In a lineup of very strong titles, the first place went to "The Mamari Isekai Life of a Former Brave Candidate Who Was a Cheat from Lv. 2".
The main character was reborn in another world as a hero candidate, but his specs were so low that he was sent to a remote area. However, after defeating a slime and leveling up, he suddenly gained a cheat status! ...This is the kind of setting that everyone envies. This is a game with a setting that will make anyone envious.
The season is a mixture of expectations and anxieties, which is probably why there were many anime fans who sympathized and yearned for this season.

In second place was the first ever female bicycle race anime "Rinkai! which is based on a real-life bicycle race track. This work, based on an actual bicycle race track, depicts the friendly rivalry between girls who compete in bicycle races, and is said to be a very serious sports anime. The gap between the gorgeous design of the characters and the muddy sports story is expected to be exciting. Personally, I was surprised by the character design of the rather gangly thighs, and at the same time, I cannot help but feel the seriousness of the staff of this work. I look forward to seeing the girls, who devote their lives to bicycle racing, engage in a serious clash of emotions.

Third place went to "Jellyfish Can't Swim at Night. Four girls who excel in their respective genres, such as singing and illustration, but continue to smolder. The girls bring their respective specialties together and start their activities as a single anonymous artist. The subject matter is truly unique to the "now. It is also noteworthy that the film was produced by Video Studio, which is also well known for its work on "[Mystery Child]".

As you can see, the top three titles in this year's poll are all new, but there are also many sequels and reboots in the Spring 2024 season.

3" is a slapstick fantasy anime with a scrappy hero, Kazuma, and heroines who have nothing but disappointing elements. This is the long-awaited third season. From the synopsis, it looks as if Kazuma's bad character will be on display from the very beginning of the anime. We look forward to seeing the same unconventional and out-of-the-box style!

No. 5 "Wolf and Spice merchant meets the wise wolf" is a fantasy anime based on a light novel that dominated the 2000s. This is a reboot of that work. However, the main cast follows the past work with Jun Fukuyama and Ami Koshimizu. The latest images depict the activities of familiar characters. The gimmick of this work is its use of the economy, which is unusual for a fantasy film. This time, too, we are sure to enjoy a spectacular drama.

Let's take a look at the top six and below.

No. 6 "Unnamed Memory" is an anime adaptation of a popular light novel that has been highly acclaimed in various novel prize races. In order to break the curse that prevents him from producing offspring, the crown prince Oscar visits the tower of the "Blue Moon Witch" Tinasya and conquers a test that will grant him whatever he desires if he overcomes it. What he wants is to take Tinasya as his wife. This down-to-earth fantasy drama is a must-see.

No. 7 "Jantama KAN! is an anime adaptation based on the popular mahjong application "Jangtama. Following the previous work "Jantama PONG☆," the slapstick story with many characters is sure to be enjoyable.

No. 8 "Yuru Can △ SEASON 3" is a new series with a renewed staff from SEASON 2 and the movie version. It is hard to take one's eyes off the reborn "YuruCan△".

Sentai Daiyakkatsu", which came in at No. 8 with the same number of votes, is a comedic work based on a special effects hero story. The conflict between the enemy organization and the heroes is actually a farce! This unpredictable work about a monster ...... who rebels against such a situation is a must-see not only for animation fans but also for tokusatsu fans.

At No. 10 is "Seiyu Radio no Ura omote" (Behind the Scenes of Seiyu Radio). This is the first ever "voice actor radio" anime that depicts the backstage of popular voice actor radio. Radio listeners will surely find this work irresistible, as it includes some of the most common and unexpected episodes of radio. This is another promising work that is sure to hit the spot of anime and voice actor fans.
