The latest ranking for the most interesting anime of Spring 2009, brings with it some upsets, though obviously the number one title is a given…
The results come by way of Dengeki Online, web portal of the massive ASCII Media Works publishing company, including the likes of Dengeki Daioh, Dengeki Moeoh and Dengeki Bunko among its otaku-oriented magazine lineup, where it held a poll for the “Most Interesting” anime of the recently concluded 2009 Spring season.
The results are none too surprising, with the #1 spot easily being taken by what was unquestionably the choice series of the season by otaku:
- The results are from an online poll at Dengeki Online taken from June 19 to July 1 that asked which newly aired 2009 Spring Anime was most おもしろかった, which translates to “most interesting /amusing”.
-
#1 K-ON! #2 Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden) #3 Saki #4 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST #5 Sengoku Basara #6 Dragonball Kai #7 Valkyria Chronicles #8 Basquash! #9 Asura Crying #10 Cross Game
K-ON! taking the throne should not be a surprise to anyone, given the KyoAni show’s great popularity and with the quality of the later episodes still fresh in people’s minds.
Saki or the Fullmetal Alchemist remake might have seemed a more likely candidate for the next two spots, making Eden of the East’s position the closest thing to a surprise on the rankings. Certainly, Eden’s higher than average production quality, among other things, must have aided.
Fullmetal Alchemist’s spot may be lower than expected by some, but given that the show is currently covering subject matter that was handled by the original series’s 30 initial episodes in around half that amount, fans are likely awaiting divergence of the new series from the old.
In any case, rankings for this year’s Spring season will probably come out to be harder fought than this Summer season, given the relative slow pace of the new season, yielding only the new Haruhi season, Spice and Wolf II and Zan Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei as obvious candidates for popular late-night anime.

K-on and Saki is totally a win for me although Saki should be higher than K-on :3 Well Saki is not an anime for those who doesn't play or know mahjong but for me its a great thing (Its moe compared to Akagi):3
For this summer season I'm looking forward to Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou. Very funny and a little ecchi from what I've seen in the episode 00.
That and the seiyuus are my favorite, Ai Nonaka and Haruka Tomatsu!
Eew Saki Got 3rd!? And Asura Crying Got 9th!? Thats CRAZY. Saki's Not Bad But Really Just Not That Appealing...
No Tears to Tiara...
go play the original pc eroge, fuck the remake and fuck the anime. nothing beats the original
Screw you mr/iss. anon flippant boytoy-girl! That anime is the first one to employ a little taste of '300' during one of the battle sequences. The third episode if you all are slightly interested.
The sword battle animation is bar none the best I've seen since the movie 'The Stranger'. It rarely has the typical still shots of characters screaming, striking whatever way, with action lines flying behind them and then cutting to the two fighter slamming into each other. 'Guin Saga' is a recent show to prove that, but I like that one too for other reasons. The animators actually gave a fuck and showed two individual dual without that crap!
Perhaps the stories a bit feather weight, but for this. I don't give a fuck. Ever since watching 'The Stranger', I thirsted for more fluid sword fights and 'Tears to Tiara' fills that bill.
Anyways, the situation involving that duke being condemned to possible death by the governing body of old farts is fascinating and the battles to come will be epic for it!
No One Piece?!? Wow I'm shocked!
*sarcasm*
But... k-on is moeshit
Moe shit > shonen shit > pretentious shit
You have it backwards there bro
you do, pal.
I don't think so, pal.
K-On was only a popular moe shit no more no less only that.
SEACATS IS COMING
Where is Natsu no Arashi?
They tried some 'Zetsubo~' infusing that felt shallow and I did like the actual manga, so that show is a loss.
A lot of manga to anime fall into junk like this. 'Resurrection Princess' is a prime example of great read to absolute pile of Dung.
Hajime no ippo.
Fuck yeah, thank you good sir.
cant wait till the next season.
fuck the rest of these shitty animes
HNI is so underrated its not funny.
Actually it isn't underrated, it's pretty popular in Japan only.
Takamura vs Brian hawk hell yeah
Eden of the East deserves some recognition, it’s really outstanding and Akira constantly flashing his ass is a plus.
