2ch has discovered a ranking of the anime most well regarded by the hairy barbarians who dwell in foreign lands.
The exchange:
“The best anime tournament as selected by GAIJIN:”
“Looking at the top left I laughed.”
“Wait, Boku no Pico actually got quite far!?”
“Madoka lost to Eva!”
“What the hell is this tournament?”
“Looking at the whole thing it is full of quality anime. I’d have liked to have seen more recent ones though. Where’s it from?”
“I got it off 4chan.”
“4chan… looking at the results it seems some negative voting has been going on.”
“Naruto died early on.”
“This looks about right. That lot really likes Bebop.”
“Baccano is doing well…”
“I’m happy about that.”
“For K-ON! and Railgun to lose in the first round – foreigners have no sense at all.”
“Madoka was never going to beat Eva but Madoka has done so well to get this far with only a single season.”
“Bible Black…”
“Foreigners like Baccano… maybe because it is set in a foreign country?”
“Madocchi had nasty opponents, going up against AB and then Eva…”
Few could question the overwhelming worthiness of Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion, but with Boku no Pico beating Toradora and Baccano crushing Bible Black and Ghost in the Shell there is much to ponder about the results… and about 2ch’s belief that the results neatly represent the tastes of all “foreigners.”

Boku no Pico...
I just wiki'd that.
"pornographic shotacon anime OVAs"
._.
That beat Toradora!!?
Dude, never watch an Anime called Boku... yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
How the hell did that thing beat the palm tiger?! Someone got some lulz.
It didn't. It lost 1-64.
And that 1 was from the guy who watched it.
The problem with this list is the problem with all bracketing. You pair up animes between which it is difficult to choose and you lose a big player (Naruto, K-ON, Toradora, Bebop, Champloo, etc) early on.
note it's a 4chan thingy. Cult for YOOOOOOOOOO~~~~ lulz?
They should have put vote amount on.
No - 1 and 64 were the series id numbers in the listing. No idea why they bothered including them on the chart, but it just means they were the first and last items in the list, so they got paired against each other for the voting.
Anyone can beat the palm tiger. You just pick it up and throw it against the wall until the flat-chested abomination against nature stops moving. Then replace it with a real woman for the win.
Maybe for -you-... In fact, you enjoy your trap, I'll be over here, enjoying the woman.* XD
*That actually more or less enjoys the anime I've introduced her to. =D
>>Then replace it with a real woman for the win.
Correction: Replace it with a trap for the win.
It is better than toradora. Less cliched too.
I watch clannad only when i cant sleep
for me it does
yup Boku no pico is AWesome
So 4chan likes Boku no Pico because its a great anime?
Really sad to hear that. Toradora is a masterpiece, Boku no Pico a joke, and i'm being polite.
Be serious.
everybody needs to watch the anime boku no pico
is probably me but toradora is garbage, i dont even find it cute... while at least the other one is has no plot but a traps
So you guys dont watch boku for the plot?
>He's never heard of Boku no Pico
wait wut.... clannad got beat first round by toradora, then got beat by boku no pico...
and some of the highly rated anime was pitted against each other as first rounds.... this is dumb
The way they rated it is silly, if that is indeed how they did it. But in the end likely Eva would have still won. It is a good anime and has lots of discussion about it which is what really makes an anime become "worthy." It's not it's wow factor but how long does it keep people talking about it... or recommending it to others...
However you look at it though; the list represents 4-chan.. which, well, as many people know is not necessarily the most reputable location on the internet... especially seeing how far a certain yaoi shota anime made it... unless there really are that many people out there that like that... /shivers
correct,just because some anime you like doesn't mean everybody else like them also.
Just think like this. Its 1(you) vs 9001.
Its over 9000!
Still trying to figure out how Toradora beat Clannad, myself.
Also, how the fuck does Diebuster make the bracket, but Gunbuster - which was FAR better - doesn't?
Boku no Pico Should of beaten every single 1 of them
4ch as the source invalidates the list, the vote, the result, and this story..
Moving on..
Looks like a fun tourny but invalid as how did they come up with the top 64 and the seeding. Bebop seeded 61st? and Dragon Crisis was on the list at all? A bit random..
Dragon Crisis ain't that bad, i have seen worst.
Amen.
