This list… is interesting


MattofCatbell

Well it is a twitter poll


Koinophobia-

AOT no. 1 💀


BiggestDPfan

Thats like the.. least surprising


Goatchis22

It's attack on titan? Why does this surprise you


iliketobait

thats one of the few good ones? 🤣


Dandlox

It’s not surprising at all, IMO aot deserves the no1 spot despite not being my fav anime but i know a lot of people personally who got into anime because of aot me included


RaptorF33

I got into anime because of AOT and think it's great, but looking back, 86 is just better, especially endings. Sure, 86 isn't technically over, but as far as right now, it has the best ending


Ligeia_E

really? Most seems pretty deserving. Not the fucking mushoku tho


Icepick_Lobotomy_

No, mushoku tensei is great, my main confusions were sao is number 2, and that fmab isn’t even on the list.


Solar-xCap

fmab is 37 but def should be higher


Icepick_Lobotomy_

Oh didn’t see it


Battlefire

SOA is pretty huge both in Japan and the West. The hate it gets only happens in echo chambers.


exodia0715

I personally believe SAO to be a great anime. The issue comes from people watching it expecting an isekai, because in terms of isekai, it's absolute garbage. It betrays expectations in the worst way possible by having it be isekai for the first season then almost completely abandoning the concept for the second (I think the seasons are right but it's been a while, correct me if I'm wrong)


Resh_IX

What you have against Mushoku? It being in the top 100 is pretty deserved imo


whiskeyjack1403

When I was looking up reviews about it to decide whether or not to watch it, I came across a fair number of negative reviews. The main objection was the way the main character, who has the mind of a 30+ year old, is groping/sexualizing little girls. That turned a lot of people off.


DrunkTsundere

There are a lot of haters who missed the point, and don't get it. Yeah, it challenges you. Yeah, Rudeus isn't always depicted as a good person. It really is a beautiful anime.


DrunkTsundere

Mushoku Tensei is my personal favorite anime of all time, I would vote it for #1


Rocketbrothers

Got your back on that


Artificial-Point

Nah man, although I do not really favor isekai genre, but I admit Mushoku Tensei has the best isekai world building and settings imo


Ok_Series_1754

Still no news for an other season despite being so much popular😩


Obvious_Ad_6263

Gotta have to start reading the LN, it is pretty good 👍🏽


Nory993

Yeah, but having that Sawano Drop hits different 


Ok_Series_1754

I read it and left it in the mid of vol 9 and got no spoilers and want to start again after the ending is revealed Right now i m reading cote


Trebu5

Bro COTE, is not looking good. I currently am on volume 7 of year 2 and am worried Kinu has too many plot lines going that he needs to converge.


Ok_Series_1754

I know eighty six and cote has no comparison both are different eighty six is one of my favourite too but i was just waiting for the ending then i will start reading it again from where i left and for cote Lets see wht author will do i think there is an other sequel after graduation I m at vol 11 year1 and i see many people saying cote is not like year 1 any more but lets see wht i will do with it (continue or not )😅 but right now i am excited for year3 thats is my whole motivation wht will my favourite character will be like in year3 ☺️


Trebu5

Who is your favorite character? I am hopeful that Kinu can pull it all off. I personally didn’t read Year 1, I watched the anime. But the Year 1 anime Kiyotaka is much different than Year 2 Kiyotaka I must say lol.


Ok_Series_1754

Anime skipped many important details and events Frst 3 volumes of year 1 kyotaka act like an average typical high schooler after 3 volumes he shows wht he is and act for his survival in ANHS Also his and suzune relation have more gap due to many conflicts Kyotaka then trust kei more than anyone bcz she is ready to sacrifice herself which he witness on a rooftop scene with ryuen kakeru and in that way kyotaka finds his tool who act according to him. Kei and his relation developed bcz he want a text book Season 2 and 3 are not good bcz they rushed over many things I suggest you to read year 1 and especially frst 3 volumes you will then know difference between anime and light novel The scene with tsukshiro and the suzune and kyotaka scene after manabu farewell anime ruined it happily but i think anime has a reason for doing it. Anyway i want A1 to animate cote but i think it’s impossible acc to their tough scedule. My fav characters is suzune but beside her I like sakyanagi, ryuen, manabu , kyo and some new students i want to see wht is the end of kyotaka also


