Anime of the Year

[blaZofgold]

Those are it for the nominations! If your nomination didn't make it through, I'm sorry about that, I had to make cuts and changes in various places. If you have anything to complain about, please direct them to the judge, which is me.

Though there isn't much time, the live voting round will be hosted on February 16th at 10:00 AM PST. Please tune in and vote for your favorites live! The livestream will take approximately 2-3 hours, feel free to come and leave as your schedule permits.

If you can't make the livestream, feel free to PM me your ballot between now and the start of the stream. Your votes will count, however in tiebreaker situations I will remove all offline votes and only count the live votes. If you want to spare your favorite series from tiebreak heartbreak, make sure you show up in person!

Feel free to use the rest of the thread to discuss your thoughts and opinions about the nominations and more, and I'll see you on the 16th!
