Fairly a good number of people voted here, so thought of sharing this http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/05/15-1/havent-you-heard-im-sakamoto-tops-spring-2016-tv-anime-popularity-poll?utm_source=community&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=news

Not surprising to see the top 2, as well as mayoiga not making the list lol.

Woe Macross Delta is way higher than I thought it would be. And it's a bit surprising to see My hero Academy so far down on this list.

No kababeri? Seems it wasn't included in the votes. Pretty sure it would be at #1. And once again hero acadamia isn't in the top 10 and this time there is a lot more voters. I wonder what excuses the hero acadamia fans will make this time?

Are you sure you mean Kabaneri and not Attack on Trainwreck? xD


More like attack on a twelve episode generic action anime with above average action.

It's rubbish isn't it. I like how @Doomdoctor singles out Kabaneri as "generic" when this season has Boku no every shounen ever, RE: highschool recluse is transported to fantasy land -again and Hundred: you've seen 99 identical shows already.

Well, I'm only watching one of those three(RE:Zero) that you mentioned and that IS NOT generic by any definition. But I fail to see anything Kabaneri has to offer to set it apart from the rest except the Steam-punk setting.

Swagamoto is clearly the best, if you disagree, you just don't get HOW swag the show truly is.

The shows u mentioned are more interesting. Anime isnt about originality but execution.

boku no hero lacks both while the other shows at least executes itself well

That's something I could agree on. I can take how other shows are but Sakamoto taking the lead seriously.....

Bnha executes the tropes pretty well, the slow start is to be blamed. Anyway the manga sales are boosted so wsj has nothing to worry.

LOL i think MOST anime fans or otaku in japan only watch anime for the girls, ecchi and harem.
if that's the case, then no wonder Hundred is in the list.

Jokes aside, I really do wonder where BNHA, Bakuon, Steampunk zombie show and Jojo went. I would like to corroborate that suspicion that they aren't available on that streaming service, but I can barely understand spoken japanese, let alone written japanese.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

But does the heart have the right perspective?

Well glad to see Macross Delta so high on the list, Kawamori-Sensei your work never disappoints the Japanese fans. Now I'm just worried about Crystal Season 3. I checked and Kuromukuro, Kabaneri and Super Lovers seem to being doing well, that's a relief but that's not the case for Crystal :/ Are people unsatisfied with the show.

So much stuff isn't even that list; I find it hard to believe Jojo S4, Mayoiga, and Kabaneri are less popular than Onigiri and Lego Ninjago, so there's probably only certain anime that were never even candidates for this list.

Yea those 3 from what I've heard, regardless of how well received they are, were decently popular so I'm a bit curious on how the poll was conducted.

Even with the questioning polling methods I'm glad to see Swagmoto and Re:Zero dominating.
