So what had been the highest 20 outcomes? Happily, we do not have to look at this system if the Sosenkyo X/Tweet account point out them out:

20. “Guren no Yumiya” by Linked horizon (Assault on Titan)
19. “Shinzo wo Sasageyo!” By Linked horizon (Assault on Titan)
18. “Akuma no Ko” by Ai Higuchi (Assault on Titan)
17. “Tank! By SAFETY BELTS (Cowboy Bebop)
16. “Kaikai Kitan” by Eve (Jujutsu Kaisen)
15. “Silhouette” by KANA-BEAN (Naruto Shippuden)
14. “Butterfly” by Koji Wada (Digimon journey)
13. “Cha-la Head-cha-la” by Hironobu Kageyama (Dragon Ball Z)
12. “Gurenge” by LiSA (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba)
11. “Samurai Coronary heart (Some Like It!!) by SPYAIR (Gintama)
10. “Ao no Sumika” by Tatsuya Kitani (Jujutsu Kaisen)
09. “Once more” by YUI (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
08. “We’re!” By Hiroshi Kitadani (A chunk)
07. “SpecialZ” by King Gnu (Jujutsu Kaisen)
06. “Blue Fowl” by Ikimono gakari (Naruto Shippuden)
05. “Kick Again” by Kenshi Yonezu (Chainsaw man)
04. “Unraveling” by TK by Ling Toshite Sigure (Tokyo Ghoul)

If we have a look at the fourth to twentieth locations, we see many comparatively trendy collection, with a robust present Jujutsu Kaisen And Assault on Titan. Granted, there are a handful of older collection, however we get the sensation that the anime track rankings had been influenced extra by what’s at the moment widespread than by songs etched into the collective reminiscence of anime followers around the globe.

Shockingly, this isn’t the case for 2 of the three podium finishes:

03. “Will V no Uta” by Mitsuko Horie (V-turns)
02. “Idol” by YOASOBI (Oshi no Ko)
01. “The Theorem of a Merciless Angel” by Yoko Takahashi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

We do not see a few of what Japanese anime followers would think about fundamental anime songs, like ‘Touch” by Yoshimi Iwaski (To the touch), “Sekai ga Owaru Made wa” by Wands (Slam Dunk), and “Mezase Pokémon Grasp” by Rika Matsumoto (Pokemon). However that is what makes some of these polls fascinating to look at.

After all, writing down a high 20 listing would not actually imply three hours of programming; David Letterman’s Prime Ten section was barely two minutes lengthy. So this system additionally aired interviews with worldwide anime followers and dwell performances of a number of the songs, making for a enjoyable three hours.

Sadly, the particular just isn’t out there on any streaming service in Japan or overseas. So will probably be tough to look at the particular. However it’s nonetheless attainable to see the outcomes and a few feedback concerning the Sosenkyo X/Tweet account earlier than they’re buried by the subsequent particular’s ballot. Most of the songs are additionally out there on audio streaming providers. So when you see a track you do not know, give it a hear and perhaps even fall down the rabbit gap of anime songs.
