Intermediary Results are In for NHK's Best 100 Anime Ranking

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

NHK updated the results of its ongoing online poll of the 100 best anime of all time. The TV station is holding the poll to honor the medium's 100th anniversary. The TV program announcing the results is a long way away — May 3 — but the poll closes on March 31. NHK has released the intermediary results to check in again with fans on the status of their favorite shows. There has been some shifting, so while Tiger & Bunny maintains its top spot, Cardcaptor Sakura was uprooted from second place by its magical girl successor, Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

  1. TIGER & BUNNY
  2. PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA
  3. MR. OSOMATSU
  4. Cardcaptor Sakura
  5. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
  6. Love Live! (Season 1)
  7. Gintama
  8. Joker Game
  9. Love Live! (Season 2)
  10. Tiger & Bunny The Movie -The Rising-
  11. Neon Genesis Evangelion
  12. Love Live! The School Idol Movie
  13. Legend of the Galactic Heroes
  14. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
  15. Mobile Suit Gundam
  16. Is the order a rabbit?
  17. Tiger & Bunny the Movie: The Beginning
  18. Case Closed
  19. Digimon Adventure
  20. PSYCHO-PASS

Anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena, Haikyu!!, and Attack on Titan have all dropped out of the top 20 while the two Tiger & Bunny films, and Digimon Adventure rose up to take their places.

Meanwhile, voting for the best anime songs of all time finished on February 10. The results were announced on February 18 in a TV special, Countdown Live: Anison Best 100!. BS Premium aired another related program on February 8 called Creator-tachi no DNA ~Nippon Anime 100-nen Shi~ ("The DNA of Creators ~100 Years of Anime~"). This focused on prominent creators of anime like Tatsuyuki Nagai (A Certain Scientific Railgun), Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), Hiroshi Sasagawa (Time Bokan), Gisaburō Sugii (Night on the Galactic Railroad), Yoshiyuki Tomino (Mobile Suit Gundam) and Kazuya Tsurumaki (the Evangelion movies); they explained anime history and why anime appeals to so much of the world. Sayuri Matsumura of Nogizaka46 hosted the special.

If you're incensed by your favorite anime's conspicuous absence in the top 20, you can vote here (Japanese only). Note that only three votes can be cast per day, and the same anime can't be chosen twice.
