Too many fujoshi voters.
A thing that I realized when I look at it is that the 2nd list (made with the votes of the readers of Animage) is much more focused on the yaoi fandom (and occasionally moe otaku) than the first list (made by the editor’s).
The first one have some actually good and awarded animes, like Tatami Galaxy and Colorful, both of the most awarded animes last year.

Every year, anime rag Animage (together with Newtype and Animedia, the biggest publication about japanese animation in Japan) make the ''Anime Grand Prix'', an award that elect's since 1979 the best's animes of the japanese fiscal year (beggining of Fall season – end of Winter season) according to the opinion of your editors, reader's and professionals of the industry.
In 2011 it was celebrated the 33th edition of the event.Must be remembered that exists 2 version of this annual ranking of ''best'' animes made by the Animage magazine, one of them is the one you can see below, and the other it's launched on the July Issue and take as parameter only the votes of the reader by the Animage website. Many times the results of the 1st place in both lists are the same, but sometimes they enter in conflict (for example, last year Eden of the East won the 1st place on that version of the ranking, but in the ranking made by votes was the anime K-ON! who got the 1st place).

I'm a little relieved by that, but I hope it doesn't get to that figure.
@Math Rumors and wrong/inaccurate info is the worse thing to spread right now bro…
I don’t know now if it was a official info or just a rumor created on Twitter (that by the way, its congestionated by now). But honestly, on the way the things are going I don’t doubt it that MAYBE the number of deaths can reach this high.
I really hope not, I pray that this doesn’t happen and the number of death stay as minimal as possible.

Not always. NoitaminA animes for example are much more focused on TV ratings than disc sales, the producer already said that and you post it here too. If they sell something, great, but that its not the main target. Disc sales are models of niche marketed animes ”only” (in parentheses because as you said, 80% [...]

Usually animes that the ”Type A” of fans likes are not focused so much on DVD and BD sales, these usually are the source of income only for those niche marketed shows (moe and yaoi for example). Instead of that they are more focused in the mainstream, that don’t buy much anime on DVD (except [...]

Wait, that’s kinda wrong Artefact, it must be only otaku moe-oriented shows so, according to the DVDs (not BDs) ranking of Oricon and MAL this lists miss titles like Durarara!!, Hetalia and Hakuoki, all of them selled more than titles like Hidamari Sketch for example. But this shows are focused more on the yaoi fandom, [...]

That its NOT the 2010 Ranking of anime and characters of Newtype, that is just the usual monthly Newtype ranking of best animes and characters.
The last edition of the year has always a diferent portrait of image, but it is the same thing in essence. -

As long as it's about music and the band i'm cool with it.
But it's probably about pointless moe stuff and drinking tea, so no thanks.
Budokan my ass.You’re watching the wrong anime then… K-On! was never about [b]REAL[/b] music and band’s, in fact, it was all about girl’s doing nothing stuff all the time.

There is also the monthly character ranking of Animedia Magazine, in contrast with Newtype rankings the Animedia character rankings do not separate the characters in ''Female'' and ''Male'' categories.
In the case of Animedia it seems that the audience of the magazine it's more sympathetic with the moe-blob side than Newtype, proof of that its the presence of the 4 K-On! girls at the Top 5.
