Taking first place by more than double the margin from second place was "Grendizer II. It is a reboot of "UFO Robot Grendizer," an animation based on Go Nagai's original work that shares the same world view as "Mazinger Z" and "Great Mazinger," and is also very popular overseas. In addition to the power of the original work, the strong staff of director Mitsuo Fukuda, character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, series director Ichiro Okochi, and music director Kohei Tanaka are also attracting high expectations.

Second place went to "Until I, who became the strongest with the [abnormal state skill] of the Hazure frame, laid waste to everything. The entire class was transferred to another world as heroes, but only the protagonist was exiled because he had the lowest rank. However, he tries to rise to the top by making full use of abnormal skills such as poison and paralysis! The main character, who never gets up from a bad fall, is a character to watch out for!

Third place went to "ATRI -My Dear Moments-," based on a video game. The long-awaited anime adaptation of the much talked-about tear-jerker game depicts the emotional exchange between a boy who lost his family and one of his legs and a robot girl! It has been a while since an anime adaptation of a so-called "gal game" has been made, so it is also noteworthy in that respect.

Looking at the rankings from No. 4 and below, sequels and new titles were ranked at a 50/50 ratio.

Among the sequels, "Kimi to Boku no Zetsugenjo, or The Last Battlefield of Kimi to Boku, or The Seisen Sekai ga Hajime Seisen II" ( 5th), "Sengoku Yofu: Senma Chao-hen" ( 6th), "[Suishino] (2nd season)" ( 7th) , and"Kimi ni Todoke 3RD SEASON " (10th) rounded out the top 10.

Among them, "Kimi ni Todoke (The Second Season)" has very high expectations since the first season became a worldwide hit. In addition, "Kimi ni Todoke 3RD SEASON" is the first new series in 13 years, so many fans are eagerly waiting for it. This time, too, the sweet and sour romantic drama is sure to be a hit.

New titles were "Koichimin Series" ( No. 4), "Mr. Elf Can't Lose Weight" (No. 8), and " Sometimes I Blurt Out " (No. 9). The new titles were "The Little Citizen Series" at No. 4, " Mr. Elf Can't Lose Weight" at No. 8, "Arya Next Door," at No. 9, and "Dusk Out Focus" at No. 10, all in the same ranking.

The "Little Citizen" series is an anime based on a novel by Honobu Yonezawa of "Hyouka" fame. Like "Hyouka," "Kojimin Series" is a mystery story featuring high school students and is expected to be a hit. In addition, "Mr. Elf Can't Lose Weight," which comically depicts elves who have come to the real world and become buxom from eating too much delicious food. Arya-san next door, who sometimes blurts out Russian," a Russian-language work depicting a beautiful girl who sometimes gets jealous of him, and other works with strong personalities.
