A detailed and well-written story with many interesting characters. On the whole, it achieved a great level of accomplishment. (Expected ranking: #8)

Did anyone had a doubt? This show has become such a success that I saw this coming the moment I read the article. What’s surprising is that the expected ranking was #7.

  1. Never realised Saki was that popular. 0_o

    Makes me think if it was a mistake to drop it in the end. -_-

  2. It’s not surprising that K-ON came in #1, but FMA Brotherhood is probably more deserving to be #1 than K-ON, that’s just my two cents. ^^
    I love both of them, and they’re the only ones I’ve been following during spring.

    I only watched the first episode myself. Time for some catching up~

    @T.I.P

    During the time the survey was taken, FMA Brotherhood was more or less the same as the original series. That probably caused its ranking to drop.

    It was expected to be #1 though.
