Of course, that probably taint any poll like this. I think Eden of the East is a good example; when it was on air it was quite the darling, much like Kids on the Slope.

Every time I try to edit my post, my browser crashes, so I have to post again to make this clarification.

“I suppose Mononoke is popular, but I didn’t expect it to be more popular than Nodame or Hachikuro for sure.”

It’s highly doubtful that it actually is. With the live action adaptations, million-per-volume-selling manga, three anime seasons, and long0term mainstream sales (noitmainA producer said that total sales were fully 3x what Oricon reported) it’s exceptionally unlikely that a more representative polling sample would have put it lower than #1-2.

Recency bias is also very strong in this poll. Do it again in two years and Sakamichi won’t be in the top 10. Same for Tsuritama.

” the only one that weirds me out with the placement is Library Wars… i had no idea people loved it that much.”
Toshokan Sensou is one of the best selling light novels series around. Vol. 1 of the re-released “small size” edition has moved over 400k copies on top of whatever the initial release sold.

We watched it a lot in my Japanese culture class, and I think for kids who grew up in Japan, they really enjoyed the creative animated portrayal of famous ghost stories.
