Meanwhile, IRODOKU made a surprising upset at #2, beating other Episode 1 standouts like Zombie Land Saga, Bunny Girl-senpai, and SSSS.
However, given it’s Episode 1 impact abroad, it seems like Goblin Slayer didn’t fare so well as most people expected in Japan, only taking 7th place in the Anime! Anime! rankings.
With a 1-hour special, Sword Art Online seems to have raised the expectations for itself in Japan.
The series took #1 in the poll, and from the looks of things, the light novel-based anime will be having a strong run this season.
