Top 10 Anime, According to Anime Rags

A ranking of anime by their level of magazine exposure for the month of October yields some interesting, if at times puzzling, results…
1. Macross F
2. Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
3. Hetalia
4. Kobato
5. Gundam 00
6. K-ON!
7. Code Geass R2
8. Darker Than Black
9. Fairytail
10. Sora no Otoshimono
The upcoming Macross movie explains it seizing the top spot.
Magazine exposure seems not to have a terribly strong correlation with actual popularity (the unkind or realistic might say it has a better correlation with advertising expenditure), though perhaps that is hardly surprising…

Please learn how to read.
I guess people really forgot about the fact that this is based on "magazine exposure"
i have to agree +- with this list (except for fairyfail...i refuse to accept it as one of the bests), but really...the upcoming Macross movie don't explains it seizing the top spot...fsn, knk, rebuild of eva, hellsing ultimate, gundam 00 and Canaan will have movies too and they didn't reach the top.
thats cause those movies are not coming out the month after the magazine
Gundam 00? i think GUNDAM SEED is still the best gundam i watch in the series best in story and character development although zero got the best detailed mobile suit animation
Dear god, i hope you're trolling.
08th MS team > Wing > 00 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Seed.
Many of the older series are really good, but i'm to lazy to list them.
you must be joking gundam 00 has better story and characters compared to SEED which had a cast of the most stereotypical characters GUNDAM series ever had
Fairytale and Sora no Otoshimono? This chart is FAIL.
I think you might have missed something from the post...
I see 90% of the retards who comment here fail basic comprehension.
because of?
Your opinion doesn't matter here.
Because most of the people commenting think this is a survey based purely on peoples favourite anime and not how much magazine exposure it has.
People need to read the article properly before commenting.
Chill out dude!
It's not like you are on a mission to make everyone understand the secrets of universe.
:D
Ignorant anon is ignorant
Is macross frontier any good? I got kind of bored after the second episode.
you have to like good music and real women , but mostly huge tolerance to moe-blobs, to enjoy the show
the most stupid survey ever
K-ON in a Top10 list
you better be joking sir
Wtf that is lopnippled.
Wew...DTB in 8
where is Dragon Ball Z ?
not ther cuz it sucks lol
Rather as per expectations.... for most parts..
Fairytail? Really?
I fail to understand these lists cause there are some good ones but some of these I seen and dumped at the first episode... Maybe its tastes.
nyan nyan nyan nyan
u kill my fap -9999
Code Geass and Fairy Tail love man.<3
K-ON! & Code Geass should be in no. 1 or 2 !!!
Surprised no one knows the Japanese name for Full Metal Alchemist. The Second one on the list.
Sad list is sad. This generation of anime/manga are disappointing to say the least. I quit.
Ghost in the Shell SAC the best of the best
Good job Hetalia & K-on! my 2 fav animes :D
Good job, you have a shitty taste.
Sir, take your stubborn judgement elsewhere.
Son, I am disappoint.
Quite surprising how few people managed to comprehend the post - I think this tells us something about the success of a "top 10" list, in that people leap to the list for instant gratification and ignore all else.
Of course, Sherly's gonna be numba one....
code geass r2 7???? must be the second!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and K-on the first!!! all hail britannia!!!!
Nice... I stopped watching the new FMA (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) for now because it seemed a bit more cartoony and loose with ignoring the law of conservation of mass&energy, but the original was a masterpiece, so I'm glad to see it doing well.
I've been thinking of checking out Hetalia. I've heard it's yaoi or at least BL? Not that that'll rule it out, but I'd hope that's just the way the dynamics work and not the main focus?
Holy crap! There's a Fairy Tail anime! That manga was great... I hope it transitioned better than One Piece (also, anyone know why it looks so much like One Piece? I haven't dug into it, but they are different artists, right? The writing is obviously way different. *cough*somuchbetter*
Oi no Bakemonogatari
The hell why Fairy Tail and Sora no Otoshimono in that positions... THE HELL WHY KOBATO AT THERE!?
Hey Kobato is awesome!
I'm surprised DtB's on there
Wow not that many people know what the Japanese name to Full Metal Alchemist is.
indeed, I was like "wtf?" until I read the kanji.
feel so weird to see that name instead of your usual FMA.
Unless you don't watch the anime, it is indeed pretty sad to not be able to recognize something said over and over throughout it.
Am I the only one who understands that this list is about how often an anime was mentioned in certain magazines. It has nothing to do with popularity directly it think.
Unfortunately not everyone bothers to read the entire article.
Yes.
