Dengeki once again compiles a ranking of the best anime of the fall 2009 season, along with a comparison of how highly anticipated these titles were.
How the season’s most anticpated anime were looking forward to prior to their actual airing:
1. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
2. Darker Than Black II
3. Inuyasha Finale
4. Fairytale
5. Seitokai no Ichizon
6. Tegamibachi
7. 11eyes
8. Nyankoi!
9. Seiken no Blacksmith
10. Kobato
The most well received anime of fall 2009 actually ranked thusly:
1. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
2. Nyankoi!
3. Darker Than Black II
4. Sora no Otoshimono
5. Full Metal Alchemist
6. Kimi ni Todoke
7. Dragonball KAI
8. Seitokai no Ichizon
9. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
10. Tentai Senshi Sun Red
Once again it seems fan expectations are an appalling indication of just which titles turn out to be any good, with but 4 titles remaining in the ranking, an even worse performance than with the summer anime.
At least this time the number one title was maintained, although with it being Biribiri it would be rather embarrassing had they been incorrect.

Dragonball die?
Fuck you
No, fuck you!
Fuck me? Fuck YOU! Everyone has!!
Trapeze... ;_;
Nooo....Seitokai no Ichizon dropped to #8!!
Railgun FTW!
Double FWD!
Fall 2009 sure was boring...
It's fairy tail, not fairytale.
Railgun no1 good to see. Nice to see FMA up there too.
Kind of sad to see the huge fetish for biribir in the massively overrated To Aru Kagaku no Railgun continues. Darker than black II might have been disappointing compared to the original series, but it was still way better than To Aru Kagaku no "plot" Railgun.
I agree, Railgun is WAY too overrated
more like HIGHWAY too overrated.
more like... wait what?
Well at least Index light novels are awesome with Accelerator and Touma.
You guys are just skin deep otakus that like to fantasize about the cahracters.... bet you guys haven't read a real light novel yet, or even just a normal novel or book. Anime isn't just about character, it's about the story too, the world where the character lives, the people that surrounds them, their struggle and con flicts, their victories and tribulations. based on real life, these are the stories that came from what man may call the last frontier: the human imagination.....
I didn't watch To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. It wasn't relevant to my interests.
Nyankoi! on the other hand, was.
Haha I really hated Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, terrible storyline and simply retarded
Right on man, I finished it but wished I left after ep6 or so.
Wheres White Album, I loved that anime. Maybe it was just the 80's scenario that screamed stylish.
there is something wrong with this picture O.O
bri-bri chan is not wearing her childish style swimsuit Dx
I am more surprised they made Seiken no Blacksmith anime. It should not have been on any of the list.
[insert random anime] FTW!
I've watched both Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun.
But somehow I think Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is waaay better.
HELL YEAH SEITOKAI!
FUCK YEAH!
YEAH YEAH YEAH!
THEY SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE!
Actually Wheres Kamfer!?
FM f***ing A
Fullmetal alchemist ftw
woo go nyankoi!
And there goes Biribiri shocking the competition and cutting the ranking with her railgun to claim victory!
Man.... Tsundere is just so simply superb! Especially when the story takes place in a very intriguing area and the plot is so exciting....
Which plot? Only the episodes 10, 11 & 12 have plot.
Fairy tail FTW
Railgun! Nice.
Only my railgun!
No Bantorra = TERRIBLE TASTE.
To Aru Kagaku No Railgun did it again <3
I think the swimsuit episode made it popular
xD
The fact that Yawn Koi is even on the final list shows just how stupid we really are, let alone that it somehow made #2. There were actually quite a few honestly good anime in 2009 but aside from Sunred's miraculous appearance this reads like a laundry list of mediocrity.
No kidding, where's Birdy? That was one hell of a great second season. Or what about Bakemonogatari, didn't it even break sales records or something?
FALL! 2009 you Morons
It was uneccessary to capitalise "morons". It should be:
"Fall 2009, you morons!"
or alternatively for a slightly different emphasis:
"Fall 2009! You morons"
But seriously, don't accuse others of being stupid in English when you're bad at English, otherwise your intention will backfire and you'll appear stupid yourself. Just some friendly advice.
Wasn't me who down voted you btw
When did I accuse them of that ?
I just saying they can't read the word fall
I didn't expect Railgun to surpass DTB. Or is it just me?
And fuck yes, Sunred.
MOEBLOB >>>>> PLOT
Sadly.
I love Railgun so im satisfied and the new ep comes out tommorow woo. Biri Biri FTW.
lol Uiharu has been deflowered again..
I think the idea of the pic is that Biribiri zapped Kuruko who was trying to molest her as usual, and everyone else was affected.
all Hail Kuroko lol
9. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
I guess most people were wrong in that it was doing horribly. Wonder what it's sales figures are, if it's in 9th place.
anime is for neeeeeeeeeeerds
-1
Do you think that nerds are even interested in anime? If u don't want to be fragged by my railgun, u should keep quiet u faggot.
You fail at trolling.
where is Trapeze? :/ awesome anime :D
Now, that picture is hilarious!
Darker Than Black - Agree
To Aru Kagaku no BiriBiri - Definitely Agree
Sora no Otoshimono - Hell yeah!
Railgun? ... lulz. Ah well, whatever. At least the rest of the list doesn't look too horrible.
I'm just glad Kimi ni Todoke made the list.
Kobato, too.
Wow, this person is getting downvoted just for stating the anime he or she likes? Amazing.
