| Oricon Biz conducted an inquiry about this year's anime titles with high expectations among the people in the anime industry. Questionnaires were collected from people working for anime magazines, music labels, TV companies, and anime journalism. Top: The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya The movie draws attentions of the editors of the anime magazines and the anime article writers. Oricon asserted its assured success. Second: Durarara!! This title is uncommon as a light novel-based anime that it mainly targets at female audience. The manga adaptation serialized in Monthly G Fantasy will bring more fans. Third: So・Ra・No・Wo・To The anime industry people who voted for this title wish its success rather than foresee it. Anime producers long for a great hit of an original work. Shaft titles also collected good number of votes reflecting the enormous hit of Bakemonogatari. Other noteworthy titles: Bakuman Katanagatari Arakawa Under the Bridge Angel Beats!

| I don't think Sora no woto is gonna be that good -__-; I do have high hopes for Durarara and most of the others. Don't care about Haruhi, I'm still mad with the last season >_> |
     |
| The first two look promising. I bet Sora no Woto will disappoint. |
| From the top three i think the most i anticipated is Durarara!! XD |

darkmac said: Isn't that a mistranslation? How do you highly expect an anime? Is there any other idea of translating "期待されている"? I know it can be taken wrongly, but I have no other idea. |
I have high hopes for these two. |
 |
| Black★Rock Shooter, Unlimited Blade Works, and the upcoming Trigun movie, perhaps maybe? I think those would be noteworthy, but that's just me. ┐(-｡ｰ;)┌ Otherwise, I'd agree with all of those, with the exception of Sora no Woto... That just looks like it's here to disappoint, but it's far too early to tell. |
| nice list, i expect all will be good. as mentioned by last person, i also am somewhat surprised to not see black rock shooter on the list or even notable titles |

| Looking in the dictionary... "期待" can mean "to anticipate" as well as "to expect" or "to hope." In this case, the English usage would be highly anticipated, like one would an upcoming new movie or tv show. Edit --I'm most looking forward to Bakuman atm. :) |

| Hopefully 2010 will be a great year. I hope we get a lot of good anime which will erase 2009 so-so animes. |
 |
| Sora no Woto is going to be no good, I expect. Can't wait for Angel Beats! though! |
 |
| Looking forward to the Haruhi movie. Looks like 2010 will be a good year for anime. |

tehnominator said: Nope, apparently cute character designs, a group of female characters, and instruments equals auto-fail. Doesn't matter if the anime has amazing backgrounds that put K-ON! to shame, a military setting compared to a school setting, and the opportunity to actually have a plot.If people stopped thinking Sora no Woto is going to be K-ON!, they'd like it a lot more. Because it's not about fuwa fuwa time at all. It's dark, moody and atmospheric. Just because the girls are cute doesn't make this anime just another "moe" title. |
| Haruhi FTW!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Movie!!!!!! :-) :) So・Ra・No・Wo・To wasn't that bad. Angel Beats! - the two main characters reminds me of Haruhi and Yuki? But I can't wait to watch it! :) Black Rock Shooter!!!!!! :) How come Black Rock Shooter wasn't there? |

| Sora no Woto is looking to be the most interesting thing up there despite the average character designs. Also, did everyone suddenly forget about Despera or something...? |
| Hanamaru Kindergarten isn't #1. Something is terribly wrong. |
     |
| Don't care about the list - But mainly interested in the Nanoha movie and UBW. |
| Wow, I might actually go back to watching anime because of Durarara. |
| Haruhi number one? ....Fuck. It figures. |
 |

Stop that female audience shit. Shit is freaking manly. Written by the same author as Baccano! ...just stop that. Haruhi OH YEAH 2 1/2 hrs of KYON KUN AND HIS DENWA (also better be some damn Tsuruya-san too!) Bakuman should be really good too. |
Seasonreaper said: Also, did everyone suddenly forget about Despera or something...? I'm puzzled about that too... it looks great. |
tehnominator said: I personally think that Sora no Woto has a very Haibane Renmei-like quality to it. I haven't seen anything K-ON!-like other than the fact that the characters look the same. The complaints that it's "boring" is hilarious-- when did any of the advertisers or creators say this was a slice of life comedy? None of them did! It is marketed as a military and music anime. I said it before, nobody would be watching it and complaining about it if it didn't look like K-ON!, by far the easiest to troll title of 2008 outside of Haruhi 2 and Kampfer. Oh well, let the ignorant be ignorant, you can hardly fault people for being blind. Well personally I never expected it to be a slice of life comedy. And even if its not a comedy it doesn't mean it has to be boring :/ & the first episode WAS boring... there are quite a few people that think so & I'm sure there are some who thought it was fantastic... either way everyone has their own opinion. Still gonna watch the whole thing, since I don't like dropping anime, but the first episode was still boring for me, I do have hopes that the rest of this series will be good. (and live up to the Hype its expected to create) |

