Preamble

A few days back, we got a post asking for everyone's top 10 anime.

I thought it would be fun to aggregate the data and see which are the most popular anime in this instance / community.

Note that I had to clean the data first, which means that there may be mistakes - either through typos or because I interpreted the data wrongly. Feel free to point any errors out.

I also had to make some assumptions and "adjustments" to make it work.

For example, some of us gave their top 10 anime in order - ranked from 1 to 10 - while others gave an unordered list. I had to ignore the ranking. Another significant one is that some of us gave more than 10 anime; I chose to take the first 10 anime in your listings.

There are many more such issues that data science nerds can poke at, but I'm not going to go in-depth as this is just for fun.

Also, I realized that this is essentially a community poll / ranking of top anime of all time using approval voting. The sample size is kind small with only 30 participants though.

Without further ado, here are the aggregate results:
