First place went to " Liar Liar, " an anime based on a light novel. Set on an island where winning a duel earns one a place at the top of the school's hierarchy, the main characters must lie and cheat to survive, and the thrilling plotline of this work rapidly increased in votes toward the end of the voting period to take first place.
The fact that the anime ended while still in the middle of the original story means that we are definitely looking forward to the second season.

In second place was the terrestrial version of " TIGER & BUNNY 2. The Netflix version that was distributed earlier was well received, but the terrestrial version broadcast on NHK was also very popular. The visual revisions, such as the removal of the placement of corporate logos on the heroes' suits, and other visual changes from the distributed version, were also a topic of discussion, but there was no change in the enjoyment of the drama itself! However, there was no change in the enjoyment of the drama itself!

These two works were by far the top, but many votes were also cast for a variety of works in third place and below.

Third place went to " Feirenzai -Kamisama no Nichijo," which received many votes as some viewers seemed to warm to the slightly comical interactions between the gods living in human society.

In fourth place was " Kanojo, orenzai " ( I borrow your girlfriend), now in its third season. Even in its third season, the conflicts that arise from the relationship between the "rental girlfriend and the customer" and the depiction of the frustrating psychology are still sharp! It remains to be seen how the relationship between Chizuru and Kazuya will develop in the future.

In fifth place, "AYAKA" and"Sugar Apple Fairy Tail (2nd Cool)" tied for the same number of votes. Both of these works have a compelling storyline and beautiful visuals!

AYAKA" was a fun work not only for its powerful action scenes, but also for its slightly incongruous island scenery and lifestyle, even though it is set in modern Japan.

Sugar Apple Fairy Tail " continued to impress with its soft colors and careful artwork from the first season. Expectations are high for the third season.

Seventh place went to " Spriggan. Like "TIGER & BUNNY 2," this is a terrestrial version of a work that was previously distributed on Netflix. Fans were moved to tears by the hard-hitting sci-fi action in the anime, which was originally based on a popular manga! Fans must have been moved to tears!

Eighth place went to " Gyaku Isekai Tensei Agent Eko-san," a short anime with a unique groove created more by the interesting situations and the cast's interactions with each other than by the action.

Two robot animation works ranked in at No. 9.

Beast Wars: Transformers Again " is a rebroadcast of a work originally broadcast in 1997. The performances of the now veteran voice actors from their younger days, when they were too free, are still fresh in my mind even when I watch it now. After all, interesting things are always interesting!

And " Mech Cadets " is a Netflix original. It depicts the struggles of boys and girls who aim to become robot pilots. It is full of situations and battles that are irresistible to those who love realistic robot anime, so if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out.

Don't miss the votes cast for many more anime below 11th place!