| Sora No Woto; from what I've seen, there is much 'possibility' that it will turn out to be moeblob. I hope not... At least, an atmosphere is tons better than K-on. However... I really hate that art style; I always see art as the first priority when I watch anime. If Background art wasn't that brilliant, I would've probably dropped this series at one shot. Durarara is the best among there. My expectation is just so high, but I know it will never disappoint me. It is obvious that it will be awesome series. That list is pretty much expected except 'Arakawa Under the Bridge'. From what I've seen, it is complete mystery how it will turn out. I guess it is studio hype again, but who cares, if SHAFT does it, I know it will be good. Better than endless eight anyways. Angel Beats. Yes. I would LOVE to watch it. |
| Pretty predictable list, and I'm going to be watching the top three with high hopes. Bakuman as well. I also can't wait for Masaaki Yuasa's latest. |

frostmage24 said: sure haruhi would make it in the list... but any news about the upcoming season oh shakugan no shana?! we've got our eyes on the watch for it... and we are very eager for the next season!!! new animes on the follow of the success of Bakemonogatari are hot too!! They still haven't finished airing the OVA yet so I'm expecting they won't release the 3rd season at least until Fall '10. I have high hopes and expectations for SoraWoto to deviate from turning into a moeblob show. The trailer showed plenty of promise. If it doesn't... well that would be quite the disappointment. Honestly, I think the show would've still been great if it didn't have the moe character designs but seeing as how otaku are in Japan, they probably won't watch anything without at least one moe character to satisfy their lust. |

| Nodame Cantabile Finale? |
| f the raw version atm is out for durarara but it hasnt been subbed. ive been waiting all this time. christ anyways im interested in haruhi, its a great series, and i love bakuman. as for shana. i think that they wont be doing any third season until s is finished so i have no idea when we'll get another season. and its a piss off but shaft is taking there sweet time with the other episodes of bakemonogatari because they are tidying up the blueray releases. but i have heard that they plan on animating kizumonogatari |
 |
| Vampire Bund sounds great and I am a sucker for Haruhi(damn you, great storytelling and trolls) |
| My anime list |
| Corrected the title and the text. Thanks, infinite_zero and aranelcharis. |
| List looks boring. Am interested in Bakuman though. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| That's nothing I'll be watching, haha. |
iday12 said: i also am somewhat surprised to not see black rock shooter on the list or even notable titles It's produced by Yamamoto Yutaka, the worst anime director ever, what is there to expect? Seasonreaper said: Also, did everyone suddenly forget about Despera or something...? Despera could be good but it's destined to be a commercial failure. That's the most likely reason why people from the industry didn't mention it. Also, no definite date for its release was stated, maybe it won't even air in 2010. |
| im looking forward to the haruhi movie XD |
 |
| Typical for the Haruhi movie to be at the top- I'm looking forward to it, but I'm more eager for the Gintama movie. |
| Hetalia movie? Now that's random. It's interesting to see that Sora no Woto was voted more on wishiful thinking than actual genuine quality. They're not really voting for Sora no Woto, they are voting for that Anime no Chikara timeslot and hoping these original projects take off. Anime producers are sick of having angry fans telling them to adapt manga word for word and want to make their own stuff? That's what it's is telling me |
The Cart Driver <-- My awesome anime blog |
| very much looking forward to Durarara!!!, Dance in the Vampire Bund, Katanagatari(despite the leak of information), Haruhi the movie(and i don't want it to end up like season 2) and Bakuman(read the manga so far, and its good)... im not really sure about Sora no Woto... though ive seen ep.1, but the spark still isnt that big... hope it gets more interesting in the following eps.. |
| Military K-ON is gonna be a hit obviously. I have high hopes for Durarara. As for Suzumiya... aren't people sick of it?! First season was enough for me <3 Btw, I wonder what producers they questioned. I would have a laugh at that list xD |
| I never understood what exactly made Haruhi be something that should be highly anticipated?.?.?. |

| Haruhi disgusts me to no end. I don't get why it's popular and i'll never watch it even if it kills me. maybe i am anticipating for it, on how much more it'll disgust me. Durarara!! should have been number one. |
 |
MagicWookie said: I never understood what exactly made Haruhi be something that should be highly anticipated?.?.?. First season was a phenomenon everyone got swept up in when it was being aired. It is why Kyoto Animation is where it is today. |

| i would expect Bakuman to be good! |
