CATDOLL: Popularity ranking of Japanese anime characters over the years Is she still your childhood goddess?

Japanese animation has been developing for decades, and many details have changed. The most significant change is the change in style. There have been many articles comparing the previous and current animation styles, and many people have expressed that they can no longer accept the previous images. Recently, a Japanese netizen made a collection based on the "popularity rankings of animation characters" made by anime magazines over the years, showing the changes in the styles of popular animation characters in different eras. Let's take a look at whether your male/female idol is still the same as before after all these years?

This is a chart of the popularity of female characters in the anime magazine "Animage" published by Tokuma Shoten. The chart lists the top five female characters in the June issue of "Animage" from 1983 to 2015. We can see that in the early days, it was often the case that one character could stay on the list for a long time, and some characters are still goddesses now.

Next is the table of changes in popular female characters from the anime magazine "NEWTYPE" published by Kadokawa Corporation. This table lists the top five popular female characters of the year selected by "NEWTYPE" from 2011 to 2016. Sometimes it really feels that the popular characters of "NEWTYPE" are different from others.

Then there is the table of changes in popularity of male characters in "Animage" every 10 years. This table lists the top 10 male characters in popularity voting in the June issue of "Animage" every 10 years from 1978 to 2015. I always feel that the style of popular male characters in this collection has changed quite a lot... Speaking of which, this 2015 male god list is really a bit weird.
