Welp...that list was terrible.
LOLOL steins;gate is 21, from that i realized its terrible.
Have to agree, steins;gate could easily land no.1
Picard: WTF is this shit?
y did i even bother to click the link = =
We all know how reliable it is, to make an anime ranking by vote
Fujoshi wins everytime...
How the hell did No.6 get number 1
Person that made the survey was a woman?
if i didnt read your comment i would have gone and try and watch it... glad i didnt
in this case... 1 facepalm is not enuf..
soooo
::Double Facepalm::
Unlimited Facepalm Works
Freddie Mercury Ultra-High-Angle Reversed Facepalm!!
still nog enough
Commom, until amost the end the anime wasn't bad, and then everything turned out to be magic and that was really horrible. The ending is just awful, and it has BL/Shonen- ai tones.
No.6? Is that good?
the.
f*ck.
is.
this?
If you dont mind one guyxguy kiss then it's pretty nice show.
Totally a women!! (Or Gay Male) made this up - Notice how there's NO Mention of: "Gosick", "Mayo Chiki", "Kore Zombie Desuka?", "Hiden No Aria" or "Dream Killer Merry"?? Practically No Moe or Harems? "Gosick" was far better received than half this crap.
Notice how so many "sensitive male" shows are prominently displayed. Utter garbage - Japan is way more perverted that this list implies.
I used to know good anime but then I took an arrow in the knee.
Hidan no Aria, good? What the fuck are you on mate? Gosick I believe deserves a notice, but eh... It really got boring towards the end (besides, the manga executed the story better imo).
I still can't figure out what I watched this year, that was made this year that was totally worth a head's up...
GUILTY CROWN in #27th is what shocked me the most.
Hidan no Aria anime is horrendous. Go read the novel
Before watching No. 6 please read "A Brave New World". The ranking is unlikely made by an otaku. But more by a general audience with higher learning.
Considering that is has only partially aired at this point, I think that's okay.
I think you just have shit taste. All of those were horrible.
When it starts out so absurd with most of the top 10, you know it's just "another one of those types of lists" that you should just roll your eyes at and ignore.
Most of the top 10 is actually really good anime.
obviously by 1 vote... ppl don't read anymore
Just what we need to end the year: another lame and stupid list. Obviously, this one is made by some rabid fujoshis.
Madoka Magica deserves to be #1!
Madoka was decent in that it did something different, and had an awesome soundtrack, but I couldn't see why girls dying and crying made it anime of the year. Way overrated.
fuck that... Madoka deserves NOT to be number 1. A magical girl series, done in a dark, twisted, and fantastic way, I agree. But was it the golden child of the century, FUCK NO. Even Blazblue Continuum Shift did a better job explaining time paradox. Let alone, Steins;Gate was present this year to be probably one of the better time paradox anime of all time (I still didn't like that one. Or I guess I should be saying, after watching that, I can't take Setsuna (Gundam 00) serious anymore)
So yea, continue on with the Madoka hypedom. Although I love the VAs in that show, and I like the concept of that show, it does not deserve the tremendous hype everyone has been giving it.
madoka was decent, has its talking points but only because there wasn't much competition this yr, thats y ppl thought it was an 'awesome' anime.
i have to agree, overrated.
also agree madoka is sooo much overrated
Oh shut up you dumb faggots, stop pretending that your opinions matter.
Madoka deserved most of the praise that it got.
I totally agree with madoka being overrated too.
Overrated? Perhaps, I don't have access to know what that standard is enough to make the call.
Great series? Yes, definitely deserving of most of the praise it received. Also, there was no plot breaking time paradox in the anime.
madoka is fine right there in no.4
it shows it was one of the greatest anime in this year, just not THE greatest no.1
Tiger & Bunny deserves it more.
Overrate? As if your standard is everyone standard. <_<
Madoka is highly overrated.
Clearly not as overrated as a garbage anime for faggots called No.6. ;)
I actually did read the article but I was obviously referring to the fact that No.6 is a shit show and has no business being number 1. Learn to read between the lines
gay people and fat girls need anime too no.6 FTW
Fujoshi STRONG
Usagi Drop at #18? *losing faith in humanity*
i just want to throw up watching no 6 imo
Should it have been #6?
How? I have the answer: Lots of gays voted
Where the fu*k is Gosick on this list???
On the 2010 list?
Heartcatch Pretty Cure also started in 2010, and yet it made the list...
No.6 is a sort of Shounen Ai story. So mostly every fujoshi should have voted for No.6. For the same reason is "Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi" in the Top 20.
There are maybe fewer fujoshis then there are otakus. But the few fujoshis vote for even fewer series which gives them more votes per serial. For the same reason the sells of fujoshi anime ain't that bad.
Plus: beeing a fujoshi isn't seen as creepy as beeing an otaku therefore the fujoshi-number grows faster. At last it is like this in europ.
Then again, Anime is death so who cares anyway? Moeblob, Fujoshi or Mainstream. One of those is to blame.
Fujoshi truely creepy then otaku. At least otaku go for boy-girl relation. But fujoshi go for boy-boy relation.
No.6 is miles away from Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi.
If it was really fujoshi made then Sekai is higher. Imo it seems like guys actualy No6 like too.
Fujoshi isn't seen as creepy as otaku?
LMFAO WOW. that's the stupidest things i have ever heard, Otaku = Anime nerd, Fujoshi = rotten girl, compare the nicknames?
Also, Otaku go for normal shit, Fujoshi go for gay shit, how can you say Fujoshi can be seen as creepy as Otaku? OTAKU ISN'T EVEN CREEPY WHEN COMPARED TO FUJOSHI, GET OVER IT.
You underestimate the power of fujoshi, you underestimate them greatly...
definitely fujoshi power.
no.6 and T&B with only 1 vote differences. both gives fujoshi a lot inspiration for their pixiv works :p
No. 6 was amazing. Unlike most anime he drama was realistic and brutal. Besides with Bones quality animation and a well written story you cant get much better.
And I garrentee that anyone who calls it a romance anime didnt watch the ending
The last episode was probably the weakest thing about NO.6. It was super rushed. The show had a pretty interesting premise, but got stale as it progressed. I wouldnt say its bad, but it's nothing special. Not a show that I would try recommending to somebody . Definitely not deserving of the top spot to say the least.
No.6 was rock solid to start with then just stopped making sense towards the end with the goddess bullshit and kinda fell flat on its face at the end.
Well I liked No.6 a lot. But I read the novel too so the ending was really disappointing for me.
But I'm happy they didn't eliminate the shounen ai, like the creators of the Togainu no Chi anime did. Seriously the game was full of rape and horrible shit, with a plot that made sense. And then the anime makers really fucked the plot up good. It was like Umineko all over again.
...wait what?
the drama was brutal? didn't watch the ending?
No, whatever. Truth be told, it only started picking up speed around the 7th episode, I barely suffered through the first five. I wouldn't say it was a bad anime, but amazing? Maybe amazing finale, but only this. Also, she could have ressed the girl too, gay couples are boring, threesomes ftw.
Haters of tiger & bunny elected No6 to tell the fans that they are a bunch of homosexuals.
Is Tiger & Bunny really good anime? I haven't watch it..
Yes. Highly recommended.
- Intresting outlook of heroes (commercial heroes)
- Good CG animations
- Awesome MC. Kaburagi Kotetsu (Tiger) is a true hero (in many kinds of senses)
More like Mystery men to me...
I liked the plot.
Tiger n Bunny is like ... a japanese version of x-men. It is awesome!
