Guys, just be thankful this list isn't dominated by fujoshi crap.
anything is fujoshi crap if you want it to be.
8====D~~~~~~~~^_^. We need more!
GGO = still Getting ready to Go Online
SAO2 at those 3 episodes boring as shit. Still got the rank of number 1. Now I see why there are so many haters for this overrated shit.
Why do people hate SAO? AoT was worse than this.
You are the worst person.
no Sailor Moon = best list ever
okay jk, the list is shit but so is the anime
The fact that Gekkan Shoujo Nozakikun, Rokujouma no Shinryakusha, Hanayamata, and Barakamon aren't in the top three makes this list more than completely invalid. Makes it actual trash. Hell, Sword Art Online's new season isn't even that good. Well, since the first half of Season 1 every part of it has been completely meh.
Roku and Hanaya are great fun and all but they should be nowhere near the top 5, top 10 sure., maybe for Hanaya but Roku is entertaining and all but it's largely trash when compared to other shows. Entertaining trash.
Gekkan Shoujo is top 5 material, that show is awesome.
Terror at the very least in the second slot is great; because love it or hate it, there's just no way SAO II is relinquishing it's throne anytime soon as much as I hate to say that.
Entertaining, oh hell yes it is. #1 spot? Hell no.
dramatical murder... lol. I feel like that anime is a giant troll.
and that's what it is.
Momokyun not #1?
This list is shit.
the only one of that list i found half way enjoyable was sabagebu . .
Why do some artist insist on drawing women with thighs thicker than their torsos?
And also its the perspective where you look from. Ass is closer to the camera compared to the head.
Because some ppl like me like big thighs.
Sword Art online 2...
Only reason it gets number 1 is because everything else this season SUCKS!
(And I'm not suggesting that SAO2 is even remotely "Great", it's just slightly better than everything else... somehow....
Half the shows this season are better than SAO...what kind of crack you smoking.
No free and love stage yay.
I watch all first 7 anime from the list lol
SOA2 is horrible
Aldnoah should be higher than Ghoul, just swap those.
Gekkan Shoujo should be higher... if not top 5 somewhere... seriously.
SAO II ain't losing it's crown... let's not kid ourselves here. It's decent at best and unworthy of its no.1 spot but there it will stay for the next year or so even after its airs its last episode.
Other than that, list seems legit.
Tried to watch Zankyu no terror and was disappointed in the first 30 seconds. Shooting a nuclear with a gun core would not cause it to detonate like a bomb. At most the shielding fails, the dumbass gets flushed with a couple of million rads and the facility crew wait for a robot to pick up and clean the remaining material.
THIS LIST IS..... not so bad as usual.
im suprised seirei tsukai not even on the list
oh... THAT random harem anime.
Animators create the ideal world, while society decays... fix society and we won't need anime...
Wow talk about premature evaluation. None of these are more than 4 episodes out. Why not just put out a 'best of 2014' and rank fall and winter series without having seen them?
Wheres Sailor Moon Crystal?
Maybe since it's an online show it won't count?
Can't be a top hit when you have to wait fucking two weeks between episodes.
Rail Wars = #5? List auto fails
YOUR BRAIN IS FAIL.
List already failed long ago when sword ass online is #1.
why you every SAO haters always overract like you are the most righteous ppl on the planet. LOLOLOLOL, the rest of the world beg for a differ.
Here's a better question; what has SOA2 done to deserve being #1? If you look at the series airing on a comparative 2-3 episode basis, SOA2 has done little of interest to make it a #1 spot contender...
It's because the fans like the series itself. Most probably the season 2 itself doesn't have anything to do with the popularity.
Nah, the list failed, because it was posted here.
You just need to understand that lists has been taken by a minority of all anime viewers, and that minority probably enjoys bland, poorly designed anime.
Dat bulge
1. Barakamon
:/
Aldnoah Zero should be number one, not Shit Art Online.
Give it the three episode treatment, espevially those of you who've been complaining about beta MC's.
Aldnoah Zero is starting to get a bit Guilty Crown-ish. Hopefully it won't turn that way, especially after that last scene on episode 3
God I hope not, Guilty Crown was a mish mash of ideas that never panned out to anything with substance.
Great OP/ED's, Great character animations/drawings, decent soundtrack, shitty insert themes (especially the last episodes theme during that stupid ass dance,) ajnd overall a plot that couldn't tell heads,tails or ass-backwards what it wanted to do with it's plot.
Beautiful animations for such a below par show.
It's like buying a Faberge egg and expecting it to do shit when all you can use it for is a nice decoration in your living room.
I'm not overly impressed by SAO2 as it stands, it just feels like the first with a new paintjob, i'll keep watching it for now but unless it picks up its going on the drop list
It will pick up over the next few episodes when it switches to Kirito's adventures in GGO, and then slows down back to the current pace with Sinon's emo-ing halfway through the BOB tournament. After which it will pick up again towards the climax.
i really like the new SAO up until this point. the animation seems a bit more high quality and the story is also good (so far).
go fuck yourself as rest of the world is liking it
>Kirito a beta
You are only jelous of his digi-wood
Now you know that ppl who use "Torne and Nasne platforms," whatever these are are, prefer hype over substance.
Had Aldnoah Zero been #1 on that list, it'll mean you have something in common with these ppl.
Why complain? Just enjoy this pretty good season.
i totally agree with you aldnoah zero should be first.
