KyoAni is win.
How K-ON! and Hyouka are ahead of Haruhi is beyond me.
Quite simple really- 'cause it's better!...
While K-ON may still be debatable, Hyouka IS better than Haruhi, by virtue of the original novel predating the whole "moeshit" phenomenon, and thus actually has depth in its story.
Are you fucking retarded? I'll answer that question: yes.
Here is the release timeline of the books of both series:

Do you know when K-On was released as an anime? 2009. How about Lucky Star? 2007.
Hell, do you even realize that the original Haruhi anime wasn't even animated in a moe artstyle? That didn't start until the later animations of it.
FYI, I have read all of the Haruhi books. I believe just one arc in them contains more plot than the whole fucking series of Hyouka.
The short bus called, they want you back.
I thought Hyouka was a nice return to form for KyoAni after the Endless Eight crap and years of adapting simple 4koma gag manga*. However, I really don't think it compares to the likes of season 1 Haruhi, Full Metal, and their KEY series (especially AIR). In fact, looking at this list, I'd say it's another sad case of otaku short-term memory. -_-
*For the record, I liked Lucky Star and K-ON! (have yet to check out Nichijou). However, they're far from the best shows that KyoAni put out, and I can agree that it turned them overly moe-focused for a while (didn't help that K-ON!'s art-style had to leak into season 2 Haruhi).
I agree!
If you're a tasteless inbred exposed to nothing but the most rancid moe, sure.
If you think their anime shows are only about moe then there is something horribly wrong with your perception.
Agreed, Kyoanicrap and moe lovers are a total disgrace!
Nope. Highest quality animation. Fuck you.
And lowest quality everything else.
If you're a tasteful outbred exposed to nothing but just plot, sure.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL GET FUCKEDDDD
>all caps
>LOLOLOLOL
real mature....
Here is the rest of all 14 entries in the ranking:
11. KANON
12. Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
13. Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid
14. Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai
It's so fucking hilarious that the only Original Work that KyoAni has made is at rock bottom.
Huh? Chuunibyou is original.
And it's bloody hilarious. Painful, but hilarious.
@06:58 nah your just retarded.
Painful to see FMP that low. I still pray for more. On the whole it was definitely their most engrossing show that covered all aspects: emotional, action, world-building, fun as hell. Granted it's based off an existing story, but so are most of their others. Among their list alone though, it's the most unique because it actually had focused growth in both world and character plots.
So true, bro. FMP had everything I'm looking for in an Anime: story, humour, action, character growth.
FMP was great, but not one of their best. Probably not even in the top five...
You're passive aggressive to the people you know, aren't you?
FMP is a goddamn classic.
I will definitely admit FMP on its own wasn't particularly amazing, but without the initial FMP story, Fumoffu would not have had the leeway and preexisting world we were used to with which to let Sousuke go batshit crazy awesome and screw with it.
HYOUKA?
NO. NOT THE BEST.
KyoAni is all great stuff, but Hyouka is not even close to #1.
First belongs to Haruhi or Clannad.
Hyouka`s position is easily explained with short memory of Japanese otaku. It was still good, even in my opinion, but not No.1. Haruhi is No.1 for me.
No Kanon 2006!?
I liked Kanon too. I would place it among 5 best KyoAni productions.
What's next:
K-On!!!!!!!!!
K-On!!!!!!!!
K-On!!!!!!!
K-On!!!!!!
K-On!!!!!

I like KyoAni for the quality of their studio work, animation and jazz. It's really good. Hyouka is a great example of how pretty and high quality their shit can be.
loved them all!
In other words, poll participants have short term memories. Nothing surprising here.
THIS LIST IS ALL WRONG!!!!
1. Lucky Star
2. Haruhi
3. K-ON
4. K-On!!
5. Hyouka
6. Chuuni
7. Clannad
8. Clannad AS
9. Kanon
10. Nichijou!
THIS IS HOW IT MUST GO!!!
What the hell do they even use as criteria to rank them? Is it animation quality? Artwork? Plot? Music?
For example, personally I think that the second season of K-On was inferior to the first mostly because there was less actual music in it and more moemoe.
The second season of K-On had MORE music than the first. It was just spread out more because the season was longer.
Clannad - Clannad After Story
K-On! - K-On!!
Haruhi Suzumiya S1-S2
These things should be counted as ONE ITEM.
Kanon.......?
Hyouka ahead of Clannad?
That settle it, this list is useless.
Type B fans? Seriously how many "types" are there in this universe? And also what are the characteristic for each type?
According to San.Com. (or 2chan; I don't really care who made this up) there are 2 types of anime fans(A.K.A otaku):
Type A
A person who simply enjoys “anime.”
Is proud of Japan’s anime.
Evaluates anime based on direction, voice acting, art, etc.
Hates shallow anime with no real content.
Story emphasis >>>>> Moe anime.
and Type B
A person who simply enjoys “characters.”
Will watch an anime if it includes cute or beautiful characters.
Doesn’t care if story is awful, as long as the characters are of interest.
Evaluates anime based on which seiyuu are in it and what the characters look like.
Loves moe elements. Doesn’t like complex anime.
The otaku the media picks up on are usually this kind.
Doesn’t know that much about anime and so is often criticized by Type A otaku.
However, they make much better customers than the more discerning Type A otaku.
Of course, many anime fans have elements from both the Type A and B classification, but usually the characteristics from one type overwhelm those from the other type.
I am type AB anime otaku:
Type A
A person who simply enjoys “anime.”
Is proud of Japan’s anime.
Evaluates anime based on direction, voice acting, art, etc.
Hates shallow anime with no real content.
Can see there can be good story also in moe anime!
+Type B
A person who simply enjoys “characters.”
Will watch an anime if it includes cute or beautiful characters.
Evaluates anime based on which seiyuu are in it and what the characters look like.
Loves moe elements. Does like complex anime, if complexity is meaningful.
Knows much more about anime than any plain,narrow minded Type A otaku.
AB is very discerning type of otaku, but still good customer.
Honestly Nichijou is so brilliant that I could care less about the plots or production values of the others on the list, it deserves to be #1!!
I agree with Hyouka being on top, but I think Chuunibyou should be a lot higher.
It's still airing so it's not qualified to be on the list.
thats better! K-ON! back in a list, all is right with the world again after the other days list. :)
Never watched any of them and glad i didn't since they all suck
You DO see the complete fail in logic in that statement, right? You ARE aware you're an idiot, yes?
Hyouka & K-on for the win, Haruhi sucks
WTF Where is Full Metal Panic?
Clannad for the win.
