CATDOLL: 2015 Anime Sales Ranking: One Piece is a thing of the past

2015 has passed. Among the many anime works last year, some were very popular, while others were a flop. In short, since there is a market, there must be a comparison of 123, such as the popular anime series "One Piece" and "Naruto", and the current hot works "Love Live!" and "Tokyo Ghoul". Although these works are very popular and popular all over the world, they are not even a little bit different in market sales! I thought "One Piece" would definitely be the first, but it was suppressed by "Love Live!". Especially "Naruto" didn't even make it into the top ten! So what other works surprised you?
