| Seems a condition to be listed in the Best Anime list is an average sales of at least 4000 :-D |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Something tells me that the voters in this poll were skewed towards idolm@ster fans. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |

| Oh wow, Alot of iDOLM@STER |
Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. One of life's greatest blessings, is the freedom to pursue one's goals. We are all walking through a wonderfull dream, a dream called youth. The very key is needed to unlock the courage which resides in everyone. |
| A deserved win for Hamuzou. |

| For once some awards that I agree with. Most of them - especially Idolm@ster (except that Producer was better mascott than Hamuzo-sama). Still Mecha Design in Pirates?! Not that it doesn't deserve something for ships design :) |
| So Nanoha A's get second. Well, it looks like I have to be more patience here. Kurobas got 9? Hmm, I thought its going to be top 5 at least considering the animation and the story there. Other than that, no major surprises though looks like Idolm@ster kinda dominating there. |
 |
| I think The iDOLM@STER fans voted for this poll.Kurobas must be at 3 or 4 place. |
 |
| im happy that SAO was in the top 10 but to be fair it hasnt even finished airing yet so the placement might be a bit to early mayby it will have better luck next year since it still airing for the whole fall season as well XD |
| Wow actually some awars I can find myself agreeing with for the most part. Except for the best theme songs but that's really just my music taste. |
| idolm@ster !! take top 2 hmmmmm ?! so many xD |
| The iDOLM@STER Fuck Yeah. Well deserved awards. Such a shame Idols lost in the most important category but that was to be expected given Fate/'s popularity. I suppose we have no access to exact numbers? |
| iDOLM@STER fuckin represent! |
| so many iDOLM@S XD at least SAO, Penguindrum and KnB is there :D and the best male and female characters... of course... of course. |
| Way too much Idolm@ster on that list. Still interesting. |
| Where is Gilgamesh in top male characters... What the fuck D: |
| Woah... great awards... |
| Kuroko no Basket lower than Haiyore Nyaruki-san, SAO, and Hyouka.. World, what is going on? And Chitanda Eru in the top females ._. World, WHAT is going on?! If you like Hyouka, at least put Mayaka there But then again you probably like it for Chitanda |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Too much iDOLM@STER... Never knew that it was this popular in Japan. And Saber second best female character...? She should be first. |
| Happy to see The iDOLM@STER, Fate/Zero, K-ON! & Mouretsu Pirates winning 1st places. Very well deserved :D |

| So it's like a literature nobel of anime, i. e. full of crap. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| IDOLM@STER is really popular Top 10 are well deserved agreed with the top 3 studios, but I don't like ufotable too much And I don't know about the character rank.... Fate Zero characters are not that good imo Overall, good judging |
Firixizu_MintOct 7, 2012 5:42 AM
| What are Saber and Chitanda Eru doing on the best female character list? Kuroko no Basket should have been higher And Space Brothers shhould have been ont he list. |

Vizi_Reality said: Japan simply loves main characters. That's I'm very surprised that Broskandar showed up in top3, not to mention winning the poll. Such a shame Miki/Maktoto/Takane/Twins/Azusa/Hibiki/Chihaya/Iori/Yayoi weren't there, instead of Haruka...IDOLM@STER is really popular Top 10 are well deserved agreed with the top 3 studios, but I don't like ufotable too much I don't know about the character rank though... Overall, good judging edit: Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Nah, not at all, I really don't know why I'm so happy since first to last second of every single episode ;)Is Idolmaster any good? Try it out, it starts pretty slow but grows on you with every next episode and you don't even know when you start loving the series that seemed only meh/fine/pretty good at first. Just watch it, it's very enjoyable slice of life. |
ProgeuszOct 7, 2012 5:48 AM
| Yeah for KnB, SAO and Mawaru Penguindrum :D And is IDOLM@STER that good?I never watched it. |
| It's the reason why Miura draws Berserk so rarely, believe in his taste ;] |
| O.o Idolm@ster win a lot of categories. But character design. They are better desings than this anime. So... Was it obvious that SAO is on the top 10? yes. |
| Popularity contest, so no surprise the likes of idolm@ster and f/z dominated. Glad to see the likes of Tari Tari up there though. |
| Too much Idolmaster ( Somebody explain to me why. Idolmaster was pretty decent but not that good to take almost all of the spots in my opinion ) Tari Tari in no.4 better than Hyouka, SAO, and KNB? XD ( Moe Pirates in the Top 10 Haha ) A-1 PICTURES IN NO.2 BEATING KYOANI? LOOOOOOOOOOL. LOL. Dafuq XD |
-MgZ_Oct 7, 2012 6:33 AM
| Fate/Zero deserved what it got. Though Saber as one of the best female characters is a little bit too far.... Koyomi is alright. Of course people said his character is at it's peak in Kizumonogatari. Maybe they're judging off of that. Are these like the Emmys for anime? |

| mawaru should have been number 1, not 10 - truly amazing anime! almost everything else on this list = mediocrity (although i did think mouretsu pirates was a very fun watch + sword art online is fairly decent)....... |

| Fanboys are soooo fanboys... |
| Woot, F/Z best anime and Ufotable best studio! Well done Ufotable. Apparently the Idolmaster has better scriptwritting the F/Z. Gotta check that out... How in the world did E7 AO not win best mecha design? Nirvash > all. |
 |
| Don't understand why Haruka is even popular. IMO HATED HER CHAR, ranked her bottom of all the IM@S characters |

| SAO only on 7? The amount of fanboys in the threads would indicate otherwise.. But Hyouka on 5 is surprising at least for me as well. But on the other hand, it's a KyoAni animated show. And Eru on #3 for best female character. Haha, considering all the hate she gets, that's quite funny, too. You go girl. :D |
 |
| I'm happy to see some anime/characters up there! I guess I should watch iDOLM@STER... |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |

 |
| Didn't know Rider was so popular |
| lol why Gilgamesh is not on the top? but ye Rider of Fate/Zero is not that bad |
Ejc said: It's not about iM@S fans but Japanese in general, they like main characters much more than us. Even if that isn't the case here, if every iM@S fan voted for his favorite girl it's possible Idols would take majority of top10 but none would get into top3, so fans decided to vote for main heroine.leesan said: Don't understand why Haruka is even popular.

I'm happy this thread encourages so many people to watch The iDOLM@STER. Have fun! |
