In December, Biglobe announced the results of its official survey results on which winter anime that voters were most interested in. Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Dai-Ni-Maku, Nisemonogatari, and Listen to Me Girls, I'm Your Father! topped that poll. Biglobe also conducted a survey in January on the most popular fall anime. Fate/Zero, Ben-To, and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai ranked at the top.
