This is why these Biglobe polls shouldn't be taken too seriously: not only are the number of respondents so comparatively small to the general anime viewing audience, let alone the public at large, that it doesn't warrant an even slightly accurate depiction of what most fans think, but the respondents can vote more than once!

This is the antithesis of a democratic voting system. Oh, well. Mine's are...

Kids on the Slope
Mysterious Girlfriend X
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
Fate/Zero 2

Those fans tastes suck, IMO.

Honestly it looks pretty accurate to me if you compare it to the sales numbers. All of the top 7 except for the soccer anime were also the top sellers of the Spring season (though not in the same order). The only somewhat significant seller not near the top is AKB048, but that was made more for idol fans than anime fans.

Strangely the 4 shows I watched are ranked in the exact same order when compared to the poll.

1. Nyarko-san
2. Kore wa Zombie Season 2
3. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
4. Mysterious Girlfriend X

lol, your opinion is not better than other opinions. Kids On Slope and Mysterious Girlfriend X are you kidding me?

This kind of poll is not as bad as you think. Go compare the sales and the top 5.

I suppose Leiji Matsumoto is a thing of the past.

Of the top ten, I've watched exactly one of them. Certainly wasn't expecting that.

I suppose you could just say that Ozma wasn't good.

I guess you could say that it aired on WOWOW satellite channel,who is quite an expensive channel to watch.

Hmm, kinda suprised to see the two sports shows as high as they are. It would be interesting if there was an age/gender demographic to go along with these numbers.

Why am I not seeing a single discussion on Hyouka? Hyouka is literally the best slice of life and mystery shows I watched in such a long time. Its really realistic with the way it portrays human emotion (like jealousy) and the mystery elements keep me wanting to watch more. Hyouka really should deserve more love in the west, perhaps have a website simulcast it if it isn't already. Hyouka really is a no brainer when it comes to choosing anime to watch, that's clearly shown in the result of the survey shown in this article.

At least here, that'd probably be because Hyouka wasn't spotlighted, previewed or officially streamed. That means a ton of people here have had little awareness of it.

When it becomes clear that my taste is going in the opposite direction. Not that I ever agreed with these polls much.
