ani.social's top 10 anime (ani.social)

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:

Completely missed this. Judging by the entries, y'all are too young. Get off my lawn. 👵

What are your top 10 anime?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was the original post pinned?

I'm on here often and just found out about it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Nope, it was just a user's post asking for people's top 10 lists rather than one of the weekly discussion posts that get pinned. Lots of good recommendations in there!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I‘m surprised Maomao didn‘t rank higher. It‘s so cool!

Weird to see Death Note that high up. I rewatched it a while ago and I don't think it holds up that well. The memes are great though.

I'm also surprised to see Frieren that high up. I loved the first cour, but the second cour was merely "good" imo. It felt a lot more like a generic action shounen thing. It's also something that's only had a small fraction of its story animated so far.

Apart from that, well, it's clear that I need to take the time to watch 86.

Somehow I've missed this. Anyway, here is my top 10 (not in order):

Ergo Proxy
Nana
Tokyo Mew Mew
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Yuru Yuri
Lucky Star
Ouran High School Host Club
Cowboy Bebop
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Nichijou

Bonus: Death Note, Love Hina, D4 Princess, Blood+, Lovely Complex, Slam Dunk, Someday's Dreamers, Yakitate Japan, You're Under Arrest, Ef (A Tale of Memories & Melodies)

Ok it's hard to make a top 10 list.
