Anime Anime Global

It has been one month since the fall 2020 anime season started.

Not only the main story of TV anime but also the theme songs that show the world of the title in 1 minute 30 seconds attract a lot of attention. Since many anime titles have been released during the fall of 2020, we have a wider variety of songs than usual. Which theme song among that variety caught the hearts of fans?

Here, at Anime! Anime!, we conducted a reader survey entitled “Which song among the theme songs of the fall 2020 anime titles do you like the most?” We received responses from 253 people during the survey period from November 3 to November 10.
The male-female ratio is about 40% for males and about 60% for females. About 50% of the age group were minors, and about 25% were in their 20s.

This time, we will announce the results for ED.

■ “Jujutsu Kaisen” is topping the list of OP and ED!
1st place
1st place goes to “LOST IN PARADISE feat. AKLO” by AKI from “Jujutsu Kaisen” with an approval rating of about 10%.

Many readers explained the reason behind their votes as a good matching of song and anime, “The pop-song fits well with the main characters resting on their day off”, “I like the touch of characters’ everyday life pictures. It is so cool, I could watch anime just for ED”, and “The characters’ dance matches to the song really well! I can watch it forever!”

2nd place
2nd place goes to “Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima” with an approval rating of about 9%.

Readers seem to enjoy the differences of each of the versions, “Passionate lyrics make you feel deep bonds between members of the division”, “It is interesting how each division has its own individuality”, and “They are all way too cool.”

3rd place

Some readers pointed out often appearances of the band, “You can’t talk about ‘Haikyu!!’ without SPYAIR. It was their first ED, although before the band was in charge of three OPs, and I think they are essential music for this title. Great lyrics, inspired by the story, and music that makes you dance are the best combination!”. Many readers liked ED’s performance, “The highlights of this week are the best. I also like the moments from previous matches.”

Moreover, in the men vote only, 1st place went to “Is the Order a Rabbit?”, 2nd place to “Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club”, 3rd place is shared between “Mr. Osomatsu (season 3), and “Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear”, and for women votes only 1st place goes to “Jujutsu Kaisen” and 2nd to “Haikyu!! To the Top 2nd Cool”, and 3rd place to “Hypnosis-Mic”.

About “Nakayoshi! ○! Nakayoshi!” by Chimame-tai from “Is the order a rabbit?”, “Chimame-tai cute as always at BLOOM”, and “I can feel the growth of the Chimame-tai trio, and now it seems more like parents view”.

About “NEO SKY, NEO MAP!” by Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from “Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club”, “I think this song is the best, because the nine idols sing the best song that makes me cry.”, and “The ED animation with a gentle hand-painted touch is wonderful.”
