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 23:52
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 10:28
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 03:12
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 23:58
Wow, I haven't watched a single one of the Top 10 yet.
(ID #68057) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:08
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.

sola! I love that anime as well ^^
(ID #68063) Posted on 2007/12/29 00:28
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 00:34
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 00:51
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 03:56
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.

@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 01:29
Completely Agree cause Sola has a nice and unpredictable ending :D the story is kind a nice too :)

completely agree Sola, it's a good anime, best(for me at least) ^^.

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 02:03
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

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 02:14
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 02:27
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.

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.

(ID #68091) Posted on 2007/12/29 03:41
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 03:57
Sola was pretty good, but there are definitely better ones. Sky Girls for example. Eika's too hot not to be in Top Ten =/

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 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 05:56
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 06:09
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 06:10
yeah, whatever happened to code geass, death note, minami-ke, shana-chan??
(ID #68104) Posted on 2007/12/29 06:34
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 06:57
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 07:03
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 08:02
IT, Programmer, Otaku, ...
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.

(ID #68110) Posted on 2007/12/29 09:00
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 09:57
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 10:14
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...

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.

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 11:01
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 11:13
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 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 :)

2 million votes isn't enough to represent the top 10 anime in 2007. Minami-ke, Kmimikiss and Claymore should have been there. And yeah, lucky star should have taken top spot. Also there's quite a few more that should have made it in the list.

I agree with many that great shows are missing here, including Tengen Toppai Gurren Lagann, Darker than Black, Claymore and many others. And a few shows I've yet to watch, such as Bamboo Blade and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Haha. What an entertaining poll. Thanks for sharing it. I don't completely agree with how it was ranked, but some of the series that was mentioned are quite noteworthy for being in the top 10 -- some of those being Ookiku Furikabutte and Gintama. Below contains my list of the top picks for 2007 (based on the series overall against others in the same genre): For what was completed in 2007: Nodame Cantabile Seirei no Moribito Romeo x Juliet Toward the Terra Baccano! Genshiken2 *Gurren Lagann For what is continuining: Kekkaishi Ookiku Furikabutte *It was very rare to see Gainax to deliver an unimaginable tale that was so well conceived that they could claim it was one of their originals. It reminded me of their true classics such as Nadia, FLCL, and I guess... Evangelion.

To Sean in San Francisco: I'm a great fan of Studio 4°C's works. The animation is pure bliss to watch if you've ever had the opportunity to watch some of their animated shorts. Tekkon Kinkurīto was released in Japan in 2006, and not 2007 if you're going by their poll. From Sean, "Does anybody here on this blog not think that 80's & 90's anime & manga were just WAY better?" Post 21st Century works were fabulous. Now anime production (i.e. financially) has been reduced and the quality shows. Unfortunately what happens is that every season there is maybe one decent series out of the entire crop. And out of the entire year there is usually one series to rule them all. In regards to manga, I don't know if you're investing the time to researching what to read, but there are plenty of artists that reap with potential. Some of the artists from the 80's and 90's still contain a body of work that continues to publish.

Hmm... other than Lucky Star, I didn't see anything in the list that I would consider "Top Ten" quality. This kinda makes me wonder if the shows that are popular with the US bloggers aren't as popular overall in Japan (i.e. Gurren Lagann).

sadly i have watched every anime out there. they all seems pretty nice. my favorite is still Ranma, Doraemon, and Ouran High school host club (I spell it wrong)
(ID #68181) Posted on 2007/12/30 06:41
I disagree with the list, but wow. Nanatsuiro Drops beating the likes of Denno Coil? lol. I thought Nanatsuiro was cute, but it definitely doesn't even break the top 30 for me. Sola was a nice surprise IMO (not many seems to agree), but wow. NUMBER ONE. heh. Of course, the mentions should go to the likes of Kanon, ef, Clannad, Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Denno Coil, Emily of New Moon, etc etc.
(ID #68185) Posted on 2007/12/30 07:21
Oh, and my top 10 would probably look like: 1- Emily of New Moon 2- Code Geass 3- ef Tale of Memories 4- Minami-ke! 5- Kaiji 6- Seirei no Moribito 7- Denno Coil 8- Shugo Chara 9- Death Note 10- Kanon But really, this year was so amazing in terms of sheer content, I won't diss many of them. I even loved Touka Gettan and Xenoglossia!

I haven't even heard of half of them. I've only seen Higurashi and Lucky Star, neither of which deserve a spot in the top 10 anime of the year. Both we're good, but nowhere near as good as Minami-ke, Darker Than Black, Sky Girls or Seto No Hanayome. Dragonaut is also one of my favorite shows, but I don't really think it's 'anime of the year' material.

Sola huh? Kinda enjoyed it, though I wasn't totally impressed by it. This just comes to show how different the western view is to the Japanese. I too am compiling my own Top 5s in my blog (do check it out!) and I'm gonna list down my best 2007 anime soon. It'll be kinda different with the list above :3

YES!! YES!! My 2 faves of the year ARE the top 2 of the year! Here my Top 5 1] sola 2] Lucky☆Star 3] CLANNAD 4] Minami-ke 5] Claymore I am surprised to see Minami-ke and even Claymore not even ranking. and what about Gurren Lagann. Wow! Talk about stingy

(ID #68243) Posted on 2007/12/30 21:42
I acept than japanese are diferent to us (americans, Mexico is part of America) but gurren lagann and Dennou Coil had such perfect animation, i think they deserved more rank in place Nanoha o Nanatsuiro Drops for examples I use to belive than hayate would enter in a top like that in japan, my mistake then

I'm too busy for the year to have watched enough anime to make my own top ten list, but WHY ISN"T CODE GEASS in it?!?!? In my opinion it had the best depiction of real robot mecha combat for the year (finished its run in 2007)... maybe it's because of its storyline; it's so tangled now that my friend told me he'd given up guessing who would win.

