CATDOLL: Japanese website survey shows that the biggest losers of the new January anime are those who gave up after just one episode

The new anime in January 2016 have already aired 2-3 episodes. Basically everyone has decided which anime to follow, and similarly which anime to give up. Now a Japanese media has launched a survey on "January new anime that people give up after watching only 1 episode". Let's take a look at the results. Overall, the abandonment rate of the new anime in January 2016 is around 25.2%, which is significantly higher than the abandonment rate of the new anime in October 2015, which was "10%". However, the abandonment rate of instant noodle anime is not high.

Top 10 new shows in January that I abandoned after just one episode:

No. 1 "Pandora in the Red Shell" (TV series) (43.1%)

This work has been adapted into a theatrical version before, and this work has a common worldview with "Ghost in the Shell", but many viewers said that they were a bit confused after watching it, and even the cuteness couldn't save it.

No. 2: Death Black Label (38.3%)

This game is set in Europe, with battles between mechas controlled by humans and Zerg. I don't know why this work has such a high abandonment rate. Is the setting too common?

No. 3 "Ajin" (TV series) (36.5%)

This work has also been adapted into a theatrical version before, and the first few episodes of the animation should be the content of the theatrical version. I guess many people found it boring after watching it. In addition, many people expressed that they do not accept the CG style.

No. 4: "Ao no Nakata Quartet" (36.4%)

No. 5: Snow White with the Red Hair (Season 2) (34.8%)

No. 6: "Magical Nurse R" (33.3%)

No. 7: Sacred Gate (32.8%)

No. 8: Mobile Assault Room Series 8 (32.4%)

No. 9: KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World (32.3%)

No. 10: NORN9 (30.7%)

　　However, there are also many animations with a relatively low abandonment rate, including many instant noodle animations. It seems that these lighthearted and funny instant noodle animations may be the big winners of the new animations in January this year. Of course, it is still a bit early to draw conclusions now. After all, there is a saying that "watch anime first 3 episodes", so you have to watch it first.

The works with the lowest abandonment rate are:

No. 1 "Blood Type" (Season 4) (6.5%)

No. 2 "Landlady's Puberty" (8.6%)

No. 3 Durarara!! × 2: The End (10.5%)
