• An anime wins Top 25 Shows Show of the Year for the ninth time in ten years, but this season’s Pretty Cure show gets beaten in points at the last minute! That denies the Pretty Cure show Show of the Year for the second time in five years.

The chart.

• Etotama wins Show of the Year for 2015. It ekes out a narrow victory in points over Go! Princess PreCure 476-471. A last minute T-10 chart No. 1 on the Dec. 19 chart put it over the top. It led the T-10 chart eleven times in 2015, including a ten consecutive week reign from Apr. 18 to Jun. 20, the fourth longest No. 1 streak in T-10 chart history.
• Etotama managed to break several grossing records this year including the monthly grossing records for a 4-week month in May (1.91 billion) and for a 5-week month in June (2.35 billion). It also broke -- and still holds -- the No. 1 week grossing record on the T-10 chart on June 13 (505 million).
• Etotama was the 4^th biggest grossing show of the year with 12.37 billion grosses.
• Go! Princess PreCure, the leading show all year long, finished 2^nd. A sudden drop off in strength on the T-10 chart caused its late drop. It won eight No. 1’s on the T-10 chart, with its last No. 1 coming on July 18. Princess led the Annual Gross Races chart longer than any other show (25 weeks). It was the Annual Gross Races chart leader from June 13 to November 28 and finished 2^nd on the AGR chart with 15.32 billion grosses.
• Princess led the Top 25 Shows chart in March and April. It also spent its first six weeks on the T-10 chart at No. 1, tying the record for the longest consecutive week streak following a No. 1 debut (set by R.O.D the TV in 2009). It led the T-10 chart from Feb. 7 to Mar. 14.
• How It’s Made finished 3^rd. It led the Top 25 Shows chart in May and was the biggest grossing show of 2015 grossing 16.31 billion grosses.
• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic finished 4^th. Pony got off to a slow start in the first half of the season, primarily because of Etotama’s long run at No. 1 on the T-10 chart. It came back in the second half winning three No. 1’s.
