This means a show with no prior hype managed to heavily outsell Spy X Family and Dress Up Darling.

I think that has something to do with it fs. But also take into account the fact that they only had like 8000 people and most the survey was of teenagers. I doubt if you actually go to Japan the majority of anime fans will call lyco reco anime of the year.

well in terms of surveys and polls an 8000 sample size is more than the usual 1000 max sample sizes of surveys and polls anyway so the margin of error for this poll is low too

When I think that the majority watches anime on their TV and casually I think it would feel amazing to watch Lyco Reco. It's a interesting story with really good animation. And it standed out, so when they had to think about a AOTY ,the thinked about this one. Proof of what I said is that Dropkick is second. No need for mainstream anime when you have casual one. idk if Lyco Reco should be first but it's understandable

I think I may know why, I thinks it’s bc the others have manga or some kind of source but Lycoris Recoil legit came from nothing since it’s an anime original that took over the anime community by storm. Off topic but happy Summer Time Rendering is on there tho๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

idk about you but LycoReco was a 10/10 on my end. Its in their culture - Akiba maid cafes. It turns reality into fantasy fiction. Like imagine if LycoReco was actually real. Cute Girls Doing Counter Terrorism. Loved by both female and male audience. I can see why it got #1.

Bocchi was a 11/10. Acutually this had to be #1 but since it just released a lot haven't watched. It raised my standards of slice of life. MC being so relatable and funny mixed with japan rock pop-culture. A perfect slice of life.

Dropkick on my devil was ok. Like any other slice of life mixed with fantasy elements.

I am surprised Demon Slayer is not on this list. I thought that was the most popular show in Japan.

Other than that I am not surprised by this list at all. Japanese people love their cute girl anime and this list is reflective of that.

Since it is very popular in Japan, ending was open and basically a cliffhanger with a lot of potential plot options foreshadowed AND some sort of event regarding this show planned for February, I'd say chances of second season happening are roughly 99%.

The article refers to the poll done on Anime!Anime!, what you linked is not a poll and is not a ranking of the best anime of 2022.

On a side note, CSM was a flop here in Japan? You might want to check your sources because it went and still goes great.

I am aware that the link I cited is not a poll, is a bunch of people writing reviews. But the one in AnimeAnime only has eight thousand which is not a huge sample size.

In terms of Chainsaw Man, it has high viewership but ratings are lower than MHA S6 if I recall correctly. Need to check profits to verify if it really does well.

I’m pretty OK with this list except for Jashin-Chan. As much as I find that show amusing, it wasn’t that great, especially the tourism advertising episodes. I would take that and replace it with Akiba Maid Wars.

Nah, where you get the sample from matters. Could easily be misrepresentative of Japanese audiences.

Seems like a lost cause to go that crazy over an original that likely won't outlast darling in the franxx. A1 originals like never go past 2 cours, and now it seems they are willing to cut the cord at 1 cord like Visual prison. My guess is the art style is very reminiscient of SAO, and that show is still very prominent in the scene.

Even if an anime sells well, if they planned a show to have a story told in 2 cours, that is far as it will go. Look at what Trigger as well as all what A1 did for the past decade.

That's tru actually cause a Sample of 8000 Is actually too less and have a very high error margin ..... in my experience I think either SPYxFAMILY would be the Anime of the Year cause of the hype and then the wait of the Hyper again for Fall22 or maybe I think COTE S2 also maybe casue of how they put the story from the ln now

Stop spreading this exclusively Western force about Bocchi the Rock as a realistic show about social anxiety. This show has nothing to do with otaku and the anime industry is literally overloaded with such characters.
Someday Western resources will stop issuing surveys of individual anime resources as the opinion of Japanese anime fans, but this obviously will not happen in the near future.

to people actually talking about the statistical method being used: guys chill. this kind of "survey" tend to not care much about the mumbo jumbo of having a valid statistical requirement (as well as a lot of things involving statistics in this world, actually.)
