| how did otoshimono make the top list?! nyan koi, darker than black, and railgun were awesome though lol at 11eyes being on top expected and not making satisfaction list |

iday12 said: Sora no Otoshimono has fantastic execution. It's a rather simple story that could've easily plummeted into fanservice hell but the creators stuck by it and made it... honest.how did otoshimono make the top list?! nyan koi, darker than black, and railgun were awesome though lol at 11eyes being on top expected and not making satisfaction list Whether that is the reason for the satisfaction rank, I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a bad show. Also, yay Sunred 2 and no Bund? Guess the Japanese share my fears about it not being good. |
| I can't imagine being satisfied with Umineko. |
| No Kuuchuu Buranko? Fail |
| that was A nice list |
shinkeikaku said: I wasn't really that impressed with it.No Kuuchuu Buranko? Fail |
 |
| They weren't expecting such a high rating with Sora no Otoshimono and Kimi ni Todoke, but they wen't as high as 4 & 6. I want to se how the Winter list turns out to be. |
     |
| Yay, Railgun! Japan, you rock. |
 |
| Railgun, #1? You must be kidding. The first episode was brilliant but overall its a complete failure as a series. |
  |
| I am happy Sunred made it into the top 10. |
 |
| Railgun and Nyan 1 and 2? you better be fucking kiddin' me. Railgun has been uber disappointment ever after episode 1, and nyan koi wasn't funny at all. and was just another stupid harem anime. Kimi ni Todoke, FMA:B should have been the top 2. I know japanese are dumb enough to understand Kemono no souja Erin, so there is no point talking about it, when undoubtedly it was by far, one of the best anime of recent years. Also, Seitokai no Ichizon should be well above Railgun and Nyan, because it grabbed fans attention despite being a "one room" show. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Compared to some of their previous expectation rankings, this seasons actually seems to be a hell of a lot more accurate that usual. Although lol at LvB at #6. The Japanese seem pretty excited for mutant crossaints posing as pigtails |
The Cart Driver <-- My awesome anime blog |
| Hidamari Sketch x ☆☆☆ as #1 for winter?!?! This series is a decent (I guess) slice of life series but sometimes it feels like I'm watching paint dry. I figured So・Ra・No・Wo・To would be higher since all the K-On! fans would already be fapping to it. Can't really comment on Autumn series since I haven't seen anything but Dragonball Kai; which isn't anything new. |
| The very idea of a "satisfaction" rating addressing the popularity of shows from season to season is silly to the point of irrelevance (however "accurate" it might be (lol otaku)), in my opinion. The last new show that I truly loved, one that actually gives me some hope for anime, was Kaiba—I'd like to know where that appeared on the "satisfaction" list for the season it was aired. Probably very low, while something as bad as this Railgun show most likely topped the list. radiantfire said: tehnominator said: That Railgun is first and not Kimi ni Todoke just reminds me what terrible taste Japanese anime fans have. Oh well, they never like actual good anime. Just whichever ones you can get the most collectibles from and which satisfy the most fetishes. Generalising leads to comments full of fail. :O Uh, right, except that she speaks the truth. |
| Glad that Sora no Otoshimono made it to the list (a huge jump in ranks too). Certainly a must watch for those who have yet to see it :) |

| Quite surprised that Kimi ni Todoke made it to the top 10. Granted, it's much better than most shoujo anime, but it's still shoujo, so it has, like, over 9000 times less fans than 90% of other anime out there. But it probably won't sell anyway. And I guess the attempt to make the adaptations of japanese classic literature for younger generation failed, since Aoi Bungaku isn't there. I won't say all of them were very good adaptations, but it's still somewhat sad. :( As for the expectations list, well, it's nice to see Hidamari Sketch on the first place. |
| Yay for kimi ni todoke! Got expectations for Baka. |
     |
| Ehhhh where's Hanamaru on the list. =[ |

tehnominator said: That Railgun is first and not Kimi ni Todoke just reminds me what terrible taste Japanese anime fans have. Oh well, they never like actual good anime. Just whichever ones you can get the most collectibles from and which satisfy the most fetishes. Completely agree. FMA and Kimi deserve the top spots the most IMO. (I would include Cross game and Trapeze as well) |

| Yes umineko falls down. I'm not sure about Railgun yet, since I'm just watching indexuu now. Hidamari on top? It's same thing as when Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was on the third of expectation list. Meh. So far, Baka to test to shoukanjuu was very impressive. So does Durarara. Dance in the Vampire bund not on the list, which makes me feel better somehow. (I don't know.) Ookami Kakushi is unexpectedly high ._. and, I repeat this; Usami-Haru said: shinkeikaku said: No Kuuchuu Buranko? Fail |
| I'm rather surprised that Umineko got the top 10. My hate for it aside, I honestly thought it would be lower because of the poor DVD sales, etc. Railgun is better than I was expecting so I'm happy for it. Excited for upcoming Accel arc. |
| brb, waiting till animes made tastefully sit on top of these rankings. |
 |
| Railgun 1st and Nyan Koi 2nd? Good joke! Oh... it's not a joke. |
radiantfire said: A certain user also exemplifies such an attitude What, too shy to address me directly? I believe you fail to understand what elitism is, if you take such issue with someone making a "generalization" that is by and large true. To begin with, tehnominator's claim was hardly "elitist"—it's a fairly simply known fact that otaku will eat up bad anime littered with marketable tropes. As a moderator on a site like this, you probably ought to be aware of that, unless of course you're one of those otaku (or rather, the western version of that) and you take offense at a such a vastly true "generalization". Which is: otaku like bad anime. How else do you think it sells? It panders to obsessive fans with poor tastes. Do you actually think that because it sells a lot, that makes it good, thereby diminishing tehno's claim as "elitist"? "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is irrelevant. This may be an elitist attitude of sorts, but that doesn't mean it's not right. The aim of elitism is not to engender ignorance, but rather the opposite. Try to understand this before you go throwing around more "fail" comments, which is not classy at all coming from a moderator. |

