by A large number of anime are produced every year in Japan, but the existence of manga is what supports this rich lineup.
In 2025, anime based on manga, including “Akuyaku Reisei Ojisan,” “Witch Watch,” and “Ninja to Hitman Futari Gurashi,” are being broadcast one after another, and various titles are scheduled to be made into movies in the future. So, Anime! Anime! We will be conducting a reader survey titled “Which manga would you like to see animated? (First half of 2025)” following the second half of 2024.
The survey was divided into three categories: incomplete works that are still being serialized, completed works that have already reached their final episode, and works that have not yet been animated or have not been decided upon for animation. During the survey period from June 6th to June 15th, 360 people responded.
The gender ratio was approximately 30 percent men and 70 percent women, with a slight majority of women. In terms of age group, about 35 percent were under 19 years old, and about 25 percent were in their 20s and 30s. In this article, we will announce the results of the incomplete works category.
Fantasy, action, science fiction.. Popular works from a variety of genres are gathered! The first place was “The one I fell in love with asked me to die in place of my sister. -Why did my unrequited love marry my sister and come to me now? I wondered-@COMIC”. The approval rating was about 17%.
This work is a romance fantasy about a former young lady who became the guardian of a poisonous other world. It is also a comic adaptation of a popular novel. Readers have praised it for its drama that combines fantasy and romance, saying, “It starts with a shocking opening where the one you love begs you to go to the other world as a “substitute for your sister,” and there you end up forming a master-disciple relationship with someone you should never have met.
I want to enjoy the cruelly beautiful story of the two who had a strange encounter in the anime,” and “The unrequited love of a master and disciple who are clumsy in love, intertwined with sadness and misunderstandings, is tragic. The story is also full of otherworldly elements that color the story, such as battles with monsters and a talkative holy sword.”
“The drama CD released in 2024 was also great, so I hope it will be animated with the same momentum,” said many fans who want to experience the work in video form this time. 2nd place: “Kindergarten Wars.” The support rate was about 4 percent.
This is a violent love comedy in which Rita, a former legendary assassin, struggles as a teacher and bodyguard at a kindergarten attended by the children of the world’s most important people. “The gags, love, and battles are all of a high level! At first glance, it seems like a comedy that you can enjoy casually, but the characters also have serious aspects, such as their brutal pasts hidden… I would love to see this work animated,” and “The drawings are cute, but the battle scenes are authentic.
I think the gun action is worth watching even in animation,” are some of the comments that have been received from people who were fascinated by the contrasting story and visuals. 3rd place: “Tokyo Aliens.” It was only a few votes behind the 2nd place. It is a sci-fi action movie in which a high school student living an ordinary life becomes a member of the alien management organization, “AMO,” and confronts extraterrestrial life forms. Readers have expressed high expectations for the film adaptation, saying, “The illustrations are simply beautiful, and the story is full of surprises. I can’t wait to see how the mystery that unfolds will be resolved,” and “Various aliens are hiding on Earth, and they are not necessarily enemies.
The setting is elaborate, and it encourages speculation. The characters and battle scenes are realistic, so if they were to be colored and moved, I think the work would be better understood.” Here are some other comments! “Himaten!”A romantic comedy in which the heroine, a high school girl who is a company president, transfers to the high school where the main character works part-time as a housekeeper.
The PV celebrating the release of the third volume had a good tempo and was full of the charm of the work.” “Nukozuke!”The heartwarming daily life of the cat, a species that evolved to be closer to humans, is soothing. Not only are the cats that can speak human language cute, but the sudden severe episodes that pop up are also memorable, making it a work that you will want to read over and over again.” For “The Stepmother and Stepsister Who Don’t Bully Me,” the voters said, “The idea of the stepmother and stepsister, who are usually mean in fairy tales, being kind instead is interesting, and it’s a heartwarming comedy with no evil characters.
I was also drawn in by the presence of Kakujira-san, who plays Mommy in the PV.” For “Ukulele!” the voters said, “It’s a coming-of-age story about a girl who is not good at expressing her emotions and joins the ukulele club to make many people smile. It’s heartwarming to see her interact with various people through club activities.
There are many works in which girls play instruments, but it’s refreshing to see the instrument being the ukulele.” A wide range of titles were voted for regardless of genre. In this survey, many titles with unique settings and worldviews were ranked. Voices were calling for a variety of titles, including fantasy, comedy, and science fiction, to be made into anime.
