With so many ties between quality titles, which anime made the top 3?
3. Kemono Friends / Made in Abyss
Kemono Friends and Made in Abyss were so popular that they tied for the third rank with an overall approval rating of 8.1%. Interestingly enough, they’re also both fantasy-type settings with super cute young characters!
Coming in hot for second place is Land of the Lustrous! This series first premiered in October and has an approval rating of 8.2%, with 11.7% of the fans being over the age of 20. One reason that fans regard the series so highly is the unique mix of animation and 3DCG that adds a beautiful sparkling effect to accurately represent the “jewel people”!
Sibling duo Izumi Masamune and Izumi Sagiri claim the top with the highest approval rating at 9.7%! Forbidden romances mixed with indie writers and illustrators have seen this romantic comedy a definite fan-favorite since the release of the light novel in 2013.
