Agreed but I can't believe Nichijou tops A Channel (>_<)

-- I'm looking for "The One" and I'll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time. Think you can do better? --
-- The World God Only Knows -- Toaru Majutsu no Index -- Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai --

Watching the top 9 on that list, though it's far from what I expected. (eg. I put Hidan no Aria lower on my expectations list).

I was honestly expecting these to be higher up, considering they are all anime originals. Also surprised not to see Stein;Gate at all.

Why would people look forward to something by J.C.Staff? It will be all the same shit again, cliché and boring as hell.

The Japanese actually have some taste for once? Seriously, I would have expected them to put Astarotte no Omocha over Kaiji and the noitaminA anime after Diomedea's success with Ika-Musume and Kugimiya Rie voicing the main character in it. Yes, there's going to be twice as much Rie for your money this season.

How nice, the most generic thing tops the list.

Also, actually surprised to see C and Kaiji 2 on the list, and not to see Gintama, Toriko and Sket Dance.

If anything, being original lowers an anime's chances to appear on the expectations list, because such shows don't have any existing fanbase.
So it's surprising they even made the top 10, considering the huge number of shows based on already popular sources this season.

I think Astarotte should be on the good side of the shows this season, be it Rie or not Rie. It's better than it looks like. Also, Shinbou is involved.

Funny that Deadman Wonderland isn't on that list, and so low on Biglobe's list that nextday posted. Not moe enough for Japan apparently.

Good to see both Noitamina shows in the top 10. They could use a hit after this season's debacle.

NoitaminA anime never rank especially well in these polls. [C] actually one of the best predictions that a noitaminA anime has ever had in such a poll. Most of them don't even rank, only being bumped up in the post-season satisfaction ranking (like Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, for example)

@seishi-sama:

I didn't mean to imply that Astarotte no Omocha was bad. I might actually watch it myself after how surprisingly good B Gata was last Spring. Besides, I don't think I have ever seen a protagonist who already has a kid (so presumably has already had sex) in this kind of anime before (where the male lead is almost always a virgin), so that alone makes me think that it might be worth watching (and better than Hidan no Aria at least).

I was just surprised that they picked Kaiji and [C] (not so much AnoHana) over it.

Steins;Gate not being up there was the only surprise I had. noitaminA generally gets good expectation values, also the light-novel adaptations especially when Dengeki-voters are involved.

Steins;Gate will still be the best of the season, if staff don't go off track. Thankfully, they will never do original ending according to their staff interviews, but we will see.

I also thought that Gintama would be on this last. But then I thought that since the manga is ahead of the anime and the manga is already out, it is not that anticipated. However, it is for me (lol)

Not watching them all, but glad they are up here, though I'm shocked at 1. I thought noitamina anime (8 & 9) be higher though.

Really. Where the hell is it?

Anyways, its just an expectation which does not affect the actual results at all~ no worries.
But still....where's my Gintama? :@

Hidan no Aria in the 1st place~ WHY?
Spring season surely looks promising.

lol...I think it's probably because of Kugimiya Rie..."tsundere voice" xD

not really a fan of hers though.

A good chunk of my Spring anime is represented save for the large number of ecchi anime. Nichijou>A Channel anyway, it's completely ridiculous and a little unique.

Good to see C in the list, though I'm slightly confused as to why #1 Hidan no Aria has so much high expectations.

No Gintama?
