wow, so much hate for keion. seriously, what anime do you think will suit the 1st place better? my favorites - higashi no eden and cross game - are not popular enough. and fullmetal alchemist '09 and code geass r2 are so average, imo.

i think this entire list is utter crap. i mean there are some shows up on the list that deserve it but there is entirely too much "fan-boying" going on. its ridiculous that nearly every single character on the male and female list is from these shows. i'm sorry but people should broaden their horizon just a lil bit more. this list = F-

All these lists are a joke...


Well said both of you. These lists are very odd. Were exactly do they gather this info? and is this supposed to be all time? I don't understand how K-on! could be in the number 1 spot, it shows that this survey was nothing more than reporting whats popular at the monet, which all of us already know.


Anyways

And I LOLD Yui beat Mio.
Once upon a time, millions of Mio anything popped out of nowhere, $700 headphones were bought and she was worshipped and fanboyed to kingdom come.
Yeah, remember those times?

They'll find a new moe moe kyun to fanboy over soon. Next Kyoani production everyone will forget all about K-ON just as they did with Kanon.

I think there are too many good anime/characters to make a list out of it. And really, I also was very suprised that Yui beat Mio. That's quite funny :9 I don't think K-on is actually overrated, but those other series are very good too! It's fun to read those lists.

Well, this poll is basically what it always has been -- a flavor of the week crowd mixed in with die-hard loyalists that are slowly but steadily losing hold.

Not to comment much since it really is nothing more than just a popularity poll but it is really sad to see that you can basically put out some pretty mediocre content and it'll win as long as you carry the otaku vote.

I bet you by winter everyone will have completely forgotten about K-ON! As stupid as I think K-ON is I'm glad to see that people at least had the sense to rank Yui higher than Mio but I do find it weird that Yuki outranks Haruhi. Also I was under the impression that people hated Shinji and what's Kira Yamato doing there, I thought it was all about 00 now. The rest of the list is basically what I expected.

K-ON being number 1 didn't surprise me... but Haruhi, still up so high even after the Endless Eight garbage? Oh well, at least FMA Brotherhood is up there. Other than that... just meh. Also, I'm going to say I didn't really enjoy Gintama that much...

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

LS has pretty much died off, but I can't predict the same for K-ON, it's the best slice of life I've watched recently, and maybe ever.

What, Kyon does not inspire you with his soaring heights of personality exploration?

lol, K-On.

And once again, we have proof of this shallow world that gets swayed by moeblobs so easily it doesn't even leave me in despair anymore. Soon, all Anime will be like K-On... and North Korea will blast Japan away as a result... and Kim Jong Il will be celebrated as a hero...

And when we're all old, we'll tell the children in the neighborhood the grand tale of a fabulous country that was destroyed because it abused the shallow minds of random Otaku to earn money. Some of you will then realize that you supported shows like that once and they'll find you hanging from the ceiling of your room with a note only saying "I'm sorry" attached to your lifeless body. Nobody will come to your funeral and your neglected grave will slowly rot away...

Tiny Tim will have died by then as well.

I find it funny that people are so surprised. Japanese Otaku don't like thing based on quality, they like things based off of name recognition and how much they are expected to like and buy it based on community tradition. It was absolutely impossible for Haruhi and K-On to not end up near the top of these silly little poles, because they have done nothing that will make Japanese fans fail to recognize them as popular moe series that they are supposed to like and buy.

Oh that and Newtype Magazine is owned by Kakakawa so they can just fudge whatever results they feel like. If you think they are going to allow people to see Haruhi dropping even a little in popularity while it's airing then think again. THAT would send otaku opinion and sales into a downward spiral because they would see it dropping in the polls and feel that they are supposed to like and want to buy it less. Kadokawa isn't THAT suicidal. They still want their 50,000 plus combined DVD+Blu-Ray sales I assume. I mean if K-On is pushing 40,000 this week then I guarantee Haruhi does at least that high.

K-on was nice despite the fact that it's a cliche bigger than Asia...some girls,cute music,some comedy but number 1?It was cute,but not better than evangelion,code geass or even gundam 00.Kyon is nice too,i like his sarcasm,sometimes funny but again number 1?With characters like Lelouch or Shinji(btw those who say that he's a shitbag probably thought that evangelion is only about some children piloting some huge robots)...Yay for Asuka!Yuki,rei,mio,haruhi,cc and sheryl are nice too.

This list doesn't surprise me. Though K-on was great and all, I don't think it's quite #1 quality.


And it's amazing the amount of bashing this list gets, when it's actual people from Japan's opinions. I mean, seriously, why flame over opinions when they don't match yours?
