The most popular project toplist
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 12:36 pm
Sometimes one may wonder which are the most popular projects on B-T... Well Haruhi is a doubtless number 1 but some may wonder how other projects do.
The most simple way is to count general views, but as we know not always the actual number of views reflects one or the other projects popularity, since sometimes the older projects may not be so popular but still get more views due to them being online longer. So here i am making a popularity ratio instead, which is counted by an average vies per day the project was launched. At first, here is a full data of B-T projects listed showing the name, dauly views average, the date of starting, the total days of being active and the overall views:
7 Nights - 86.5 (03/12/2008 - 118 Days) - 10,202 times
Baccano - 109.8 (03/22/2008 - 108 Days) - 11,862 times
Clannad - 332.3 (01/22/2007 - 533 Days) - 177,126 times.
Fate/stay night - 138.4 (05/04/2008 -65 Days) - 8,998 times.
Fate/Zero - 266.0 (03/27/2007 - 468 Days) - 124,520 times.
Ghost Hunt - 81.0 (02/10/2008 -149 Days) - 12,073 times.
Iriya no Sora - 17.3 (07/13/2006 - 726 Days) - 12,580 times.
Kara no Kyoukai - 129.4 (07/20/2006 - 719 Days) - 93,029 times.
Kaze no Stigma - 125.4 (05/28/2007 - 406 Days) - 50,891 times.
Kino no Tabi - 64.3 (06/05/2008 - 33 Days) - 2,121 times.
Maria-sama ga Miteru - 195.0 (03/26/2008 - 104 Days) 20,276 times.
Suzumiya Haruhi - 2217.2 (04/15/2006 - 814 Days) 1,804,796 times.
Suzumiya Haruki no Seitenkan - 230.2 (03/12/2008 - 118 Days) - 27,163 times.
Spice & Wolf - 266.6 (02/07/2008 - 152 Days) - 40,513 times.
Tomoyo After - 146.2 (06/04/2008 - 34 Days) - 4,970 times.
Toradora! - 874.8 (04/16/2008 - 83 Days) - 72,606 times.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 223.7 (01/20/2008 - 170 Days) 26,847 times.
Zero no Tsukaima - 424.5 (08/08/2006 - 700 Days) - 297,147 times.
Now the first top list based on daily Views average:
01. Suzumiya Haruhi - 2217.2
02. Toradora! - 874.8
03. Zero no Tsukaima - 424.5
04. Clannad - 332.3
05. Spice & Wolf - 266.6
06. Fate/Zero - 266.0
07. Suzumiya Haruki no Seitenkan - 230.2
08. Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 223.7
09. Maria-sama ga Miteru - 195.0
10. Tomoyo After - 146.2
11. Fate/stay night - 138.4
12. Kara no Kyoukai - 129.4
13. Kaze no Stigma - 125.4
14. Baccano - 109.8
15. 7 Nights - 86.5
16. Ghost Hunt - 81.0
17. Kino no Tabi - 64.3
18. Iriya no Sora - 17.3
Some might say that relatively new projects like Toradora has higher advantage as they are new ones and thus naturally (if translations are speedy enough) gain more views. Thus it is not so fair for older projects thus here is the second top list based on views in general:
01. Suzumiya Haruhi - 1,804,796 times.
02. Zero no Tsukaima - 297,147 times.
03. Clannad - 177,126 times.
04. Fate/Zero - 124,520 times.
05. Kara no Kyoukai - 93,029 times.
06. Toradora! - 72,606 times.
07. Kaze no Stigma - 50,891 times.
08. Spice & Wolf - 40,513 times.
09. Suzumiya Haruki no Seitenkan - 27,163 times.
10. Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 26,847 times.
11. Maria-sama ga Miteru - 20,276 times.
12. Iriya no Sora - 12,580 times.
13. Ghost Hunt - 12,073 times.
14. Baccano - 11,862 times
15. 7 Nights - 10,202 times
16. Fate/stay night - 8,998 times.
17. Tomoyo After - 4,970 times.
18. Kino no Tabi - 2,121 times.
Now we are still not clear about general position of some projects in popularity thats why I am putting ratio points here to solve that problem. Each novel gets point for their position so lets say first place gets 18 points, second - 17 and so on. Since there are two top lists the optimal number of points (for two first places) is 36. To get ratio points we divide the points that project received from the optimal number of points to get the ratio points. The max of ratio points is 1.00. So here we go the final top list based on ratio points. If ratio is the same the advantage goes to that novel series which had highest position in either of the toplist. If highest positions were the same then advantage goes to the one that has higher daily views average.
So here is the final toplist, which hopefully answers once and for all which projects are currently the most popular on B-T, based on ratio points:
01. Suzumiya Haruhi - 1.00
02. Zero no Tsukaima - 0.92
03. Clannad - 0.86
04. Toradora! - 0.83
05. Fate/Zero - 0.78
06. Spice & Wolf - 0.70
07. Suzumiya Haruki no Seitenkan - 0,61
08. Kara no Kyoukai - 0.58
09. Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 0.56
10. Kaze no Stigma - 0.50
11. Maria-sama ga Miteru - 0.50
12. Tomoyo After - 0.31
13. Fate/stay night - 0.31
14. Baccano - 0.28
15. Ghost Hunt - 0.25
16. Iriya no Sora - 0.22
17. 7 Nights - 0.22
18. Kino no Tabi - 0.08
Feel free to discuss the method I used or the results, if they are surprising or if they were exactly what you expected.
For me there is no real surprises but the fact that Clannad still has higher ratio than Toradora. But I would say not for long with the way the things are going right now. ZnT may be still a long shot for Toradora now but Clannad should not be able to keep the third place for much longer.
I am bit surprised by the relatively low position of Spice and Wolf, was expecting the project to be at least one position higher.
All others were what I expected, maybe bit surprised with Maria-sama ga Miteru's rather high position.
The most simple way is to count general views, but as we know not always the actual number of views reflects one or the other projects popularity, since sometimes the older projects may not be so popular but still get more views due to them being online longer.
