Kittens-kun said: Have any of you even bothered to actually look at the top 100? There's some REALLY good shows. Gintama, Code Geass, Monster, Rakugo, Mushishi, FMAB, Ippo, etc. I don't see how you can think all these shows are shit or cancer. i fucking know right. I checked again, for real the top 100 has many really great show if you overlooked the messed up system |

Quite a lot of gems on there so that's decent except the ranking is extremely strange. Honestly I wouldn't think the general consensus is like that over there but aye different strokes. |

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. |

Turns out Love Live is to the Japanese anime community what Gintama is to MAL. In all seriousness, as is the case anywhere in the world, popularity is going to be a gigantic factor. In a country where people aren't constantly discussing things like Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note it's hardly surprising that they won't have the same positive skew as they do over here. Likewise, they don't have the same negative backlash from sections of their community to attach to SAO and Love Live. It clearly just never became a thing over there. |

tsubasalover said: The list for ranks 101 to 400 has also been announced on the official website prior to the announcement. I can't find death note even in this rankings and I have to say how death note is the most popular in the world but is not even 400 in Japan (how death note became popular?!) And when you compare these two (http://www.nhk.or.jp/anime/anime100/ani_report/female.html & http://www.nhk.or.jp/anime/anime100/ani_report/male.html) the overall rankings is similar to female rankings and this shows that most of the voters were females and it's not accurate |

Pokemon is one the #85 place behind, so that means Pokemon isn't really popular in Japan at all, right? And the Pokemon movie Giratina and the Sky Warriers was really good man, being place on the top #53 was really good!!! And the Digimon (one of my favorite chilldhood shows) being on #18 place was pretty good, because of Digital works and the animals creatures as digital beings!!! (Sorry for my poor english) |

To the people who are thinking why isn't there favorite shounen anime not in the #top100 list because people there have expose to manga and light novels. If you observe the list properly then you will see that the animes whose manga are very popular are placed quite low on the list (or are not in the list xD) |

Of course the ratings of anime in Japan would be different from other countries, but to all guys here who try to open our eyes by saying this I'd like to mention one thing - judging from the grand title 'one hundred years of anime', isn't this supposed to be a top list of all anime ever aired before 2016? And if yes, then most fans are angry not simply because their favorite piece is not № 1, but rather because the top listed titles do not seem to be real standouts in the whole century of anime history. Since the twitter posts are protected and the original NHK link is expired, I can not trace the original survey, so this is only a suggestion, but I do believe a probable one. |

I'm rather surprised about the lack of Saint Seiya. It inspired so many other series that it should have been here... even One Piece was partially influenced by it, and a ton of series reference it in one way or another (Gintama outright parodies it, and a few series use the poses and such). At least The Legend of Galactic Heroes, Gundam, Yamato, Bebop, Macross, Ghibli films, Sailor Moon, One Piece, Votoms, Nadia, Jojo and Akira made it. Honestly, though... why add Sailor Moon and cut Saint Seiya? Sailor Moon is basically a genderswapped version of the latter - they're the origin for the whole magical boy/girl genre. |

SS placed 123 in this ranking, not that bad considering the excessive recency bias of it and the fact that it was never that popular in Japan back in the 80s to begin with, and pretty good when considering that it placed even ahead of more popular shonens like DB, Naruto and Bleach... |

This list is a pure JAPANESE list of Anime. But Anime is not just for Japan anymore. There is a HUGE community of non-japanese anime fans (which is obvious), so it's pointless getting triggered by it. Irony is, I AM getting triggered by it! Really, What the F**K is tiger and bunny? |

To be fair, Bleach kind of stopped being popular when the whole X-Cution arc started. At least I completely gave up on the franchise by then. ...I haven't even started on Naruto or Dragon Ball, yet Saint Seiya is my favorite franchise. I guess that's pretty weird for a westerner, but eh, my country's anime and manga selection has always been limited. ...Oh hey, Yoroiden Samurai Troopers / Ronin Warriors is rank 173. That's surprisingly high. It ranked higher than Dragon Ball (255), Dragon Ball Z (176), Naruto (288), Naruto Shippuden (218) and Boku no Hero Academia (242). Wait... WAIT, Cyber Formula is rank 145? Are you telling me one of the most obscure Sunrise series actually outranked Naruto and DBZ? Cyber Formula is my favorite anime alongside Saint Seiya, so this makes me happy. Speaking of "recency bias", it's rather impressive how this obscure show from 1991 is that high up. |

