Japanese fans pick their favorite Kyoto Animation anime
Nov 17Biglobe loves polls. This time it was about the favorite Kyoto Animation anime, and The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi got the 5th place. The series is still strong!!
This is the ranking and the votes for each series.
1. Hyouka (516)
2. Clannad ~After Story~ (465)
3. K-On!! (387)
4. K-On! (384)
5. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (333)
6. Clannad (310)
7. Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai! (251)
8. My Ordinary Life (237)
9. Air (213)
10. Lucky Star (200 votes)
11. Kanon (165 votes)
12. Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (148)
13. Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (114)
14. Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai. (43)
I can’t believe that crap called Air was ranked better than the awesome series Kanon or Fumoffu. At least Haruhi is still in a good position. Inspecting the list, some series are just the second season, so the real winner would be Clannad, second place would be K-on, third place Hyouka and fourth place our Haruhi. That makes much better sense, don’t you think?
