Yeah that's where all of the projection towards NGNL comes from. I don't see much praise towards NGNL here either. |

| Ping Pong gets talked about because it is a series of great intellectual quality whereas NGNL gets talked about because... pedo fanservice, ecchi and blatant gamer power fantasies, which certainly has a mass appeal among the Western otaku and teenage crowd. Anyway, Spring's Top 4 are easily better than anything in my last year's Top 10 which is pretty amazing. 2014's Space Dandy, Jojo, Mushishi, Ping Pong, Sidonia make it a great year. Best season in years. |

| Jojolion anime when? |
IntroverTurtle said: A lot of sports anime coming out. Ping Pong, Jojo, and Mushishi have come out. I don't think I've ever given a seasonal anime a 10 the same season it came out until Ping Pong. The ending to the Initial D franchise, one I've liked since before I got into anime is in this year. And the year isn't even over yet. Yeah it's been great. Is Initial D really good? I've got it in my plan to watch but it's pretty low on the list right now, it does sound interesting though. |
| Raise it up, raise up the happiness. |
| Same here. The best year of this decade so far, and we are only halfway. I mean, Space Dandy, Ping Pong, Mushishi. |

| Ping Pong redeemed it |
| The Summer's going to really suck, and the Fall won't be much of a saving grace. |
| It's shaping up to be a solid year with shows such as Black Bullet, Mahou Sensou, and Wizard Barristers. I can't wait for Yama no Susume 2, that's going to be define 2014. |
 |
| Lol, No Game No Life redeemed anime after the abominations from the latter half of last year. Now we're in need of another redeemer. |

Best season in years. If it helps, I really do enjoy Ping Pong perhaps even more than NGNL, but I don't like it being used as a tool to mock other series, especially those on NGNL's "level" It's usually the fans that make an anime look bad to me, not the anime itself. I'm probably very easy to please in the end. But I'm just saying what I said before because I'm one nasty misanthrope and I despise exceptionalism. I just wanted to point out that popularity can be due to several reasons. Some series get popular because they really stand out and convince a lot of people with their qualities even though they don't have real mass appeal... and some just use cheap tactics and try to generate popularity by being conceptualized in a very specific way. Usually not very favourable and a bit risky as they usually peer into market niches that are flooded with similar titles that try the same - but worth it if they succeed. That's all there is to it. |

Yeah, I checked earlier and saw that Initial D first stage aired in like 1998, animation will be outdated quite a fair bit but that doesn't really bother me. The newest Initial D was released in like 2010 or something if I remember. It's quite a 'different' anime and it is quite unique due to the genre. I'll probably watch it after Magi, DAL2 & Baccano. |

MrGoldiii said: Actually I think the first season was in 98 then the second was in like 2000, then the fourth was like in 2006, then the fifth was in like 2013, and then the last season which is like 4 episodes is currently airing.IntroverTurtle said: It's pretty good, especially stages 1 and 4.

| A bunch of great shows thus far (Ping Pong, Mushishi, Jojo, Sidonia) and some very entertaining stuff (NGNL, Kamigami no Asobi). Heck, even lame shows were actually sort of fun to complain about (Mahouka, Black Pedo Bullet). Very good year so far. |

| solid but not as good as last year |
 |
| Pretty garbage, imo. |
| 2014 is awesome so far; so much better than 2013 which; and a lot of great anime are getting sequels so far; so this might become the best year for anime. ssjokg said: mfw when ufotable fails to deliver We still have: - Psycho Pass S2 - Log Horizon S2 - Selector Spread WIXOSS S2 - Hitsugi no Chaika S2 So this year is going to be awesome! |

SetsukoHara said: Sport is saving this year for the moment. totally agree. I love Haikyuu, Ping Pong and Baby Steps I'm looking forward to the upcoming seasons, though Summer doesn't look THAT promising to me. Fall will be sweet |
| to be honest the spring season was alot better than i thought and the fall has a big line up as well, 2014 has been pretty good so far better than last year for sure |
| Be It 10 or 1000 Men, The End Result Will Be The Same.. |
| You can say whatever you want later but Free! 2 saved the first day of Summer Anime and that will never change. |
| I can't wait for Kiseijuu, hope it does well. |
 |
| we got some good stuff like mushishi and ping pong and we got some shit like bokura wa minna kawaisou overall, I'd say it's average so far |
| The year's rocking ass, especially with the upcoming lineup. Oh, except winter. That sucked. |

| Jojolion anime when? |
| Year of fanservice (kinda)...? (like every other year isn't jam-packed with that...not that I'm complaining...) A lot of remakes and sequels too... Also, I'm looking forward to Fate/Stay Night in the hopes of seeing this again:  |
