CATDOLL: Parasyte JOJO wins the title of the most satisfying and most anticipated animation selected by Japanese websites

Niconico, a large Japanese video commentary website, selects the "most anticipated new series" every quarter. At the same time, the "satisfaction list" for the previous season's animation often provides us with the answer. According to the latest news, the results of the 2015 Winter New Series Anticipation List and the 2014 Autumn New Series Satisfaction List have all been announced.

First, let's look at the winter new series expectations list. The first one is "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Season 3 Stardust Crusaders". Strictly speaking, this work is not a new season at all, but a national-level work that continues to be released. The third season has already started, and the voice actor lineup led by Daisuke Ono is also quite eye-catching. In addition, the character he voiced, Jotaro Kujo, is also one of the most popular characters in the series. Therefore, this work has appeared at the top of the expectation list and satisfaction list many times before, and the high level of quality and wonderful plot will also push JOJO to a new height.

The second place is the light novel adaptation "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend". The author of this work is Fumiaki Maruto, who was previously responsible for the scripts of games such as "White Album 2" and "The World's No. NG Love". His most representative "fighting" work is definitely the "White Album" series. In terms of the plot, the story setting is also very much to the taste of otakus. In short, it is a story about a dead otaku who meets a beautiful girl, and is happy to find that the girl is a classmate, and then brings his harem to start making games... The name of the heroine, Kato Megumi, has been misread by many people as the voice actor Ito Kanae, but her voice actor is Anno Kiyono. In addition, the voice actor of the male protagonist is Matsuoka Yoshitsugu... Well, it's him again.

The third is the original masterpiece "Aldnoah.Zero", which had its first season aired in July last year. The animation will restart the second season this month. This work has attracted a lot of attention due to the almost tragic setting at the end of the first season. However, in the subsequent spoilers of the second season, we found that none of the important characters died. Of course, whether the relationship between them will change is also a topic of great concern to everyone. In addition, the main voice actors of this work are Amamiya Sora, Hanae Natsuki and Ono Kensho, which are also full of countless topics. So much so that one of the reasons why Amamiya Sora ranked first in the previous "Ranking of the Most Hated Voice Actors by Fujoshi" is that many female audiences are dissatisfied with her appearing as a "light bulb" between two male voice actors.

"Lucky Doodle" ranked fourth. This four-frame comic created by Japanese cartoonist Kawai Makoto will be adapted into a TV animation by Shaft, and the production lineup of Akiyuki Shinbo and Mari Okada has aroused countless expectations. Shinbo even said, "I hope this work can continue to have sequels like "Hina Sketches". And "The heroine, Machiko Ryo, is a second-year junior high school girl. Because her parents are abroad, she depends on her grandmother. But after her grandmother passed away, she had to start living independently. At this time, she realized how bad her cooking skills were, and regretted not honing her skills in this area. And when the girl Morino Kirin who boarded at her house appeared, she made up her mind to learn cooking in order to become an excellent bride..." The setting is also quite innovative, coupled with the voice actor lineup led by Sato Rina, many people are optimistic that this work will become the biggest dark horse in January.

In addition, Kantai Collection ranked fifth. I believe that even people who have never played the game are very familiar with the popularity of Kancolle, right? As the saying goes, "If the game is popular, how can there not be an animation?" The news of the animation of this work has already attracted countless attention. Many people are optimistic that Kantai Collection can become the hegemonic work of January. In addition, many popular voice actors such as Uesaka Sumire, Fujita Saki, Iguchi Yuka, Toyama Nao will also add more highlights to the work.

In terms of new series in the fall of 2014, "Parasyte", adapted from the comic book of the same name at the end of the last century, ranked first. One day, an unknown creature "Parasyte" fell from the sky and came to the earth. They invaded the human brain through the nose and ears, and parasitized on the brain to control the human body. The protagonist, high school student Shinichi Izumi, has a parasitic beast "MIGI" on his right hand, so his fate has become ups and downs... This setting is more in line with the current popular dark theme style, but it also clearly reflects many elements that are difficult to express in new series today - the portrayal of family affection, the understanding of the harmonious thinking between man and nature, etc. Of course, the voice actor lineup of this work is also luxurious, especially the fact that the head of the group, Aya Hirano, dubbed MIGI, which has caused a lot of discussion.

Shirobako ranked second. This is an original animation work launched by PA WORKS. In fact, when people were disappointed with PA WORKS's "chaotic world", Shirobako suddenly appeared and changed the public opinion. The work's realistic portrayal of the animation industry, the rich personalities of the characters, and the use of a large number of new voice actors have attracted a lot of attention.

The third-ranked work is "Fate/stay night". This ranking is believed to satisfy everyone. In this FSN, Miss Toosaka Rin occupies a very important position, and is therefore called the first female lead by many Type-Moon fans. But at the same time, the series's leading female Saber also maintains a high popularity. In the previous "Newtype" character list, the two also had their own wins and losses. Of course, the interesting plot and exquisite pictures are also the guarantee for the work to get attention.

"CROSS ANGE: Rondo of Angels and Dragons" ranked fourth, which was quite surprising. When the work was just aired, the title of "Sunrise Production" attracted a lot of attention, but the exaggerated descriptions and often broken pictures of the work caused the public opinion to decline a lot. However, if you insist on watching this work, I believe everyone will be attracted by the weekly plot. In addition, this is a work composed of popular voice actors in the industry such as the Big Three, Kitamura Eri, and Toyama Nao. Therefore, the auditory experience alone is enough to make the ticket worthwhile. Of course, the creative director of this animation, Fukuda Mitsuhiro, also carried out a very good marketing campaign through Twitter chattering, and I believe his approach will be adopted by the industry in the future.

In addition, Kyoto Animation's "Amagi Brilliant Amusement Park" ranked fifth. Overall, this work was not surprising. Although the figure of the heroine Isuzu attracted many gentlemen's attention, the setting of a genius boy saving the amusement park was not particularly outstanding. But this cannot deny the highlights of the work, such as the facial expressions of the mascot and elementary school students, the same exquisite pictures as always, and the rare happy ending in recent years, which made people breathe a sigh of relief after watching the last episode and sighed: "It's a good work."
