Here it is again,.. without the pain to go through the mess that is photobucket.
nice
too bad the skirt changes its colours in the 2nd picture :(
-shrugs- i am just the man who put the pics together
Setokai Yakundomo FTW!!!
I came here expecting Working!!
I was not disappoint
same here (with Lucky Star, hidamari sketch, azumanga daoih, and GA)
I came here expecting GA Art and Sketchbook manga to rank way higher. Somewhat disappointed..
i demmand a working!! second season!!!
You're in luck, it's airing in October...
Amen to that.
Came here not expecting working. However, pleased anyway. such a great anime.
Oh don't worry about K-ON!, when the third season in the manga finishes and becomes an anime you'll see it come back in full force. ( Not that I'd complain seeing as how I love K-ON! ) ( Mugi is awesome btw )
and the new MugiXMio character
Yep. Sumire, Mugi's maid, cranking moe up to eleven.
Nichijou's a 4koma? Odd.
I mean with A-channel's anime I could see where every joke starts and where it's punchline arrives. But Nichijou felt considerably less predictable and contained.
only the hakase/nano scenes are yonkoma
I think they did a miraculous job of connecting multiple 4komas in Nichijou or just expanding one skit so much it becomes a whole segment of the episode.
Kyoto Animation did a great job with that manga IMO.
ok..SYD and a channel got in..im satisfied..
I guess Working! is POPLAR now!
u can said it more like 'popura'...
And Where's B-Gata H-Key? SEXILY GODLY 4KOMA!
yay SYD!!!
Azumanga deserves a higher spot than K-ON! hands down.
Azumanga and Nichijou below A-Channel and K-On.
lol okay
Azumanga should be above A channel, sorry but anime sort of sucked with its character songs in every ep.
Nichijou isn't 4-koma, and if it were it'd be in first 3....... I guess i can agree about the rest though
good good.. I see azumanga and nichijou.. I'm fine
been some time since a view a satisfying list
I like Doujin Work best.
Really? Working? Err...I don't know about this list.
A huge surprise that Hidamari Sketch was even mentioned let alone being 3rd.
I have no idea what's being said, but that last panel in the title picture of Erio in the futon is ridiculously adorable.
The reason k-on isn't getting to the top anymore is because its summer and all the summer fags are doing the polls
Daaaaamn. Look at that booty.
I'd hit it from the back yo.
thats a let down
Azumanga Daioh should be at the top, followed by Working.
This is the first time I've come to this site and seen a list in which I am familiar with all series on the list. I guess this is my interest area.
Finally a ranking where I agree on the #1!
I came here to expect Lucky Star.
So when is season 2 comming?
Azumanga Daioh, one of the most under rated school based slice of life Animes in my opinion. I wish it was out on bluray!
I want to see Sadomi made into an anime. It's a epic 4-koma manga.
Wo..wow.., is it a curse or a blessing that Geijutsuka always came up right on #10 despite being under-appreciated..?
Hurray for SYD~ <3
I count being in the top 10 to be a blessing, no matter if it's on the bottom half of it. at least GA didn't get an "Honorable Mention".
Doujin Work? Anyone else? All right then.
These people are forgetting about his other work, 'Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to'
but thats not fully 4koma isn't it like normal then 4koma style?
The thing I didn't like about some of these anime is that you could literally see the transition between the sets of 4-koma strung together. They didn't flow.
Well, that didn't happen to Working, A-Channel and K-on as far as I've observed. GA, Lucky Star and SYD do have them but they didn't bother me at all either.
(..cept for that extra scene in Lucky Star after the heartwarming "Kanata returns" part. It just spoiled the atmosphere of me shedding some manly tears.)
Working definitely deserves to be tops, it's consistent quality with every issue. Seitokai Yakuindomo and Lucky Star are also quite good.
