I feel like The Promised Neverland is going to overwhelmingly win the current poll. Then again, I was surprised to see Cardcaptor Sakura beat out Violet Evergarden for #1 in the last poll.

Now that I have finally seen Toradora, I am in a position to judge the relative merits of its Christmas insert song against that of Martian Successor Nadesico.

In the spirit of goodwill, I declare it an honourable draw.

My feelings exactly. I thought either Evergarden or Overlord was gonna win, and I'm a cardcaptor fanboy myself.

Unfortunately, my tastes run more towards Love Hina's "Winter Wish" and "koi no tenshi maiorite" when it comes to anime Christmas music. Kind of like how Anime looks at Christmas in the first place... making a "holy night" into a "special night", if you know what I mean.

About that Toradora song. It has the "sa Christmas" line sung multiple times? I don't know... It just sounds wrong to me. It's... On... Hey... Sweet. If the tempo calls for a single syllable word, English has plenty to choose from.

Awesome that Dagashi Kashi 2 almost made it into the Top 10! Smile I thought it would rank near the bottom...

Merry Christmas for all ANN staff and forum anime fans!!!

If you talk about Christmas songs, WHAM's 1984 "Last Christmas" is the first one that come to mind (if you didn't think about the traditional Christmas songs).
But i also remember the episode of Toradora!

About the pool. I'm realty exited to be able to watch the new anime of the Fate franchise. spoiler[Nero Claudius] is a fan favorite in Japan (maybe because she looks a bit like the original Saber).

I think if Netflix didn’t have Evergarden, it may have been first. While it is my most anticipated title of the year, I didn’t vote for it in this poll since it will be spring when I see it

For that poll, Shudan! would be ny choice, but I ain't delusional so I am voting for an actual possibility with Kimetsu. I will be sad if PNL gets an adaptation before it. Kimetsu deserves it so much.

Also love the Sakura love. Bring me one of the best cast of all time back.

I'm just dreaming, but a microbe can dream after all. I'd like Hinomaru-Zumou to be animated.

I am happy to see that after all these years Cardcaptor Sakura is still getting love.

I like the Digimon Tamers Christmas songs. Impmon's a terrible singer (when he's not Beelzemon) but Christmas Alone just makes you pity him even more. Black Xmas is really catchy, and the Digimon Christmas medley's adorable. Hearing Culumon attempt English is so cute and Renamon's rendition of Silent Night is surprisingly good.

Hinomaru Zumou would be a close second for me in the poll. As I've read a good deal of the manga, I actually voted for the Promised Neverland, which I haven't read.

Which current Weekly Shonen Jump title would you like to see adapted into an anime?


Forget current. Can I get proper anime conclusions for series like Reborn, Sket Dance, Eyeshield 21, and Shaman King instead? Thanks.
