Hi guys! Today I will show you the results of our Survey for Anime Fans.

First of all, I want to thank all of you that took part in this survey, because you made this possible.

Second, I want to say that the total number of people that took part in this survey so far is 100. I would have liked to have a bigger sample size but this is enough for our needs.

With 100 people sample size, the margin of error is 10%. For example, if 60% of the participants reported a fear of heights, there would be a 95% probability that between 50 and 70% of the total population have a fear of heights.

Of course, the survey will remain open and those of you that haven’t done it till now can still take part in this research that we are doing. Here is the Survey for Anime Fans.

We also have a survey for Gamers. Here is the link. We would really appreciate it if you took the time to complete it.

Now without further ado, let’s see the results.

Gender & Age

We have to say that there were more females than we expected. It seems that it is a myth that the vast majority of anime fans are males.

57% of anime viewers are between 18 and 24 years old. That is something that we believe most of you expected. Nothing surprising in these stats.

Hours per Week

85% of Anime Fans watch anime between 1 and 10 hours. This is also something not surprising.

Favorite Genre

It seems the favorite genre of anime fans is Action with 18%, next comes Psychological with 17% which is a little surprising at least for us cause we believed that the second most popular genre would be Adventure.

The next question is one of the most interesting ones.

Piracy in Anime

According to the answer, 66% of Anime Fans watch anime on a pirate website. Let’s first see the next question and then we will talk more about this number.

89% of Anime Fans would watch anime on a pirate website and 66% of Anime Fans watch anime on a pirate website. Now that 66% could be legit stat but we believe that the number of people that watch anime on a pirate website is much higher.

Probably some people didn’t want to admit doing something illegal so they lied on the first question and told the truth in the second since in the second question they could tell the truth without admitting on doing something illegal. This is our opinion at least, whether you believe it is up to you.

Now the next question.

84% of Anime Fans think that websites, where you can watch pirated anime, should exist. That is a very big number, and it says a lot about the state of the anime industry since many people don’t have access to services to watch anime legally and their only option is to pirate them.

Subscription Fees

Only 32% of Anime Fans pay for a subscription to watch anime. That further proves that the majority of Anime Fans pirate anime.

Let’s see what Anime Fans think about DVDs.

Anime DVDs

It seems only 32% of Anime Fans buy DVDs of anime they like, which isn’t surprising to us.

This next question isn’t a statistic.
