As the series has always had a large number of fans, it is only natural that the new title would be the focus of attention. Among these, "Azur Lane," which came in first place, is the only new title.
This title is based on a game application that began service in 2017, and is an anthropomorphic ship in one of the popular genres. It has been highly popular since its service started, and the anime adaptation is a long-awaited one. The response to the recent pre-screening event was positive, and we are very much looking forward to the broadcast of the anime.

In second place was "SWORD ART ONLINE ARISATION: War of Underworld. This is the latest in the well-known "Sword Art Online" series, which follows the adventures of Kirito and other popular characters over the course of two seasons.
Third place went to "My Hero Academia (4th season). The film has received high acclaim for its faithful adaptation of the original work, and is highly supported by fans of both the original comic and the anime. Kenji Nagasaki, who had previously served as director, assumed the role of general director for this production. The director is Masahiro Mukai, who participated in the third season as a director. We look forward to seeing how the battles will be depicted under the new direction.

In fourth through sixth place are works based on video games.
GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation Season 2," which drew much attention for its high-quality artwork in its first season, was in fourth place, followed by "Fate/Grand Order: Babylonia," a visualization of a particularly popular episode from the game, in fifth. Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode Oracle," which reconstructs the early episodes of the game, came in at No. 6, all of which are film adaptations of popular titles that have many fans. Both of these films are adaptations of popular titles that have a large number of fans.

The seventh to ninth place are also the latest titles in the popular series. Coincidentally, they are all in their third season.
No. 7, "The Seven Deadly Sins: The Gods' Reverse Scale," is a fantasy action epic that has also been made into a movie. No. 8 "PSYCHO-PASS: Psycho-Pass 3" is another popular sci-fi crime action series. No. 9 "Chihayafuru 3" is the third anime based on a manga that has also been the subject of a live-action movie. This is the first new anime in six years, so expectations are high.

And at No. 10 was "High Score Girl II. It is a romantic drama about adolescent boys and girls, based on the game scene in the 90s, and is the final part of the series. The balance between subcultural elements and heartbreaking romance is irresistible, and it will be interesting to see how the emotional climax will be visualized.

The 2019 fall anime broadcasts will begin this week, with a variety of topical and noteworthy works. If you're thinking, "I don't know which one to watch!" How about using the results of this poll as a reference?
