of us know all too well in other contests... very nice! S;G can join the ranks of "past champs hanging around the midpoint mark or exiting the contest due to falling outside top 20/not being renominated" now, though you could always join the back-breaking-placement-effort ranks of Haruhi and Baccano alongside Inviso and lefty, respectively.

This also concludes my S;G arc that started in the Series 8 results topic

Took me 22 months, uh... doesn't matter, still on schedule!!

And from the SMFAS 10 nominations topic:

A month and a half... really pushed my luck there but glad I could get through it all in time. And "what little I knew" turned out to be even less, I honestly was expecting some action/adventure/mystery series and I don't know why. Turns out to be very funny and super emotional. Definitely a great journey!

Steins;Gate is out of my anime queue - and now on the "recommend this to people who haven't watched it" queue, naturally - but now Mushishi and Fate/Zero added into the queue following this contest, not to mention Steins;Gate 0. The queue never stops growing...

voltch: thx again for running, though I'm with duck on this one, the nominations topic did say it'd still be top 20 next year even if it dropped to 50 so think it'd be fair to keep it top 20 for one last time (unless you were referring to only the top 15 from SMFAS 11 qualifying for SMFAS 12 in which case, sounds good!)
