What are these nominees? The most no name anime I've ever seen. Like who watches every 0815 anime with 5-7/10 star reviews? I dont need One Piece or Naruto but at least something that people actually have watched. I couldnt vote for most of the nominees...
Lunoki
It was a good year.

Sousou no Frieren deserves no. 1...change my mind

I wish there were more options in the categories. However, I praise that the choice options are very diverse. Moreover, the subtitles for each category clearly express what the categories demand.

KamiNaki is Broke limit for ugly anime, this is ugly but best anime for ugly aime for whole time. For Romance to me is Koori Zokusei But Niehime no Kemono give romance anime expreience which has been lost for a long time, have political and complex wolrd building.

This year was an interesting year for me as I usually only watch isekia's but I decided to give a couple romance animes a shot and now I can't stop watching them even if they leave me an emotional wreak afterwards.
Fangedviper
Many captivating animes appeared this year. And many votes that were too hard to distinguish between whos the most fitting for the vote. But with the amount of rediculous titles i can say this year deserves the corniest 4 seasons of anime of all time. And i enjoyed it
eequaled
Anime is so good!

Truly a blessed year in Anime, so many great shows.

People will keep saying "This is the year for anime" each year at this rate, just look at these candidates. It's very hard to choose from either ;-:

A great year for Romance, Comedy and Slice of Life. There were many good ones beyond the popular ones. The OP and EDs were top-class. One of greatest years in indie anime history. Looking forward to 2024 to replicate the same. Ara~ ara~ sayonara~