Gintama , Madoka Magica , Code Geass Ranked high, the only wtf I could think of is Sword Art Online at top 20 and I didn't see T&B so I can't judge it. But in general it's a decent list with a few flaws. only shounen fuccbois/Normies will find the entire list is garbage |

Shioxus said: The biggest difference between our top 100 and the Japanese top 100 is pretty simple (IMO). Their's seems much more based on enjoyment. Love Live and Tiger and Bunny wouldn't be that high on any voting list from the West because they aren't deep and meaningful shows. Despite elitists calling every anime viewer that hasn't seen their favorite anime casuals, in the West viewers prefer things that have some meaning behind them. That, and a large majority of western viewers like Shounen anime because they are "cool" and "hype". Aside from Gintama, which in and of itself is a parody of all things shounen more than an actual shounen, there isn't even 1 shounen anime in the top 20 for the Japanese list. It seems to me that the Japanese aren't as caught up in shounen hype, as it's something most viewers (there) outgrow. Not to say shounen and meaningful anime are bad or wrong to enjoy, but those are the two main reason our lists are so different. In the US at least, if I were to post on almost any anime site that Love Live was my favorite anime (it's not) then I'd just get a bunch of elitists coming in explaining to me how wrong I am, and shounen fans telling me that their favorite shounen is better. Just take a look at any of the various anime threads on this site. Almost all of them devolve into elitists talking down to people and shounen fans with poorly constructed posts (and usually poor English) telling people their shounen is better. This thread itself is almost entirely just those two fanbases talking about the Japanese having poor taste and not understanding the medium that they themselves created. I'm not talking down to Western fans in general, look at my top 5 list. 4 of those anime are pretty common to see on top 5 lists on this site, so I'm no different (the exception being Beck, as I don't see that on many people's Top 5 lists). My main point here is that people acting outraged because the Japanese list doesn't conform to the Western anime tastes is incredibly silly because we want much different things out of our anime than the Japanese audiences do. With all that out of the way, I am surprised to see Tiger & Bunny at #1. Didn't know it was that popular like... anywhere? Haven't seen it myself. Also, thought I'd see Doraemon in the top 20 since I constantly hear people in the US talking about how popular it is in Japan. All in all this is an interesting list! I'll have to check out some anime off of it! I think reason why you barley see any Shonen in the top 25 is Japanese Anime viewers view Shonen the same as gamers (I hate to say that word) view Fortnite , and think that Fortnite is the cancer of gaming. |

Here's one more user who hadn't even heard of Tiger & Bunny which holds 3 places in top 10. To be honest, I haven't bothered to fully watch any of the top 10 anime on this list. It looks like the original Mainichi link doesn't work anymore, so now you can find the whole list in Japanese [url=https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ニッポンアニメ100#ベスト・アニメ100] here on Wikipedia[/url]. The page also has separate lists for female (on right) and male voters (in the middle) in addition to the general one in Top100. You can click the divided lists open under the title 総合順位. If we squeeze the list a bit (by combining the franchise to the highest rank it got), we can fit Evangelion(!!) and get a Top10 as follows: #1 Tiger & Bunny (x3) #2 Madoka★Magica (+1) #3 Love Live! (x3 +1) #4 Code Geass (+1) #5 Cardcaptor Sakura #6 Osomatsu-san #7 Gintama #8 Joker Game #9 Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu #10 Neon Genesis Evangelion #11 Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? #12 Mobile Suit Gundam #13 Digimon Adventure #14 Psycho-Pass #15 Sword Art Online #16 Clannad: After Story #17 Girls und Panzer #18 Haikyuu!! #19 Detective Conan #20 Hyouka #21 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood #22 Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) #23 Uchuu Senkan Yamato #24 Shoujo Kakumei Utena #25 Bungou Stray Dogs #26 Prince of Tennis #27 Cowboy Bebop #28 Steins;Gate #29 Natsume Yuujinchou #30 Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works I'm glad that also a few of my other favorites are so high like Clannad: After Story, Natsume Yuujinchou, FMA: Brotherhood, Psycho-Pass, and yes, even SAO. The only thing I'm a bit sad about is the lack of Parasyte, but I'm glad it got to the presentative animes of the year in that other listing. |
