Japanese Viewers Pick Assassination Classroom as Most Anticipated Winter 2016 Anime
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Anime fans around the world are getting to warm up with a new season of anime in January. The season is offering a lot of sequels to earlier favorites, teenage landlords and the return of Kyoto Animation. One particular sequel topped the list of Charapedia's poll.
The second season of Assassination Classroom was crowned #1 with 419 voting points but was strongly favored by female voters over male voters. It only ranked #10 among men, who instead are anticipating the second season of the fantasy-military series GATE. Durarara!!×2 Ketsu came in third overall, which is surprising when each of the previous seasons took the top spot in their respective seasons.
