A ranking of the top new anime of 2011 so far already yields a surprising turnabout – after a tearful ending and doubtless thanks in no small part to the extreme popularity of Anal, the magical puellae have been ousted from their formerly secure top spot.

1. Ano Hi Mita Hana
2. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
3. Tiger & Bunny
4. Steins;gate
5. Blue Exorcist
6. Hanasaku Iroha
7. Hidan no Aria
8. Nichijou
