Tower Records Shinjuku’s Annual Anisong Rankings have finally been announced and this year’s winner is hardly surprising at all, Linked Horizon‘s extremely popular opening song for the popular shounen anime Attack on Titan, Guren no Yumiya.

20) ZIGAEXPERIENTIA by Supercell (album)- contains Katanagatari OP
Looks like 2013 truly is Nana Mizuki’s year since the voice actress has taken the #2, #3 and the #4 spots thanks largely to her partner-in-crime T.M. Revolution. Their two Valvrave singles rocked out the anisong charts so its hardly surprising that both songs made it to the top 5.
2013 is truly the year of titans and it is evident with Linked Horizon’s Guren no Yumiya taking in the #1 spot as well as the anime’s OST taking in tghe #9 spot. Guren no Yumiya has been so popular that the song was parodied and even made into a meme… just like Attack on Titan character Levi.
