I'm kinda surprised that Amanchu! didn't rank at all. I guess there's not as many ARIA fans that latched onto Amanchu! as I thought there would be.

I doubt it will be. As much as the Love Live movie existed for the sake of callbacks to the series and for giving the audience exactly what they wanted, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Sunshine is painfully self-aware of the expectations that current LL fans have coming in to it and is built for that… which would then make it more difficult to pick up as a first look at the franchise. The existing two seasons are among the most popular anime of the decade in Japan… I'd go so far as to say the essential entries in the anime canon for this decade so far are Madoka Magica, Attack on Titan, and Love Live. So if you're not interested in the two seasons of the show that have already achieved landmark status, maybe the whole franchise isn't gonna be your thing (and that's totally fine, BTW, idols are not everyone's bag) |

Love Live is a phenomenon that is much more than specific to otaku. Goes from young kids (male/female to adults (male female). If you go to any cosplay event in Japan there is a big chance than more than half of females cosplayers are in Love Live cosplay. If this show are doing anything is bringing more young fans to anime.

I already know that. i'm not talking about that kind of stuff. Some fans are paying money to those characters , and some are literally worshiping them |

I agree.There are always someone going over the top. And liken you said in another comment. Some Love Live fans are very annoying and we can't have a civilized talk with them. Well, like with other big shows fans. Anyway im looking for it. . And good to see Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!! raking. Finally are going to the best part of the story so far.

Near perfect top 3 but New Game being 12th is terrible, there's still some bad taste around.

Like, if Active raid received 5 females votes and 32 male votes, while Mob Psycho 100 received 20 males and 20 females votes. (Numbers are fictions) It's just the fact that it's a top 10 male and a top 10 female, while the two together makes a top 20. |

I only voted for one show: Orange. I wish I could be excited about more new shows, but, unfortunately for me, the upcoming Summer season is not looking so hot to me.

Voted for D.Gray-man Hallow and Orange. My friend and I are super hyped for these two (especially Hallow).
Danganronpa and Arslan are somewhat up there, but I haven't been planning on watching them like DGM or Orange. To be honest, I haven't really looked at what's airing next season, compared to the current season which I've been waiting to air for a long time. I've been meaning to see what's airing, so I guess the best time to do it is now. I could care less for Love Live, though. Was never my thing. |

I think it's just coincidence in my case. Like it's for the same dubious reasons as male viewers who tend to support what shows have the cutest looking girls in them, it's just that when it comes to shows with character designs that are attractive to female viewers they tend to have more meat to them and just pick up that interest as a result of an after thought. When it comes to shows aimed at male viewers though they seem to have one and only one goal in mind. Of course then you have shows like Love Live where they manage to pick up both but that's Sunrise for you. They have a very old school day time anime oriented approach to things where they try to make their shows as inclusive as possible with potential demographics rather than exclusive like what happens with a lot of modern late night otaku type stuff. They're really the only studio I know of that has a fair number of franchises with non-skewed demographics including men, women, young children and even a 30+ crowd in the case of Gundam, Yamato 2199 and of all things Aikatsu.
It's a charapedia poll so yeah it does have a low sample count. I wouldn't take it as anything definitive.
Wow people continue to be astonishingly off base when it comes to Love Live's popular and the reasons for it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised from a Western fanbase that nowadays is utterly clueless as to why something like say Gundam The Origin or Girls und Panzer could be huge hits. People just have a bizarrely narrow and off base viewpoint when it comes to anime nowadays probably relating to how Crunchyroll Hype popularity tends to dominate impressions of the scene now. |

Love Live Sunshine, Orange, Taboo-Tattoo...These three shows have my attention.
Plus, special thanks to ANN for also mentioning Puzzle and Dragons X in the poll. I didn't think that show would be brought up considering how the advertising for it went largely unnoticed. |
