AT-X Reveals Anime Rankings for 2023
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
At the end of the year, the Japanese anime cable channel AT-X polls its viewers on their favorite series of the year, and 2023 was no different. However, there is one twist. In conjunction with AT-Xs 25th anniversary, the channel polled its viewers on several other categories for a total of seven different polls. AT-X announced the results on December 29.

AT-X also has one more category that doesn't seem to fit into the two larger groups. This is the Favorite VA/Original AT-X Program. While not anime, the programs are tangentially related to it. Taking the top three slots are Tokyo Encounter, Tokyo Encounter Two, and Analog Banban Big Bang. Both Tokyo Encounter and its follow-up Tokyo Encounter Two are shows where the hosts play videogames with guest voice actors. Analog Banban Big Bang on the other hand is closer to a variety show with games. Unfortunately, none of the shows are available outside of Japan.
While AT-X isn't available outside of Japan, it's interesting to see what Japanese viewers find are the top anime series and anime songs. As stated above, the results of the AT-X Anime Ranking 2023 and AT-X Anime Ranking 2023 Second-half are available on the AT-X home page. AT-X also has a dedicated page for the AT-X 25th Anniversary polls as well. This page also has a link where you can see all the entries for the polls, of which there are quite a few.
