Something about Dragon Ball Super being number 1 on Xbox One seems fitting.

Haha, Ace Attorney is in third. That's fun.
It's nothing but trash.

I tried the service a year ago, found nothing worth watching. Seems for people who love any anime, not good anime.
Best taste confirmed.
I'm surprised Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! was that popular, was it any good?
Ah okay, this is basically which console owners watched anime skew the most from the average, not necessarily what they're watching the most.
So if for instance 10 people watched dragon ball super on average per console when tall consoles are considered, but xbox one had the highest part of that with 18 people watching it, that would make it a +80% stat for the xbox one.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that people watch dragon ball super the most on xbox one, there could be an anime that averages 25 users across consoles, and has 25 users on xbox one that watched it as well, but since that would be no change from the average, it doesn't get listed.
At least that's how I'm understanding it.

I'm surprised Re: ZERO is literally on NONE of these lists, simply because it was the most watched anime on Crunchyroll by a landslide this year.
But I do realize most people probably watch Crunchyroll on mobile & PCs.
Still a bit surprising though and kind of funny how perfectly stereotypical almost these selections are by console.

But it has Heybot, so it loses by default.

A lot of anime viewers have crap taste; Haikyuu!! is nowhere on those lists. Too many people sleeping on the best shounen for the last couple years.
That explains a lot of the nonsense shows on here.
Thunderbolt is pretty good.

Is RE:Zero really that good?
Berserk is the most viewed in Italy

Is JoJo actually good? I saw one random episode on TV and it was utter trash.

Can personally confirm, I basically spent the first half of the year catching up on JoJo on my Wii U. Had it hooked up the TV in the living room of my student flat, tended to watch as I ate dinner.
They have stuff named after AC/DC (D4C) so probably, still need to get around to watching it myself

No but it has waifu magic to make it really popular.

It's a bit overrated imo.
I haven't seen Diamond is Unbreakable, but the first three parts are like an animated equivalent of cheesy 80s action movies like Commando.

That right there is your problem.
Crunchyroll has Haikyuu, JoJo, Re:Zero, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, Parasyte, Fate/Zero, Kiznaiver, Orange, Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, Chihayafuru, GTO, Magi, Joker Game, and dozens upon dozens of other great anime shows that cover every single genre in existence. This list is just off the top of my head.
Most of all anime produced is crap, just like most of all films/live-action shows/games/songs/books/anything. Crunchyroll has a lot of crap, but it also has the good stuff.

As anything, taste is very subjective. You'll hear some people who love it and some people who hate it, and everything in-between.
I liked it personally, but I could see why someone else wouldn't like it. To kind of describe it, it starts off in the most stereotypical way possible about a shut-in male protagonist named Sabura finding himself randomly in a fantasy world, but it develops a lot deeper than that as (*minor first episode spoilers, but it's the premise for the whole show*) he resets to a previous 'checkpoint' whenever he dies, and not in a "a-ha, I'm all better now" type of way, it begins to give him PTSD. But it has a pretty likable cast of characters, some very good execution, twists, turns, some good fight scenes, etc.
It has some elements that might drag a bit here and there, but I enjoyed it. If into a show that sort of balances light-hearted and darker themes, can be a bit slow sometimes but with some good pay-off, then I might recommend it. Does have a small harem element but not really fanservicey and not the main focus (and at least in this season it's quite small for harem standards), it basically kind of balances a fantasy anime, a darker grotesque anime, a mystery thriller anime, and a drama anime with some slice-of-life moments, with spills of an action-anime when fights occur (they're infrequent but quite well done).
Basically it subverts what these shows are usually about, it's not an overpowered male-fantasy, but a character who is weak but wants to be strong but suffers for it. Suffering is a big theme through a lot of the first season of Re: ZERO, but it does lace it with likable characters, light-hearted moments, and with logical and well-done execution.
I'll definitely watch the second season whenever it hits, which is usually the biggest compliment I can give a show.
Here's the second OP which I think is far less deceitful than the first OP.
And there's where you're wrong and that's why people like it.
It's not.
I haven't been to crunchyroll since they were one of those 'unofficial' downloading sites that just uploaded any and all anime to watch for free(about 10 years or so ago now), so i have no idea of the type of franchises hosted there, but the elitism in this thread about how some posters consider their tastes so much more superior is very amusing.
Everyone can watch anything they choose dudes and its all opinion
The problem is that you just went from 0 to 100 based on nothing but a basic summary. Don't do that.
Not saying anything about ReZero's quality personally speaking, but its a problem that i see often with opinions that go overboard and hyperbolic.

What I'd consider at least "good":
Sailor Moon Crystal
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinji
Lupin Part 4
Thunderbolt Fantasy
Space Patrol Lulucon
JoJo's
Sound! Euphonium
Yuri on Ice
Drifters
Dragonball Super
Tanaka-kun is Always Listless
So not, much, but eh. Pretty spread out if you ask me.

Why people really like Re:Zero:
They must've done quite the 180º after the first season if it's considered good nowadays.

Real talk, I can't believe the whole waifu thing is still so popular. I mean, these girls all look exactly the same and only have one of four pre-determined personalities. You'd think after the 7364528849593761436th clone of one of the K-ON girls people would get tired, but nope.
Edit: crap, not the post I meant to quote. Mobile never again.
Ehhhh, I personally don't think it's very good, but don't expect the same SAO power fantasy.
That's good to know!

Right behind when they add Goku.
these are 'new' shows mostly currently syndicated. You won't find any old stuff here.
"What r u talkin bout"
Switch update pls
It's an anime about cute girls playing ping pong. It follows a format less like K-ON and more like your typical sports anime.
