We are about to approach the mid-season point for the 2017 Spring Anime Season. By now, enough has been seen of each show to form a pretty good opinion on how good or bad a particular series is. As the usual every season, a poll was conducted in Japan with anime fans in their teens and early twenties as to what they felt were the top 20 anime shows this season.  The results are as follows:

20. Alice & Zoroku – 120 votes
19. The Laughing Salesman – 136 votes
18. Sagrada Reset – 148 votes
17. Tsukigakirei – 156 votes
16. Rin-Ne – 158 votes
15. Fukumenkei Noise – 181 votes
14. Hinako Note – 193 votes
13. Eccentric Family 2 – 218 votes
12. Sakura Quest – 246 votes
11. Kenka Bancho Otome – Girl Beats Boys – 289 votes
10. The Royal Tutor – 303 votes
09. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations – 322 votes
