With the Spring anime season officially over, Japanese media and pop culture website Akiba Souken has asked the Japanese people which Spring 2013 anime they thought had the best run. The poll however did not include any anime that are continuing their runs into the summer season like Shingeki no Kyoujin, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S and Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Princev as the poll only asked about the anime which have ended last Spring season

Did the results surprise you or did you expect it? The top 2 most certainly made some noise this season and introducing us to great characters and good story lines. Did the respective endings of these anime influence the results?


One thing is for sure, Spring was certainly a season full of surprises. Not only did Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru surprise people with its different take on anime romantic comedies, but it proved good enough to take the #2 spot. The anime has wowed the audience with the actions of its main character, Hachiman and showed a well rounded cast of characters which balanced the series out wonderfully.


It’s also surprising for short anime like Yuyushiki to place high on the list. The humor presented by that anime short played out well as the anime took the #8 spot. Returning anime like Oreimo and Chihayafuru have proven their staying power as both returnees made it to the top 10.


Date-A-Live which is one of the heavy favored anime coming into the Spring season somehow just got #10 even if the anime garnered a solid fan base. But this season belonged to the #1 Hataraku Maou-Sama which won via land slide. The anime about a Dark Lord escaping to modern day Tokyo and working as a part-timer clicked with the audience thanks to its mix of interesting plot (and no, I am not talking about Chiho on this one), colorful characters and darn-good-ol’ fashioned humor… and that other sort of plot as well.


Last season certainly gave us some awesome new anime. With summer already here, hopefully, this new season would turn out just as great.
