Renowned Japanese outlet Animate Times has shared
the results of its long-awaited annual survey to determine which anime
are most anticipated by Japanese people for the Summer 2024 season ,
which runs from July to September. This survey, a tradition among anime fans,
reflects viewers' expectations and emotions towards new series and
continuations that are about to premiere.
The results of the Animate Times survey show a
varied list of anime, each with their own reasons for capturing the public's
attention. But what makes one anime more anticipated than another?
There are several factors that influence fan expectations:
- Franchise
Popularity : Series that are part of
already established franchises often generate more anticipation. If an
anime is a sequel, spin-off, or adaptation of a popular manga or light
novel, fans of the franchise will be eager to watch it.
- Reputation
of the animation studio : Animation
studios with a track record of producing high-quality anime also play a
crucial role. A new project from a well-known studio like Madhouse, Kyoto
Animation, or Ufotable can raise expectations due to their track record of
success and quality.
- Trailers
and promotional material : The
quality of trailers, promotional artwork and other materials released
before the premiere can raise expectations. A well-produced trailer that
showcases stunning animation and an intriguing premise can quickly capture
viewers' attention.
- Production
Team : The involvement of renowned directors,
writers, and composers can increase interest in a series. The presence of
a talented and experienced crew is a sign that the anime has the potential
to be outstanding.
- Theme
and Genre : Anime genres and themes
also play a significant role. Popular themes like fantasy, sci-fi,
romance, and sports, among others, have their own fan bases that are
always on the lookout for new releases in their preferred genre.
The results of the Animate Times survey reflect
these factors and show which series Japanese people are most eager to see in
the next season. These anime not only promise entertainment, but also
the possibility of becoming the next big hits in the anime world.
