| lol K-ON. If Spice and Wolf II is anything like the first season, I can understand it's position on the expectation list. And I'm hoping Bakemonogatari will live up to it's expectation. |
| I'm happy for Higashi no Eden. It definitely beat out the expectations for it! I also have high hopes for Aoi Hana, even though it's not on the list. |
| I'm glad Eden succeeded and showed them how wrong their prediction was. Surprised Valkyria is in the top 10 considering how different it is from the game. Not that that's a bad thing necessarily, but it seems people, at least on mal, are pretty upset by it. Quite surprised Asura Cryin' got that high considering how bad it is (or so I've heard). The predictions for summer look alright; I'll be interested to see the actual results. I also think Aoi Hana'll be pretty good, but I'm unsure as it's so short. |
| I expected K-ON! and Higashi no Eden to be huge...why is it otaku can't predict things very well...(25 for Higashi no Eden? rly??) Is this proof that otaku would not do well in marketing? lol. |
 |
| K-ON! scored top spot, no surprise. |
 |
| K-ON was a very good surprise, I didn't expect to see Valkyrie Chronicles in the top 10. |
 |
| Well whoever did the predictions in the first place rlly sucks at marketing cause even my predictions were way more accurate than theirs. ^^; All of those anime deserve their spot in the top ten. Except Asura Crying which was a piece of shit imo (and I dunno about Saki didn't watch) Also, sad to see that Ristorante Paradiso was so underrated D: |
     |
| No suprise that K-ON is up there. |
    |
| your joking k-on 1????? saki 3???? asura 9???? 'sigh' at least eden, cross game, fma, valk, and basara were in the top 10 :/ |
| I'm surprised that Saki managed to rank better than FMA:B. Well, I can sort-of understand it. |
| lol K-ON, JUST AS PLANNED KYOANI YOU TROLLS XD Saki's pretty awesome if you can play mahjong... Umineko is pretty disappointing, and Bakemonotari is holy crap Shinbo you're on more drugs than usual. |
| Nice rankings. Better than any American crap rankings |
| Higashi no Eden - gap in satisfaction and expectation is so wide... Black horse proved. |
| I think expectations for summer are ok, but Asura Cryin' better than Cross Game... i don't think so. |
| "In 2009, in a survey asking its respondents "which manga do you think is the most interesting?" in a pool of 6000, Kuso Miso Technique came at 11th, beating popular manga such as Gintama and Detective Conan." Wiki |
Autre said: Higashi no Eden - gap in satisfaction and expectation is so wide... Black horse proved. Indeed |
 |
| Asura Cryin on the 9 thats unfair XD maybe I'll watch Saki |

| Satisfaction is about the same on my list.. as for the expectations, I'm actually much looking forward to Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| Yay for Saki making the top 3. An awesome show, even if they still have time to screw everything up. The 2nd place of Eden is a surprise, I expected it to make the top 10, maybe even a top 5, but not more. Same for Basquash, never thought it would end up in the top 10. Not because both shows are bad, but simply because they both have a pretty specific target audience. Regarding summer expectations, nothing surprising here. The sequels and other shows based on popular works are leading the top, the original shows are at the bottom of the top 10. I predict the shows ranked 4-6 to be in the top 3 of the satisfaction ranking though. Probably even in the same order. |
| I'm not surprised K-On! was first, and I'm glad Higashi no Eden made it to the top as well, but Asura Cryin' at 9th? I was quite disappointed at that show. I'm also pleasantly surprised at Saki making it all the way to 3rd, and also beating FMA. As for the summer season expectations, it's somewhat like what I imagined it would be. I just hope that the shows there really live up to their expectations. |
 |
| Hells yeah basquash! You prove all those non-believers wrong. |
<img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e297/kitsu_ayame/Untitled-6.png" /> |
| Oh? That's a list I can agree with if you take out Dragon Ball and Saki. |
 staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| I expected K-ON! to be #1 even before it started. The very concept of a comedy about girls wanting to play music was something that screamed instant hit for me. After having watched it, I think I seriously underestimated the impact it made on me. Judging by how people ranked it before and after, I think I'm not the only one who thinks that. infinite_zero said: Saki's pretty awesome if you can play mahjong... I can't play mahjong and I still think Saki is awesome. Anyway, I've only seen 3 shows on this list, so I can't really say if any other show is worth the place it got. |

| Higashi no Eden and Cross Game were good surprises for me, same for Basquach. Lol @ K-On moe freaks :3 |
ntHai said: Still, it needs more love :(Cross Game in top10. Nice. |
 |
| hellz yea Spice & Wolf II babe Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei CANAAN |
| I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Honestly. |
| I'm enjoying Valkyria more than I thought I originally would. I like the anime, game, and B's Log manga, all of which offer something unique. I don't want to watch/read the same thing 3 times. I'll probably give Higashi no Eden a spin, since it's done so well. |
| Eeetooo Asura Cryin', Valkyria Chronicles... WTF!?!? Hell no! Awwww, once again popularity wins over quality lol! The "2009 summer expectation ranking" is pretty strong though, very interesting animes in here. And plz watch Umi Monogatari only if you would like to revive some Sailor Moon memories (the anime is crap, seriously.) |

| *2, Umineko no Naku Koro ni Fuck yes. |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| Geijutsuka Art Design Class is number 7 in expectations for summer titles~ |
| Pretty nice list. Except that Asura Cryin' on the list... I thought that show was pretty horrible... |

You, good sirs, have no taste. No taste means different taste from yours. Oh! Thank you for the definition LoL! I take it you love Sailor Moon =) Enjoy! |
| I'm so happy!! Higashi no Eden is 2nd!!!! :D Also, isn't unfair to make bad judgments when there's only one episode? |
Mari-chan said: Also, isn't unfair to make bad judgments when there's only one episode? Two, actually. The first episode was very nice to watch, but the second one was really BAD = drop. Watch it and you'll understand. If you like it then I have no more to say to you: enjoy it as well LoL! |

| K-On!, Higashi no Eden, Valkyria Chronicles and FM:B <3 And OtK II! Just 2 more days... :3 |
| Not surprised at K-ON and Higashi no Eden being first and second. I haven't seen Saki though so I don't know if it's that good. Three shows being place 19, 23, and 24 in the expectation list and now in the top 10 of the satisfaction list means there were some pleasant surprises last season. As for this season, from what I saw I think Canaan will be first. |
| Yeah I think CANAAN will be on th top as well. But don't understimate Bakemonogatari. Shaft productions are always an amusing experience =) |
| Nice Eden got #2 from #23, good stuff =) |
 |
| What about Phantom xD!? |
