Oricon Biz conducted an inquiry about this year's anime titles with high expectations among the people in the anime industry. Questionnaires were collected from people working for anime magazines, music labels, TV companies, and anime journalism.

Top: The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya
 The movie draws attentions of the editors of the anime magazines and the anime article writers. Oricon asserted its assured success.

Second: Durarara!!
 This title is uncommon as a light novel-based anime that it mainly targets at female audience. The manga adaptation serialized in Monthly G Fantasy will bring more fans.

Third: So・Ra・No・Wo・To
 The anime industry people who voted for this title wish its success rather than foresee it. Anime producers long for a great hit of an original work.

Shaft titles also collected good number of votes reflecting the enormous hit of Bakemonogatari.

Other noteworthy titles:
Bakuman
Katanagatari
Arakawa Under the Bridge
Angel Beats!
Dance in the Vampire Bund
Hetalia Axis Powers the Movie
