But hey, we have proof to show that our series is the BEST LOVED ANIME SERIES OF ALL TIME! ' Coz the series we love so much has topped the general charts. I have researched and as far as I have learned, almost all charts have the name Bleach on it with the good number of votes and watchers that it became one of the most popular series ever viewed on television.

The most popular titles are determined with a simple summation of all votes. Titles with many votes will tend to be at the top, but this is modified a little by the ratings. In other words, the popularity is the straight average score of a title (the value in the rating column) multiplied by the number of votes.

There are still a lot more charts I have seen so far, I choose the best and most preferred one so posted this right here so you will be aware how popular we are and the best among the rest!


:winking56 This is for you guys!!!

[DevilMacCry]

Nice News, thats really cool, pls next time you write so mutch diffrent colors^^ and some of them are unreadable

[Inalialethsala]

lol yeah I'll definitely remember that ^_^ my forum skin here is black, so I nevr though anyone can't see my posts with different colors ^_^. yes I'll do it next time.

[Genryusai]

if they didnt dub the version.. i bet there'd b alot more people watchin it.. imo.. havent watched a single dubbed version and dont ever want to... they tend to take out alot of the storyline & stuff usually.. and I've heard the voices sound reallly bad

[Lust]

woww thjats cool but meh thhey sould get top 5 in all the charts :(

[Inalialethsala]

woww thjats cool but meh thhey sould get top 5 in all the charts :(

jeez I forgot to post that! I've seen that... how can i ever forget?! I researched in the web so far for a hwile now and I've seen that chart with just the most number of votes. yes, the top 5 one. I'll see to that one and if i finally found it I'll post it here for all of you! ^_^ :winking56

[gdo01]

if they didnt dub the version.. i bet there'd b alot more people watchin it
Does anyone else not understand this logic? The only way people can find out about a series is to be told about it or casually watch it. People who don't like the dub probably were never going to watch the sub anyway.

Anyway, these ratings are hardly anything to brag about. It just shows that Bleach fans like to go to this site. Of the animes I've watched Bleach is no where near the top. Still good but not that great. It just has a lot of exposure and crossover appeal from Naruto (another not that great anime).

[Miyagi Rikku]

Hurray for FMA! *smacks myself*

I mean! Hurray for Bleach. :D We are getting there and we should
hypnotize more people to watch Bleach. XD haha

[mugentyper]

Does it matter who first? I fail to see the point because all those anime listed is awesome and deserve their spot on top so does bleach. Even if bleach #1 doesn't mean anything to me, All those anime rocks so i don't care about the chart.

[Pyramus]

when i read wht u 1st said, i thought u were talkin about how bleach was no 1! But umm... if u havent noticed, were not! U made it sound like we were 1st by sayin that no other anime can compete! Well, it looks like FMA and Cowboy bebop can!

[bleachxxliz]

we all love bleach and we all love our other anime.
yay. bleach was proved to be one of the best but it doesnt mean it is [to some people anyway ^^.

...ooh, princess mononoke & spirited away are on there =D

[silverwolf801]

hm FMA beat all of course

[young eric]

if they didnt dub the version.. i bet there'd b alot more people watchin it.. imo.. havent watched a single dubbed version and dont ever want to... they tend to take out alot of the storyline & stuff usually.. and I've heard the voices sound reallly bad

Yeah a couple weeks ago I saw the episode of Ichigo VS. Renji in the SS arc and I was laughing at the voices it was no where near as good as the subbed.

btw. Yachiru calls Kenpachi, Kenny:Domo

[Jedi Taicho]

hm FMA beat all of course

Yea it's sortta hard to beat FMA. I'll congratulate FMA for being a great Anime.

Props go to Bleach for actually being on that list. I hope that in a few months or when ever the ratings are posted again Bleach goes up.

[bleach_4_ever]

But what I don't understand is that even though the anime is what? fourty something episodes, people watch more than bleach which is an ongoing anime... I just don't get it.
(note: WOOHOOOOO!!! am a Noob now!!!!)

