During this campaign period, we have already received reviews from many users, and among them, we would like to introduce the current evaluation status of the "2015 Winter Anime" that ended this past March.

First, let's take a look at the top rated works. The reviews listed here are those that have been submitted by multiple users as of April 7, 2015, and have a rating of 4 or higher (on a 5-point scale).

OVA Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel -Kyun Kyun☆Tokimeki Paradise! ～OVA Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel (5.00)
Yurikuma Arashi (4.83)
Yoru no Yatterman (4.70)
PSYCHO-PASS THE MOVIE (4.50)
Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin I Casbal of the Blue Eyes (4.50)
PURE MARIA (4.50)
JoJo`s Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders Egypt (4.36)
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 the Movie: Ark of the Stars (4.25)
NARUTO THE MOVIE "THE LAST" (4.00)

Currently, only "OVA Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel -Kyun Kyun☆Tokimeki Paradise! ~" is the only one. This is a long-lived work in which the characters are active for pachislot machines produced by Sammy, and there are many fans of this series. It is currently at the top of the list, with the story and drawings also rated at a high level.

Next in line, with a high rating of 4.83, is "Yurikuma Arashi," which was also a hot topic this winter. Little information was revealed prior to the broadcast, and even after it began airing, the storyline, with its mystery leading to mystery, and its unique fairy-tale worldview, captivated the hearts of many fans. Directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara, who dominated with "Rinru Ping Drum.

Also rated high at 4.70 is "Yoru no Yatterman," produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the "Time Bokan" series. Until the start of the broadcast, we had no idea what kind of work it would be, but when we opened the door, we found that it was a very satisfying work for both traditional fans and non-fans alike, combining a quite profound story with the comical development that is typical of Yatterman. It is a dark horse of this season.

In addition to the above, the theater version also received high acclaim this season. PSYCHO-PASS the Movie," a completely new version of the popular anime "PSYCHO-PASS," and "Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin I: Casbal of the Blue Eyes," based on Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's novel that depicts the world before the first Gundam, were also highly rated by core anime fans. On the other hand, the "Gundam I: The Blue Eyes of Casbal," which was written by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and depicts the world before the first Gundam, is highly evaluated by core anime fans.

Conversely, here are the three worst rated works at this point in time. These are also basically those for which multiple users have submitted reviews, and those with a rating score of 3 or less have been extracted.

Forbidden Spell Chanting by the Holy Sword User (2.17)
Aldnoah Zero (2nd Cool) (2.42)
Contractor of the New Sister Demon King (2.75)

Unfortunately, the worst at the moment is "Forbidden Chant of the Holy Sword User. Although the setting itself, in which the characters awaken their abilities while recalling memories of their previous lives, was highly regarded, the gradual shift to harem and the lack of stable artwork were the reasons for the low rating. Similarly, "New Sister Demon King's Contractor" was also rated low due to the fact that it had too many erotic elements (the way it was handled was controversial) and the story was flat.

The second season of "Aldnoah Zero," which attracted a lot of attention in its first season and was expected to have a second season despite the controversy, also unexpectedly received a low rating, However, the ending did not live up to the fans' expectations, and many said it was somewhat disappointing.

Of course, the campaign period has only just started in the second half, so these evaluations may change drastically in the future. If you have watched any anime in the past year, not only these winter anime, please take this opportunity to post your honest opinions on "AniPota".
