Every year has one show that's so popular it even leaks into normal people's attention. 2013 had Attack on Titan
2014 had Tokyo Ghoul
2015 had One Punch Man
2016 had Re;Zero (debatable)
This year has what Eromanga Sensei? Boku no Hero?
pic unrelated
literally nothing (((yet)))
i don't watch non-hand-drawn, i couldn't tell you an anime that came out after naruto
Isn't BnH nosales?
According to my weeb IRL friends it's KonoSuba or LWA
>>159891641
Little Witch is still niche unlike Boku no Hero. KonoSuba I didn't think anyone cared about.
>>159891504
Kemono Friends
>>159892395
I thought only furries cared about that
>>159891504
dragon ball super boruto and second season of attack on titan
Easily Boku no Hero. Eromanga is too deviant for the normalfag-audience. Kemono Friends doesn't seem as popular here as it is in Japan. It's popular, but its not 'the big thing' of this year over here.
Normies love heroac

It's not Eromanga-sensei because normalfags only watched it ironically, and they'd rather eat their own vomit than enjoy a show with a very sexualized 12 years old girl.
It's most likely AoT2 because it's more AoT, LWA because it's Trigger (despite being niche as some anon said), or BnHA because new big shounen.
Boku no Hero or SnK2, if that counts

Your're favorite anime OP.
attack on titan again
>>159892577
Trigger is what normal people watch when they think they're deeper into anime than they actually are. Anime analysis YouTubers, for example.

>Eromanga is too deviant for the normalfag-audience
I disagree. I think a combination of Kanna from Maid Dragon and Eromanga Sensei has caused lolicon to become normiefag shit. Mods aren't even deleting lolicon/pedoshit threads that they used to before, mods are fapping to Kanna and Eromanga Sensei.

You're describing RebelTaxi now
>>159891504
Either LWA or AoT, though neither reached the level of casual appeal of their predecessors. We still have five or so months, give it a bit.

You're trying too hard to fit in.

Maid dragon for some reason
The easiest way to find out normie popularity is to see how many people are cosplaying the series and how easy/acessible it is to buy the cosplay. Anyone can buy a SnK getup or D.va suit.
>>159892708
I have no problem with Kanna but for some reason I'm pretty embarrassed by Eromanga-Sensei. It's like it awakened a long-dead normalfag in me. It may have been a combination of me getting sick of
>That thing you like that makes you a fucking loser is loved by these cute submissive girls and they even participate in its creation
premises. Along with the main relationship having the MC as the caretaker for Sagiri, who might have been TOO innocent and socially inept for me to find the romance endearing. It was also made like it was Oreimo for people who were put off by Oreimo's commitment, so at this point we're reaching levels of cynical merchandising focus that shouldn't even be possible.
Maid dragon, SnK 2, BnHA and LWA are all popular amongst general audience
2016 was yuri on ice
>normie
Fuck off, it's your favourite anime.

Hello, normalfag.
It is actually Boku no Hero Academia (for both 2015 and 2016).
Based on a quick glimpse for both illegal and legal streaming sites views and statistics, it's Boku Hero, SnK, Maidragon and KonoSuba.
>Harry Potter for even younger kids is 'niche'
Yeah nah, LWA is the normalfag anime this year
>>159895814
It wasn't that popular in the west, or in Japan for that matter. Go to any popular streaming or torrenting site and shows like Boku no Hero or Maidragon have 5 times as many downloads/views.