Amen? I thought they have better taste than the ordinary Japanese rankings.
they do
So 2ch and 4ch are trolling each other with the list? Boku no Pico is such a nice troll.
Well Eureka 7 is my all time favourite but.. since i tought it was a underdog to begin with it suprises me to see it beats naruto and were saddend but not suprised it was beaten by one piece.
Yea Eureka 7 is my all time fav too and One Piece is my 2nd so was sad to see E7 lose in the second round but even worse since One Piece went down right after it
nice boku you got there
bb is deep yo
Nice Bible Black Got In there too lol
It's the good kind of troll since Boku no Pico (along with it's 2 sequels) always leaves me spent and contented...
Now I can't wait for that new Poju shota hentai video to come out...
Looks like Not all Foreigner are Narutard beaten in the first round by Eureka 7?
I can see Eureka 7 beating naruto easily.
WTF? Dragonball Z defeated by Azumanga Daioh? Looks like foreigner do love High school girls!
Where's Black Lagoon, Canaan and Coyote Ragtime show? I think they will appreciate those anime if they like to watch Cowboy Bepop.
Narutards are slowly disappearing, don't you think? Local conventions used to be filled with people with metal plates on they're forehead, now, they're into a bit more variety of mainstream anime.
Its obviously not the top list we have going in the SanCom Forums,... So they didn't lurk in our forum because the listing hasn't been concluded yet.
Although the majority of users of the Sankaku Complex Forums ARE gaijin.
And we're not as hairy as other hairy smelly foreigners with questionable tastes.
^_^
@Altair,nice anime but some people only watch new animes or ecchi ones
> actually think Boku no Pico is a troll
Actually I like this list much more than if it was the Japanese version. If the was the Jap the anime selection would be buried in shitty moe anime with Kon and Haruhi on top. I'm glad this list brings back some classics and other genres other than the generic moe shit these Japs watch nowadays.
I don't even understand why that's all they watch. Is it because they are all perverts that live off fan service and little school girls? Or is because they spent their entire life being a pussy so now they want to watch an anime to pretend to be the main character getting all the girls in the class?
If it was a Jap poll, all the titles listed would be made in the last 3-5years. Any old work would not make the list cause Japan's anime industry is driven by bandwagon jumpers.
Haruhi is not moe shit, don't compare it to K-ON!
so fuck your shit anon 04:44.
Also, get off your high horse.
u mad
The mad is strong in this one
Same fags?
haha ur mad
:P.... Japan has good taste! Slam Dunk is one of their all time favorite mangas!
BEST ANIME EVER TOO!
No, but apparently you are.
awww ur mad bro...
this guy is mad
No. Look at your post, sound like a child's crying :)
I hear ya!
I still don't get how the fuck Madoka got past Angel Beats...
Darker than black...
VEN ESCUCHA HERMANO LA CANCION DE LA ALEGRIA, thats why evangelion won, and thats enough for me
I still don't know how you can say that Madoka was bad, because I personally find it to be a masterpiece. I like Angel beats as much as the next guy but I don't know why anyone could think that it was bad.
madoka is shit
Well, because AngelBeats is a disgrace to the entire Key franchises and a piece of shit!
cause Angel Beats is shit, jun had drinking problems when writing it and is now on leave to sort himself out.
Sad that LotGH died so early :<
why did that overrated, mediocre Evangelion win :|
Better than those countless japanese blogs
this list is pretty much a fraud, but what amazes me is that i have 2 admit the 2 winners would have to be winners despite everything. after watching the last Evangelion movie i have to admit i am an Eva fan all over again.
What the hell is that tournament voting anyway? Why can't we have a common Top 10(0) voting?
Sancom posting the results invaldiates this list
Moving on
Truer words have never been spoken. If people actually go to /a/ for honest opinions on anime that is popular in America, then I feel sorry for them.
Everybody has the right to their opinions.
It's just that 4chan happens to have toxic opinions too much.
And I can't understand Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion being so high other than boys just being into the viscera of the action and the high production values. Not to say they're bad shows, but some of those shows' worship is out of control.
Then again, so is 2ch's version of extreme hype.
I don't know about Cowboy Bebop, but Evas symbolism and dabbling in psychology is what makes it appealing to a wider audience outside the "visceral action" niche.
Or people who just want to say how much they care about symbolism and psychology...
