*5-point scale. Works with three or more review submissions were included in the tally.

Continuing from the fall 2015 cool, "Haikyuu!Second Season" and "Utawarerumono: The False Mask," as well as "Assassination Classroom," whose first season and live-action film version are still fresh in our minds, and "Snow White with Red Hair," whose first season was broadcast in summer 2015, dominated the top ranking. Among these, "Assassination Classroom" jumped from outside the mid-ranking to No. 3, thanks to the enthusiastic support of its fans. The fast-paced storyline and unique setting of the series have received consistently high ratings, and the final season, which is currently airing, will be one to keep an eye on.

The top-ranked new work, "Oyaasan ga Shikkouki" (The Landlord is an Adolescent!), which was also unranked in the interim announcement, came in fifth place. A comedy about a junior high school student who becomes the landlord of a 6-mat apartment without a bath, and its residents who live together half the time.

The Oya-san is an adolescent! User reviews (excerpts)
"This is an anime that condenses the cuteness of Oyaesan in a very short time of 2 minutes. The drawings were very well done, and the movements were well drawn, bringing out the cuteness of the character Oyaesan to the fullest. It was a wonderful animation that was very soothing, even though it was only 2 minutes long, and the cuteness was consistent every time.

The next new work from Fuji Television's "Noitamina" slot, "Boku dake ga inai machi " came in at No. 6. This is a time-reversal suspense in which a special phenomenon called "revival" takes viewers back to the past in order to confirm the truth behind the murder of the mother. In contrast to "The Landlord is an Adolescent! is a complex drama that depicts a big mystery throughout its one-cour run and has become a topic of conversation for its unpredictable development. It has received 29 reviews, the most of any of the eligible works, and is highly rated by a wide range of viewers.

・ "Boku dake ga inai machi" user reviews (excerpts)
"I was very nervous while watching it, imagining who the culprit might be. Also, the way it unfolded was shocking, so I was glued to it until the very end!" (Late teens, male)
