The 2014 winter new episode has been on the air for more than a month and a half. I don't know if you have found your favorite work. However, some people may say that the new winter is the most unpopular time of the year. There are many works that make people want to turn off after opening them for 5 minutes. It seems that the understanding of winter new = "unpopular new fan" has become common sense. So is that really the case? Is it true that winter is so unnoticed compared to other time periods? Recently, some Japanese media wrote an article on this, making a brief inventory of the winter new in the past ten years, and listing those works that are extremely eye-catching in January, trying to "correct the name" of the winter new series.

○Winter 2013

The popularity of "LoveLive!" ignited the prelude to a new episode in 2013

If there are any popular works in 2013, then we must mention the idol animation "LoveLive!". If "Attack on Titan", which had an impact on the general audience in April, would have been a representative work of 2013, along with masterpieces such as the "Monogatari" series. Produced by SUNRISE, this zuò tells the story of nine young girls who go to the path of idols in order to save their school's predicament, and is now one of the best in the genre. In addition, there are also works such as Kyoto Animation's "Tamako Market" in the winter novel, and "Tamako Market" was also quite popular at the time, and although the story is very ordinary, this faint warmth has attracted many people's attention. And the work will also be launched on April 26 this year in a new theatrical version, which will surely cause new hot spots.

○Winter 2012

Among the light novel adaptations, "Pseudo-Story" stands out

2012 can also be said to be a year of great works. In April, the second season of "Fate/Zero" was released, in the summer "Sword Art Online" detonated the boom in online game animation, and in October, "Girls and Chariots" also took original animation to new heights. In comparison, the new episode in January may not seem so prominent, but among them, "Pseudo Story" releases a sense of existence that people can't ignore. The sales of video products in this series are among the best in this century, and it can be said that the original author, Nishio Restoration, can wake up with a smile in the middle of the night. In addition, including "Love Kills Baby", "Battle Queen's Swan Song", and "Smile Pretty Girl of Light! and other works are also from the new January 2012.,They still have a good popularity on the Internet.。

○Winter 2011

The real hegemony anime is coming! The "Madoka Magical Girl" series has set off a frenzy in the industry

Speaking of the new January of 2011, we should have mentioned works including "Infinite Stratos" and "Is This a Zombie". However, compared to the "Magical Girl Podoka ☆ Magic" series, these works can only be described as small and big. The animated series has gone beyond the magical girl theme itself, and at the time it exploded the entire animation industry, and was evaluated as a "social phenomenon". And the release of the theatrical version of the new work last year achieved a box office result of more than 2 billion yen, which also made the late-night animation fully enter the field of vision of ordinary audiences. Hey? In this way, where is the new winter not popular? On the contrary, it is a time period when masterpieces are frequent......

○Winter 2010

"Persona of the Headless Horseman" became popular in 2010

In January 2010, a work that particularly attracted the attention of female audiences was born. This is the anime adaptation of the novel "Persona of the Headless Horseman". This work is even the same as April's AngelBeats! and "The Light Girl" is not inferior. And if the definition of the new winter is expanded, then "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya", which was released in February of that year, was also well received and became one of the masterpieces of the late-night animated theater version.

○Winter 2009

In 2009, the half-year from the autumn was even more eye-catching!?

"RIDEBACK" and "Maria Mania", which were launched in January 2009, have good popularity, but the most popular is "Continuing Natsume's Friend's Account". However, compared to these works, the semi-annual series, which was broadcast from the fall of 2008 to January, seems to be better. Among them, there is no shortage of "Dragon and Tiger Fight! "CLANNAD–AFTER-STORY", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2" and other works, their influence on the current anime industry cannot be ignored. I guess it was the representative of January of that year.

○2004~8 (Winter)

Maybe it's a little ordinary!? 2004~8 years

Over the next five years, we will list just some of the more eye-catching works. Among them, "ARIA-The-ORIGINATION" in 2008, "Fate/stay-night" in 2006, "Magic Teacher" and "AIR" in 2005, and "Ghost in the Shell S.A.C.2ndGIG" in 2004 were among the best in January of that year. In particular, the theme song of "AIR", "Bird Poem", is known as the "national anthem" of the ACG industry. Of course, except for the two works in 2005, it is difficult to say that the other works dominated the new world of the year. Maybe the new unpopular statement in January is also related to the situation in the past few years.

Looking back on the past 10 years, it can be said that since 2011's "Madoka Magi☆ Magic", the most popular works in the winter new series have sprung up. The new winter series, which was once thought to be unpopular, has now become "a popular work because it's winter". Such a trend can be described as a fortunate thing for both the industry and our audience, right?

So,According to this law,I don't know what works will be brought to us in January 2014 that can dominate the new market this year? According to the current popularity statistics in all aspects, "Delusional Student Union Season 2", "Secondary Two Diseases Have to Fall in Love!" Love" and "The Witch's Mission" have received good responses. Let's look forward to it!
