Because of our guild's varied tastes, we ended up with many series that were only nominated once or twice. Even with the rank each guild member gave their nominated titles, it was impossible to break all the ties. So, we have listed the top 10 favorites, in order, as there were some clear winners. Following the ranked top 10, we have listed the remaining 99 nominated series in alphabetical order by the name of the series.
