Although many titles that have achieved great popularity are lost, the survey was conducted only in Japan, but do you think the titles were the most popular in the last 10 years??

"Amazing" that so much junk anime becomes popular.

Edit - Fate, Index and Rebuild Evangelion it came before 2010. It doesn't even make sense to be on this list.

SAO is really different breed in Japan, although most outsiders hate SAO but that doesn't change the fact that it's the most popular show in Japan. I'm glad some of my favorite anime like Oregairu, Re Zero and AOT are on the list.

I love how Japan doesn't care about overrated anime here like FMAB.

That's why Japan is the best country in the world.

Fmab came before 2010 or it would've been up there.

I'm happy to see Steins;Gate, Fate, and Violet Evergarden on this list honestly I know Fate is huge in Japan but I didn't think Steins;Gate and especially Violet Evergarden would even be on this list. Also didn't Fate/Stay Night come out in like 2006 or is this Unlimited Blades Works they are referring too which I assume it is. Also I'm really surprised I don't see Demon Slayer on this list at all.

Wait wtf? How didn't I noticed this? Didn't Demon slayer came out in like 2019? So it should be valid to be up there.

@ProxyLain @Scordolo @CyborgSaber
I'm also wondering about Rebuild of Evangelion why is it on the list?? do they count the Movies that have just been released?? I don't know either, but for Fate/stay night and Toaru majutusu no Index it looks like they took the whole series like unlimited blade words, Heaven Fells and Index 2 & Index 3. for Kimetsu no Yaiba I'm also surprised it's not on the list with Jujutsu Kaisen which is on the rise right now. if you are curious you can check it yourself in the link that I put in my first post.

Its nice to see SnK so high but what's actually surprising is that KnY and JJK are not in the list, did they forgot to put them on the poll?

so to be clear, this isn't an estimation of the most popular by some metric, but a survey that asks japanese fans what they THINK is the most popular? if i got that right then pretty interesting i guess.

as others mentioned, it's really weird how many prominent battle shounen from last decade didn't show up, i was under the impression that it's popular in japan to a somewhat similar degree as globally. don't know if that impression was wrong, or if it's just not what japanese fans think of, when it comes to their perception of the most popular anime, unlike here.

Eva 3.0 aired in 2010s. I am not sure why many questioning this.
And more obvious with Fate. Adaptations from ufotable technically made new wave of popularity.

SAO is also the most popular anime OUTSIDE Japan.

If you take away the moe and slice of life anime on the list it is a pretty good list. I can`t believe people like Hyouka. Gochuumon is probably more so enjoyed by lolicons than for the content of thd anime. Guilty Crown is the worst non slice of life on the list.

I know for a fact this list is not legit, as Tiger & Bunny (released in 2011) in not on it, yet My Hero Academia is. T&B is one of the most popular anime over in Japan. Meanwhile, MHA is not nearly as popular there at it is in the west.

I'm also fairly certain Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan are far less popular in Japan than they are in the west. So, yea, this list is highly suspect. But it was done on Twitter, so what do you expect?

Agree. The majority of the SAO hate comes from outside Japan. Meanwhile there are only a few SAO haters in Japan.

It brings a smile to see SAO topping above all other anime. Also Japanese seems to have proper taste of anime than western fanbase who only knows how to mock and disparage other hard work that also by consuming in free basically. I bet if any of the SAO haters have even watched SAO anime before loathing on it or they just jump to the hate bandwagon with watching after some SAO hate video in YT. Perhaps, they only know the words called Mary sue or Dues ex Machina since that words are pretty common in every SAO hate post. Big L to the SAO haters.
