- 1 - sola
- 2 - Lucky Star

- 6 - Gintama
- 7 - Nanoha StrikerS
- 8 - Nanatsuiro Drops
- 9 - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
- 10 - Hidamari Sketch
People who participated in the vote and didn't see their fave anime in the top ten said "I'm extremely disappointed."
My top 10 wouldn't look like that at all. I'd have to think about the order but my list would include Sky Girls, Xenoglossia, Darker than Black, Claymore, Gurren Lagann, Minami-ke - I know I've forgotten some.
Do you agree with the top 10 anime of 2007 that the Japanese voted for? What does your top 10 look like?
OPs for the top three below.

WTF!? Gurren Lagann ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER DAMMIT >O Seriously, I also agree with you. There is no gurren, Darker than black, claymore and minami-ke! I wonder how sola got 1st... stopped at the second episode....
(ID #68055) Posted on 2007/12/28 23:28
NO GURREN LAGANN/MINAMI-KE?!?!?!?! my two favorite anime of the year aren't even MENTIONED?!?!? lucky star was good but wtf #2 and no Gurren or minami-ke?!?!?! BLASPHEMY. minami-ke had broken how many anime watchers that year?? the japanese has disappointed me and thus, i'm in despair..
(ID #194448) Posted on 2008/05/23 10:04
i didn't like darker tha black, but im agree on Tengen Toppa! thats one of the coolest anime of all times! :D i saw all SOLA and it's not so great, looking series of Sola style i prefer School days or True tears that aren't there also.
(ID #281010) Posted on 2008/08/28 02:48
kinda kinda not... umm i agree sorta... Sola makes kind of since... its at its high point of fandom and such i believe... lucky star, shakugan no shana, and well Miname-ke for me
(ID #68056) Posted on 2007/12/28 23:34
Wow, I haven't watched a single one of the Top 10 yet.
(ID #68057) Posted on 2007/12/28 23:44
It is absolute freaking blasphemy that Gurren Lagann isn't anywhere on the list.

Wow, sola, huh? Enjoyed that show but very surprised that it doubled the next -closest anime. Do we know of the criteria for a show to qualify to be eligible for this award? It sounds like they had to end this year, at least, but that doesn't explain the lack of what I thought were powerhouses like Kanon or Gurren Lagann.

Wow, what a horrible list....
Does anybody here on this blog not think that 80's & 90's anime & manga were just WAY better?
I cant believe this is the TOP TEN ! :
* 1 - sola
* 2 - Lucky Star
* 3 - Katei Kyoshi Hitman Reborn
* 4 - Ookiku Furi Kabutte
* 5 - Higurashi
* 6 - Gintama
* 7 - Nanoha StrikerS
* 8 - Nanatsuiro Drops
* 9 - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
* 10 - Hidamari Sketch
What?
"Tekkon Kinkreet" isnt even mentioned !
That has to one of the most visually impressive animes in years...
Check the trailer:

Please tell me there are other out there that would shudder at the thought of watching even 10 minutes of bloody "Sola"....

How the hell did a nothing show like Sola get number 1? Why is Gurren Lagann not on that list at all? Dis poll be nutz.
(ID #68062) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:02
sola! I love that anime as well ^^
(ID #68063) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:04
I'd like to know more about the demographic of the voters that produced these results... there's no way in hell that they're an accurate representation of Japanese fandom as a whole. Something somewhere is skewed.
(ID #68064) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:10
Wow. I completely disagree with the top ten that were chosen. 'Gureen Lagann', and 'Dark Than Black' should've been included among several others. :/ Oh well.
(ID #68065) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:27
I have to agree with Sola, if you watched it to the end, you know why. But I'm actually surprised that made it to the first, AFAIK it's not so popular. Lucky Star was meh for me, because half of the time you were bored watching them talking about nonsense, and then you laughed for 1 minute then another half bored. I didn't saw any other of the series, but I'm planning to watch Zestsubou Sensei some time in the future.

err... not even close sola was less than mediocre (no offense) - I watched ten minutes of it before I said to myself "I've had enough" H-Sketch was too ugly to be put into the top ten list - the characters were disturbingly - err - yeah... This season was actually one of the worst - I did like Denno Coil, though. Oh, have you watched the first episode of Macross Frontier? It's quite entertaining...

hey dude, are you retard, If i would have to watch every 10 fir mins of every anime i would rate them all worst ever or bad. Just don't go and check 10 mins of an anime that u never saw and think you are cool by saying that suck.
(ID #234252) Posted on 2008/07/10 03:32
only three of them would have been in my top ten Gintama Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei Lucky Star

Polls results are not thing to get worked up about. I say that because polls are very inaccurate. Remember it's a top 10 out of 100 titles. That's not much choice. Maybe the list of 100 was not very good. Lucky Star is the only one I would take from that list. I'm not sure I would make it number 2 as well. I would be more likely to go with your selections Danny.

