Statistics derived not just from a sample of anime, but from VIRTUALLY ALL anime made in the digital distribution age (yes I have that much free time). 2011 alone for example has somewhere in the high 70's in percentage win (unusually high that it even surprised me), and IIRC from 2000-2011 the average is somewhere in high 60's (good rule of thumb is 1 lose:2 wins)

My experience has been the complete opposite.

You haven't experienced enough.

In fact I thought the trope (for anime at least) was that the childhood friend always loses.

Common misconception that really grates my nerves, considering THE reason I have anime as my 'waste my time' medium of choice IS because childhood friend wins more often than not there. Very glaring when you compare it to western stuff, where childhood friend has close to zero win.