Hurray for Oofuri :D but sola... I was more of expecting Lucky Star to take the #1 spot o__o
(ID #68291) Posted on 2007/12/31 12:46
I almost wonder how that sort of list stacks up across the whole world. I'm personally a big fan of Minami-ke, Lucky Star, and Zetsubou-sensei.
(ID #68351) Posted on 2008/01/01 04:34
I can't believe this list, especially looking at the top 100 from the link. Claymore ranking 74th, even though the last quarter of the anime was mediocre it deserves a much higher ranking imo. Worst part is One Piece, Code Geass, and Death Note are all not on the top 100 list despite their popularity. In conclusion this list is odd.
(ID #68389) Posted on 2008/01/01 10:13
I Somewhat agree i watch some animes from the list and i dont complete agree with that where is claymore? tengen toppa? bamboo blade?
(ID #68425) Posted on 2008/01/01 18:33
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is the only show i see deserving to be in the top 10 there
(ID #68442) Posted on 2008/01/01 22:53
NEET (no, student, AND employed min. wage)
sola = #1... what? and why is Zetsubou on there... Honestly, if it did not have a second season (thank god it is) it would have gotten the worst ending ever in Anime history... Introducing new characters in the LAST episode... wtf.... I do not know the others though, which makes me some what releived but some what sad.... Relieved b/c it means I am not a hardcore aniota Sad b/c I feel that I shold watch it, but do not for reasons such as genre and topic
(ID #68571) Posted on 2008/01/03 13:05
Some of the anime that people are listing (for instance, I saw someone list Death Note) started airing in 2006 and finished up in 2007. These are only 2007 vintage anime. At any rate I still can't believe Gurren Lagann isn't up there, it was one of the most epic anime I've ever seen.

Even though the Japanese may have slightly different taste to, say, Americans or other people, the difference is not supposed to be that great. I do want to know what were available and what weren't available to vote. For example maybe Code Geass is considered as a 2006 one? Does Clannad count? Or is it not because it's not completed yet? And I do not know the majority of the anime listed in that top 10. The ones I have heard of frequently (Gurren Lagann, Seto no Hanayome, Claymore, or even Kaze no Stigma) are not on it (but I've yet to watch any of them...). Now with Sola apparently being the top anime, is it any good? So far from what I can see there are mixed opinions of it.
(ID #68912) Posted on 2008/01/07 21:17
am not pretty sure why sola is number one. heck, i didn't even buy a copy of it because it was like so short. hmmmm... i'm starting to reconsider buying one. i don't know the other titles but am interested in buying them all, just because. harharhar. am not really that excited about darker than black, i have a copy but was not able to finish it. the transition is too slow for me, it almost made me fall asleep. tengen toppa gurren lagann is ok too, am watching the first few episodes, it seems fun enough. i'm betting on claymore or deathnote or codegeass to make it on the list because the plot is really wicked! so am disappointed that it was set aside. =^_^=

Sola is For sure the best anime in 2007
(ID #72886) Posted on 2008/02/22 12:56
Why is Sayonara Zet not on the top 5?! I had the impression that it was really popular ^^

Wow....I can't believe thats how the voting ended up...I'm really surprised. Needless to say that list doesn't match what I think at all.

And for people to say that Higurashi doesnt deserve top 10 is out of their fliping minds. PS...Its nice to see Nanoha & Lucky star up their also.

Its probably irrelevant if i post my opinion on 2007s anime in late 2008 but i just registered and feel the need to voice my opinion:
Namely, that im glad higurashi was ranked #5, it is my favorite anime. I found it to be very deep, thought provoking and tragic, if you didnt like it, you might have misinterpreted it, it was very multifaceted (something thing to note: I watched it all in the course of about 4 days {both seasons}). I have not seen the other any of the other anime on this list, so i cannot form a knowledgeable opinion about whether or not they deserve their spot on this list. Im surprised (or maybe upset) that so many of you disagree with this list but have not watched through the all of the anime on it (im not saying you should, im just saying that you shouldnt judge something you havent seen for yourself or are able to appreciate)
(ID #378947) Posted on 2008/11/20 16:45
hm 2nd place lucky star...I have to check sola ...haha
(ID #383413) Posted on 2008/11/24 08:39
Suprised more people don't have something to say about Claymore and why it wasn't on the list. That was one of the best anime's ive seen in a long time.
(ID #410038) Posted on 2008/12/13 11:08
yush katekyo hitman reborn is in the list~<3

I watched Sola after I saw this the result of this poll. It can count as a good anime only if you see it till the end - I've seen it and now it's in my top10 best anime I ever saw. I tried watching Lucky Star but it was to hard. I love nonsense talk but that was to much. And I actually watched 5 or 7 episodes so that I wouldn't make an unfair opinion towards this anime. There are some anime in this top that I haven't even heard of before and unfortunately other great anime aren't mentioned.
