Grammar error: "appearimg" should be "appearing." You're welcome.

Success does not always imply good quality.

I do like Oreimo and I think it's a quality show. There were a lot of imouto-themed anime that came after Oreimo and failed miserably (Ochinko, Oniai, Nakaimo, etc), but Oreimo stood above the rest because the characters actually had legitimate personalities and went through some serious development. Ayase, Kuroneko, and even Kanako. Even if it was another harem show, the characters felt very true (if that is a legitimate argument).

SAO has been dissected ad nauseum around here so I don't want to say that will initiate yet another pointless and endless thread, but I'm still on the fence on that one. I think it's a quality show, with a stronger first half, and that's about it. Very good. Not as great as some people make it out to be.

Huge LOL Laughing Yea, no wonder things are this bad if people think this is "best".

Oreimo was fun I reckon, but thats it. The other....it was already well said what it is...

And yea popularity =/= quality and vice versa.

To be fair the anime themselves are entirely to blame, but the kind of fans we have today, that give birth to certain endless type of anime season after season after season. Its not killing the industry but it indeed is a cancer that has dragged down anime to such frivolous, superficial state.

Whats considered quality and best has changed drastically, in general, for more experienced-veteran fans for the worst, for the contemporaneity ones, its a golden age apparently.

I found another way to measure if an anime is good or not is to see how many H doujin have been created by writers using it as a template. The less there is the better the product as even the prevs can't force themselves to violate it. Laughing

Those are some of my favorites. SAO was one of my top 3 anime of 2012, and Oreimo was one of my top 5 anime of 2010.

Just what would be a happy ending for Oreimo? Hmmmm..... Wink
Is this going to be one of those games where one gets to pick the "happy ending " that excites them the most?

Madoka must be awful... Though, Chihayafuru needs doujinshi, there's none scanned that I can see. It really tends to just go on what's popular as an anime. A pervy show that seems like an easy target for smut may prove unpopular, and thus no one does doujinshi or even pixiv art for it.

More like the more doujins a series has the better indication of it's quality. Generally that implies the series is interesting enough to hook talented artists towards them.

Josei/Fujoshi-bait shows tends to get pretty much none, at least none that aren't yaoi which appeal to fujoshi. Chihayafuru isn't really that popular so it's no surprise it doesn't have much. Psycho Pass is similar, except it does have doujinshi, it's just that they're 99.9% yaoi stuff because it's a fujoshi show.

Not always. Despite it's popularity One Piece has a relatively low amounts of doujinshi. Granted, relatively low is in the thousands, but compared to much less popular series like Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, and Pretty Cure which have far more doujinshi to their names than One Piece does despite One Piece getting far better ratings and manga sales, it's fairly low all things considered from the most popular series. It all depends which series appeals to both artists and the people who buy doujinshi.