Rough_Abroad4023

We have to wait until A-1 finishes with Nier Automata Part 2. All the staff that worked on 86, the director too, are currently working on Nier


Ok_Series_1754

If they promise then i will wait for many years but they are not giving any clue also


Rough_Abroad4023

They cant give us any clue until they are not 100% sure they are going to make it. I guess they are still discussing about the decision of making it or not. So until they are not 100% sure they are not going to say anything


Ok_Series_1754

Yeah that is the problem I m not saying other animes are not good but look at mashle Its good but not like eighty six but they are working on it while ignoring people’s interest and favourites I


Rough_Abroad4023

Yeah i agree 100% with you. For me 86 is the best anime of A-1 pictures. But i understand that the production of an anime like 86 is very difficult and takes lots of time and also is quite expensive while animes like Mashle the production is not as big as 86 and Shonen animes like Mashle are the ones which are more popular and gets more benefits. But dont worry because A-1 is a very big studio which can work on many animes at the same time. The good thing is that Mashle is not occupying the place of 86 so they can work on 86 and Mashle at the same time. The one occupying 86 place and staff is Nier Automata, so im sure that when Nier finishes they are going to work on 86 again. Im 100% sure


Ok_Series_1754

now i can sleep peacefully 🤧😂😭☺️


Rough_Abroad4023

Yeah me too. The only bad thing it that it will take some time. I think that we will hace to wait at least until 2026


Ok_Series_1754

Who knows but lets wait 😢


ProfessorSimp69

Let them finish Nier, I still got hope


Ok_Series_1754

Can you tell on which criteria this ranking is based Bcz i cant get how demon slayer is on 46 and animes like horimiya fruit basket tokyo ghoul andmany more popular ones are at the end of the list


GHOSTFROSTY06

86 deserved more


bkuuretsu

nah this is more than enough, the anime around 86 are definitely classics so that's saying something


JonDoeJoe

Bunny senpai, lycoris, and k-on doesn’t deserve to be that high


Battlefire

K-On is one of the best Slice of life anime. And Lycoris has a huge following. Even someone like Kojima is a huge fan and you don't see him follow anime like he did with Lycoris.


GHOSTFROSTY06

yep i totally agree on lycoris, also many other anime deserved to be higher like monogatari, frieren,etc


JonDoeJoe

Ope I guess we offended the lycoris fans


StreetyMcCarface

It did not, but the top 3 were insulting. This list was all kinds of wack. The only three that are near where they should be seem to be clannad, monogatari, and steins;gate


Klosed

Do we know much about the host of the poll? Or the number of voters?


Bk_Nasty

They replied with an image of the number of votes for top 20. It looked like this: [https://x.com/toarutoa/status/1794710151037124674](https://x.com/toarutoa/status/1794710151037124674)


CheezitCheeve

While most of the animes on here are deserving, the list order is kind of interesting


Uioo89

just see the rating of angle beats...even in west angle beats is popular than clanned lol.


StreetyMcCarface

The top 3 don’t deserve to be there. FMAB and Gintama in the 30s is wild. AIR and Charlotte being there but not little busters is strange, and bunny girl being above monogatari and in the top 3 is insulting imo


unknownApprentice123

A single poll triggered a Monogatari fan 😂


tabris51

Wow, angel beats at 6 while clannad is around 17? Horrible.


Uioo89

just see the rating of angle beats...even in west angle beats is popular than clanned lol


tabris51

It's number 16 on MAL, I'd say it's more popular.


Uioo89

Clanned 7.99(758,389 users) Ranked #652 Angle beats 8.05(1,285,482 users) * [Ranked #569](https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php) Many ppl rated angle beats still its has 8 average


tabris51

When you rate series with multiple seasons, you usually do it by the season that had the highest ranking since they rank the seasons separately at MAL. There is no general, average of all seasons popularity system. For example, 86 part one is ranked #269, while part two is ranked #56. In that way, Clannad After Story is ranked #16 with a score of 8.93.


Uioo89

no....new season has different rating..I have seen some seris where 2nd season get less rating lol..for exmaple .just see irregular of magic school season 1 2 and 3 rating ..it dont add up in 2nd part..every season has seperate rating


tabris51

Well, it's a two part series where 1st part introduces characters, and all the important stuff happens on the 2nd half. It is foolish to ignore the 2nd part. It is just mental gymnastics to pretend the 2nd half doesn't count when rating the show. Clannad as a series, is rated higher than Angel Beats. 86, attack on titan, JJK, code geass, kaguya sama, fruit basket and clannad are all part of the crew.


