Sony’s statistics for the top 20 most recorded anime of winter 2015 has shown even the most bizarrely adventuresome of anime is no match for a concentrated moe-broadside from the world’s foremost (and only) kanmusu anime.
2. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders Egypt hen
3. Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata
8. Absolute Duo

They definitely needed to do this later in the season, at least halfway into it. This represents people watching new shows first. By the end of the season, the most popular anime would be way farther up.
I am not familiar enough with Japanese handling of anime. Recording can mean two things: a) I want to watch it repeatedly, b) I can’t be bothered to watch it when it airs so I postpone it. Where b) may indicate an inconvenient timeslot or a not-very-favourite show or the recording person.
Since this statistic disregards live viewings, I wonder how much skew is there which conceals a true popularity ranking.
Why I’m not surprised Kancolle is on very top? Thanks to Shimakaze.
She barely has any screen time.
So what, her black g-string are legendary.
amatsukaze as a character design and personality is less annoying.
I actually prefer Amatsukaze over her.
Then it really shouldn’t be at the top yet, given how little Shimakaze (and Amatsukaze) there’s been in the anime so far.
But so far Kancolle had been solid. Lots of fanservice (game mechanics gag), character gags, aircraft hell and sinking DDs.
as a kankore player…i laughed at the puns and gags, but felt very sad for kisaragi… i can relate. =(
JoJo being in the number two spot is nice, but where the heck is Death Parade?
Great fucking question! I guess it’s 21. There are more anime this season than are on this list. I guess people weren’t really watching it.
Lol I thought the image was Kaori from Shigatsu at first
