Something interesting titles on that list. From it so far, I'd vote for Mob Psycho 100. Sekai Oni would also make an interesting adaptation; probably 1 cour would work though.

That is a cool idea. I wonder if this and another publishers would one day be open to let international fans (assuming that this voting app is only open to Japan) vote on what gets animated.

That almost sounds like they invite poll sways.

I'm not familiar with any of the mangas offered, but I've seen that Psycho Mob 100 and Sekai Oni get good reviews, so I guess those 2 are the top contenders.

I know none of those titles listed there.

However, this is a pretty interesting concept. Let fans decide what anime to become adapted, I think its a great system for both the fans and the production studios.

Well, they probably don't mind them, since they're still a reflection of fan enthusiasm. A group of fans who are willing to ballot-stuff are probably also willing to buy lots of DVD's and merch if the series becomes an anime.

Most popular series from Urasunday are Kengan Ashura, Mob and Helck (in this order). I think the fight will be between three of them maybe Hito Kui, Sekai Oni or 339 have a chance but I really do think something from mentioned 3 series will win. I really like Mob but it would be interesting to see Kengan Ashura adapted, it looks pretty badass.

I'm pretty sure that was intentional--someone who votes early and votes often would be a pretty dedicated fan and one most likely to watch that anime adaptation. That, and I'd bet they're also gauging which series has the most dedicated fanbase, as that'd also help the show stay afloat.

It's unfair that Sinbad is disqualified just because it's gotten the OVAs that have cut out so much story and are overall kind of mediocre. The original manga is fantastic, full of fun, adventure and colorful characters, and the OVAs haven't done it any justice. It deserves a proper adaptation, damn it.

To be fair, the article doesn't specify which form of adaptation the chosen manga will recieve. It could be TV, movie, OVA (home release), or ONA (web release).

Mob psycho


Actually, you can vote for every series just changing the h.t.t.p://urasunday.com/.../comment.html
For example:
Chōeki 339-nen
Helck
IT'S MY LIFE, etc.
