Mushishi is on top spot. All is right in the world.
I was half expecting it to be an ecchi or moe show, I'm so fucking pleasantly surprised right now!
Mushishi is incredibly good seinen stuff.
Really relaxed and interesting show.
I'm glad it got the top spot.
there's hope for anime just yet
Musashi and Jojo top 2 spots.
Japan has finally gotten some fucking taste.
Fuck yes, Tier 0 reigns supreme over all bitches!
yes
Who wants originality anyway? Just give me all those dozens of sequels I've been waiting for.
^^ This.
My collection is full of good shows that only got one or two seasons, were left open, and now we're sitting 5-10 years after they aired without continuation or even a proper ending. How hard is it to bang together 12 episodes or a couple of OVA's and just finish these damn shows off?
It's That hard. Just reverse it, if it;s that easy to churn out sequels why haven't we see them by now.
because of factors
1. Was the previous season a profit
2. Do they have enough budget for a new season/OVA
3. Do they enough source material to work with
4. Do they have problems with cast and staff
5. Will the new season/OVA be a profit
No Game, No Life needs to be higher.
Came here to say that.
I call BS on this. Love Live's first episode was absolute garbage and one of, if not the worst, first episode of an anime I've ever seen.
Yes, it was so bad that Love Live-related media hold most of the top 30 anime rankings on Amazon Japan.
I'm missing nanana at ~12. other than that: good job
Kodomo No Jikan Season 3 would top this list if Japan would stop playing it safe and give us an ending. Including the Kokonoe banged ending.
You got Paradise of Innocence OAD to look forward to. Don't forget to bring a box of tissues.
You should stop posting those biased lists
Akuma no Riddle is my favorite so far.
The lack of DaL and Jojo makes this list shit.
What do you mean? Jojo is in 2nd.... or is being 2nd the problem?
OP less fabulous than bloody stream
OP's controlled by Dio
Date Alive S2, Akuma no Riddle, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Black Bullet, Brynhildr in the Darkness, No Game No Life, Soul Eater Not!, Seikoku no Dragona and Hitsugi no Chaikaare the ones I'm following this season. Been a while since I had a list this full of stuff that caught my interest. Almost as big as my 2010 list.
Still iffy on Kenzen Robo Daimidaler, Selector infected WIXOSS and Captain Earth though gonna give them a couple more episodes.
WIXOSS needs to get higher ...
Stupid card battle lame premise 'duel' anime needs to be burned with fire.
I love Honokami.
12. Selector Infected WIXOSS
Needs to be WAY higher up this list.
15. Mekaku City Actors
Doesn't deserve to be anywhere NEAR this list.
Selector Infected WIXOSS is fine where it is
WIXOSS is Madoka and Yu-Gi-Oh!'s love child.
more like retarded bastard child
Mekaku City Actors reminds me of Bakemonogatari, it'll be my show to watch this season, not to sure about the others, most seem either too moe or too perverted.
For once I agree with the top 2, but if they DIDN'T make those spots then there would honestly be something wrong with humanity, given how shitty the rest of the anime airing this season are. I mean, Mangaka-san and Daimidaler are among the worst anime I've seen in years. They're almost as bad as Pupa turned out to be.
Love Live is so good. That second episode was great fun.
Praise our Honokami for this second season.
Daimidaler is awfully good!
Sorry, offtopic:
Why are there so many "westaboos" on this site nowadays? Aren't they supposed to have their own bunch of sites?
at least westaboos are actually from the west. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that whatsoever. the problem with weaboos is that they are emasculated ceta males from the west who think they can thrive in japan and get a hot girl from there. where the reality is, that hot girls all over the world are not interested in weak sauce ceta/beta males. hot japanese girls won't sleep with weaboos. they'll only sleep with handsome succesful guys. ceta/beta weaboo males will go to japan to find that they chased an impossible dream and ended up with a fugly jap jap girl they had to settle for, instead of a fugly western girl that they would have had to settle for. A worthless excercise. tried to become another "race" and STILL ended up falling in a barrel of tits and coming up sucking their thumb. Weaboos should kill themselves for that very reason. they are of no use to anyone.
"ceta"? wtf "Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement" has to do with it? xD
"alpha" and "beta" are not from "a" and "b" but from greek alphabet and after beta next greek letter is gamma
ITT: where 02:10 makes a fool of himself by using words he doesn't even know the meaning of.
A lot of girls will sleep with anyone, if you all would stop talking about them like some unreachable object, maybe you'd figure that out. Get outside and talk to them.
Where the hell is Captain Earth? Captain Earth deserves to be at least #3
Captain Gundam?
"Is the order a rabbit?" should be #1.
I disagree with this list Gokukoku no Brynhildr sould ave made the list
Methinks you need to get your eyes checked.
and your writing sense, it's written by the guy who did Hamatora so it's fucking terrible
Hark!
Thy command of the English language is even more atrocious than that of an unborn child!
On my part, i think it should have made it higher at least.
Mushishi and JoJo at the top. Where they belong.
Both with full second seasons.
I would have prefer if jojo were the 1st, but still being the 2nd is good enough.
