Oricon has recently announced the results of a survey on "Awareness and Reality of Anime Ratings".

The purpose of this survey was to clarify the current state of anime viewing by Japanese audiences. The campaign conducted an online survey of 1,000 people between the ages of 10 and 50 across Japan. The survey was conducted from March 13 to 20, 2015.

First of all, when respondents were asked if they had a favorite anime, 7 out of 10 answered "yes". When asked what do you use to watch anime, about 9 percent of respondents answered "TV", 45.4% said "computer", and 15.4% said "mobile phone".

Second, only 6.8% of people use computers or mobile phones to watch anime, but 13.8% want to watch anime on computers and mobile phones. Therefore, it is predictable that more people will use computers and mobile phones to watch anime in the future.

One of the reasons why respondents prefer to watch anime on their mobile phones is that they can watch it anywhere, which is very convenient. (20-somethings woman Tokyo) "I often look under the covers, so it's easier to use my phone. "(Male in his 30s Tokyo)" looks convenient when going out. (Kanagawa, a woman in her 20s) It seems that the portability of tablets and mobile phones is generally recognized by everyone. By the way, the survey results show that 1 in 5 smartphone users use their phones to watch animations.

The rankings for viewing patterns were 90.3% for terrestrial wave broadcasting, 32.9% for CS/BS broadcasting, 24.4% for BD and DVD rentals, 12.0% for online viewing, and 11.7% for BD and DVD purchases. In addition, the survey results show that the majority of respondents want to watch or pay to download animations online, while few want to watch them on TV or on DVDs. Although the current online platform is still not as good as the traditional platform, from the perspective of the number, the importance of the online platform will gradually increase in the future.

Finally, when to watch the anime, 96.8% said "when you are idle at home", 26.2% "when you eat at home", and 3.7% "when you are waiting for something". The first two cases have an overwhelming advantage. And "when you're waiting", "when you're taking public transportation", and "when you're taking a shower", everyone is more likely to use their mobile phones to watch anime.

The cast of the web series "Attack on Titan" is the same as the live-action movie version, with Satomi Ishihara playing Hanji and Nanami Sakuraba starring Sasha. The original characters starring Shu Nakawabe in the live-action film version, Rina Takeda, and Ayame Mizusaki will also appear in the web series, and there will also be a new character Izuru played by Yuta Hiraoka in the web series.

The web series is divided into three parts: "Hanji Chapter", "Sasha Chapter", and "Vukusi Lilu", and will bring wonderful content about the birth of a three-dimensional mobile device, the study of giants, and the growth of Sasha.

In addition, "Bee Comics" will also release the "Attack on Titan" audio comic from June. The voice actor is still Yuki Kaji, Yui Ishikawa, Marina Inoue and other anime versions.

Satomi Ishihara said: "The online drama will describe Han Ji's heart and past, and the content is relatively difficult to understand. She hopes to show a different side of Han Ji with the way of laughing and speaking that did not appear in the movie version. In order to play Han Ji well, she also asked Park Lumi, the voice actor who played Han Ji in the animated version, for advice. Park Ro-mi taught her Han-gil's trademark scream on the phone.

The winners are still them! TSUTAYA3 month's animation sales list was announced

Every month, TSUTAYA Online Anime Store, an online shopping mall that specializes in selling anime images and music software discs, publishes the sales ranking of the previous month. In March's Animation Video Rankings, the top two winners were Free! -EternalSummer-" and "Volleyball Junior!!" 》。 It's fair to say that since these two titles began to release products one after another, we have never seen them fall behind the first and second places. It can even be said that each issue of the list changes from the third place. And this time the third place is the second volume of "The Tale of Things".

In addition, "Fate/staynight [UnlimitedBladeWorks]", which was released in the form of Blu-ray BOX, and "Fleet Collection", which was the topic of the new episode in January this year, also achieved a relatively high ranking. In addition, the results of "Psychometric 2" are also rising. Previously, the TSUTAYA rankings tended to give the impression that women dominate, but this month, many works that are loved by both men and women have also entered the list, which has become a relatively eye-catching phenomenon.

Of course, "White Box", which was on the list three times last month, still maintains a very stable popularity. All Blu-ray products currently on sale have entered the TOP30. Ordinary animated video products often decide whether they are popular or bad when they are first released, but "White Box" gives us a feeling that the popularity is rising. Among them, the latest fourth volume is ranked tenth, and although the TV anime has now ended, it is conceivable that related products will still achieve good results in the future. In addition, works such as "Marnie in Memories" and "Beauty and the Beast" that have been well received by the public are also on the list.

The TSUTAYA Online Animation Mall is an online shopping mall that specializes in the sale of anime-related videos and music products. Its abundant online merchandise resources and exclusive bonus projects have always been popular among anime fans, and the sales of the mall often reflect the popularity of a work.

