Crunchyroll is without a doubt, the leading anime streaming platform in North America. However, Japan uses a different service from Docomo titled D-Anime store, to stream their anime. In a recent poll, the site asked its subscribers to rank this current season's crop of shows. Eromanga Sensei came in first place, followed by Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor in second place and Attack on Titan season 2 in third. As you can see, Japan's anime taste are far different from what we enjoy over in the States, Canada and Mexico. Check out the full poll results below.
[Note: Shows like My Hero Academia, Re: Creators and Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul were not included because they don't stream on D-anime.]
