If you take into consideration that the more mainstream and non-otaku viewers in japan, the Top 5 would certainly ring a lot of bells as these five titles have proven to be quite a hit among people who don’t watch too much anime.
#1 ranked Assassination Classroom is certainly a hit as the anime has proven to be very entertaining, and that may be the reason why many fans are thinking the same, that it really is a hit deserving to be #1.
Kuroko’s Basketball, which took second place, certainly needs no introduction while third place Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is known to have plenty of followers in Japan. Both series are without a doubt huge hits when it comes to their fans.