The music that shines at the top of the charts is the team of Ta_2 (Tatsuo Suzuki) and YORKE. OLDCODEX's latest mini album "pledge", which sparked a rush to buy as soon as it was released, makes sense that it will be ranked No. 1 this time.

In addition, the March music chart is characterized by many singers who are loved by both men and women in high positions. Just like February, some of the artists who were active in the Niconico anime table xiàn achieved good results, and of course, the popular voice actor table xiàn was also good. Although the music charts are updated very quickly, there are some works that maintain a very good standard. For example, Evil P's "七つの罪と罰" slipped from third place last month to fifteenth, but it is still in the top 20 category.

Of course, "Fleet Collection", which has already been confirmed to produce the second season of the anime, has also shown strong popularity, with songs related to this work ranking 10th, 17th, and 20th, respectively.

The time of the son! Details of the new theatrical version of Naruto have been announced

Since the end of the original manga last year, many Naruto fans have expressed their nostalgia for this classic in different forms. But they often underestimate the determination of the makers to continue to tap into the value of the brand. According to the latest sneaking news, the latest theatrical version that is currently scheduled to be released on August 7, 2015 has also revealed relevant details, and the interesting thing is that the name has changed from the original "NARUTO" to "BORUTO".

THE REASON FOR THIS CHANGE IS ALSO BECAUSE THE PROTAGONIST OF THIS TIME WILL CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL NARUTO (NARUTO) TO HIS SON BORUTO (CAN BE TRANSLATED AS BORUTO, MURARU, ETC.). And on the released pictures, we can also see words such as "New Times" and "Look at it, smelly dad". And this is also a picture drawn by Kishimoto himself, which can be regarded as an original experience for everyone.

In other respects, Kishimoto will be in charge of the original work, script, and character of this work, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the story. And the director is Hiroyuki Yamashita, who is also one of the feats that has been with the Hokage for many years, and this time it is worth looking forward to. Another screenwriter has used Ukyo Kotaito, who has previously performed well in several games.

Of course, many netizens also complained about the news of the theatrical version of this new work. "Is this going to be a Naruto descendant series?" "The Hokage has dominated the rivers and lakes for generations" "The strongest dad in history is covered, and his son doesn't play casually?" But despite the many complaints, I believe there will still be many people cheering at that time. As for the theme song of the work, voice actors and other information, Tencent Animation will also continue to pay attention to it.

The third phase of the animation is coming? "Flower Card Love" will be published in a heavy dà

This month's comic magazine BE· LOVE", it was announced that the second issue of the girl's manga "Flower Card Love" made by Yuki at the end will be published. There is no further information to be released at the moment, and given that the team of the production company MADHOUSE is working hard to produce "The Tale of Me", it is unlikely that the third phase of the animation will be released, and it is more likely that it will be a live-action Japanese drama version and other projects.

The "Flower Card Love" series is adapted from the manga of the same name written by Japanese manga artist Yuki Sueji, which is based on the traditional Japanese card game "Ututa Ta", describing the youth story of the dream-seeking girl Chihaya Ayase and her companions. The first season aired on October 4, 2011, and the second season aired on January 11, 2013.

Rin Shibuya climbs to the top! "Mother TYPE" announced the popular heroine in February

As a magazine that specializes in embodying the cute girls in anime works, "Niang TYPE" has received a lot of attention since its inception. And according to the latest sneaking pictures: At present, the final results of the list of "everyone's favorite heroines in the anime broadcast in February" have also been announced.

The first place in the list is Rin Shibuya, one of the heroines from "Idol Master Cinderella Girl". Her family makes a living from a flower shop and has a dog named "Hanako", and she is called "NewGeneration" along with Shimamura Utsuki and Honda Miao. And Ayaka Fukuhara's dubbing is also remarkable. The fact that the 15-year-old girl was able to take the top spot on the list is also worth congratulating.

The second character comes from "White Box", and this is Ema Yasuhara, who worked as a concept artist (and later became a painting director). The female characters in "White Box" are all charming, but when it comes to selling cuteness, it is the most tempting, so the little angel is still very sure. The soft voice, wife-like dress, and the multi-Chinese gymnastics that were popular all over the Internet before have added a lot of weight to her popularity.

Mio Naruse, the female number one of "The Contractor of the New Sister Demon King", won the third place. For this work full of meat selling elements, as the heroine, it is natural to bring benefits to everyone from time to time. Although he was still a little tsundere when he first appeared, he completely showed his shaking M side when he was "trained" by the male protagonist. And whether it is **'s figure or her beautiful face, her every move attracts the attention of countless gentlemen.

