​

It's that time of year again to vote for the best of the best in the anime world. This time, like last year, the focus will be on anime that aired during this past year. What studio impressed you with their quality and creative direction in animation? What Anime did an outstanding job translating a novel or manga into a fluid media? Which voice actors and actresses were able to bring their characters to life? These are some of the categories in which you will be able to nominate and subsequently vote for your series, studio, etc of choice.

Aside from a couple categories, the focus is on Anime that aired in 2017, including Anime that aired in fall 2016 and carried over into 2017 (2 cour series). If you are confused regarding what is eligible or not, please feel free to contact any of us that are involved in running this project.
