Dengeki readers were surveyed as to which anime they thought the best of summer 2009, yielding results which in retrospect are not entirely surprising.
However, when their most anticipated summer anime are compared to the most well received after the fact, the results are quite interesting…
Firstly, these are the most anticipated series prior to the start of the summer season:
1. Spice and Wolf II
2. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
3. Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
4. Bakemonogatari
5. Canaan
6. Taisho Yakyuu Musume
7. GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class
8. Kanamemo
9. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
10. Umimonogatari
And these are the most highly rated after the finish of the season:
1. Bakemonogatari
2. Saki
3. Fullmetal Alchemist
4. Canaan
5. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
6. Valkyria Chronicles
8. Dragonball KAI
9. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
10. Requiem for the Phantom
Dengeki readers will not be winning any awards for punditry it seems; 5 of the anime remained in the list, but all the top spots were upsets and a number of the most anticipated sunk without trace…

Get over Drag-on Ball already. Seriously.
Valkyria Chronicles 6th? Really? Well, I guess if you didn't play the game...
Nice to see Umineko at 5th. Hardly a perfect adaptation (when are VN adaptations ever perfect?), but it's certainly entertaining enough. They've been doing well with the latest VN episode so far.
Haven't seen the anime, but the Saki manga's fun and the characters are likable. Not surprised to see it in 2nd.
A bit surprised that Zan SZS isn't in there, but I haven't really been feeling it this season. SHAFT wasn't doing anything clever with it like in other seasons, just slavishly following the manga to the letter. Guess they were putting all their efforts into Bakemonogatari. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
wow fma being ranked that high and doing so badly is disappointing.
Dragonball KAI!!!! Those guys are on drugs!!
At least the newly and more improved FMA beat it down.
Canaan was awesome
lol valkyria chronicles, even this uber shit shit is better than my horo? moonpeople sure don't know about good animu
yea i'd sooner read a gaunt's ghost novel than watch another episode of VC...
agree, I lol Valkyria. Watch it and disappoint.
the game is a lot better
All hell yea, Bakemonogatari..
Now, can anyone tell me if Saki is any entertaining as Bamboo Blade is..?
WOOT for Umineko ^_^~
+1
Also damn Saki for taking #2 spot when FMA should be up there.
DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you miscounted. I only see four from each list being the same, not five.
I laugh at how Haruhi isn't even considered in the pre-season rankings.
OMG!!!! NINTENDO 64!!!!!!
125 comments and not a single person has asked where #7 on the second Dengeki list is? Wow, how observant we are.
I find this post highly ironic.
Saki sucked
Number 7 was so good that it was put on it's own separate list.
indeed LOL
I guess I should go see the first Spice and Wolf... looks like FMA blew shit out of the water. Besides that only saw FMA. DBZ Kai shouldn't even count, ugh. the rest of these... *adds to list*
Wow Cannan beat out Phantom?
Twice?
Insane.
Unforgivable.
I have to agreed with you.....
Phantom was pretty good , and i also like to see Umineko in there . BUT!!! CAL!!!!!! WHYYYYYYYY T-T DAMN YOU REIJI!!!! ( Off course I'm talking about phantom) :3
Please notice that the first list is for summer anime only, and the second list include anime from spring and summer. Basically the second list is about the best summer anime as in anime that are airing throughout the summer.
No Hetalia? Blasphemy!
SEACATS WAS HERE, YA'LL ARE SMALL TIME
cats will dance
That has to be the most eye drawing picture of senjougahara, i need to wallpaper it. @_@
fap fap fappppp....can't concentrate on the news..... fap fap fappppppppp!
Why no Kanamemo in the second list? Shame on them! Kanamemo is GREAT!!
Why isn't there a #7 on the second list?
oh dam, good eye. i just skimmed the list. lols
lmao Saki just came out of no where.
The penguins and tacos were subliminal illusions.
They never actually appeared on the screen. Those are artificial memories that downloaded into your brain as you watched Saki episodes.
Messages encoded in the "no pantsu" areas of the female cast's skirts lulled unsuspecting viewers into a trance during which time they moved as puppets ordering DVD's of Saki over the internet, writing about it on blogs, and attracting more viewers to spread the infection.
Gonzo hAxx0r3d your code in a desperate attempt to keep their studio in the green.
And yes, it is all a conspiracy.
Im amazed Valkyria chronicles made it so far...
exceeded my expectations in every way
Saki is full of win characters
what happened to number 7?
7 stayed the same, if you look on dengeki...
Okay, that explains why it only LOOKS like only four made it, and not five. I thought it'd been miscounted.
Saki scores higher then Umineko no Naku Koro ni and Canaan?
Japan... i am dissapoint...
fuck story its all about the 2D pussy
If that was 100% true then Queen's Blade would be up there instead of another anime.
queens blade has quantity but not quality
>implying Umineko or Canaan had good stories
he just need to prove that magic din't kill those people.
maybe umineko gets better later on, i'll stick with it, but the way he tries to prove magic isn't real... to a witch... i just can't follow through with that, it doesn't make any sense to me
existence of witch in the magical realm doesn't mean the existence of magic in the real world.
know your facts before making stupid remarks.
if he believed he would die
UMINEKO VISUAL NOVEL WAS HERE, BITCHES DON'T KNOW HOW FUCKING AWESOME I AM AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE MISSING OUT ON.
Bitches don't know how to draw either. I mean, goddamn.
Canaan: SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI
Umineko: WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH BEATRICE
IT DIDNT?!?!
Huh - the only one I gave even two shits about was Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I can see I have my fingers far from the pulse of the community.
+5
you biased fuck, you dont have the power to give +5!!!!
Well it's just that the joke it's starting to get old.
i watched them all and honestly cant choose a favorite, if i had to choose i'd probably just say Horo.
Perfect breast!!!
+32
Saki & Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was the only two from the list I even bothered with . . .
then you have missed a lot
'Magnitude 8.0' almost lost me near the end with setups of a wandering plot hole that I just couldn't get over with in the middle.
But all my rantings about those "holes" where gleefully proven wrong and the ending was truly amazing. That short tv show actually had the Balls to upset the applecart and I loved it all for it!
+1000 to that ending awesomeness
FUCK YEAH!!! FMA , CANAAN AND BAKEMONOGATARI!!!...
Dragonball kai??? what??? get over it retards!!!!
>FUCK YEAH!!! FMA
>Dragonball kai??? what??? get over it retards!!!!
Oh lord, the irony
No Shangri-la :( stupid bastards
That show was a tree huggers delight and fortunately, those 'tards are the greatests of minority in Japan. Sadly, many in the upper echelons of Gonzo are dedicated splinter huggin' morons. Another good reason for it sagging profits...
Also, why the Fuck would a Man change his figure into a sultry wench but still keep his Voice unchanged? A true gender confused retard was that character. The only thing it had was a great character designer and some nice animation that didn't have the story strong enough to carry them.
Hey where is the number 7 on the second list???? O.o?
Yeah but the simple awesomeness of Horo was denied...
A single wolfgirl is not enough to keep an anime entertaining. Not even Horo.
you have to be executed for speaking "painful truth" out loud.
Now off with his head!

