Final Fall 2011 Tier List

So here is the final Fall 2011 Tier List. This fall introduced a slew of anime original titles mixed with adaptations of popular manga, visual novels, and light novels. Furthermore, this season saw a lot of titles jump around with some shows starting off strong yet ending up like trash and vice-versa.

Without further ado, here is the final list. [+/- #] next to the name of a series means how much the series has moved from its initial spot when the season/list first began. To be fair for shows that ended this season, shows continuing on and through the summer season will be limited to their 12th or 13th episode (except Suite Precure because of its different airing pattern). Note that this list does not include Gintama 2011, Inazuma Eleven Go, Danbooru Senki, Battle Spirit Heroes, Duel Masters Victory, Pokemon Best Wishes, Shimanchu MiRiKa, Cross Fight B-Daman, Metal Fight Beyblade 4D, and Jewelpet Sunshine as I have not seen these shows. Zero no Tsukaima KessaKusen has also been excluded as it is merely a recap series.

Important Tier List Disclosure: The tier list is a list of series ranked from best to worst based on the overall series performance throughout its current season relative to all other titles in the current season. It is in essence a "prediction" list. The final tier list is a series's final placement and is meant to compare with its initial prediction from the beginning of the season.