One of the heroines of "The Fleet Collection", King Kong, won fourth place. This anthropomorphic ship Susume, which is based on the old Japanese Navy battlecruiser Kongo, has won the attention of countless fans as early as the first launch of the browser game. And because I have lived overseas, I like to drink some black tea to show my taste. And she always started fighting from the opposite boat and the remnants of blood during the shelling war, so she got the nickname "Dasha". In addition, the dubbing of Dong** Yang is even more remarkable.

The fifth-ranked character is the dog princess Michiore of DOGDAYS. F. Biscody. The cute pink shape and the silly hair on the top of her head are her registered trademarks. And he is also the summoner of the brave true red, and in addition, he can become an idol all over the world by virtue of his status as a singer. The voice of this character is Yui Horie, one of the three royal families, and I'm afraid that only YUI's voice can satisfy our brain supplement for this character, right?

In addition, Aoi Miyamori of "White Box", Megumi Kato and Sawamura Spencer Eiri of "The Cultivation Method of Passerby Heroines", and Shima Wind and Blowing Snow of "Fleet Collection" are also in the top ten.

Accompany Goku to eat curry! Dragon Ball announced a partnership with a curry shop

Since the beginning of serialized manga in the 80s of the last century, "Dragon Ball" created by Akira Toriyama has always been a well-deserved king in shonen manga. After a lapse of many years, the work still continues to retain the sense of zài in the form of TV animation, theatrical version, and games. But other promotions are also very interesting, and recently Japan's largest curry chain, COCO No. 1, will be teaming up with this classic.

The Frozen effect! Tokyo Disneyland has a record number of visitors

According to the latest announcement by OrientalLand yesterday (April 1), the number of visitors to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea in 2014 reached a record 31,377,000. In 2014, Universal Studios Japan in Osaka surpassed 12.7 million visitors, surpassing the previous record of 11.03 million when it first opened in 2001.

Tokyo Disneyland was able to break the record this year in large part because of the influence of the theatrical version of the Japanese hit "Frozen". Tokyo Disneyland's Frozen-themed event attracted a large number of visitors, 79,000 more than the 31,298,000 in 2013.

On the other hand, Universal Studios Japan's new facility, which recreated the world of Harry Potter in July 2014, has been very popular, and since January 2015, pop-up events have been held in the park for popular anime titles Attack on Titan and Neon Genesis Evangelion, setting a new record for the number of visitors in a single month for nine consecutive months.

It seems that anime works have a great influence on theme parks, and the two theme parks that have tasted the sweetness should launch more similar events in the future.

Chino is the most popular! Japanese netizens voted the most popular heroine

Since there are a large number of anime works released in Japan every year, it is only natural that countless characters have come to us in front of us, which naturally leads fans to think about the popularity of the works. In a recent popular character survey conducted by a Japanese magazine, we saw a lot of popular girls selected, so let's reveal the specific answers!

Among them, the number one character is from "Do you want to have some rabbits today?" The incense of Chino. This has the standard three-no characteristics in terms of attributes.,And the demeanor is full of deliberately trying to show his mature side.。 But when she is treated as a child, she often shows dissatisfaction, so she is loved by countless LOLI controls. In addition, the animated version of Kafuze Chino is voiced by Mizuse Kei, a new generation voice actor who has always been known for his soft girl voice, and he also performed this role well.

The second place is also from "Do you want some rabbits today?" This is the beloved of the female number one Bao Deng. Her biggest feature is that she likes to be called her sister, and it is said that when she hears the word "sister", she will get up immediately even if she is so asleep that she can't even wake up the alarm clock. It is precisely because of this that Zhinai, a girl full of sister's aura, makes her "love it". In addition, the voice of the beloved is Sakura Ayane, who is known as Sakura Dafa, and this name alone is enough to add popularity to the character, right?

The heroine of "The Cultivation of the Passerby Heroine" (?) Megumi Kato came in third. Since the launch of this work in January, Megumi Kato, who is "very attractive without any features", has also attracted more and more attention from viewers. And her behavior of not having any sense of zài at ordinary times, and being able to give a strong complaint at critical moments has also won the reputation of "Sage Hui". The success of this role has even affected voice actor Nozomi Anno, and now she has begun to have more dubbing work, which can be regarded as a powerful feedback for the role.

As for the fourth-ranked character, it is also a very familiar one, this is Asuna, who is called "Ben Zina" by gentlemen. As the female number one of "Sword Art Online", she can be described as impeccable in terms of appearance, strength and personality. Although both seasons of the anime have been aired, Asuna's popularity still shows no signs of declining. It seems that Ben Zina's aura of model workers will continue for a long time.

In addition, Fett Testrosa, an important character in "Magical Girl Naye", is ranked fifth. Every viewer who has seen the work is afraid to shout, "When the hell are you with Naye!" And Nana Mizuki, who dubbed her, is also one of the three well-deserved in the voice actor industry, and it is not surprising that it has attracted attention. And with the launch of the new anime soon, I'm afraid Fit's popularity will rise even further.
