posted on by Ko Ransom
The Japanese Internet service provider BIGLOBE posted two February surveys on what anime series fans would most like to see a sequel of. These are not official BIGLOBE surveys, but surveys conducted by users under BIGLOBE's Anime Ranking Maker system.
The first survey, posted by user "Kuraaku," asked users what series they would choose if they were able to see what happens after an anime's ending. 3935 self-selected responses were given for the following 50 series between February 17 and 24.
