| Hmm, minami ke okaeri wasn't really that satisfactory for me... |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| Despite it facing quality issues towards the end, I'm glad to see Okaeri at the top! |
| well, Zoku Natsume so high? Didnt expect this..., I don't usually watch anime like this, but it quite absorbing however xP |

| Why the high expectection for Druaga? |
| I'm glad Natsume got the credit it deserved. It was really good. |

| Eden's at 23? I guess it's only popular for non-japanese anime fans |
| Don't we all already know that elevens have shit taste? |
| Wow, two of the series I've been anticipating most this season were at the bottom of their list. |

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| A quick glance at the thread title and I thought it said: Japan's Satisfaction and Expectation Wanking for Winter and Spring Anime After a moments reflection, that title is probably more apt. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Zoku Natsume should have been at the top |
| Why got Higashi no Eden such a low rank? Oh well.. |
 |
Antanaru said: No wonder there is so much crap produced lately. No kidding. Okaeri is their top pick? I thought it was mediocre at best. Horrible animation and art and the only thing that saved it somewhat was Hosaka. Even that gag started to become stale. As for their spring 09 expectations, I'm surprised to see Eden so low. |
 |
| Indeed, as Eden seems a nice anime to me as far as I've seen... also a shame that there isn't much expected of Hanasakeru Seishounen and that FMA2 is on top. Why oh why is Queen's Blade in that list... |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Yay, glad to see that Senjou no Valkyria is ranked that high. :) |
Huh? But then again it looks like they had Clannad After at 29 so these are stupid anyway. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
rlime said: Hmm, minami ke okaeri wasn't really that satisfactory for me... First season was still the best overall for me.. and the expectation rankings for spring animes are pretty much the same as mine with a few exceptions and minor switches. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| I'm actually most excited for Higashi no Eden and Basquash. And, oh god, the winter and fall "satisfaction" ratings... a lot of them are hilarious. |
 Znips: When Shay is born she just crawls back in the womb to shitpost for another year |
| Basquash is 24th? But the first episode looked better than that to me :( |
 |
| Higashi no Eden #23 o_____o And Queen's Blade #14. So not going to happen. |
     |
| not really surprised, japan seems to favor things quite differently than the western counterparts. interesting to see how k-on and asura cryin will hold this season |
 |
| Lol Oct expectations did not go as well to results. But yeah, Natsume is awesome, so is Regios. Be higher~~ Ga Rei @ #3 oooh yeah. |
| Minami-ke Okaeri was horrible...idk what thats all about... |
| *4, Dragonball Z Kai o_o and K-ON! as 7th, regardless of how many sigs/pictures/fanarts are there for it after the 1st episode, lol. |
| Minami ke okaeri was not THAT good . _. |
     |
| These lists are really interesting. I just love how everything switches around after watching. I don't see Pandora Hearts in the top 20 O.o I thought that show was hyped up or something... |
| Well they were wrong about Basquash, still Natsume and Hayate gets love and that makes me happy. |
| My anime list |
| 23, Higashi no Eden 24, Basquash! ridiculous ranking... |
 |
| I knew FMA: Brotherhood would be #1 of Spring. lol |
| WTH? Higashi no Eden and Basquash AT THE END? WHAT?? These people are so used to crap anime being produced... >.> |
| While I still have two episodes left, I was not satisfied with Maria†Holic. Too much focus on boring characters. I had higher expectations. This season, I have high expectations for Valkyria Chronicles. |
| Eden of the east fails. maybe is just us westerners interested in it xD |
| What's most amazing to me is Linebarrels got a satisfaction ranking of 14, while Skip Beat didn't even make the list. WTF is that about, Japan? |
 |
| Higashi no Eden has a very limited target audience. Basically, around probably 5% of the whole anime audience, meaning, 95% of people who watch anime in Japan will never watch this show. And Basquash is basically produced by a westerner, which is enough of a reason to not expect anything from this show. Nothing surprising there. Oh, and it's good to not see 07-Crap anywhere. NabeShogun said: What's most amazing to me is Linebarrels got a satisfaction ranking of 14, while Skip Beat didn't even make the list. WTF is that about, Japan? Same reason, Skip Beat has a limited target audience as well. It's not that no one liked it, just not many people watched it. |
| Okaeri? What? I gave Okaeri the lowest score out of all the Minami-ke seasons. It wasn't horrible, but definitely no better than average quality. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Natsume should have been number one, skip beat should have made the list and Tetswuan Birdy Decode 2 should have exceeded expectations :/ btw, how are these things determined? is it based on ratings, critic reviews or some group of losers with a god complex? |