Thta shows how the anime taste change in the different regions of the world. To me, Lucky Star is a pretty nice anime, a comedy anime, but it doesn't change my life about anime and manga. But i respect the opinion of all the poeple that likes it too much for say that is too good. To me, 2 of the better anime of this year are Claymore and Nodame Cantabile. Sadly, they aren't in the list.
(ID #68072) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:51
no DtB? Mononoke? oh well, i cant agree or disagree with a poll. Coz its voted by millions, and result just shows that.
(ID #68073) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:02
@alida : i dont think a 10minutes instant viewing is a good approach to decide the show is awesome or mediocre =__=
(ID #68074) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:05
Completely Agree cause Sola has a nice and unpredictable ending :D the story is kind a nice too :)
(ID #68076) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:09
your right i cant sleep for few nights because of that ending.....
(ID #329105) Posted on 2008/10/10 06:00
completely agree Sola, it's a good anime, best(for me at least) ^^.
(ID #68077) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:17
For me the list would have to include: Gurren Lagann, Darker than Black, Sola, Gintama (near the top somewhere), Claymore, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, and Minami-ke. Couldn't think of an order for them (would probably take hours --;).
(ID #68078) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:39
well 340000/2000000 isn't that great maybe if they would have held like runoff type things (kinda like a tournament) it would have been different i mean thats less than 50% of votes... ofcourse i feel bored now lol
(ID #68079) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:44
WTF? What about School Days? Kodomo No Jikan? Zero No Tsukaima season 2....especially season 2.... I never even heard of Sola until now. I'm glad most of us disagree so far. This seems like an outrage.
(ID #68080) Posted on 2007/12/29 01:50
what?! lucky star is 2nd?! well, LS is for otaku, not many people watch it. while sola is more general
(ID #68081) Posted on 2007/12/29 02:03
I would agree with Lucky Star and Hidamari Sketch, both awesome animes. I think Hayate, Bamboo Blade, Minami-ke, Sky Girls should be on that list.
(ID #68082) Posted on 2007/12/29 02:20
ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
1 - Sola (Haven't watched) 2 - Lucky Star 3 - Katei Kyoshi Hitman Reborn (Haven't watched) 4 - Ookiku Furi Kabutte (Haven't watched) 5 - Higurashi (Haven't watched) 6 - Gintama (Haven't watched) 7 - Nanoha StrikerS (Haven't watched) 8 - Nanatsuiro Drops (Haven't watched) 9 - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Haven't watched) 10 - Hidamari Sketch (Haven't watched) Ridiculous list. It really doesn't represent the best anime of 2007 in my opinion.

Is Gurren Lagann good? I haven´t seen it.

Hmm, looks like Lucky Star got the 2nd spot of the Best 3. (I wish it was 1st) Too bad for Minami-ke.
(ID #68085) Posted on 2007/12/29 02:31
Well, I do like sola and Lucky Star, but first and second places respectively? Oh wow...

That "Top Ten" is like my last 10 of my top 100 Who voted for those again? Very disappointing...
(ID #68089) Posted on 2007/12/29 03:08
Also worth noting Gurren Lagann is #13

LOL Sola who? Never heard of this anime before... Somewhat glad and sad at the same time, didn't see my favourites on the list...
(ID #68091) Posted on 2007/12/29 03:17
sola is 1st? lol, i didn't even think that anime will get into top ten, sola is nice, but it's not the type that will get into top ten, lucky star is second? ridiculous, lucky star is the best!
(ID #68092) Posted on 2007/12/29 03:33
Sola was pretty good, but there are definitely better ones. Sky Girls for example. Eika's too hot not to be in Top Ten =/
(ID #68093) Posted on 2007/12/29 03:34
lolz i watched Sola and I thought it was going to be one of the worst series of the year.... where's kanon and all that? dammit...
(ID #68094) Posted on 2007/12/29 03:39
Wow folks. Cool down from the rage man. This poll represents voters mostly Japanese. They may have different preference from the rest of the world. Example : Even Cowboy Bebop was nothing to them back in the days (in before sh*tstorm :p )

I agree with some of the list- however many of these anime titles are ones I have never heard of- so I can't really give a definite answer. Good to see Higurashi in the list :)

I disagree with that list, the best anime of 2007 was Lucky Star indeed.

i don't know if i could agree with the results 'coz i only have watched only a few 2007 anime ^^;;; I have a lot of 2007 anime that are backlogged in my list and I need watch all of them before I could list my top 10 anime ^^;;;
(ID #68100) Posted on 2007/12/29 05:32
personal fave 1st lucky star 2nd higurashi no naku koro ni kai i dun watch other series ^_^, i watch sola, but its a so so, how can it be number 1 anyway?
(ID #68101) Posted on 2007/12/29 05:45
Secondary Student~
Are CLANNAD, Minami-ke and Shana II counted as 2007 anime? o.O Actually Sola wasn't that bad, the ending is really a twist. But, I'm not very fond of it either. People, you've to go find out more anime on your own =.=; don't just depend on a certain source, you might be missing something.
(ID #68102) Posted on 2007/12/29 05:46
yeah, whatever happened to code geass, death note, minami-ke, shana-chan??
(ID #68104) Posted on 2007/12/29 06:10
I have to say the list blows. Can't comment on Sola since I have never seen it. But Hitman Reborn got on the list? What the heck? I like the manga, but the anime adaption just pales in comparison.
(ID #68105) Posted on 2007/12/29 06:33
I agree up to the hitman reborn one. Sola is indeed one of the greatest animes ever, though I think Higurashi should be higher up
(ID #68106) Posted on 2007/12/29 06:39
Wow, didn't know sola was so popular. Not that I'm complaining, I thought it was awesome, very possibly in my top 3 this year, but I never expected it.

