I remember Haruhi, FMP, and Bakatesuto also ranked first before.

I checked who ranked first historically

2005 : Suzumiya Haruhi Series (sneaker bunko)
2006 Zaregoto Series ( Koudansha Novels)
2007 Ookami to Koushinryou (Dengeki Bunko)
2008 Full Metal Panic (fujimi fantasia bunko)
2009 Bungaku Shoujo series (Famitsu Bunko)
2010 Baka to test to shoukanjuu (Famitsu Bunko)
2011 To aru majutsu no Index (dengeki bunko)
2012 Sword art online (dengeki bunko)
2013 Sword art online (dengeki bunko)

-> gagaga bunko never ranked first; it's been four year that another publisher than dengeki bunko managed to get the first place; and even before that it was famitsu two times in a row.

If even Asuna could not beat Mikoto during the dominance of SAO the previous year, I really doubt anyone can do so given the existence of the Rinse and Repeat Volume 3 for 10 years Railgun anime

Well, let's see if MF J can make it to first. The closest it got was Haganai at second for 2011.

Nah, still need to beat Hideyoshi for that category. It was practically ranked 4th in the girls category the previous year (if we combined all the votes).

I'll be happy if it simply is still in the top 50. It seems to have gathered more fans lately so maybe it still managed to enter the top without the help of the voters from the industry.
Too bad media works bunko's title cannot enter the ranking. I'm curious to see how well would fare Biblia koshodou, and I would have liked to see Reinousha Minato in there.

BTW... It's been a while since something else than a title from dengeki bunko ranked first. And first time a gagaga bunko title ranks first.

Biblia would take number 1 for sure if MW bunko title can enter the ranking Well, joking aside, oregairu is a really unexpected no. 1 for me, but what I'm looking forward the most is what hidden treasure gonna enter the top 10 this time(last time was rokka no yuusha).

[Zefyris]

Note that the year before, it was circlet girl which was pushed by those voters. Wonder if some users here tried that book since then, as I didn't see anyone commenting about it like it happened for Rokka no Yuusha.
So maybe it's better to not expect that every year the title pushed in the top 10 by the voters from the LN industry will be as good as it was in the 2013 ranking...

BTW, the fact that koudansha box are allowed in the ranking but not media works bunko is beyond ridiculous.
How can you not call media works bunko light novel if you're going to call those highly overpriced boxes from Koudansha? I agree that what media works bunko does looks somewhere in the middle between light noves and novels, but it still pretty much looks like light novels. At least, compared to the koudansha boxes.
Buying a 1150 pages book like the Horizon 2 下 from dengeki bunko cost me less than it would cost me to buy a 300 pages volumes boxed with 7 times less color image and like 20 times less black and white illustration from koudansha box. What a revolting rip off.

For the ones bolded. Hell yeah!
Tokyo Raven will be getting more attention which it deserves! And Rokka is also doing incredible since its debut!

For the red. Looks like her streak will continue now. It kinda reminds me of how Lacus Clyne was voted as the best girl in the newtype magazine for years lol.

I myself too never expected this series to be in Top 5, heck to even beat SAO!
This series sure has good potential and I love the story plot in this one~
So far my knowledge is from the manga but I can't wait to see this to be animated!

[longtooth]

wow Danmachi on 4th place

I started to read it recently because of the manga too,
I expected it that it will be in the rankings because its really good but in the top 5 ? .. totally unexpected

[n0m@n]

I just checked the scan that was available on 4chan, so let me say this.
WTF!!!
How the f*** did Horizon end up in 60th place!? Thats bullshit!



Edit: Linked the image so it will be easier to discuss it.
Oh, but Altina ranked 16th, nice. Looks like Madan wasnt able to get in the ranks...

Let me guess it....

I think real-mans that read Horizon are not that much. So, SS3 don't come --> Horizon rank end up like this.

[Acer]

Index fared much better than I expected, I am happy.

[Log]

Wait what's Alderamin and how did it manage to beat Index and SAO when I never heard of it before this?

[Log]

On another note Mikoto doesn't deserve her ranking.

SMFH.

Mikoto, Touma and Accelerator hasn't moved at all for the last few years Index somehow found her way back into the top ten

I guess this year of Raildex helped buy it some popularity thanks to the movie and anime.

[Acer]

but it was a pleasant surprise to see Tsuchimikado in the ranking, well, Index defeated SAO and Touma raped violently Kirito, the rest matter?