FMA will rise higher now that the Xingese people are about to be introduced. Ling is what everyone has been waiting for.
so true
Can we say jaded? These are television shows, not lovers. You can't get mad when the getting isn't so good.
I just started watching K-On (as in I just watched the first episode) and it was funny, so I intend to watch the rest. I will not fill my diaper (after first actually getting a diaper so as not to be silly) with obviousfagtrollpoo if it's not that good. Seriously people. Seriousleh.
Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty good so far, even though it's been a retread. The new material should start showing up soon. Over all anything Fullmetal is awesome (unless it's on something called a "Pee-Ess-Too").
Dragon Ball Kai? If I were interested in Dragon Ball, I might actually care to watch it. But I don't, so meh. Besides, it got butchered. At least no more filler crap.
I haven't watched any of the other shows so I'm can't say anything about them. I eat trolls for breakfast.
I almost forgot. The first two episodes of new Haruhi weren't that bad.
REPEATING IS BAD
>.<
Nobody mention Guin saga oh well
Valkyria Chronicles : ISARAAAaaaa
No Phantom of Requiem?? Its definitely underrated. I demand a recount. Its No.1 to me along with Valkyrie as No.2
k-on was "interesting"??? i dont know if i would say that....
I really want to fuck these girls
Phantom and Hajime no Ippo should have been there and high. And Valkyria Chronicles is definitely better than Saki.
Seeing how the FMA manga series is coming to an end, I am guessing that the animation company won't be diverging too far from the original story. In fact I'm a bit jaded by the beginning, but I will have no doubt greater interest on how they handle much of what is happening now.
The new haruhi show has completely filled me with disgust now. FOUR episodes and possibly more surrounding an interesting idea that could of been done in TWO was enough to disgust a fan subtitler to drop it! You understand? A fan dropped this series for something else and that shows me that I'm not the only one who is sick of that shit.
kyo-twits dropped it Hard on this sequel after the wonderful show K-ON.
HARD.
heh.... XD I knew it that K-On is a winner by default this season...
I didn't expect Asura Crying on there lol
Maybe it was because of the beginning of episode 12?

Epicness
Is she getting attacked by a robot dildo!?
Actually, I'm not surprised Eden of the East scored this high, it's story, characters, background, voice acting, they all seem to press the right buttons.
The first "season" of FMA Brotherhood is basically what most have seen, so perhaps that contributed to it being knocked out of the top three. Now that FMA:B is completely following the manga, it'll hopefully pick up in rankings from now on.
agree!
i can't wait for the movie adaptation!
er i mean sequel
no,, your fist comment was almost right
Eden of the East will only have movie sequel at year end this year and another movie sequel nex year
and i'm also looking forward to it ^^
If only Pandora Hearts animation wasn't produced by that tight budget Xebec.. :(
PH should be up there :( my favorite for spring
Also boo to Xebec for rarely doing second seasons.
wow wtf how come kon is "interesting"?its a show that you watch for its moemoekyun which is totally overrated. just an ok anime, entertaining but not great such as others of its genre(haruhi, lucky star). 2ch faggots should burn in hell with their fanboyness.
I'd switch K-ON and Higashi no Eden around.
everyone would, sir.
They KILL someone near the end. You see him draw his LAST BREATH.
Suddenly at the last episode.. you all can breath a sigh of relief. HE's Not DEAD!!!
that show shouldn't even be on the list for having that lame ass "surprise".
Another Japanese company trying for a 'Dallas' moment... The dude wasn't even important!
so do i
No Tears to Tiara but Asura Cryin'? What the hell...
Indeed! those Japanese otakus are all sick stupid for ignoring that great show. The girl index must be the cause and they all feel de-manned by the cool of the Dark Lord!
Yeay for K-on! And I need to watch Saki...
And for the new season, SZS and Umineko all the way! :)
+1
And Aoi Hana... how can I forget the yuri... bad me! bad me!
Who wouldn't miss scissoring girls eh? Legs wrapped around each in passions unknown (they hope) to all.
emo eyes btw boy and girl is thick as always, so a little of the G on G is infused to slightly balance it all out... bleh.
Pass on this one.
Saw an G on G OVA series and got sick of the tons of yacking and kwacking by all them girls and it all ended with soft porn. Nothing more and I pass on that junk too.
