Workers have their own standards before choosing a workplace, such as corporate value, salary, working hours, free health insurance, or delicious cafeteria menus.
A company’s reputation largely depends on the workers’ and applicants’ evaluations.
If the fictional dark forces from animations opened their job vacancies to public in realty, which would pose as the most popular workplace?
“Anime Anime,” a Japanese animation online news site, asked 2,028 people, “Which dark force in animation would you like to work for the most?” from Apr. 5-9.

The most attractive dark force as a workplace was “Army of Demon Soldiers” from TV animation series “Silver Soul” (2006).
The site explained that the force was tops thanks to the animation’s popularity and the force’s justifiable moral approach.
In the animation, the army claims itself as an extremist group trying to destroy the rotten world. Twenty percent of female respondents chose this force.
“Team Rocket” from the worldwide popular TV animation series “Pokemon” (1997) ranked second. The team has been the main evil group in the decades-long animation series.
Viewers loved the team for its friendly attitude and humor. Male respondents chose the team as their most favorite dark force to join as an employee.
The third was “Dark Organization” from “Detective Conan” (1996). Allegedly, the organization is a secret criminal syndicate with a hidden objective. It continually commits various crimes to accomplish its missions, and agents’ code names are based on alcoholic beverages.
Female respondents chose the organization as the second most attractive criminal group for whom to work.
Anime Anime said, “The criminal groups that can justify their actions with moral values were the most popular.”
Meanwhile, most respondents replied, “I really do not want to work for the dark force.”
The rest of the ranking are:
4. “Dawn” from “Naruto” (2007).
5. “Principality of Zeon” from “The Gundam Series” (1979).
6. “Shishio Team” from “Samurai X” (1996).
7. “Doronbo Gang” from “Yatterman” (1977).
8. “Arrancar” from “Bleach” (2004).
9. “Galactic Empire” from “Star Wars” (2003).
10. “Kuronosu-kai” from “Sakura Wars” (2000).
