3) Fruits Basket (49 votes
2) Snow White with the Red Hair (55)
1) Your Name. (65 votes)Snow White With The Red Hair is seemingly the biggest surprise, as in the past it did not seem to be driving hype on par with Makoto Shinkai theatrical releases. It’s impressive that oldies like Maison Ikkoku and Ah My Goddess are still hanging in there beside more modern favorites like Maid Sama! after all these years.
Was there a title which didn’t rise as high as you expected in the rankings? Do you feel any of the top picks didn’t really deserve the votes? Let us know in the comments!
