What Japan thinks of the new season of anime (Spoiler: Moe wins)

What Japan thinks of the new season of anime (Spoiler: Moe wins) photo


We are always interested in what’s happening over on the other side of the pond, about what shows they are interested and the like. Well, after three episodes from most shows, its now time to figure out which ones are loved more, and which ones are left to those vulture fansubbers. We’ve seen how 2channel performs this popularity contest before, but let me remind you anyways. Basically fans count how many threads that are based on particular series; they add them altogether and rank them thusly.

I’m not going to show you them here, check out the entire list after the jump.


Sequels
Clannad After Story 276
Gundam 00 250
ef - a tale of melodies 46
Rosario to Vampire 2 34
Vampire Knight - Guilty 8
Jigoku Shoujo 3 6
Hokuto no Ken 3
Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter 2

New Shows

Toradora 27
Kannagi 26
To Aru Majustsu no Index 21
Kurogane no Linebarrels 20
Ga-rei Zero 12
Hyakko 10
Tales of the Abyss 10
Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka 8
Shirabane Hime Aka 8
Chaos: Head 7
Kyou no Go no Ni 7
Kemeko Deluxe 6
Mouryou no Hako 6
Kuroshitsuji 4
Skip Beat 4
Tentai Senshi Sun Red 4
Yozakura Quartet 4
Casshern Sins 3
Michiko to Hatchin 3
Tytania 3
Hakushaku to Yousei 2
Inazuma Eleven 2
Kurozuka 2
Macademi Wasshoi 2
One Outs 2
Bihada Ichizoku 1

Man I must be watching the wrong shows, because all the ones I like are on the bottom! We all know the Japanese otaku love the cute, the kawaii, and the moe, so this isn’t much of a surprise; but damn post more about Tytania and Casshern! At least Gundam scored highly this time, though I’d be shocked if it didn’t. This isn’t a scientific study, but I think it somewhat matches what most otaku think. But does it match your opinion Japanator?
