No SAO in the Top 10??? No SAO in the rankings???
It must be a true miracle!!!
All hail Kiseijuu XD in the Top 3!!!
Technically, the second season aired at the start of the summer season, so it wouldn't exactly be considered a fall anime.
I though the SAO fans wouldn't care about the fact that it started in summer
These are popularity contests you know. Not a measure of how objectively good an anime is.
Just goes to show how popular it is to bash popular anime.
There's no such thing as "objectively good" when you're talking about art. Objective is for appliances or vehicles.
SAO is anime of Summer.
Tokyou Ghoul wasn't in the Fall season?
No. If it was, it would definitely make the list.
Twintails so low, what happened?
It's not a great anime. You think that people would really be into that? It's just a silly comedy about twintail fetishism.
How the hell does anime trending have hundreds of thousands of likes? I guess facebook ads, maybe, or tumblr popularity.
NNT above Bahamut by a significant margin.
I am vindicated by this list.
I didn't see Seven Deadly Sins, but Bahamut is excellent. Even if you hated it (why?), the animation was incredible.
This was me, I'm not even going to deny it.
You can complain and whine about the placings all you want. My question is "how the fuck did terra formars get on there?".
Trinity Seven at seventh. Someone planned this.
Trinity Seven in 7th place. Fitting.
It confuses me, for one its not selling that great on Blu Ray/DVD. Judging from the reported first week sales for the first volume.
understandable when they leave it censored.
Its still censored? lmfao. That's stupid. Censoring tits makes a BD/DVD release no better than toilet paper.
Wow, I'm surprised Wixoss even made it on the top 10, didn't think it was that popular.
Ditto. I saw one ep. It was interesting. Not enough to keep watching, obviously.
It looks nice, has lots of young girls and cheap drama, and is about a game. That's the anime popularity trifecta right there.
Wixoss is like a cheap knock-off version of CCS and Madoka... I've endured a full season of young girl angst, tossed it out of the window after two eps of the second season.
And you missed the WTF reveals at the halfway point.
The Top Five this Anon approve!
Trinity Seven is at
Lucky Number Seven~~
Nice.
that pic of Kawori from "Shigatsu..." is horribly out of proportion! her legs are too short!
Does she even deserve that much attention to detail, though?
Sweet, for once the top 10 is mostly ones I'm watching / watched.
Nice pic of Diane.
Shigatsu no Kimi no Uso's top spot is only "shocking" if you haven't seen any of it . . .
You can't seriously believe Shigatsu deserves top spot.
It's absolutely generic in every possible way ("Guy meets manic pixie dream girl and starts a love triangle with his childhood friend"), none of the characters are anything other than broad stereotypes ("The manic pixie dream girl", "the childhood friend", "the shy and quiet protagonist", "the cool and extroverted best friend") and even the humor is cliché ("Oh, she mistook him for a pervert! HOW WACKY!!!").
Literally the only solid points of the show are the OST (and praising the OST in a music-themed anime is like praising a book for having proper grammar) and the art (which is gorgeous).
Those two points are pretty strong, yes, they basically redeem everything else and make the show enjoyable.
But top anime of fall? Number 1? Above Kiseijuu? Above the triplet of great comedies Kokkuri-san, Amagi and Honya-san? Give me a fucking break.
Agreed but then you're fighting against the masses of single males/females that wish their romance partner was loveydovey. You might call that an escape fantasy.
If my friends and love interest treated me the way these characters did in the first few episodes I would have been looking for replacements.
If you can't see why Shigatsu's fans love it, that just means it's not for you and its strengths fall into areas that aren't on your radar. That's perfectly natural; recognizing quality that doesn't match your personal preference takes practice and effort. For example, I'm finding Kiseijuu surprisingly bland, but I can at least understand why the people that love it love it.
I agreed that its just a matter of tastes when talking about ones hobbies. If this chart is based on western fans' choice then maybe we will see some differences in the ranking, however we should respect fans from other regions as well.
Every individuals has their own preferences thus the assortment of genres so that there is something for everyone out there.
It's nothing special in my opinion. I've been watching it and the last two episodes (ep10/11) have been not been great as those before it.
you`re opininon a shit
Fans just like this whole series.
Which is why it got animated. Haters just hating imo
True. Shallow and manipulative anime are popular for a reason. Nobody said they had to be "good" to be on a toplist, just that they had to be entertaining to the kinds of people who vote on these things.
Been waiting for next episode of numbers 1 also no story on the ghost in a shell cast here
No Reconguista in G, sure it's list from otaku moefag and titfag. Really, I don't know anymore with their taste.
Recognguista in G is the biggest Gundam flop in years judging by the reported sales for the first BD/DVD. I doubt Sunrise will allow Tomino to do another Gundam show in that style again.
3,864 first week sales for the first volume, which is terrible for a new Gundam series. All of the Gundam Unicorn Blu Ray volumes reached over 100,000+ sold first week.
opps meant to say total not first week for Gundam Unicorn lol
Such new language I'm learning! How is a...titfag possible? Or a moefag? You also know that you are an otaku, right? You're watching anime on the internet that's not streaming on mainstream sites.
I've heard that the new Gundam is not good. I'd like to see for myself, but I heard it was horrendous.
Wow. This reads almost like the list of anime that aired in the fall, sorted by how overrated they are.
you weeaboos can keep watching all the anime here
i only watched one on the list
Where's Pri para?
