#1 should be Eva 2.0
WTF i see no TSUMUGI i am not amused!!!!!!=_=
Eve No Jikan & Summer Wars are horribly misplaced. Both should be at the absolute top of the list.
uhh, didn't Sawashiro Miyuki also voice Celty from Durarara!! ?
yep, Kyon and Yui OWN!!!
Alright! Two Shows that I know are Good Bakemonogatari and Eden of the East in the top spot as best anime.
also gonna be compltely frank and least try not to sound like flamebait target but show's with a good story seem to top it off in the end.
I hate this years list. Fucking Kyon ruined everything
Yay for Kyon! 0/ 0/ 0/
Kyon is a damn pussy, why do people like him so much?
just because he is not pumping iron does not make him a pussy at least he is not a ninja or a magic butler
He's like the most realistic male character put into an anime... and the fact that he's pretty much the main character of a show that's named after the character he follows around half the time.
Bakemono and eden of the east on the top spots is bullshit
What crappy anime would you rather have in their place then?
If Eva2.0 beats Haruhi then all's right with the world :)
PS: Hetalia is sooo boring. And there is one thing missing - worst OP song :)
Hmm. Eden of the East is a great show but I doubt it's number one really. Thoguh I'm not sure exactly what series that they've been choosing from. Full Metal Alchemist is always awesome but I'm kind of a big FMA freak since the first FMA season was the first anime I watched (except Pokémon and such when I was a young child). K-ON is very good, though I can't say it should be a lot higher than it is, no matter how much I like moe =P
Haven't seen Bakemonogatari yet actually, but it seems to have recieved quite a lot of praise and quite many seems to like it, so I should check it up soon I guess.
#1 Summer Wars imo, but then again I haven't had time to see Eden of East, however Summer Wars definitely has rewatch value to its quality...
Some of these amazing movies are only amazing once.
No comment on the female character list.
Kyon is right where he belongs on his list.
EDEN ftw..
good list of male char
Yui ftw but why is hinagiku at the last
I prefer Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari
Kyon the best male character, but he's totally useless...
LOL, totally agree. Takizawa Akira lower then Kyon? How the people's taste in males have degraded...
Wait till Shoshitsu is released or watch it in the theater or if you're really desperate(nothing bad about it) watch the cam rip.
Shoshitsu makes him look even more useless. Ouch!
The movie makes him look even more useless. Ouch!
Wait until he gets into his Gintoki where he owns
thank god Hinagiku isn't any higher on the list, that bitch doesn't deserve any ranked spot
the only thing they got right are 1-4 in both anime and male character lists
and seriously, no Vampire Bund? katanagatari?
Eden on top agreed
Gintoki Rocks! but overall good list
Yui ftw
but why is hinagiku last..
prefer bakemonogatari ED
no comment for top seiyuu
Izaya-kunnnnnn XD
im actually more concerned about the seiyuu placement.but sawashiro miyuki placement was well deserved.almost all top placed anime has sawashiro miyuki as seiyuu.
Where is Kara no Kyoukai ?????
It was great,better than any of those shit ...
Eden of the east and bakemonogatari is okay ,though
It started in 2007.
What fascinates me is that everyone knows, Kyon is the most realistic character EVER. He's not super smart, no powers, his thinking is human, no anime-like misunderstandings. He's just stupendously plainly perfectly NORMAL. But even with that, he time travels, fight's aliens, prevents the world from plunging into oblivion by altering reality? I wouldn't call that normal. Also, although I was NEVER a sci-fi fan? in fact, I despise movies with a lot of errors and unrealistic crap? The Haruhi movie, series and novels are just too realistic? Explaining every detail and such? ITS SO FUCKING INTERESTING.
His behavior is not normal at all. How can anyone be so indifferent to everything. Even when he makes a reaction it doesn't seem like his making a reaction. It's like look at me am trying to be cool. Pretentious bastard.
Finally i can't see any Lelouch in this rating. That makes it BETTER... WAY BETTER than other rating. FTW Darker Than Black ~ Germini of The Meteor.
Where the hell are Spice & Wolf and To-Love-Ru ?
I'm Japanese. As soon as I find this article, I think this ranking is false.
Anime Grand Prix have not announced yet.
It will be announced on May 10.
Excuse me for my poor English.
Yeah, you're right, but that list is not false either.
In fact the Animage magazine makes 2 ''Anime Grand Prix'' by year, one in the May (April) edition and other in the June (May) edition.
The May edition is maked with the opinions of the editors, professional animators and with the letters that the fans send to the Tokuma Shoten's office during the year (that is the list you can see above).
The June edition is made by internet votes on the Animage website, that get open on January 1st of 2010 and ends in 1st of May.
(that list in question is called ''Popular Anime Grand Prix'', in 2010 K-On! win the 1st and Gintama the 2nd., Eden of the East didnt even make it in the first 20's)
Best male:
Kyon and Gintoki
does this mean Tomokazu Sugita has the top 1 and 2 best male roles now or what?
Gintama is truly under-rated
A somewhat more reasonable poll I guess, but Summer Wars, FMA:B and Drrr!! should be higher than that shit K-ON!. Yui being loved in the female rankings is not surprising, people need to treat the mentally handicapped well after all.
Wow, what a fucking fail list.
Japan has shit taste as always.
What would you add to it when these were practically the only shows of 2009?
>GINTAMA BELOW RAILGUN, KNT, AND JOHNNY ANIME
Yeah, Animage is worth shit.
Kuroko should have won best female >=(
WOW no Spice and Wolf with Horo???
Kinda of surprised east of eden beat bakemonogatari for 1st but all in all it's a pretty accurate list
well, i like the list...
but how coem Durarara so low?
they deserve higher for its epicness
DRRR!! is only halfway through. Wait a bit and it will go up in the rankings (it has to!!!!)
Hei ousted Izaya in best male?
Excuse me while I put on my troll mask.
He's the Goddamned Chinese Electric Batman...
LOL! he doesn't even take a big part on DtB's 2nd season. Pure hype.
Eden of the East is so horrendously overrated. Maybe with a real ending it would be better, but as of now it's just another show that takes an interesting premise and milks it for all it's worth at the cost of plot and characters and other more worthwhile things.
It's not over, dipshit.
The first movie was amazing...can't wait for the conclusion.
Watch the movies and then see if you can write this down again.
Disregard that, I suck johnnies.