dragon ball fuck
uh we're different people
you have to be executed for TRIPLE FUCKING POSTING.
Now off with YOUR head!
Enjoy your epic pwnge.

Shame on you!
Wow Anon 08:22 his the painful truth...no matter how much i like Horo, the second season wasn't a bad watch, but not close to be as cute and entertaining as the first.
I always seem to watch the worst of the season before I realize that everyone else is watching the good stuff.
moar tails!!
they should have swapped 1 with 3
wheres haruhi
lulz
+1
Hehe, not surprising. Dengeki is for those that like their anime with a little bit of fanservice.
they think they like their fanservice, but they don't stick through it. why would they stop liking taisho yakyuu or GA??
hell yeah ! =D thats what we like xD
Does Umineko include fanservice?
fo real
Mostly in the begining, but then it gets serious
"Shit gets real" real quick there.
Very suprising. At the start of the season I don't think anyone would have expected Bakemonogatari to be first in sales, first on 2ch and first in nearly all polls in Japan.
I guess Senjougahara tore came into fashion after all.
Then you obviously didn't see the comments ranting about it before the first episode even finished airing...
Indeed. I think because it was a perfect bland of weirdness, humour, and SHAFT rolled into an awesome series
SENJOGAHARA!!!!*fap3*
LOL K-On got kicked out from the highly-rated list.
Hey your post was pretty good, and I'm going to let you finish, BUT K-ON! WAS IN SPRING....OF ALL TIME.
^^
HAHAHA LOL!!!
+100000000000000000000000000
Possibly the best Gay Fish meme comment ever...
Lol, not surprised of bakemonogatari, but i thought that Spice and Wolf was going to be in a better place in that ranking. Oh well, i havent seen it though :P
Phantom made it to the list. That's good. But in place of Saki it should be Spice and Wolf II. Saki is not much of a good anime.
Saki has moe in spades. It is the epitome of moe anime because mahjong is not going to keep anything afloat on its own.
Akagai anyone?
I didn't realize Akagi wasn't about mahjong. I guess I should watch Saki then to see some real mahjong playing.
Akagi is about mahjong???
Comparing Saki and Akagi, I believe Saki is more of a Mahjong anime than Akagi.
Akagi is about the mahjong, yakuza and manipulating the hell out of your opponents.
Akagi is NOT about moe.
But Akagi is still damn moe.
