Anime Nano, my anime blog aggregator community thing, turned 1 year old this month! I was going to write a post about it, but I wanted to wait until I got a new feature finished. It’s been a while since I added anything to Anime Nano.
There’s already a popularity cloud thing in the footer of Anime Nano, but I wanted to make something that had more potential for discussion. Since people like charts, I figured I’d introduce some kind of weekly top ten chart that ranks the popularity of anime based on how many blog posts are written during the past week. Hence the name, Anime Nano Popularity Charts!
The charts auto-update every Sunday and make a top ten list showing the most popular anime. Only the blog posts that are “tagged” with a series count. Though it’s only polling a subset of the anime blogging community (the blogs that are in Anime Nano) I still think it’s a pretty fair representation of which anime are popular.
In one week, the charts will update, though you’ll still be able to go back and see the previous charts, too. Let me know what you think!

No Gurren-Lagann?
That’s unexpected.
Yeah, it’s like people stopped writing about it altogether.
“tagged”?
You mean tagged in the blog’s feed? Or tagged on Nano (however it does that)?
I mean tagged by Nano, like when you look at the expanded info and it shows the series.
Good job, and happy anniversary!
Interesting output. I had expected Gurren-Lagann to make the top 10 due to the amount of screen real estate it takes up in the cloud.
Hey, how come my blog can’t get accepted at animenano? T_T
I posted this at issues and requests and got no response as of today:

Guess the ODEX incidents weren’t as recorded as I think it was. Or maybe because no one bothered with the proper tags.
Haha, that’s pretty cool. Happy anniversary~ ^.
The chart thing looks pretty spiffy, but is it really necessary? What if a series is so bad that a lot of people write about its stupidity? =3
Happy anniversary!
Interesting. Makes the popularity cloud a little easier to interpret.
Not that it makes a difference for me; my blog’s not even in there.
Agreed with Zeroblade. Now you gave me another source of inspiration to write posts like these.
Belated Hanny Anniversary, btw. ^^