antitype said: >>>it's a fairly simply known fact that otaku will eat up bad anime littered with marketable tropes. >>>otaku like bad anime. Now this is extremely elitist comment. It's not a fact that otaku like bad anime. It's your friggin' subjective personal opinion dictated by your personal taste and nothing more. Just because you like different anime from the majority of "otaku" doesn't make your personal taste superior to others. And what is good taste in your opinion, could easily be bad taste in the opinion of other people. You're not a little kid, you should understand that if you have even a little bit of common sense. It's not elitist to say some anime is bad. It's elitist to say (or imply) other people's taste is inferior to yours. tehnominator said: The first point I made was why the Japanese audience didn't even seem to make a blip for actual anime with heart like Kimi ni Todoke and Cross Game, and paraphernalia and otaku satisfaction is clearly the answer. Where's the proof that Kimi ni Todoke and Cross Game is an "actual anime with heart"? It's just your personal opinion as well. You think those two have "heart", some people think Railgun and Nyan Koi have "heart". Some people even think all four of those have "heart", and definitely, some people think none of those have "heart". So, who is right and who is wrong? And is there a way to prove one's right? It's impossible, no matter how you try. Verdict: "personal opinion" =/= "facts". |
seishi-sama said: It's not a fact that otaku like bad anime. It's your friggin' subjective personal opinion dictated by your personal taste and nothing more. Just because you like different anime from the majority of "otaku" doesn't make your personal taste superior to others. I don't speak for tehno, but I wasn't exactly denying that I am quite elitist; however, I do believe that my argument that otaku buy tons of anime that is littered with marketable tropes is an absolutely indisputable fact. It is exactly how this industry is thriving more than it ever has. Therefore, my "friggin' subjective personal opinion" is dictated by personal tastes plus facts. That I think said easily marketable anime is more often than not worthless (bearing the rare exception) despite its POPULARITY—that is my opinion, though I believe I am correct, of course. I don't expect this to be a favorable opinion among most users on this site. seishi-sama said: Just because you like different anime from the majority of "otaku" doesn't make your personal taste superior to others. Naturally, I disagree. :) I don't claim to have "absolutely superior" tastes or anything so ridiculous, but I see that an awful lot of anime is bad, meant to be little more than marketable product, full of the tropes and fetishes that will pander to and SATISFY its loyal customers. It's not like I want things to be this way. I don't get the impression you completely grasp the ideas behind genuine elitism, though. |

It's impossible, no matter how you try. Verdict: "personal opinion" =/= "facts". Let's put your theory to the test then. Van Gogh: Me: Both art. Now which one was done with heart and which one wasn't? I have no doubt that something like Nyan Koi was made with glee by its creators who wanted to create an anime that entertained. But come on-- you seriously want to compare a ecchi harem series that was supposedly about cat curses to an actually heart-warming love story? I liked Nyan Koi, btw. |
| Meh, there's no Aoi Bungaku in it... |
| Oh, Japan. This list is full of facepalm. |

radiantfire said: What I was addressing was the fact that you two place your preference above a group of people who do not share the same preference as you two. It is a conceited attitude - one that certainly has no place here at MAL. Guy, everybody does this. People are opinionated. But really, effectively what you're saying here, if you're paying any attention to the context of the conversation, is that the only people welcome at MAL are those who never think critically, and always gleefully approve of every last thing that becomes popular simply because... it's popular? Sorry, but I enjoy this site, and I figure I have just as much right to use it as anyone else. My "conceit" has nothing to do with it. Pretty much the only person making any ostensibly personal attacks here was you, a moderator, with your "full of fail" comments toward tehno. And you want to talk about what belongs on MAL? Don't make me laugh. radiantfire said: Any opinion based on subjective preference is neither right nor wrong. You, uh, seem to be having trouble staying with the conversation. Let me run it by you again: seishi-sama said: It's your friggin' subjective personal opinion dictated by your personal taste and nothing more. antitype said: I do believe that my argument that otaku buy tons of anime that is littered with marketable tropes is an absolutely indisputable fact. It is exactly how this industry is thriving more than it ever has. Therefore, my "friggin' subjective personal opinion" is dictated by personal tastes plus facts. You see how that works? radiantfire said: I reference seishi-sama's reply: "And what is good taste in your opinion, could easily be bad taste in the opinion of other people." Do you really expect this to mean anything to me? Do you even realize how irrelevant this is? Obviously, I believe these people are wrong (though it's not always that simple—I talk with a lot of people who like different things from me; they have different opinions on things and different tastes, but tastes that I can appreciate (and then there are those who are just so wrong that they're just wrong)). This is the nature of opinions—they lend themselves to agreement or disagreement. Are we not supposed to talk about them? Not that I care for your opinion on the matter at this point. |

radiantfire said: Post Dude, I'm not even sure what you're arguing about anymore. If you want to get very technical about "elitism", you were being elitist when you called out tehnominator on page one; radiantfire said: Generalising leads to comments full of fail. :O You're saying that someone else's opinion (that Kimi no Todoke deserves to be number one, or that otaku have taste governed by things outside of pure quality) is "fail". I don't know; sounds pretty elitist to me. Personally, I don't have a problem with elitism. If there was no elitism, then the only logical conclusion is that "Mars of Destruction" is every bit as great of an anime as "Cowboy Bebop". However, since you do have an issue with this, it bears pointing out that you're guilty of the exact same behavior. |
