Ooh, School-Live managed to stay two weeks in the top, no other series was able to do that. Chaos Dragon on the other hand managed to go up somehow in the final episode, which is kind of cute.

I know Gangsta really shit the bed in ep 11, but how was that worse than Chaos Dragon's terrible finale? Sometimes I don't understand how people rate these things

LOL. When God Eater misses an episode it goes up in rank. When it gets an episode it goes down in rank. Really highlights the quality of the show, or rather, the lack of it.

I didn't know Naruto had fallen so low in popularity. Wasn't the Naruto movie that previously released one of the most popular movie releases in Japan. I am confused.

This is just based on episode ratings by the ANN community.


Man, well at least somebody likes Insight. I have felt very alone among my friends this season... all 2 of them that actually watched Gatchaman Crowds... Sad

Long (and continuing) filler arc is the answer. The series itself is not unpopular but long filler arcs in the middle of the action is not appreciated.

Why is Naruto in a filler arc when the manga's been over for almost a year? Seems like a strange thing to do

More like expanding on dream worlds that took up like a page or panel. I guess they want to milk it for what it's worth, though it seems people aren't very pleased with it.

Guys, what's with all the hates on Prison School? I swear, it is the anime where the reviewer score and the users' score are most diverse.

Not really. I just checked the reviewer grades vs. the user scores, and while the two aren't perfectly in sync, they are usually at least within the ballpark of each other.

People were probably so excited that the abomination by the name Chaos Dragon finally ended, they started clicking on the rating randomly.

I guess I need better reading comprehension. I thought that the ratings were based on Japanese viewership rather than ANN user ratings.

Even so, I'm surprised at some of the shows remaining in the top. With me not following anime popularity as much as I used to I had no idea how much series popularity had changed among users.

I just don't understand how a random show could take 1st place away from epic series that have been building up for over the past decade, like one peice,naruto, gintama, Ushio and tora, ect.....school live Very Happy
Seriously did not even know what that was until a few days ago. And even if these rankings were for the season I still can't belive how all my favorite shows were betten...really irritating.
(NOT COUNTING THE SPRING LINE UP)
This is how the real rankings should go.
1:one peice
2:gintama
3:naruto
4:Ushio and tora
5: rokka the six braves thing
6:overlord
Everything down under (these are just rankings for the season)

Do user reviews have to be submitted within a certain window to factor into this data? I only ask because Show X sometimes ranks higher than Show Y despite that week's episode having a lower community rating.
