Just for comparison with the previous post about anime popularity in Japan, here is a rough guide to the popularity of the new season's anime outside Japan. The index I'm using is the number of posts for each title on the AnimeSuki Forums.Clearly this is very rough, especially since half the shows haven't even been subbed yet (if they ever will be).
