      Yorimoi, Madoka Magica, Violet Evergarden, Ping Pong, Vivy, Erased, Angel Beats, Death Parade, Houseki no Kuni, Baccano!, Nozaki-kun, *and* NGNL in the top 25… I think this is the best Fetch Poll result yet.

    2. Pretty good list all things considered. *Land of the Lustrous* and *No Game No Life* being on this list is pain.

    3. A Place Further than the Universe won with many fewer first places, one less silver and a few more bronzes compared to Madoka but many more 4-10 placements. That’s a surprising make-up !

    4. Only 2 points of a difference between first and second place!? Damn, don’t believe we’ve ever seen things get this close in one of these polls?

      It’s also nice to see anime that usually don’t have a shot at making these charts when going up against hugely popular and long-running series did so this time around. Anime originals definitely benefited from the one-cour criterium.

      I am a bit curious why so many people voted Bocchi The Rock, because that one is almost certainly getting another season. And Lycoris Recoil even got a sequel *and* spin-off series announced!

    5. Baccano! Feels too low for me but great list. Honestly should knock off the few I haven’t seen already

      Ahh Chainsaw Man at 26th.

      I probably would put that in my top 5. Although strange seeing Devil Man Crybaby so down i thought it’s one of the popular short series around here.

      Also isn’t Baccano 17 episode with all that ova combined. Though it’s 13 if we are only counting the tv show.

      Now for the best part one of my favourite series at number 1. Go Antarctica!

    7. Common Madoka win.

      Girls last tour top 18. Omg, at last some poll with good taste.

      Girls band cry. We are never escaping those recency biais accusations. Still an awesome show.

      Ping pong is a bit higher than I expected but it deserves that rank. Just like a place further than the universe.

      A Place Further Than the Universe at 1!? You’ve done good r/anime. You’ve done good.

      That’s not even to mention stuff like The Tatami Galaxy getting deserved recognition. This is definitely one of the better results of Fetch polls.

      Kyousougiga in the top 40!!!!!!! I’ve seen enough. I’m satisfied.

      > The next poll is for r/anime’s favourite harem

      Holy shit, the time has come and so have I.

      I mean I know I will inevitably get disappointed when 100gfs places first, but that’s still a small price to pay for finally getting the best poll going.

    10. Honestly a very good list, the top 2 especially are some of the best anime out there, though Madoka probably lost a ton of votes because many think that the movie should have disqualified Madoka for this particular list.

      Though Baccano should definitely be higher.

    11. Some Haibane Renmei visibility, nice! Pleasantly surprised to see it make the top 25

      I thought Death Parade might be top 10, just missed it. Also Lain seems low, and Lycoris Recall is a bit high. But a really solid list for sure

      Why is bocchi the rock and no game no life here? Isn’t it only for completed anime?

    13. Sharebear42019 on

      Love to always see baccano on these lists

      I’ll never forgive them for giving durarara a bunch of seasons but not this

    14. Surprised to see Sora Yori at the top, but glad to see some of these on here like Girls’ Last Tour and Bocchi. With all that said though, Madoka, Violet Evergarden, Tatami Galaxy and No Game No Life are not single cour shows and Baccano!, Death Parade and Odd Taxi are fringe cases.

      It’s kinda doomed if we can’t even get this one right (in terms of including stuff that doesn’t fit).

    15. With a lot of Shoujo and Josei series often getting only one cour I was hoping to see a few more titles here. But in the whole top 100 are only two Josei with Given and Sakamichi no Apollon as far as I can see.

    16. Comprehensive_Dog651 on

      WOWW Madoka not no1?!!! I thought this sub loves madoka!! It still got the most first place votes though. Surprised to see tsuki ga kirei here, but other than that not too many surprises. Seems like the more arthouse stuff get more first place votes And some of these shouldnt really count as single cour shows

      Sonny Boy is one of my favourite anime of all time. That being said I do not understand half the shit that happened in this show.

    18. imheretocomment69 on

      No game no life has 15 episodes or fewer? I’ve always thought it’s a long anime

    19. Illustrious-Fox5135 on

      Never thought I would Tsuki ga Kirei in the top 25. One of my favourite romance anime. Thank you all for those who voted ❤️

    20. I haven’t voted for any of the top 7, but over half my votes are in the rest of the top 25 so I’ll consider that a win.

      And of course Girls Band Cry is one of them. We demand another promotion as your marketing department Toei

    21. This list feels very Reddit.

      No FLCL? Maybe it’s not eligible.

      Beyond the Boundary is 12 EPS and I really liked it, some people hate the ending.

      Interspecies Reviews was hilarious and horny.

      Dorohedoro was really nice but might get a season 2.

      Wotakoi should be on here.

      Love after world domination was super fun.

      Deca-Dence super underrated.

    22. I cannot understand the appeal of death parade. Seems likes such a mediocre anime to me.

      But where is yosuga no sora though.

    23. Huh that’s a pretty good list. Looks like I have to try the ones I haven’t seen yet.

    24. Accomplished_Cup7593 on

      Some great ones here. Such a shame that we have to wait for so long to get a season 2 for most anime on this list.