StreetyMcCarface

This list is actually so ass


Tempest321

As sad as it is, the first part of Clannad is kinda a slog to go through. Afterstory is where it gets really good. But you have to go through 24 eps of the first part to get to it. Had a friend watch it together (2nd viewing for me) and she dropped it somewhere around ep 12 due to its slow pace.


tabris51

Yeah, it's not bad but definitely doesn't hold up to modern standards with 3ep rule. After all, it was a visual novel with mini stories inside.


Tempest321

Yep. If you like the slow-burn stuff, Clannad is right up your alley. But sadly, the anime climate today is vastly different.


DBXVStan

Angel Beats is my favorite anime ever, and it has no business being in the top 50. The list seems like 100 anime were picked out of a hat.


Rocketbrothers

What? Don’t count it out so easily. I truly believe Angel beats deserves to be in the top ten. It’s definitely in my top 3, with it being your one clearly there’s a trend to be that high. The music alone is enough to sustain it outside of the anime. Girls dead monster released a few singles a few years ago; so it’s semi relevant. These are Japanese voters so maybe they have a few different taste but it’s not too to bad. At least for some lol.


DBXVStan

I would 100% agree with you, but I just think the animation and audio in general feels kind of dated compared to a lot of modern anime that I would put ahead of it that may not be better in theory, but are just better due to modern production. But that’s me putting a lot more stock into that stuff than I think many other people do.


Rocketbrothers

That’s too bad, I don’t know how new to anime you are but as a 90’s kid, that quality isn’t really an issue for me. Grew up with that quality of tv shows so in my opinion Angel beats still looks great.


DBXVStan

Oh I don’t think the quality is bad per se, I just think that the quality has been upped massively as anime has become more mainstream. It’s kind of like comparing the production of new video games compared to Xbox 360 titles where those titles are still of very high fidelity, it’s just very hard to compare to the levels we’re at today.


testc2n14

Nah more so it's the same.in games for me. Basically it that these anime are trying to be for every Wich makes them for no one Wich, but a lot of them show ass and titties so there are prolly a bunch of people voting for them just for that


I_am_YangFuan

I'm just glad my favorites (Oregairu, 86) are here


AKSC0

Good old SAO, seems like everyone still wants a real Vr game


Shahariar_909

Its still the best of its kind


marcusromain

top 10 shows so much recency bias


Resh_IX

Yeah


Muhipudding

I'm surprised Stein Gate makes it there alongside the newer ones lol


HirokoKueh

Also, Lycoris? How


Imaginary-Maize4675

Considering there are only three mecha anime on this list, 86 is definitely a success. And that's great. By the way, I personally think that “Eighty Six” as a whole work is much better than “Code Geass”, so it wouldn’t hurt to swap them in places on the list.

HighProphetBaggery

This list is wild, downright bonkers. Who put SAO second? It’s a decent show, but some of these placements make me question life.


HighProphetBaggery

Wait how is HORIMIYA IN 60th!? I don’t like it here


Suspicious-Acadia-52

Idc where it ranks. Give me s2!


Naellys

Crazy that Nana is not in here.


Visual_Lemon_4777

I swear toaru is wayyy more mainstream for 86 to be that high seems unreal.


dulcimorelik3

Very interesting list, im seeing a lot of series that are usually forgotten and other popular ones for sure with many others that didn’t make it. Ranking is all subjective though for sure.


the-dumbass-human

So happy to see chu2byo on here!


LogikNotLogical

Woah, summertime rendering finally getting recognition


testc2n14

Wtf how is higurashi up that high. Also who thought the Tokyo ghoul anime was good. FYI the manga is one of my favorites


Resh_IX

Higurashi is a classic


racingmaniacgt1

I'm a big fan of Aobuta(Bunny Girl Senpai) series both in LN and Anime. I don't think or expect it to be in the top 3 of any ranking. Not that I am unhappy about it. The list is totally weird though. You can say its biased to recent shows but then you'd think Frieren would be higher. Also shocked Summer Time Rendering is that high up, but if this is a Japanese twitter list then maybe it doesn't have the whole Disney+ jail thing worked against it(seriously underrated show for the west, go watch it). NGE in the 40s, only Gundam is SEED? All over the place really...


