| Pretty surprised to see Tada-kun in the Best TV anime section. |
 |
| That won the best chara-designs? Wow. I suppose you can't really expect much else from a popularity poll though. |
 |
| I disagree with pretty much everything. |
| Tfw you realize Japanese fans are even worse than Western ones |
 |
| As always, Japan makes unusual choices in Anime lol |
| Best TV Anime The iDOLM@STER SideM Next time someone will tell me that fujoshi are not the main fandom in Nippon im gonna slap his bitch ass. |
 |
| Popularity voting, nothing to see here, carry on. |
| As I said before, the anime industry does not care about if the western likes or dislikes a show. Every year we have the same results if I am correct the past year was Fate/Apo now Darling Franxx. If you dislike the selection then ignore it |

If you dislike the selection then ignore it I think no one here is complaining about western opinions not being counted, we are simply expressing our deep displeasure with the taste of the land called Japan. It's like when we every year fear the coming of Santa Claus, cuz we know it's that drunk uncle who beat us every year, but instead of beating, this year he sexually molest us. |

| ah, Kekkai Sensen is there and i’m perfectly fine with it, Japan can go all hard on everything they want because that’s their stuff anyway but YES, KEKKAI SENSEN |

I have a Japanese friends from discord. They themselves expressed confusion with the Japan popularity poll. Basically Japanese taste is the similar in most country especially most of those tittle only appear based on popularity but not quality. Like bruh BnHA3 were pretty bland this season, Persona 5 is pretty bad in general especially art and animation inconsistencies. For character i felt like it also forced popularity, looking at fate fags it's kinda obvious they'll vote for them. Also Hiro doesn't even deserve to be there as generic protagonist and a pain in the ass. There's something better. Also that fujobait lmao. |

| gee at least yorimoi is there whens s2 |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Gochiusa got an award. That's nice. I can't wait for 2020 to come. |
 |
| Given how many people hyped it up, I'm surprised to not see Mahoutsukai no Yome listed anywhere... Best Character Design....Killing Bites is nowhere to be found... And I just noticed that Nanoha Reflection didn't win anything last year. I hope Detonation garners enough attention to get itself listed... |
 |
| stan sidem. give us season 2 |
| sidem fuck yeah s2 when |
 |
| Okay, I get the atrocity that is Dead Apple being voted for by horny fangirls but... DarliFra among the best anime? Yikes |
| Seems like Dead Apple is dominate here. Best Male Character >Chuuya Nakahara (Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple) >Osamu Dazai (Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple) Fujoshi so strong as always. And not suprised anymore Zero Two and HanaKana in top. |
| Best TV Anime The iDOLM@STER SideM .... Sigh... Maybe I should watch it after all?? Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai The power of seiyuu casting really shows here... XD Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card-hen Kekkai Sensen & Beyond Well~ I'm really happy for these two though~ |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| I was going to rant at Darling in the Franxx being in "best TV" and not Yuru Camp, but I realized that not just this one but almost every other series I've watched from this year deserves to be in this list more than fucking DarliFra. |
| Disappointed that Yuru Camp didn't make it, but glad Sora Yori, Violet Evergarden, Kekkai Sensen, Bungou Stray Dogs and Fate got a lot of recognition along with their casts. |
My Queens  |
| No complaints here, I’m glad KanaHana, Violet Evergarden, Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho, Tada-kun and a lot more made it to the list! A little disappointed that A-1 Pictures was awarded the best Studio, but I’m not really ticked off or anything. How’d Yuru Camp not end up here though? |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| i see more people in this thread need to stan sideM |
 |
| I love how people are so bothered and salt by the existence of fujoshis and call everything that has more than 2 main characters fujobait. |
| This list full of shit. |
| Steins;Gate 0 need to be more appreciate...for best TV or best male character,but neither win it...what's up japan?? |
| So happy to see so much Yorimoi here. Happy with the Seiyuu awards aswell. Idolmaster was okay, I guess. |
 |
| This list not worth bringing pitch fork over. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| >Best male character >Has Hiro but not bestest and goodest boi Goro ??????????????????????? |
 |
| popularity poll to know what a certain demographic (newtype magazine reader) adore of, and that's it... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Japan with they shit taste strike again |
| Surprised to see some people still take NewType polls seriously. |
 |
| Can't beleive that ngnl 0 didn't make it to the top best anime movies tf And persona 5 made it to the top anime list lol smh |
| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
| Persona 5? errr alright then... |
Best TV Anime Either anime has its own Golden Raspberry Awards or someone is taking the piss.The iDOLM@STER SideM Darling in the FranXX Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai Persona 5 the Animation Violet Evergarden Best Picture (Film) Girls & Panzer: Saishuushou Part 1 Free!: Take Your Marks Best Male Character Teru Tendou (The iDOLM@STER SideM) Hiro (Darling in the FranXX) Touma Amagase (The iDOLM@STER SideM) Ren Amamiya (Persona 5 the Animation) Best Female Character Zero Two (Darling in the FranXX) Saber (Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - I. Presage Flower) Violet Evergarden (Violet Evergarden) Lacia (Beatless Best Character Design Yuusuke Tanaka, Haruko Iizuka (The iDOLM@STER SideM) Masayoshi Tanaka (Darling in the FranXX) Best Studio A-1 Pictures Madhouse P.A. Works |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| NewType is about mecha shows from their name itself lol so that must be the reason for Darling in the FranXX popularity there (i enjoyed that show regardless) |
| The seiyuu list is nice, lots of names I appreciate in there. |
 |
| Tada Kun Best TV Series LOLOLOLOLOLOL |
My Candies:    |
| As much as it pains me to watch the entirety of this list, I am still eternally glad that they include Sora Yori in almost all category. Though this begs the question, what is the main differing factor between Japan's and Western audiences' taste when it comes to like an anime? |
HOMURA DID NOTHING WRONG.  |
| I hope that next year SAO:alicization and Tensei slime made it to the list for the best anime series. |
