Current Gintama arc is causing quite the enthusiasm. The others suck sorry no late night schlock for me I'm on a diet.

Fujoshi and fanfic writers turned professional light novel authors.

It's had an official English release for quite a while from what I hear.

Not surprising, though. I expected as much that the poll would turn out like this, especially 1 to 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16, 18 and 20.

It probably sounds good in Japanese. Hoping it will be a nice comedy show tbh I don't watch many of those.

it is bad English translation
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

There is a hefty amount of anime airing in spring, around 45 new series in total, so getting into the top 20 decent enough.

Fuck yes Gintama's on top, that's all I really care tbh.

Whatever happened to FSN:UBW hype in Japan?

Can't believe Nisekoi is actually still garnering interest, but no surprise, the manga is still selling so well.

I think it was 2 or 3 hypes (can't remember atm) while it was airing. 4 isn't such a surprise.

I'm pretty sure it was the same kind of poll.

Yeah, 4's still pretty high considering that it's a given that Gintama and Nisekoi: would obviously be more popular, given their previous successes.

Never seen gintama gets a lot of hype

Fate stay night because I liked first season more than zero

Arslan senki I dont know much about it but a buddy told me hiromu arakawa took up authorship some years ago. So that alone is worth checking it out I think

Digimon for nostalgia. I just hope it isnt newage

You don't understand otaku popularity and mainstream perception

Gintama is much widely known among male Than female but
Not so popular as otaku culture

Gintama is like hunter hunter or diamond no ace, it is seen part of mainstream youth culture among Japanese boys but seen as semi-mainstream plus big part of otaku culture among women

They have GITS and Knights of SIdonia, I think I might have to give it to them.

EDIT: Also, being serious for a minute, I hope all of the people complaining about the lack of old school style anime actually support these, because I'm pretty excited about those two plus Arslan.


Its actually number 8. I missed Sidonia because it had a preview episode last December so MAL had its air date wrong it didn't show up in my entered date range.

More like not hyped, how can it be underrated when it hasnt even aired yet?
But anyways, the fact it's not even airing on TV has probably a lot to do with it.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Just had a look at the dungeon one, the name makes it sound much worse than it is.

Still might look funny on the DVD cover of the English port.