LMAO, Biribiri probably doesn't even realize what she just did.
She must be kept away from the sea at all cost as not only is she fatal to other swimmers, she poses a serious threat to all marine wildlife within the vicinity. (Well, maybe besides electric eels)
That said, she would be useful when it comes to fishing, just toss her off the fishing boat and tonnes of fresh sashimi will come floating to the surface.
Good Luck getting those out with live wire in the water....
I dont think Index was anywhere near as popular as Railgun. While Biribiri is my favourite character, I wish there was some screentime for the index characters, especially Kaori.
Wouldnt anticipated anime #4 be Fairy Tail?
I think so.
Except if there is a Fairytale anime.
Shoujou anime?
While we're nitpicking, Full Metal Alchemist should be Fullmetal Alchemist.
Surprised to see it in the list considering it was doing quite bad.
Oh well, well deserved imo.. unlike Seitokai no Ichizon, because that was just boring. Even Kampfer was more fun to watch -.-
Above anon would be me..
It's alright it has it's moments
and obviously the majority did if it's on the list
My faves of last season were 1,2 and 4
I disagree completely; i found seitokai no ichizon to be extremely good. Oddly, i guess the majority didnt.
Holy fuck how could nyankoi rank higher than Kobato?
Clamp Fag Alert!
i wanna be shocked by railgun↲↲↲
izu taisa
Biri biri > Index
well almost every heroine out there is ">" than index...
you're making biribiri look bad
She is just a generic character and most of the watchers just want to see her doing whatever the studio want and they call it "character development".
Mikoto failed me this season.
Umineko actually ranked? That's pretty sad. The anime was bland at the best of times, and an utter abomination to the sound novel at the worst of times.
Not everyone watching it played the sound novel (I'd argue it's likely most folks watching it were newbs or only seen the anime of Higurashi), and to them it was their first exposure to Ryuukishi07's brilliance with this title, which still shines through in spite of its numerous shortcomings. I've noticed the series ranked really well mostly with people who hadn't played it nor were influenced by the complaining fans or spoilers from the original. It just shows that lots of fans complaining doesn't necessarily reflect number of actual viewers (cough Geass cough). Besides, despite what you say, at the best of times, it had some of the most awesome voice acting ever.
It's not even that bad
Most people got into R07th due to the anime, those who played it whined about how things were cut. It's the same for Fate and for Tsukihime, and Tsukihime got the worst since people seem to deny it even exist.
In other words, everything is fine when you don't know there's something wrong or missing.
Yeah baby railgun!! that anime for some reason changes my mood and makes me feel alot better lol
As expected. Sora no otoshimono <3
Seitokai no ichizon = way underrated.
Not really. For a show that tries too hard to be funny, I'd say it got its deserved recognition.
That was to the Seitokan underrated comment. I hate it when comments don't reply properly.
I actually dropped that series because I found it boring. The first episode was pretty good because I found the references entertaining, but it kind of went downhill from there.
I'm guessing you're type is A?
and don't like pointless gossips and likes actions
Way, way underrated.
I'd place it as the best of Fall.
The way everything came together in the end was great. I'd be very disappointed if it isn't continued. It said it wouldn't be, but you can't really believe that.
I thought it was way more enjoyable then nyan koy even.
Nyankoi was really good till ep. 6. After that, it turned to your usual moeblob harem thing.
I mean it. What the fuck was that twin-magical-tsundere(which also comes with the twintails of course)-goth-loli-miko-girl-charging-power-with-Pocky anyways... Not every good make a whole now, does it?
Also, Sora no Otoshimono was the greatest suprise of the season; really enjoyed it. It was well.. made with love.
Well in Nyankoi the breasts usually stayed in the enjoyable scale, in Sora no Otoshimono only the fans of gigantic breasts could enjoy fully, though there was an obligatory DFC.
5:31 anon is right sora no otoshimono is way too retarded for tastes because the story seemed kinda rushed and the main character constantly appears in his 'small version' and that kinda pisses me off ._.
You have poor taste.
Railgun is not only 13 eps long. Most likely 24-26
I couldn't even read Sora no Otoshimono because it was too stupid for me, and I have a pretty high stupid threshold.
In their defense, the Fall 2009 season seemed to have a lot of shows that you would not have expected much from before watching.
Sora no Otoshimono being a prime example. Don't know why Umineko did not make the first list, I thought it was fairly anticipated for?
Poor anons don't know what sora no otoshimono is about. It's about Boobies!!!
Totally agree with Sylar :D
The difference was that NyanKoi was comedy with girls. Not fanservice with comedy.
NyanKoi certainly was a lot better than anybody thought by seeing the trailer. Nothing special but very enjoyable, funny and relaxing.
wasn't railgun just 10 episodes of fillers and 3 episodes of plot?
Don't even get around t tell me they were "character developement"
wasn't railgun just 10 episodes of fillers and 3 episodes of plot?
Don't even get around t tell me they were "character developement"
but rather than starting off strong and declining in quality, it started off shitty and got much better near the end, so people including me have a good impression of it
I mostly agree with this other than railgun at number 1, sod knows why so many bash the new FMA, people need to realise the original was mostly fillers.
It was more enjoyable
If those dengeki people just read a chapter of sora no otoshimono manga, it would've probably gotten a spot on the earlier list.
btw, funny how a list on something called "dengeki" would place To Aru Kagaku no Railgun on 1st...
