INTEREST: Poll: Biglobe's Most Popular Winter 2011 Anime

Although I am surprised that Wandering Son and Fractale got like 2 digit ranks.

And what a lot of the shows this season didn't have but IS had was a real plot.

Noitamina shows. I think that's all I have to say about that.

Dunno about that. That new one (Ano hi something) has the potential to be more heart wrecking than Madoka. At least for me it's guaranteed, but I'll wait and watch before judging it on raw quality grounds.

To a certain degree, I should not really be surprised that moe shows beat more mainstream shows such as Bakuman and Beelzebub. After all, none of those shows contain fanservice and have only a small handful of female characters.

Oniichan no whatever isn't a moe show. It's comedy, and incest, flavored with loli.

the poll looks right. it's similar to what people like on alot of online anime forums. yeah IS is very popular based on number of posts on IS topic. Nobody discusses Bakuman, Star Driver ... just say.

Bakuman and Star Driver both have 20+ eps, but IS and Madoka Magic have more longer threadsthan them.

The blu-ray sale will tell you the true story later.

5 Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? 151
6 Star Driver Kagayaki no Takuto 150

8 Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!! 125
9 Bakuman. 124

11 Dragon Crisis! 101
13 Freezing 95

Kore wa Zobie Desuka? 1,055+*2,899=*3,954 (Studio Deen) -- vol.1 DVD+BD
STAR DRIVER: Kagayaki no Takuto *4,097+*7,300=11,397 (3+) (Bones) -- vol.1-3 DVD+BD

Onii-chan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Sukijanaindakarane (ZEXCS)
-- 2011/03/09 *3,141 Vol. 1 (One episode, lol) -- vol.1 BD
Bakuman. *1,032+***515=*1,547 (3+) (J.C.Staff) -- vol.1-3 DVD+BD

Dragon Crisis! ***582 (2+) (Studio Deen) -- vol.1-2 BD
Freezing *2,062+*4,180=*6,242 (ACGT/FUNimation) -- vol.1 DVD+BD

The thing is that with anime because of the nature of the business where seeing massive sales on certain anime while the rest try to survive on the slim pickings that remain.

Hear, hear! ...Huh, it seems like I said something like this in another thread. Oh yeah, I did.

The only new show that I've been bothered to watch past the first 2-3 episodes from this past season is Madoka. And considering how probably no series since... what, Wolf's Rain? Fullmetal Alchemist? Eureka Seven? Here and Now, Then or There? (actually saw that after E7.) Whatever it was, it has seriously been a while since I've been so genuinely moved or excited by a series... great to see its popularity continuously reinforced.

Not to count one's chickens before the eggs for them are even laid, but I'm really curious as to what an English voice-cast would be like for this. (sure hope there will be an English cast for this, whoever licenses this.) The last time that I personally saw a well-acted drama show whose cast is almost literally all young girls (and an extremely small cast at that), was, I think, Haibane Renmei... I have a very narrow idea about the good remaining VAs nowadays, especially female VAs. Thus, the only relatively new(?) female VA I can think of now is Maxey Whitehead...

EDIT: Oh yeah, Angel Beats actually did genuinely move me as well... that actually, physically made me cry more than once, heh. And then there's Elfen Lied that might've impacted me some years back, too...

Guys, guys, as the articles states, self-selected respondents made the survey.

there wasn't enough to exploit in the shows, hardcore otaku don't like a serious tone with their lolis or traps and they blew it off.

You don't really need to rationalize with sales in Japan. If there are cute girls (preferably very young) with a decent story and good writing or just enough fanservice by a popular otaku studio, it's pretty much guaranteed sales. Otherwise how would you apply that theory to Madoka Magica?

I am not a 100% on this though and hell i know this is a rumour but there is talk of doing a spin off to magical madako with no killing or horror since a lot fans complained about it, but that's all it is though a rumor.
