That's funny. It beat
Death Note, the anime that people claim will be the one dominating the fall season. Death Note, yes, is really good, but I guess people can relate more to a suffering workaholic experiencing quotidian problems than a genius anti-hero. I hope I can see more of
Hataraki Man because I really like it and I hope it won't end up like many other series I've seen ... like Hiatari Ryoukou, for example.
Oh, and nothing beats Chatmonchy. Shangri~la is GOD. Take that, Haruhi Suzumiya.
