It burns me up, but Apparently Dengeki.com 's Satisfaction rankings for Summer don't even LIST "Spice and Wolf II" in the top 10! It was number 1 in the Expectation rankings, as seen in the OP.

Im happy with Eden and basquash, but i wanna know where phantom ended hahah
and darn Saki higher than FMA >.<!!

AGREED with the latter part. i bet it was the first 15 episodes that they thought was a total rip-off because it was "the same" from the other FMA anime. tsktsk.

I'd swap Umineko with Canaan.
I hear alot of fans are disappointed with the Umineko anime.

K-On! was always destined for greatness I guess; not very surprising since Haruhi was the anime of 2006. Eden at second place is always very satisfying, an intelligent and truly awesome series indeed.

Spice and Wolf II will be the top series this season, with Bakemonogatari and Umineko very close behind.

i loved it how Eden of the East got 2nd place. :] and it wasn't expected to be watched over there at first. your Johnny became serious for a while.

Am I the only one who had over-the-top expectations for Eden of the East? I'm very happy that it's in second, though! My sig is insanly outdated btw., I have watched more than one episode of it. :p But, Princess Lover! in last place? o.o I have high expectations for that one.

after the 7 or 8 episode Princess Lover is pure crap

Can't believe K-ON is above Eden. Moe rules I guess...

There shouldn't even be a discussion about it, without a doubt Spice and Wolf II.

Spice and Wolf II will be number one (that's what I think), even if I think this season is not as good as the previous. There are just too many people raving for this show. I mean, it's over 8.5 before the show is even half done (now it's like 8.6 or something?). I think Taishou Yakyuu Musume will be lower, though, since not many people are watching that :<

I haven't been getting around to see the other summer anime, so I can't really say.

Aug 27, 2009 11:28 AM by guyklc

spice and wolf will definitely be number one!
i would say followed by bakemonogatari depending on how it continues and ends. but until now i can see it giving spice and wolf a run for its money.
i dont see Umineko no Naku Koro ni getting that high on the table... maybe on the top 10 since its one of the better shows this season but i still have to watch it to the end to make up my mind.
personally i have been enjoying tokyo magnitude 8.. puts me more on the edge of my seat than Umineko no Naku Koro ni. eveyr time a quake goes off i grab to of my chair and go under the table :p :) i do hope it will reach the top 5
im definetly feeling dissapointed by cannan tho. i feel like watching it more for obligation than for NEED :P he he.
tho i dont particularly like it i do see Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei getting a high place since its so popular... and allot of people do seem to like it....

on another note i do enjoy hayate no gotaku!! i feel a bit dissapointed it didnt reach top 10.. but its understandable... i guess.

How in the hell did Basquash beat out Cross Game?? >_<

Also, I'm really surprised Higashi no Eden didn't have a higher expectation rating. A lot of American fans certainly had their eye on it...

SAKI. YES.

K-On, was expected, surprised by Eden, I guess even Otakus like more intelligent pieces at times.

Aug 13, 2009 4:53 AM by Sohei

Umineko or Bakemonogatari will end up #1, they are dominated everything else from this season in regards to amount of discussion on 2ch.

Aug 13, 2009 3:25 AM by Westlo

Asura Cryin ? wuttttttttt even 07-ghost was better than that

Aug 13, 2009 2:55 AM by greenmush

Expectations & "Satisfaction" ratings are stereotypical, because all of the shorter series that are finished airing moved up, while all the ones still going (except for saki -- WOOH!) are down in the satisfaction.

Although Hayate was #2 for expectations, BUT it isn't even half way through yet really.

Jul 17, 2009 5:20 PM by Tyranid5

still in disbelief that their 'expectations' for Higashi no Eden would be 23. Complete failure.
