Yet everything popular seems to be these days.

Was it ever otherwise? Must be enough people enjoy popular things to make them so popular, but I'd wager every last one of us enjoys things others think are absolute crap. I'd be surprised if anyone enjoys more than 10% of all media produced.

Personally, I'm relaxed about enjoying things I know are crap, since artistic value =/= entertainment value.

Back on topic, I can’t vote since I’m only familiar with like one thing in each category, if that.
 
For me it made have a crisis of believe in anime. But yeah I realized it doesn’t matter how popular it is. If I like it I like it. Like Shield Hero now it’s got past ep 2 so I like it for not being as crap as that episode constantly.

Back when I had enough time to be giving every anime in each season a try I was enjoying about half of them. I honestly think that's about normal (except if you dislike the medium in general) - Sturgeon's "law" is a load of nonsense (and was never intended to be true by even its inventor - his point wasn't "90% of everything is crap" but "the same proportion of everything is crap, wherever you draw the line between crap and not crap").

Oops... forgot the voting deadline in the end. Oh well, would only have voted for best light novel (No Game No Life had the best new volume out last year of the dozen or so that I've read, so I would have voted for that) and the three "x of the decade" things (Madoka Magica, Non Non Biyori and Book Girl for anime, manga and LN respectively).
