Pokemon has been doing decently with this new season.

They basically took everything that people complained about with Best Wishes and made it good again, so I'm not surprised Laughing It's sooo much better.

Hmmm, it's been a while since Naruto Shippūden was in the top 10 hasn't it?

Not having Sazae-san (the weekly episode), Doraemon and Shin-chan in the ranking obviously makes things easier. ^^

This is the first Pokémon season I've watched since I was a kid. What were the issues with Best Wishes and what have they changed, out of interest?

Well, for starters, it feels like a much more mature season, both in character design and action. Best Wishes wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be, but it had a really rough start. Mainly I think because the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami meant they had to basically retcon a giant clash between Team Rocket and Team Plasma they had to been building up to for the first 24 episodes.

The writers also gave Ash way too many Pokemon for all of them to get good screen time, and it was also the first season where Ash...

spoiler[regress progress wise in league placement.]

Best Wishes also reused animation so much it really sucked the tension right out of many of the battles.

I'm absolutely thrilled that Pokemon XY is at the upper half of the ranking. Surprised I'm willing to bet this of season of Pokemon will be more exciting than Black and White: Best Wishes.

All the runner up 7 make it this week with 3 of the big dogs not airing.

But don't you think it's boring when only 13 shows ever get on the list?

Big four

Sazae-san
Chibi Maruko-chan
Crayon Shin-chan
Doraemon

Middle Two

Detective Conan
One Piece

Runner up Seven

Animated O-saru no George (Curious George)
Animation Hitsuji no Shaun (Shaun the Sheep)
Pokémon
Precure
Space Brothers
Naruto Shippūden
Toriko

The only way anything else gets in is during the holidays when the top 6 all have breaks.


Also Naruto last got on the list on October 7-13 when shin-chan didn't air.

All weeks the same titles, but Naruto is there only because Sazae San isn't there.

Sometimes Hunter X Hunter showed up in the list, too. I hope it'll happen again before the new anime ends.
