No. 3 Flagship!Kemonomichi 3066 votes

No.10 Careful Yusha - This brave guy is too careful for my TUEEE - 2020 votes


In this year's poll, which garnered a total of 35986 votes, the top vote-getter was "Honkaku no Gekkoukoujo: I Can't Choose My Means to Become a Librarian.
Although the style of this work was rather subdued for a work about a reincarnation in another world, this work, in which the main character uses his knowledge of the real world to bring technological innovations to a medieval fantasy world, was full of fun that satisfied the intellectual curiosity of men and women of all ages. The universal storyline was good, but the down-to-earth medieval European-style worldview and small human drama were also irresistible elements for fantasy anime lovers. The theme song and accompanying music are also wonderful, and all the elements work together beautifully to make this an unquestionable work.
This is a work that should be seen by all without preconceptions. A second season has already been decided, and we can hardly wait for its broadcast!

Next in popularity was "Rifle is Beautiful. This sports story about a beam rifle competition vividly depicts high school girls who devote their youth to the sport. The cute characters were great, but the cast members who played the main characters were also very attractive. The cast included machico, who unexpectedly played the main character for the first time; Akane Kumada, a promising rookie; Saki Minami, a hot young voice actress popular for her various works; and Anna Yamaki, who formed a voice actress unit called Life Ring 4 to sing songs in the play. They have been energetically performing live concerts since before the anime aired.
The fact that both the anime and the real-life activities of the voice actors have attracted a dedicated fan base may have contributed to the No. 2 ranking.

The third place went to "Flagging! Kemonomichi. At first glance, the incomprehensible combination of "otherworldly reincarnation," "kemoner," and "pro-wrestling" may have had many people thinking, "What are you talking about?" But once the lid was opened, it was a wonderful work, full of passionate love for pro-wrestling and kemono, that both made us laugh and burn (moe).
In addition, it seems that in the Fall 2019 anime season, the popularity of works with a pattern of being XX-kei or ...... was also high.

For example, "Nurupeta" (No. 4) may seem like a slapstick comedy at first glance, but I was healed by the affection of "Peta," the older sister who approaches with overwhelming receptiveness (although sometimes her tenderness seemed horrifying ......), and No. 6 "Watashi wo wo I like you only?" was a "yes, yes, it's the usual harem-type anime," but the heroines' words and actions and the black-hearted hero's thoughts betrayed my expectations with ease. The first impression of " I told you that my abilities were average, didn't I! (No. 7) and "Careful Yusha (Careful Yusha!) " (No. 10), in which the monstrous performance by Aki Toyosaki as LISTALTE was impressive, were also soul-stirring because of their serious and passionate plot development towards the end of the story. As shown above, the top ranking works are those that strike a strong counterattack when the viewer was caught off guard.
This betrayal in a positive sense must have left a strong impression on viewers.
On the other hand, there was a straight comedy like No. 9, "Ma-iru-shita, Iruma-kun! Iruma-kun" at No. 9 was also popular.

Other works that showcased girls' dramas were also popular, such as No. 5 "After School Dice Club," which depicts the daily lives and friendships of high school girls through analog games, and "Kandagawa JET GIRLS," directed by boob-portrayal expert Hiraku Kaneko, which vividly portrays girls in a glamorous pose through water sports. The film also vividly depicts girls' glamorous figures through water sports.
