Let's support anime works and voice actors who are doing their best in the Corona disaster by voting!　Vote for the voice actors who will play the leading roles in the Spring 2020 anime! Female version" has started!

Starting today, April 16, 2020, Akiba Research Institute will hold its annual official poll, "Which voice actor is your favorite for this season? 2020 Spring Anime Leading Voice Actor Popularity Poll! Female version" started today. The voting period will last for two weeks until April 29.

Spring anime has already started in April. This season, due to the spread of the new coronavirus, some productions have postponed the start of their broadcasts, but not a few of them have started well. With people being urged to refrain from going out, people are spending more time at home, and in such a situation, anime works provided as entertainment are valuable for spending an enjoyable time. I would like to give a shout out to all the staff members who are producing anime productions, even more so than during the normal season.

Now, for this season's spring anime, I have nominated only the female voice actors who play the leading characters in each work. We would like you to vote for the voice actresses you would like to see in these works! We would like you to vote for the voice actresses you would like to see in the show. Each person can cast up to seven votes, so you can either give your vote to your favorite voice actress or split it among several voice actresses. Please note that you will need an Akiba Research Institute member ID to vote (free of charge).

As for this season's notable anime, the Akiba Research Institute's official voting project "2020 Spring Anime Popularity Poll" held the other day showed that "Jyakami-chan Drop Kick'" ( CV: Aina Suzuki, Himasa Omori, etc.) was ranked first by a landslide, and many sequels to popular works were also ranked high (some of them were works that were postponed). (Some of these works have been postponed.) Other noteworthy works included "Honkaku no Gekkoujo: To be a Librarian, You Can't Choose Your Means (Part 2)" ( CV: Yuka Iguchi, Mutsushin Tamura, etc.), "Kaguya-sama ga Tsurenasai Desu ka? ～ ( CVs: Aoi Koga, Yoshimi Ohara, etc.), "Fruits Basket 2nd season" (CVs: Mainaka Ishimi, Rena Ueda, etc.), "Shokugeki no Soma Go No Dare" (CVs: HisakoKanemoto, Minami Takahashi, etc.), "Idolish Seven Second BEAT! (CV: Satomi Sato, etc.) are the most likely candidates.

As for new releases, "Hachio, That's Not True! (CVs: Asuka Nishi, Mikako Komatsu, M.A.O., etc.), "LISTENERS Listeners " (CVs: RiyoTakahashi, Rie Kugimiya, Kana Hanazawa, etc.), "Kakushigoto" (CVs: Riyo Takahashi, etc.), "Kyuuei" (CVs: Kaori Maeda, Satomi Amano, etc.), "Tenharuka! (CV: Aoi Yuuki, Ten Amamiya, etc.), "BNA BNA" (CV: Sumire Moroboshi, etc.), "Yesterday wo utatte" (CV: Yume Miyamoto, KanaHanazawa, etc.), "Grapnir" (CV: Nao Higashiyama, Kana Hanazawa, etc.), "New Sakura Wars the Animation" (CV: Ayane Sakura, Marei Uchida, Saori Hayami, etc.) and others.

The votes are likely to swing heavily toward the female voice actors starring in these works, but the interesting thing about this poll is that it does not unfold as expected. However, the interesting thing about this poll is that it does not always turn out as expected. In any case, during this time of year when we are often at home, we would like you to watch various anime works and vote for the voice actors who played your favorite characters.

We are looking forward to your hot votes!
