Japanese news site Anime! Anime! asked its readers which light novel-based anime deserve a sequel. More than 20 light novel adaptations made prior to 2016 were listed, and voters were only allowed to pick one title. The poll saw more than 2,500 fans responding, with an almost even male/female split. Their top ten choices are below!

Slayers won first place, you all! Everything else on the list is newer, and a lot of it is really, really popular (stuff like SAO), so that’s pretty amazing.
