Sailor Moon Dominates Popularity Contest

Last week the animation company Toei conducted a poll through the Anime News Network asking “Which of the following Toei titles would you be interested on viewing by Video on Demand?” and despite there being nearly 50 options in the poll Sailor Moon came out on top with an astounding 63.7% of users, that being 2535 people, voting for it. Keep in mind that users could still vote for more than one show at a time but this still made Sailor Moon the clear winner of the pool with more votes than any other.

Thanks to Sailor Moon fan site Genvid‘s users and staff for bringing this poll to the attention of fans and voting in it. That being said this is not simply a case of a web site ganging up and swaying the results of a poll. Sailor Moon was well ahead of the game when this poll was first noticed by fans.

Without a doubt this shows that there is clear interest in the anime fan community in Sailor Moon, despite the show no longer being licensed in the international market. The results of this poll are to be taken into consideration when releasing shows on demand for cable and IPTV.
