I’m glad to see LotGH up there in the top 15, although what we consider the best anime is quite different to what Japan thinks. I might give Bunny & Tiger a shot to see what it’s about

Japan has weird taste when it comes to everything. I don't even know what Tiger & Bunny is. Only thing I can agree with on the top 10 is Code Geass. Japan and their weird idol craze smh.

Japan has great taste alright

Gintama
K-on!
Hibike Euphonium

Three of my most favorite franchises are in top 50. They have my respect. Also funny how western fans are triggered by seeing the list.

World doesn't revolve around FMAB. If anything they definitely won't get triggered by seeing MAL's top list since FMAB, Gintama, Steins gate, Code geass, Clannad, monogatari, your name, silent voice etc are incredibly popular in Japan.

American fails to consider that their taste has been,at least to some degree, formed around the hollywood canon. Intensity, exagerated clímax and drama, violence, conclusive and satisfactory endings, hyper morality and traditional values, and even predictable plots, etc. That's one of the reasons FMAB is n1 in your list, and im not saying that FMAB isn't great, but is a series that has various elements of american TV in contrast with most of the animes in the nhk list. The lack of slice of life anime in the Mal top 100 proves what american viewers value in a series. I mean come on! You have K-on around 350 and the japanese have it in 41

Quite interesting to see SAO in the top 20.

Light Novel reader hated the adaptation. Heck, even neglected it(*mostly coming from LN elitist*).

Tiger and bunny is the best superhero anime ever.,..worthy of top10 because of the banter alone...but cowboy bebop not being higher is strange and was death note or monster on this list...didn't see bleach rather(guilty pleasure of mine) and man SAO haters annoy me...it's like a fanboy group of haters

It blows my mind that some of the same people who almost worship Japan and it's anime like :I only watch sub, I'm learning Japanese, the West should have zero influence on anime, I watch anime because I'm bored with western shows, are throwing a fit over Japanese tastes. You love the culture of Japan until you don't agree with it.

The responses to this list are pretty hilarious. Of course the Japanese aren't going to have the same tastes as weeaboos. The top anime on MAL just plain aren't the top anime over there. Yes, believe it or not, FMA:B is not the masterpiece many of you think it is, and SAO is not the lowest piece of crap many of you think it is. And I'm not saying the opinions on these are entirely wrong, but the overwhelming love or hate of many of these shows has more to do with groupmind that actual objective analysis.

Take a look at this site. It's sort of a MAL equivalent:

https://www.anikore.jp/pop_ranking/

Note the positions of shows like Steins;Gate, Bakemonogatari, Attack on Titan, and SAO. There are many similarities to the rankings on MAL, and some of the same shows are in the top 10/20/100 etc. But it demonstrates very well how the Japanese don't think FMA:B is the god of all shows and just how many more them love SAO than hate it like here.

Now, I'm not acting like that site is the end all site for all Japanese anime rankings, but it does prove a point. Their group taste is significantly different than MALs group taste (and IMO they have better taste).

I also think one of the huge flaws in MAL that has to be accounted for is that ratings for subbed and dubbed versions of anime aren't separated. An anime that is an 8 subbed can easily become a 7 dubbed. MAL has nothing to compensate for this problem. It's no different than how the PC version of a game might be terrible due to being a bad port of a console game (or visa-versa), even if that game on console was fantastic and highly rated. Sites like Metacritic separate the ratings based on platform. I really think MAL should do the same based on subs and dubs. You could still have an overall combined rating, but it would be interesting and possibly enlightening to see the separate sub and dub ratings.


The problem with separating rankings for dub and sub is the elitists who only watch sub because "sub is always better." They are already biased against the dub and would probably always rank the dub lower no matter the quality or just never rank the dubs. Generally speaking modern dubs tend to be of the same quality as the subs. Even if you see a difference in quality it usually isn't very bad. You may have a preference for one voice actor over another, but we don't have the bad dubs we had back in the 80s and 90s.
