But i thought we had to get through the entire list before we can add new things? I mean if the Chronicles cast read A&T great; but i also want them to watch Rebellion.
The re-votes after a majority have been done, and time has passed, has a few goals.
First, it allows for multiple choices by people to be covered. After a work has been done, until the next vote is taken, their vote is useless. A new poll allows for them to vote for a second choice they had, potentially putting it at the top of the list when it may not have been. Some of the recent reactions may never have been picked and reacted to if we hadn't had a new poll 4 months ago. In fact,
none of the last set of reactions were on the previous poll before that. Heck, sometimes our tastes or just what we want reacted to change.
For myself, the #1 short-form request for me is Madoka Rebellion. Last poll, it was Mad Max: Fury Road, but the reason for that was because they'd just finished the rollercoaster that is MFE, and I wanted to give them a reprieve of fun and craziness before smashing them down again.
After MEGAS would be the perfect time, though
If we were still using that poll from a year ago, then after MFE, we would've had(in order) FLCL, Madoka Rebellion, Walking in the Shadow of Dreams, Nobody Dies, Eureka 7, Thousand Shinji, I Knew Him When, Aoi, The Division Bell, and Argento Soma. (Gasaraki was also on the list, but it got ZERO votes in that poll.)
Second, it can serve as a reminder for what's on the poll.
Third, it allows new users to join in.
