How many new romance animes come out per month?

Question

How many new romance animes come out every month? I looked in genre search in animenewsnetwork for 2008 and it said so far only 47 romance animes have come out this year, personally I dont think that is all that much, how many would come out a month?

Answer 1

It depends in Japan, because there is a like a voting system, depends on the mangaka, and depends on how popular the manga is. Some like Vampire Knight, Special A, The Wallflower, and a some others were voted for most popular in Japan that they were introduced later as an anime. So, depending on how many romance anime come out in a month, its most likely 0.5/10. If the newtype magazine was out in stores, people would know what anime is aired in Japan right at that given moment, or what new anime would be playing.

47 romance anime, huh? Doesn't sound much.
