If you haven't learned by now to take these lists with a grain of salt...
Yeah, most of these will also top the "Lowest sales top 10" type of list later on..
BRS at 24...... -.-
It's definitely not the top best, but it shouldn't be so low either...
"fangirls"? That's weird, the yaoi fangirls I know don't know of this show, while us guys are recommending it to other guys who haven't watched it yet.
That isn't yaoi show btw.
Its just high school hilarious comedy show.
Yes, I agreed ^o^
I wished people would see that a majority of my comments are purely trolling!
srry about the double post..

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou,,no 1 WTF! just gay
Just to let you know, this is utter bullshit.
Nichibros sold like shit in japan, Nisemonogatari DVD/BD's aren't out yet and i'm pretty sure it'll get in the top 10 selling animes in the history of otaku media.
Just to let you know, Nisemonogatari is complete and utter bullshit.
Not talking about how much it sold but rather the quality of the anime. Nicibros was quite funny and enjoyable, where as Nisemono had nothing except sexual innuendos. Even NisiOisN himself said that it was his worst novel.
If i wanted to watch something with the same quality as Nisemono, i would watch a porno.
You really don't how to be a good businessman..do you?
PROFIT@!??
Highschool DxD deserves to be in top #1!
maybe under top 5 most sexiest anime girls of 2012 but top 1 of best anime of winter 2012? nooooo wayyyy
Black Rock Shooter 24 and not at least ion the top 5. DAMNIT JAPAN!!!!! SHIT TASTE! SHIT TASTE EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Problem with Black Rock Shooter...Too short.
Exactly my friend. Hopefully, there is going to be a second season and this time, it better not be for eight episodes again.
I don't really know what you mean. I enjoyed the series after all, but I didn't feel like it had to be longer in the end.
Personally it was one of my favorites of the season.....at the very least it should've beaten that mehhh' adaption of Papa kiki >_>
At least with BRS TV you can already feel that it would be short (around 12 episodes) but then for some reason it was further reduced to 8.. Quite surprising if you ask me.
It's the same way with that "no-body gives a fuck" Last Exile Fam SomeWing. Towards the last episodes, everything started to happen a too quickly. I guess that's the problem when Gonzo tried to bring back some of the older Last Exile characters.
Going back to BRS, I honestly think they've shut the door of the story in the ending. Another season of BRS just wouldn't make sense anymore, unless they introduce new characters all together OR adapt the game instead.
8 episodes = one for each color of the rainbow + black
I also think that the story wasn't really solid. Like the basketball captain girl. She didn't really do anything significant that moved the plot along.
Needs moar yuri, no exceptions.

Fool, there is no girl on the internet.
just curious, are you girl?
Problem with Black Rock Shooter... Too bad.
fixed
7th Guilty crown, a serie sucked from beginning to end.
Japan has no taste
But at least is a better taste than the american.
...good one...
Japan doesn't like Hisoka's glowing penis?
I like the original anime better..much darker
P.S. I am jUST waiting for the anime to reach chimera ant.
This list is not Maru at all.
At least be grateful that Lagrange made it to the Top 10. Wan!
Symphogear (a surprising 6th rank IMO), Lagrange, Kill Me Baby, Milky Holmes II, Mouretsu Pirates, Smile PreCure, and Black Rock Shooter. I pretty much happy with this ranking...
....but where the heck is Zero no Tsukaima F?!
Hell yeah, danshi koukousei should be no.1. Looking forward for season 2 already.
I'm not gonna get into the whole "This anime shouldn't be here" nonsense, I'm just gonna be happy that Smile Precure got acknowledged.
Guilty Crown? really?..:|
in new post,BRS it's the most worst anime,but in here BRS in top anime,wTF who create this post
BRS should be higher up the list. It was short but powerful!
2. Nisemonogatari
4. Another
7. Guilty Crown
9. Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne
11. Mirai Nikki
18. Persona 4
24. Black Rock Shooter TV Animation
25. Hunter x Hunter
even I don't really watch em all I still can understand these but the rest is just trolling I hope
You are the one who are just trolling.
The heck is this? Why are the FALL/Autumn Animes on a Winter list? Mirai Nikki, GC, Persona 4, and probably some others shouldn't even be on this list. They do realize that in Japan they actually split anime into 4 seasons right? We have Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. They are not the same season
Plus this list sucks really Symphogear ranked 6?? How the heck is RNL ranked lower than it lol? This list is a total fail.
>sees Chihayafuru in top 3
I SHALL IGNORE THE PLACING OF ALL OTHER ANIME AND LEAVE.
Guilty crown being no.7 ...
List is shit. Shoudnt even be up there.
Bodacious space pirates... Well, thepacing is a bit slow... But then again people whovoted on this have the attention span of a goldfizh so... Of COURSE it got a lowspot.
If you want great pacing, story, character development and plot, excluding Chihayafuru (which should have been no.1) look no further that Moretsu Space Pirates.
Black rock shooter made it to 24
I am surprised
what a shitload of shit
Why is Hunter x Hunter so low on the list? :(
Because this version are very bad.
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou was really good.
I didn't expect much but it was a real gem.
Nisemonogatari is quite overrated. Story was on the level of a Hentai. It was all fanservice and incest.
Hunter x Hunter being last place is bullshit. Especially when shit like Guilty Crown got 7th place...
This list would be more valid if they changed the title from "Top 25 Anime" to "Top 25 Watchable Anime".
Symphogear 6th... What the bloody hell... Did these people see the crappy animation in that thing? The ridiculously retarded storyline? The cliche characters? The most BS happy ending seen in anime in ages? The hell?
... And Mouretsu Pirates 14th? FML.
From now on I'll just pretend that these lists are made by obnoxious trolls. It will make my life a lot more pleasant.
Hotblooded ending, you argument is invalid!!
