The clear winner was "Kizuna Eye: Ariru of Kizuna, Second Season," which depicts the activities of virtual artists who long for Kizuna Eye. The number of characters in this highly entertaining work has been increasing, with flashy live scenes appearing in every episode, and Akiba Research Institute has been involved in many support projects since the first season, so it received more than twice as many votes as the second place.
With plans for live performances in the future, there is no doubt that the show will continue to gain momentum. Keep an eye out for it.

In second place was "WITCH ON THE HERO'S WIFE SEASON 2 (2nd season)," which has been a long-running series since 2016, and continues the story set in the "academy" from the first season.

Third place went to "Shinobainai! Cryptoninja Sakuya ". This work is slowly becoming more and more interesting, and is full of flavor. During this voting period, the original author, Mr. Ikehaya, called for votes on X, and fans were united! The work gathered so many votes that at one point it was almost at the top of the list.

While the top three entries in this year's poll were particularly popular, the top four and below were also lined up with a variety of popular works.

No. 4 "SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF" is an anime produced by Science SARU and distributed by Netflix. The cool visuals of a foreign anime, the appeal of characters typical of Japanese anime, and the distinctive direction of Science SARU make this work quite a spectacle.

Fifth place went to "Hajimete no Okoku," with its impressive severe setting and excessive depiction of action. The original story is still going on, and the anime reached its end in the middle of the story. We definitely look forward to the second season.

In sixth place was "Bikkuri Men. It is a completely new anime based on the "Bikkuriman" series, which is well-known to people over 40 years old. Will there be a seal development with the characters from this work...?

No. 7 "Hikikomari Vampire Princess in Agony" is a story about a reclusive vampire princess (who is not good with blood) who is forced to command a large army! This is a funny anime based on a novel. It is a funny anime based on a novel, with a good balance of lighthearted gag elements and battle elements.

No. 8 "Berserk of Binge Eating" is a work in which the protagonist, who was placed at the bottom of the caste system, gains skills and overcomes his adversaries. The exciting content may become a bit addictive, as it helps to relieve pent-up resentment.

No. 9 "16-bit Sensation: ANOTHER LAYER " is a unique work that is a time-release and work story based on a bishojo game set in Akihabara in the 80s and 90s. However, the story takes a shocking sci-fi turn toward the end. It was a work that one could not take one's eyes off every time.

Coming in at No. 10 was "Shinkage no Kyojin: The Final Season Complete (Part 2). What in the world does the second part of the final season mean? But at any rate, "Shinkage no Kyojin" has come to its conclusion. It was a very happy anime work in that it was fully visualized from beginning to end.

As you can see, a wide range of genres of works ranked high in this year's Anime Popularity Poll, and there are also some notable works below 11th place, so please check them out.
