Sounds good! :D But actually the list did already help me. Just finished the last Major season couple of weeks ago and I'm still kinda in a baseball hype, so touch is perfect. :D
But I will come back to this channel more frequently from now on, so I'll take your offer sooner or later for sure.

Yeah, exactly. The chart is there for the neophytes, which are completely new to anime and have only watched like 1-2 shows, and don't know what to do next.
Although I'm also embarrassed by that chart. Not only have I not watched like 90% of it, but I don't even recognize the names of the shows on that chart, rofl. Some of those shows listed there, seem really old judging by the drawing style.

Thank you, Harem. It means a lot to us that you went to the trouble to make that mod note.

It's a photo album with a ton of charts.

A list gets put up and then everyone starts bitching about what is classified as what. I'm starting to think you all just like to bicker:D

I think the link Ferrose posted is nice; it has a lot of charts. But if you just want one chart try this:

+ Show Spoiler +

I took the chart you used and edited it. I only really touched on the obvious things and left the mass majority of it alone. Some things were just ridiculous so I had to change them.

Patch Notes (starting from the left side):

Outlaw Star: Moved from Action to Sci-Fi. It replaces Real Drive. To be honest I haven't watched Real Drive yet but Outlaw Star is a classic and I checked various sites for rating comparisons and Outlaw Star beat out Real Drive. Hunter x Hunter takes Outlaw Star's place under Action.

Full Metal Panic: Moved from Action to Mech. It replaces Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. This move was mainly done because FMP is mainly looked upon as a mecha and because One Piece needed a slot under Action. I don't know, but I think most people can agree FMP > SEED.

Bounen no Xamdou: Replaced by Katanagatari. I really enjoyed Bounen no Xam'd but Katanagatari's popularity has skyrocketed, its overall ratings are better on all sites, and I myself think it's the better show.

Bartender: Replaced by K-On! I have to admit that I've never watched Bartender. In fact I never hear anything about it. K-On!'s popularity is incredible and is an all-around good slice of life anime. It deserves a recommendation.

Love Hina: Replaced by Kimi ni Todoke. No freaking contest.

sola: Replaced by Bakemonogatari. Honestly I didn't want to put Bakemonogatari under Romance because it has so much more to it, but out of everything else I feel this is the best category for it. sola doesn't compare.

Abenobashi: Replaced by Gintama. If it wasn't for the fact that the Action section is pretty stacked I'd have put Gintama under there. Instead, I had to put it under comedy which I think it still satisfies plentifully. I chose Abenobashi for it to replace because it's not as widely regarded as everything else under this category, although it does have its own hardcore following. It was a tough call but it had to be done. The only condolence I can give to those who do love Abenobashi... is nothing. It doesn't compare to Gintama in ratings, sales, fanbase, total awesomeness, etc.

Rozen Maiden: Moved to Fantasy and replaces Mahou Shoujotai Arusu. I don't even know why Rozen Maiden was placed under Mystery in the first place. Huge failure. I enjoyed Mahou Shoujotai Arusu but Rozen Maiden beats it out in fanbase/popularity and ratings. Master Keaton replaces Rozen Maiden under Mystery. Master Keaton is a real gem.

Fate/stay night: Replaced by City Hunter. Really, why is THIS under Mystery? I enjoyed F/sn even though it does garner a lot of flak from those who have played the game. I couldn't find a spot for F/sn so it was removed completely. City Hunter is a classic; it deserved the spot.

Code Geass: Moved to Mecha and replaces Macross Frontier. Not sure why it's under drama. So with Code Geass replacing Macross Frontier it would mean I've removed it and Gundam SEED in favor of FMP and Code Geass. I think that's a legitimate choice. What about you guys? Code Geass replaced by Grave of the Fireflies.

School Days: Replaced by Tsukimi no Ie. If I didn't do this, how else would you guys troll people and follow it up with the 'according to keikaku' pic? Tsukimi no Ie is only 12 minutes long but it's quite good. Anyone who wants a quick watch, check it out.

Bamboo Blade & Kaiji: Kaiji moved to Psychological and replaces GITS. Nothing against GITS at all, but it's more sci-fi than anything. And in that regard, GITS:SAC is already under sci-fi, so I don't think GITS absolutely needs to be in there. Kaiji is not a freakin' sports anime. Kaiji replaced by Cross Game and Bamboo Blade replaced by Ookiku Furikabutte. Cross Game was an obvious choice. Ookiku Furikabutte beats out Bamboo Blade. As much as I loved Bamboo Blade (trust me, I loved it. I watched it like three times so far. dat Hirohashi Ryou), Ookiku Furikabutte is the better sports anime.

Basilisk: Replaced by Natsume Yuujinchou. Okay, I guess technically you can consider ninja with special powers fantasy. But really, Basilisk should be considered Action more than anything, and in that regard it's not as good as the others under Action. Natsume Yuujinchou is an extremely good show with solid ratings everywhere.

That is a pretty terrible chart, its missing TONS of shit


Both Gundam SEED and Macross Frontier are popular and good mech shows, and both need to be on the list. There isn't really any reason to take off Gundam SEED, but then add Code Geass (which is MUCH less popular here than SEED). Replace Eureka 7 with Gundam SEED, and replace Patlabor with Macross Frontier. Replace Gundam: Stardust Memories with either Gunbuster or Getter Robo Armageddon, since 0083 sucked. Also, both Super Dimensional Fortress Macross and Do You Remember Love don't need to be on there, since DYRL is essentially the movie version of the series. Replace DYRL with Escaflowne.

I've never seen Bartender either, but I've heard its excellent. In general, I'm uncomfortable with you removing any shows you haven't actually seen, because how would you know if they're good or not?

For Bartender, think Aria w/ cocktails and focusing more on the iyashi-kei than building a world.

Bake under romance feels so limiting for that work.

Let's get this straight. Everyone has their own opinions. What is the one way to rate shows above others? You have to go by common consensus. This means that a show that is "better done" than another may not make it, but a general consensus gives a good idea of what may be enjoyed by more people. When you make a recommendation you don't just go, "Okay this anime was good so you should watch it." That's bad recommendation. Some are more complicated in terms of depth and style and so might not be as liked by the masses. So in this case, K-On > Bartender and Outlaw Star > Real Drive. Both have extreme popularity and are generally accepted as good/great by those who've watched it. On the other hand, how many recommendations do you think Bartender and Real Drive get compared to K-On and Outlaw Star? I'm not saying they're worse shows, especially since I haven't seen those two, but you have to weigh more than just how good they may be to you before you make a recommendation.
