Yeah I am glad to see that also, i don't mind if there not available from the get-go but eventually....thank you ANN. As for the rankings I can't believe that Pokemon is still going strong, maybe because it was a special, I thought that this series was fading in Japan also.

Damn right it is.
In any case, it's interesting to see Major on the list.

I guess those fillers really killed Naruto over there.

Considering how popular Gegege Kitaro is, I'm surprised I haven't seen any f****bs out there yet.
And the Diamond/Pearl actually isn't too bad. I've been watching it (in part to improve my Japanese Comprehension) and it almost seems to be going "back to the roots" of what made Pokemon good in the first place.

I think Pokemon has essentially hit the "classic" threshold, as Detective Conan has done, and plenty really long series (Chibi Maruko-chan, Crayon Shin-chan, Sazae-san) have done long ago. Popularity isn't really relevant anymore because it's past the fad stage; instead, it's something that's going to stick around with a pretty consistently high AHR (as opposed to ups and downs in more "recently" popular series like Naruto or Bleach).

Yeah, I think of Pokemon as a more "classic" show now, in the same vein as Detective Conan and others. Naruto and Bleach are still fad anime series when you get down to it. As soon as the manga hits a big low point or the series has to once again resort to fillers, the popularity will go down majorly. Shows like Pokemon, have already survived the fad point, and managed to find good enough footing to kepp going for a long time. Now that I think about it, most of the longer running series that have managed this sort of title have been fairly episodic in nature.

This should be interesting if you keep this feature up. Thank you so much for doing it!! I think these should be pretty interesting. It seems like a lot of people have misconceptions about what's the big thing rating wise in Japan, citing Naruto and Bleach as the biggies because that's what it is over here. Certainly they're popular, but not to the level fans perceive them. Outside One Piece, the very top series tend to be the 'kiddie shows' like Pokemon and Shin-chan (I've admittedly not personally seen Sazae-san, Makuro-chan, and Gege, but they do indeed fall there), and the Monday night Shounen Sunday block which features Detective Conan and Kekkaishi right now, and featured stuff like InuYasha, and Cheeky Angel in the recent past.

Very interesting.
I'm enjoying this information
All these other posters are always claiming how popular this & that is, so it's nice to see some reality injected.
Over on the Funi licences One Piece thread the naysayers kept insisting Naruto is more popular than One Piece, but it looks as though almost twice as many tuned in for One Piece than for Naruto.
And I didn't know the frogs were THAT popular. Wow.

I can't think of why Naruto suffered a 24% drop. The fillers dealt a heavy blow, yes, but now we're back into the main plot again, shouldn't they be rising? I suppose that maybe (I haven't seen the episodes, by the way) some people, having been away for so long, didn't find the start to the second part of the series gripping or good enough to stay onboard. I wonder how long it will be till Naruto soars to it's previous popularity, if ever.