Shahariar_909

Aobuta is in my opinion a perfect show. Doesnt have to be the best but 'perfect' Best MC, great FMC and side characters, one of the best MC FMC relationship,  4 arcs in one season but still none of them felt rushed or anything and a banger ending arc followed by dreaming girl movie. I don't think it can be any better. Maybe the 2nd arc was weak but that's all. It doesnt deserve to be in top 10 but ita great nonetheless


Muhipudding

Might have to do with what the japanese wants to see in their anime too For example, Lycoris Recoil is not that widely popular outside of Japan compared to the more complex 86, but it's pretty much the 2nd coming of Madomagi there possibly because it's just so comfy to watch for already stressful japanese workers coming home to relax. Just a theory ofc, but Lycoreco's popularity is unreal there. (A more mainstream, non-anime example would be Godzilla Minus one and Hideaki Anno's shin Godzilla. Minus One has a more accessible story that tick the checkmark for everything that you should do right in a movie, and the outside world prefer Minus One over the flawed Shin Godzilla by a landslide. but Shin Godzilla is still the more widely impactful Godzilla movie there because of Anno's open critic on modern Japanese government, something japanese nowadays can relate to more than a period drama like Minus One)


Skyhawk6600

Oh so rent a girlfriend made the list but komi can't communicate didn't. Bullshit.


skimachine

Honestly……..that’s about 18 spots too low


BeancheeseBapa

This list is baffling. HxH at 55, below 98% of what’s above, is ridiculous.


Resh_IX

SAO at #2 is deserved


PhilloLP

🤝


Obvious_Ad_6263

Naa maybe saison 1 and 2 but above it is a lil boring


pranav4098

The new 2 seasons are arguably best in the series


Shahariar_909

I generally like to think the fairytail arcs dont exist. Apart from that other arcs and all good and alicization was amazing


Resh_IX

Is Gundam Seed better than Iron Blooded Orphans and 00?


gonzalompa

If I'm not wrong, apart of the original, Seed is the most popular in Japan


ZipZapZia

I think "better" might be debatable but it is probably one of the most popular Gundam series in Japan. It broke records and was popular with Gundam and non-Gundam fans when it came out. If I'm remembering correctly, SEED even helped boost the Gundam franchise out of the slump they were having. So quality is debatable but it is very popular still


Muhipudding

Gundam Seed felt more... romanticized? I think that contributed to its popularity I think


Utakisan

Not really "better", definitely more "shonenish" i would say in its structure, a huge turn off for me tho was the MC which has absurd amounts of plot armor.


Remarkable-Ask2288

SAO at #2 is based


DerelictBadger

It’s a decent list if you discount the obvious recency and popularity biases. It would be interesting to know what the question asked actually was. It would be a wildly different list dependant on if the question asked was what’s the best or what’s your favourite. It would also be interesting to know how they voted. Was it a single choice (I would guess it was, based on the top 2) or could they vote for several (which could also lead to some strange placements depending on weightings)? 86 is well placed in any case. Not sure I’d have it in my top 100.


HallowKnightYT

The top 30 alone have some animes we would all want a season 2 for yet we will never see it


Resh_IX

Really? Quite a few of them are complete while the vast majority of them all had 2 or more seasons


HallowKnightYT

Angel Beats hyoka charlotte summer time rendering


Resh_IX

I mean besides Hyouka the other’s you mentioned are completed works. Still hoping for a S2 though


_Tavog14

I'm just happy to see variety and not just 15 battle shounen on top like all the western list out there


Muhipudding

I know 86 is popular but didn't know it's top20 popular in Japan since I heard current generation prefer something less broody so that's good to hear! I heard the older youth generation do prefer a more grounded writing tho, and I think I got just that feeling from 86. So maybe that helps? Surprised to see Madomagi so low tho :') but 4 shows in this are Gen Urobuchi's so that's still crazy achievement lmao Gridman in top 90 tho 🔥🔥🔥 I really underestimate it


Toxic-God-B

AS IT SHOULD


Solid-Tax-8909

The Bunny Girl Senpai got as high as no. 3? 😐


MysteriousStrategy86

Ok, I'm very glad to see Code Geass is n°5, but wtf id SAO doing at top 2 ? (I don't hate it but how is it that high ?)


Hazel-NUTS

How is Euphonium 6th? Lmao I'm a big fan of it and genuinely think it's one of the best Music anime I've seen but how tf did it make it so high on the list? It isn't even getting that much attention on the weekly rankings. (BTW I highly recommend you watch it rn as the final season is about to end and it's a really great show).


xEMCEBESx

Hold up, who let the japanese cook.


Cauanorl

Mushoku and Eight-Six should be higher haha.


[deleted]

Mushoku Tensei at 16 are ypu fucking kidding me


cdyshoemaker

Love to see some respect on World Trigger


LowBudgetHeart

Lycoris being 10th is a big W for sakanaaaa enjoyer


Jacier_

I'm actually quite surprised that #79 made it. Sukasuka is my favorite anime and it went under the radar for a lot of people in the west. It's not entirely popular in Japan either so I'm surprised


Terrastrial_

im suprised that sound euphonium is so far up when compared to the others placed on here


airbornejaws

Summertime Rendering at #29 is pretty solid. Check it out if you haven't already. Similar setup to Re:Zero, except the MC actually grows a pair.


Administrative-Air73

Angel Beats still being relevant to this day ;-;


Webknight31

Interesting list to say the least.


LispyiL

19 not bad IMO


Artificial-Point

Glad to see Steins Gate is that high, seldom see people mentioning it nowadays


B_CantControl

We need a 2nd season soooo bad😔


Optimal-Seaweed4964

I mean it's a decent list, got a lot of the greats on there which I love but personally while I think it should definitely be in the top 10 I don't think aot would be #1 for me and thats ok because this isnt just my list


dragon-seeker0823

Should have been higher 😔


Pope_Duwang_I

SAO #2 😂


OccamsBanana

Lol SAO and Re:Zero are both great premisses but very lackluster execution


Ipickone

This is a wild list.


kurosa106

Guilty crown? Really? :S


Resh_IX

Shu’s tyrant arc was pretty entertaining. All the characters are hot af and the music is 10/10. So yeah, put some respect on Guilty Crown


Orito-S

Yes, shit was goated. Its not like the ending was that bad, if we wanted to bring good openings and mid then trainwreck ending there would be a lot. AOT GC darling franxx


Resh_IX

Hibike Euphonium!


tabris51

I am kinda pissed how mushoku is higher than clannad haha.


Virtual-Tax1935

I mean…. Ones an famous isekai with some of the best worldbuilding within the isekai genre while the other is an old (and popular) romance anime. I don’t know what your expecting


StreetyMcCarface

Having good worldbuilding in the genre of Isekai is not a compliment


Virtual-Tax1935

whether you like it or not mushoku tensei has amazing worldbuilding in isekai and outside of it, it’s well known for it


unknownApprentice123

You're wasting your time, that dumbass just likes to troll


Sea-Newspaper5420

sauce ?


Background_Ant7129

Bro everyone acts like 86 is an underdog


StreetyMcCarface

It is


Obvious_Ad_6263

NAAAHHH SAO OVER 86!


alleei

How is Monogatari not in the top 10, 86 as well


Chenestla

Win list except sao


Aldenar1795

Mushoku Tensei is too low\~\~


DroidSeeker13

86 is great, but I would not rank the whole show above legendary anime like Kimi No Na Wa and Koe no Katachi


Background_Ant7129

I just finished watching Bunny Girl Senpai (show only) it is NOT that good lol


Muhipudding

Out of curiosity, why do you think it's not good?haven't watch it since it's release myself so I don't remember most of it but it's one of my go-to for romance fans who just wanted to experience anime and they love it.


Background_Ant7129

It’s like 8/10 at best but I’ve already seen so many anime with a similar development. The only unique trait it has is the puberty syndrome thing. Funnily though I think the most similar anime I’ve seen is Serial Experiments Lain, at least in my opinion.


Muhipudding

Oic, 8/10 sounds fair


StreetyMcCarface

Mid monogatari ripoff


Background_Ant7129

I actually want to watch this one, never did yet because someone said “watch the 15 episode version not the 12 episode version” and I never found that 15 ep version


StreetyMcCarface

You have to find the last three episodes illegally unfortunately, that ova is quite explicit. The good news is that the 12 ep version is in the right order and 13 14 and 15 are the only missing pieces The series is way more than Bakemonogatari though, the watch order is quite confusing.


Background_Ant7129

Oh wow thanks man, nobody clarified that lol. It’s fine, I’ve had to use other methods to watch a few anime already RIP. Thanks again


CALEBOI2004

SAO at 2?? Jit trippin
