When the stress of work has gotten to be too much, we all like to take some time off and just enjoy ourselves for a while. But the question remains, what to do? The weather is great outside, but going out sounds so tiring right now. You could read a book, but right now that feels too close to studying. That’s when the idea hits you – the idea to watch anime. But what should you watch? Well never fear, because goo Ranking has taken a survey asking fans what they think is the best anime to watch on their day off.
The survey was conducted in two sets, divided by gender. The top 5 for both males and females are as follow:
Male:
1. Space Brothers
2. Attack on Titan
3. Ghost in the Shell
4. Puella Magi Madoka Magica
5. Toshokan Sensō
Female:
1. Space Brothers
2. Attack on Titan
3. Natsume’s Book of Friends
4. Toshokan Sensō
5. Silver Spoon
The surveys go on to record up to the top 35 anime for both men and women. What are your thoughts? Discuss your favorite anime to watch on your lazy day in the forums.