[SunnyPie♥]

No way~~ Death Note isn't there? D:

XD Anyways It is good that Bleach is so popular ^___^

[theblack_dragon]

yep i agree but FMA had a real touching storyline and the action was nice to but bleach is king right now in my opinion but i also feel the americab producers didnt put as much heart and soul into getting proper voice actors for the dub version i mean look at gundamwing, seed, and destiny and who could forget ghost in a shell these were all great dubed anime series. i feel they should have put in more time

[Inalialethsala]

when i read wht u 1st said, i thought u were talkin about how bleach was no 1! But umm... if u havent noticed, were not! U made it sound like we were 1st by sayin that no other anime can compete! Well, it looks like FMA and Cowboy bebop can!

you must understand this very clearly: What i mean in my post is that we have made it in the charts. thus, the title. you can see it don't you? we have made the charts by Being On the Top, not number 1 coz we are aware there's still more anime series out there that are also good to be in the charts and a possible no. 1 candidate.

you should be happy the series is made well- known, otherwise one can just say it's a stupid thing to watch...

or else, why don't you be happy that at least we made it to the top 5 as well. Top 5...

and second, I honestly never made this post to sound like were no. 1. I'm only giving you this good news which you make it sound like you spoil it. I don't like that. we should be aware and understand that not everyone in here has found this stat, that's why I'm posting this news to them and they were thankful and happy. what's so down thing to it is how u think of it.

just understand other people's ideas, not to let them down like what you did.

[mugentyper]

Inalialethsala- I don't think he let anyone down or even the post down, WE all know bleach is one of the greats anime to be created that why we are on this site. I wouldn't careless if it the 100th anime, for all I care is that I like it and to me it one of the top 10. Nice if it #1 but I don't think worth being #1 spot. But top ten it has the rightful place.

[omega255]

all i know is bleach is the only anime i've properly watched (i tried naruto but got bored) and it is f*cking immense. go bleach!!

[Sobre Hielo]

Kyoto Animation must be fuming. Bleach is the cheapest show to produce on this whole list, and it beat the most expensive show!
Amazing!


I'm not suprised that FullMetal Alchemist beat everything. Great show, good times...

And by the way, the dub for Bleach roxerz mah boxers, and I will defend that 'till my death. Shame on you blasphemers!

[L'Arc Enzeru]

Well FMA is definitly good but i think BLEACH is better than it so i think BLEACH must be placed at 1 ! well... whatever that shows BLEACH Is awesome, Hurray for BLEACH!!! and booooo~ to Naruto

[Emperor Knives]

I never really got interested in FMA so I don't really know why its No.1. And Death Note isn't even there...weird. Bleach deserves the spot.

[Rukia's Angel]

Bleach did pretty well rankings wise..

As for FMA, despite having not seen the whole series, honestly not too many epis, I understand why it got so high.

[gdo01]

If anyone actually read the link and looked at it, you would see that this is the how many people have voted multiplied by their votes. That means that animes that have been around for a time or have been widely viewed will get more votes multiplied than a better anime that few people have watched. Animes like Death Note and Monster will likely never make the list since they don't have as much fanboy/girl appeal as a Naruto/Bleach/Haruhi.

The "fairest" rating system on ANN is probably http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/ratings-anime.php?top50=best_bayesian since its methodology is based on large numbers of people's votes but is not completely based on how many voted. And sorry for the hardcore Bleach fan, but Bleach used to be on that list but now its gone completely. Check out some of those on the list, I guarantee you will see that those are good animes and a much better ranking system than the one on the first post.

[Twinky]

The fact is that Bleach's story line and animation design makes more sence instead of just kids stuff, it has a better foundation than other animes, take Naruto for example, his ultimate goal is to become hokage but however too much stuff that happend in his life sidetrack his passage

[Ibataké]

Great info!! Woow, Bleach ownes Naruto in rating:|