2007 was a manga year for me. I almost didn't watch new animes... as for the mangas, they weren't new too. But I read more than watched. The only two I watched some episodes on the list was Lucky Star and Higurashi. Lucky Star is on my top list... Higurashi... well, not that much. Minami-ke and some others are on my watchlist... but if it is anywhere close to the manga, I'd probably add on the top list also.
(ID #68108) Posted on 2007/12/29 07:38
IT, Programmer, ...
I'd certainly put Claymore, Minami-ke and Sky Girls in my top 10 too. And where's Death Note?? At least Lucky Star is second ;p Hmm, sola, maybe I should watch it, I think I have it lying around somewhere. Still got so much to see... And except for Hidamari Sketch, I haven't even seen the rest... My personal favorites from this year: Lucky Star, Claymore, Death Note, Clannad, Minami-ke, Sky Girls.

Located the actual poll! http://www.vsist.com/ranking/57 ...The poll is rigged by Koreans. Ookiku Furikabutte Japanese voters 33% Korean voters 64% Kateikyoshi Hitman Reborn Japanese voters 35% Korean voters 58% others 7% Lucky Star Japanesse voters 84% Korean voters 14% others 2% Higurashi no Nakukoroni Japanese voters 91% Korean voters 8% Others 1% Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Japanese 97% Others 3%
(ID #68110) Posted on 2007/12/29 08:36
I'm sorry I guess its just me but I don't get Lucky Star. Is it suppose to be funny? Cute? Overall anime is going downhill IMO. Claymore had potential but they shortened it too much. I enjoyed death note but it didn't make the list. Then again I haven't seen any of these titles except lucky star. I'm just gonna say they don't make them like these used to although I do enjoy Bleach.
(ID #68111) Posted on 2007/12/29 09:33
No Claymore and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann?? I think Lucky Star should be #1 because Lucky Star is the most influential anime in 2007 IMO.
(ID #68112) Posted on 2007/12/29 09:50
Gurren Lagann should be on the top 10.

Hidamari Sketch on the 10th rank? MY NUTBLADDER BURST WITH JOY! Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei on the 9th rank? ZETSUBOU SHITA! I'm surprised that Nanoha Strikers is in the top 10, considering how disappointed I was with the anime.

The fact that Lucky star is in the top 10 shows that the list cannot be trusted! Yes, some bits were very funny but lucky star was so inconsistant with it's humour, I'd find it hard to recommend to anyone. I'm surprised that Gurren Lagann wasn't in the list tho. Code Geass too...
(ID #68115) Posted on 2007/12/29 10:14

Gurren Lagann at the top for sure! Lucky star will be second and maybe sky girls 3rd...

It'd be better to know what attendees at a major J fest liked best (Kujibiki Unbalance?). I was especially impressed by Darker Than Black and Baccano. Lucky Star cracks me up every time I rewatch. I guess Minami-ke, Shana II and Genshiken II are out of contention by dint of calendar. For J-lang-study, School Days is tops and is darn good anime, IMO. Danny: I'd like a feature on which anime series are most helpful for language study.

I guess I somewhat agree...Sola and Lucky Star can be on there, but at least not on those high spots. Higurashi deserves to be higher IMO, and where's all the good stuff like Death note?
(ID #68118) Posted on 2007/12/29 10:37
I'm surprised that Nanoha StrikerS made it to the top 10. In my opinion, Sola, Higurashi and Lucky Star will be one of the top 10 anime for year 2007. I never watched the rest of the title on the list so, can't comment much. One thing I must agree is that Gurren Lagann isn't in the top 10 list. D:
(ID #68119) Posted on 2007/12/29 10:49
I somewhat agree with the ranking. True, there are other series that may be better, but this is just a ranking of how many people liked a certain series.

I don't even think I watched 10 anime that came out this year. Only 2 I can think of were Gundam 00 and Gurren Lagann. I tried Lucky star but just couldn't get into it.

What isn't Dennou Coil on the top 10 list? D: When did substantial, quality anime productions become unpopular? By the way has anyone watched Macross Frontier yet? I believe it will be the next must-watch anime for next year. :B

I only watched two series on this list, Lucky Star and Hidamari Sketch so I can't really agree or disagree.. Lucky Star was great, it had its own unique humour, though it could have used less Haruhi fanservice. I only watched four episodes of Hidamari and then I got bored.. My anime of the year?, Denno Coil :)

Completely disagree........ Lucky Star should be #1 Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei should be #2 Minami-Ke #3 Sola was so so i guess...... where is Sky Girls,Idol M@ster Xenoglossia,Claymore,Gosyushou Sama Ninomiya-Kun,Bamboo Blade,Gurenn Lagan and the others? :(
