Top 10 anime, manga & Japanese video game rankings — poll results for US, Europe, and Asia regions

While the general pop culture scene in Japan died down since the turn of the millennium, its anime, manga and video game markets have maintained its hold among its global fans.

A recent poll conducted all over the world from France, England and Poland in the EU, to the US/Oceania and even Asia (including Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam) asked anime, manga, and Japanese video game fans which series and creators they liked the most.
