I wish they would conduct the survey again, since the rankings are so many years old now. I didn't even bother to vote last time because it was too much of a hassle, but I'd like to vote next time.

But if I may be honest, this ranking looks like someone has a personal problem with me.

If we conclude Love Live as a single series it still not a great list but still way better than NHK overall lis though also MAL to. For female votes Tiger Bunny dominate the top 3.
Tiger Bunny Rising doesn't even show up on the top 100 list of males and ends up getting 2nd overal lol
Idk why there's a lot more females that participate than the males even though it would be the opposite on the rest of the world?
I'm glad that Madoka Magica is #1 ☺️ (Rebellion should be in top 10 though)

Some great animes isn't there or low in rank.
Some weird animes is on top.
And some I was surprised they are even there.
Maybe that's the purpose of it,
to shock us :) :)
