Anime Anime is one of the leading news outlets for anime in Japan, and every year it conducts a survey to gather opinions from fans about which anime series they would like to see a sequel for the most. While many anime today are often adaptations from existing manga or novels, original series still hold a strong place in the hearts of devoted anime fans, even if they are less frequent.
Below is the result of the top 10 original anime series that fans most want to have a sequel, based on a survey conducted from October 27 to 31, 2016:
10. Darker Than Black
9. Macross
8. Den-noh Coil
7. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
6. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
5. Shirobako
4. Code Geass
3. Mononoke
2. Psycho-Pass
1. Tiger & Bunny
While many anime adaptations tend to receive criticism for diverging from their original source material, original series offer filmmakers the creative freedom to develop content from scratch, choosing themes and narratives that resonate with audiences. This is precisely why the demand for sequels of original series remains high among anime fans, as these original works often feel more personalized and unique.
The reason some series, even with a conclusive ending or a sequel already in place, still rank highly in this survey is indicative of the enduring popularity of titles like “Macross” and “Psycho-Pass.”
