The unbeatable champion… The legend for all times.
While testing archives[1], I found an old post, mostly dealing with the surprising hold ef had on my imagination. With ef firmly in the past, sounds like a perfect opportunity for a little side-by-side.

Honestly, I find it shocking that ef and Lucky Star managed to keep it up. They were shown so long ago. Also, ef was under an intentional handicap where I avoided blogging about it, or merged several posts into one. And it’s still on the top.
If counters were reset, Toradora would’ve been the champion. And I don’t even like it all that much. I suspect that a big part of it is in the endless discussions with inattentive bloggers caught by surprise by its ending. And Strike Witches, well… The last hurray of GONZO was really big until it crashed in the usual GONZO fasion.
The new king… The legend of our days.
[1] Wordpress 2.8.4 broke posts_nav_link: using an empty string as argument makes it to produce the default value instead of nothing as before. I fixed archives by replacing it with next_posts_link and previous_posts_link, which do not rely on empty strings in arguments. Then I ran a random check of archives and saw the post linked above.
