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. πŸ‘΅

What are your top 10 anime?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Was the original post pinned?

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks 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!

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.

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.

Iβ€˜m surprised Maomao didnβ€˜t rank higher. Itβ€˜s so cool!
