The only non-anime that made it into the top 100 is Tom & Jerry at 58 (damn! beated Tsubasa by 1 vote ><")

Here is Strawberry's summary of the results;

I can't believe that Fruits Basket or Chobits never made it into the top 100, it is so popular in the UK & USA and basically it never reached the top 100? I guess popularity of Anime must be really different in Japan.

The top 10 shows abit of a surprise. FMA at number 1? I never knew it would be so popular, I can see Elastico getting all exicted & hyper about it. I knew Gundam and Dragon Ball is popular, but never knew that Doremon, Slam Dunk or One Piece will make it to the top 10! bah ~ I don't like Slam Dunk much!

And here is something to piss Faramon off (excluding Anime Angel stealing his phrase). Naruto made it into the top 20! hehe! you hate Naruto right?

Oh, Sailor Moon is at 19 followed by Evangelion at 20. I'm not surprise because thats what I've expected since the popularity of these 2 Anime lives after 10 years. So Anime Angel and Shinji-kun must be right now ^_^

Bleach at no. 27, thats cool, though I wished it reached abit higher.

Here is something to piss all Pokemon haters. It reached no.38 in the poll. hehe! I suppose its mainly the game which made the anime popular.

Damn! I thought Tsubasa was popular then that! Tom and Jerry pisses me off by wining it by 1 vote... damn you! Tsubasa rules and should have at least reached the top 20^^

Ghost in the shell at 69? I was expecting it to reach higher, but I'm not a massive fan, so the Strawberry girl doesn't care much lol.

Oh no!!!! Cardcaptor Sakura, Strawberry's favourite Anime at 87! Damn! I thought it was more popular then that!!!! I'm dissapointed because it didn't reach the top 20.... come on and vote for CCS next time will ya? lol :lol:

Finally some of my other favourites such as Tokyo Mew Mew & Pita Ten never made it, oh well they wasn't popular anyway but it would have been nice to see those Anime in the top 100.


phew! it took me a long time to type and translate

[~*Vampire-Kisha*~]

I watch the top anime! Yay! Go FMA!

[Asianpop_Blasian]

Thanks for sharing this! I'm very glad that FMA actually made it to the top. That anime definitely deserves to be #1,IMO. At least InuYasha made it onto the list,even if it is #48.

[faramon]

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo FMA won b****** SON OF A b**** b****** EVIL DAMN ANIME MUST DIE. and no full metal panics at ALL? MUST QUESTION SOME FORM OF GOD OVER THIS BAD VOTING, and yes whyu did ghost in the shell come so low i love all of the GITS series and film DAMMIT BAD POLL,

BAD
but then again thats just my view.

[Strawberry]

I don't really have anything agaisnt FMA being no.1, although its not my favourite Anime.

faramon
I think its popular over the UK & US too, so there are going to be loadsa people disagreeing with you lol

[faramon]

So let them come ill Hurt em all in more and more intresting ways.

[~*Vampire-Kisha*~]

I barely know any of them. IY, FMA, Naruto, BBBBBBB, and Blah blah blah blah.I know only a few.

[glow=red,2,300][/glow]ooooooooooookkkkkkkkkk

that was ok but try and be funny or something ;)ok

Whaty?

Now I know why Hikaru no Go is up there, cuz it ROCKS!

[~mewmewsakura~]

I was kinda surprised, when I read that, 'cos CCS was at 87, when it's the most popular Shoujo anime in Japan...I guess that means that Shoujo actually isnt very popular...I need to kill Tom and Jerry! I hate it, and it beat Tsubasa Chronicles by ONE VOTE! How the heck a non-anime got into the 100 best anime's, I don't know...I didn't think that Tsubasa was THAT popular, though. I thought that Inuyasha would come higher than that, since it's pretty well known, or at least I thought it was, 'cos its such a long series and everyone on the internet seems to talk about it...
Initial D beat CCS??? Initial D is horrible!!! Oh well, at least tsubasa beat it....but ....WTF?!? DIGIMON BEAT TSUBASA AND CCS? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO???

[bjr]

Chobits is my fave anime besides SM,TMM and CCS.
and fruits basket didnt make it either.
people have no taste these days. lol.

[darking]

naruto is my fave anime an personally i think it shud be in no1 in the top 100...no no 2 in the top 100

[Strawberry]

The results really show the popularity of Anime's in Japan. They differ greatly in other countries mainly because they know more about Anime then us, they have loads of Anime which we never heard of. Anyway there are bound to be some disagreements with us, but thats the Japanese voters anyway, but if they have a worldwide vote then the results will be very different.

I was kinda surprised, when I read that, 'cos CCS was at 87, when it's the most popular Shoujo anime in Japan...

CCS is the best selling shoujo manga in Japan, but I thought Sailor Moon was the most popular Anime shoujo

[neos92]

why isn't Yu-Gi-Oh! there??? yes there are bettere animes but i would have thought that yu-gi-oh was at the very least 40^th. This makes me sad . also i would have thought that naruto would have been in the top 10.

[darking]

oh he's so right
