Japan has released their final anime rankings for 2009 so how did your favorite anime place?
Coming in 1st and 2nd place are 2 childrens programs, Sazae-San and Chibi Maruka Chan. Now chances are you’ve never seen them before and either have I. While writing this post I have decided that just for the hell of it I’m going to show you guys a clip of Sazae-San the most popular Japanese televison!
Ok…..So, thats the number one animated program on Japanese television as voted by Japan.
But all Jokes aside It makes sense for Sazae-San to be at the top of the list because of its family friendly nature and the popularity it has with Japanese kids.
After Sazae-San and Chibi Maruka-chan we have the 3rd and my all time favorite show ”OnePiece“ Thats right One Piece ranked 3rd favorite animated television show and technically 1st for being the first actual anime on the list. OP definitely deserves the spot It was given and gratz to Eiichiro Oda!
To celebrate One Piece’s epic win, I thought I would share with you the best OP Amv (Animated Music Video) I have ever seen. It brings me great pleasure to introduce you to “Sail On!”
Epic, right?
Now I’m sure you would like to find out the rest of the list so lets roll!
Coming in 4th we have “Dragon Ball Kai“
We then have “Detective Conan” in a very well placed 5th position
In 6th and 7th we have “Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl” and “Tamagotchi!“
In 8th position we have your generic Tournament anime “Inazuma eleven“
Still staying strong in 9th position we have the very well known “Naruto Shippuden“
And last and probably least in the list we have a new Beyblade series “Metal Fight BeyBlade” in 10th
I’m really not surprised to see Pokemon so high with all its success it shows no signs of ever stepping down, ever. Naruto Shippuden was destined to be up there along with DB Kai, I find it interesting that Tamagotchi does so unbelievably well in japan after the horrible feedback it got everywhere else.
Ohk, So I hope you guys enjoyed this post.
-Tallyho!



Wow, nice list (mostly, anyway). I agree with you, One Piece does deserve it’s spot (actually hoped it’d be first, but what do I know :p). I’m amazed none of the popular Anime online are there. (e.g Haruhi Suzumiya, Bleach, Darker Than Black, Fullmetal Alchimest, etc).
Keep up the good work.
Wow that PVC model is pretty awesome. The show is super crazy good.
Beyblade should have been on here, which reminds me…
Wrote a beyblade entry on the old Bladebreakers vs. Season 4 trash if you would like to read and comment on:
