In the first cool of 2023, " Sugar Apple Fairy Tale " was particularly popular.

The story centers on a girl named Anne, who aspires to become a first-rate silver candlestick maker, and Char, a warrior fairy who travels with her, and depicts a variety of human relationships. It was especially popular for its careful character portrayal and intriguing drama, which can be enjoyed over the course of a single season.
Personally, I would like to emphasize that the scenery art, with its light, watercolor-like touch, is very elegant and captivating.
The second season is scheduled to start airing in July, so if you haven't seen it yet, please take this opportunity to check it out.

The second place winner, competing with "Sugar Apple Fairy Tail" was " Ojisan wa Oshita! The second-place finisher was "Sugar Apple Fairy Tale.

A NEET brother becomes a JK with a medicine made by his sister! The OP, ED, and animation were all "cute! The OP, ED, and animations are "cute! and "It's so cute! Although it ended up in second place, it was probably the most talked-about work of the winter cool season in terms of the instantaneous wind speed during the broadcast. Without a doubt, it can be said that this is the work that will represent the winter cool of 2023.

Following in the footsteps of the top two was the NETFLIX-distributed anime " Aggressive RYOKO" Season 5, which garnered the most votes.

Many viewers may have sympathized with the life of a working adult, which is a hard life, portrayed by Sanrio's fancy character, Aggressive Retsuko. The fact that Season 5 is the final season of the series is probably a major reason for this.

Ars no Kyoju " came in at No. 5 with its magnificent worldview and large scale action. DMM.com, which operates DMM TV, launched at the end of last year, is the original creator of this work, and DMM TV is the first to distribute the video. We can expect many more high-profile titles to be released by this service in the future.

Coming in at No. 6 was " The Last Summoner" (Japanese dubbed version ). Based on a Chinese web manga, this work is mainly distributed (TV broadcast only on AT-X).
While strongly influenced by Japanese anime, the exotic character design and storyline must have been strangely addictive to many viewers. The fact that foreign and distributed anime ranked high in the list cannot help but remind us of the times.

The top seven were very close, with only one vote separating the top seven.

Seventh place was " RVENGER," a period drama anime with a script by Gen Urobuchi, known for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and other works. This is the "Yuubuchi section"! The "RVENGER" is a must-see for its gruesome human drama.

In 10th place is " Mono no Gatari," one of the most popular works in the "Which anime would you like to watch in the winter of 2023?
