The results of the "2016 Winter Anime Competitiveness Popularity Poll" have been announced! A big wave -- No. 1 is "Bubuki Blanki", the 30th most popular anime, and No. 2 is "Konosuba", the 22nd most popular anime!

Akiba Research Institute's anime portal "Anipota" held a poll from January 28 to February 21 for the "2016 Winter Anime Power Popularity Poll," and we are pleased to report the final results.


This is a voting project to select works that were interesting to watch and works that we would like to continue watching in the future from among new anime broadcasted in winter 2016 (from January 2016). The following new works were selected for the poll: "Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju," which depicts the world of rakugo in the Showa period (1926-1989); "Dare ga Shigatsu," in which nostalgic sweets with real names appear; "GATE: The Self Defense Forces, This Land, This Battle (2nd season)," whose first season was very popular; "Activraid: Mobile Assault Room No. 8," an original police story; "Haruchika," a mystery series with a brass band; and "HARUCHIKA: Haruta and Chika," which is a story of a young girl who plays in a brass band and a young man who is a detective. Haruchika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun suru", Kyoani's latest work "The Phantom World of the Colorless", Sanzigen's 10th anniversary work "Bubuki Blanki", GM Ochiai's first son Fuchsi-kun's first regular anime "Ashes to Grimgaru of Illusion", etc. All 38 works on air were subject to voting.

The first place winner was "Bubuki Blanki" with 1,286 votes. It is an original animation commemorating the 10th anniversary of the animation studio "Sanzigen," and depicts in full CG animation the battles of boys and girls who have acquired different powers through "Bubuki," a weapon with a will. It was around 10th place from the start of the voting until midway through the voting, but on February 16, it surged into the top 3. It was ranked in the top 3 on February 16th, surpassing "Bless This Wonderful World! which had been in the lead until then, and was crowned the winner. It was ranked 30th in the popularity poll on the level of expectations prior to the start of the broadcast.


In a close second was "Bless This Wonderful World! The second place went to "Bless This Wonderful World! This is an unusual fantasy in which the main character, an ordinary adventurer, aims to defeat the Demon King by forming a party with a goddess whose only skills are recovery magic and banquet entertainment, a wizard with a twisted case of chuunibyou, and a dominant crusader who has all her abilities focused on defense. Although it narrowly failed to reach the top spot, it has been the most prominent in this season, leading the top group as soon as the voting started. It was ranked 22nd in the pre-broadcast expectations popularity poll.


In third place, away from the top two, was "Bokutoku dake ga inai machi" (Only I'm Not There) with 964 votes. As it is a new genre of time reversal suspense, the excitement is expected to increase as the story progresses. It was ranked seventh in the pre-broadcast expectations popularity poll.
