It wasn't in the same league as these comments: - What, too shy to address me directly? - ...which is not classy at all coming from a moderator. You've gotta be kidding. What you said looked really obnoxious coming from a moderator, and me pointing that out is just as much of a comment—on your "full of fail" remark, rather than a personal insult—as your comment (on her "generalization" (which wasn't really a generalization)). And then you sent a passive-aggressive insult my way. Which was pretty interesting, noting that you chose to attack me instead of this kid: kaena said: i dotn know what you ppl are complaining about, but railgun deserves to be 1st or maybe you americans have fail taste in anime after all, anime is made by japanese kaena said: if you are laughing cuz you think im correct, then im glad someone knows anime if you are laughing cuz you think im wrong, then you need to review what good anime is What attitude does he exemplify, would you say? radiantfire said: Show me facts. Give me statistics and/or studies that enforce your points. Yeah, you know, I would, but I don't really have any interest in continuing this conversation with you. This has become tedious, and you're little more than a hypocrite who doesn't even know what he's arguing about. |

YoungVagabond said: Personally, I don't have a problem with elitism. If there was no elitism, then the only logical conclusion is that "Mars of Destruction" is every bit as great of an anime as "Cowboy Bebop". I know you and I have clashed, but you're speaking nothing but the truth in that post. And honestly, I feel like the word "elitist" is being thrown around way too much when what it really means here is... critical, knowledgeable, tasteful, etc. Interested in art, and not just the tropes or fetishes that fans find comfortable in popular, marketable anime. |
| Wow... few things are going on there. Maybe not few. Start of all is basically this; Generalising leads to comments full of fail. :O Meh, then, there is nothing I can do now. Everything is clear that those are the one that started all this 'not so laughable' posts; not tehnominator's personal opinion. Calm down mates. There was so much better words than 'fail'. I mean, that's not even a proper rebuttal. Just because you don't think that's right, it doesn't mean that claim is fail..  *Can't say anything since I haven't since Railgun. Eh. |
| Quite surprised to see Railgun at the top since it wasn't great (or even good at times) and it was highly anticipated. I personally can't stand Nyan, and Darker than Black doesn't interest me so I won't comment on it. Sora no Otoshimono was great, so I personally love seeing it ranked so high. As for the Winter anime... considering a lot of the shows I've seen so far haven't caught my attention, i was interested in seeing what this list would entale. Loving Hidamari at the top though that means it will be ripped at the end (that seemed to be the trend last year at least), and Baka up there is pretty good as well. Interesting list, lets see how it ends up in April. |

| The otaku industry does not exist to serve people outside of Japan. In fact, I'm willing to bet many who whine and bitch about "moe" anime or w/e and long for the good old days of LOGH or w/e don't even support the anime industry. If you don't support the anime industry financially, then why the hell do YOUR opinions matter? Why the hell should the otaku industry satisfy YOU? Anyways, good list for satisfaction and expectations, I guess. I wish DTB ranked higher, but second season definitely was not as good as the first season. Yay for Hidamari, though. So far, it's definitely looking pretty good. I applaud Hidamari for being able to be consistent for three seasons (not an easy thing to do), so even if it does not end up being number 1 for the season, it should still rank out the top. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

People who want good anime will buy good anime (at reasonable prices), and probably see this "otaku industry" (or w/e) you speak of as something quite unrelated to their own interests—doesn't mean they can't express their distaste. But hey, your wallet speaks louder than our words, capitalist cliché. |
| Umineko huh..it was good but I expected something better esp in terms of characters. Battler was a terrible lead char.. Shannon, Jessica, Kanon and George were annoying and forgettable. |

But hey, your wallet speaks louder than our words, capitalist cliché. It's all dictated by supply and demand. It doesn't matter if capitalism is cliche, but that's how it works (especially in Japan). Rant and rage all you want, but unless the otakus decide to change their habits, it's not going to change anything. I was a firm supporter of Haruhi franchise until the endless eight garbage. I took action by boycotting all future Haruhi goods. Unfortunately, fanboys still buy Haruhi goods in Japan. It shocks me, but what else can I do? |

| I think the ratings show a weak season of Anime in Japan, as well as that I'm completely out of touch with what the Japanese enjoy. I've noticed that Index/Railgun has quite the following and DtB's first season was quite well received and there is a somewhat large fanbase for that studio's work. With a general lack of any competition in their niches it makes sense that they came in so high, though I personally don't agree with it at all. |
kaena said: i wouldnt be talking your tastes fail even more Haha okay. These words from a such a generic weeaboo wound me so. |
| Haha, you tard, I've been watching it for longer than you've been alive. Get a clue. |
| Kimi ni Todoke should have been in the top 3 .... + why is durarara!! only *3? It's the best anime in the whole winter season. >.< |
 |
| i dont understand how can anybody watch Kimi no Todoke -_- FMA/durara pwn <3 |
| Jeez at all the flaming. It was an EXPECTATION and SATISFACTION ranking. How serious do you have to get about some ranking that's half based on feelings? Although I personally thought DtB S2 wasn't that good, other than being a sequel. Lots of ppl say Hidamari's good, but since I don't really enjoy loli comedy, something like Lucky Star? Not sure if I'll ever start on the FIRST season of Hidamari. I like Gintama comedy though. But it really seems that Japan likes funny anime, which is probably better when you don't need to read subs half the time. |

| This goes to show that Japan like to much on action than too much dramatic scene!! Same to most of the anime fans here~~~ As for me, I always rate the anime based on how well the story develop and how entertaining it is.... So don't you dare flame me if my anime list for 2009 is unfair, different people have their own different taste. 1) Kimi ni Todoke 2) To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 3) Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 4) Durarara! 5) Nyan Koi 6) Bakemonogatari |

| Gyagu Manga Biyori + is a bit low....I guess not everyone like this anime Katanagatari is not even in the list....so sad smokes said: I think Kimi ni todoke is just a bit overrate due this its good start...I am not sure this anime is even worth re-watch or not.i dont understand how can anybody watch Kimi no Todoke -_- FMA/durara pwn <3 |
Cheonyu said: Kimi ni Todoke should have been in the top 3 .... + why is durarara!! only *3? It's the best anime in the whole winter season. >.< because it's only new. plus it doesn't have the younger people as an audience because it's more mature. i imagine though, that it'll get higher on the list. |
| My favorite anime gaining high ranking? That's great. I was sad how the moment I changed the anime on my list to complete, one of the thread was discussing how much it sucked. But, now I can proudly claim that their opinion is only a minority and more people liked it with me. |
