[Nomination Phase] AnimeSuki Choice Awards 2020

[Haak]

Nomination Phase Starts 1st of January, 2021 (GMT+0) Ends 19th of January, 2021 (EST+0) Voting Phase Starts 22nd of January, 2021 (GMT+0) Ends 31st of January, 2021 (EST+0) Happy New Year! Welcome to the AnimeSuki Choice Awards! Each year we hold a competition where you can vote for the best anime of the year in various categories. We have a Handy Helper to help you with building the post. Format Since their inception the awards have been organized in a two-stage format. As of 2018 awards we use the Instant-Runoff Voting system for counting. A nomination phase, where you could nominate up to three shows for each category. You have FIVE (5) picks! Pick as many or as few as you like. Rank them by what you like more at the top, just like a top 5. We'll count them using the Instant-Runoff Voting system (aka. Alternative Vote). To get 2nd place, we'll remove the 1st place winner(s) and re-run the vote. For 3rd place we'll remove 1st and 2nd. For 4th we'll remove 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Etc. The top 5 ranks will move forward. If there are ties, they will be included. There can be no more than 5 entries. In case of too many ties entries will be eliminated starting from the 5th rank group. Entries with higher rank and more votes will take priority. If that is not enough then we will favour based on MAL favourites. For Movies and OVAs we will add up the favourites of the source if there is one; since they get less exposure compared to TV series. We will treat the first that is "parent story", "prequel" or "sequel" (in that order) as the source, be it TV or otherwise. For characters, the favourites on the character are used. For people categories favourites for the person in question are used. After nominations are over we'll move into... A voting phase, where we pick the final winner for each category. Instant-Runoff Voting will be used to count the tally, there is no limit on picks. Just rank them based on preference, favourites at the top. Extra Categories Starting 2018 awards we have Extra Categories, denoted by the X tag. Like all other categories they are optional! You can just skip them. Unlike other categories, they might not be there next year! Mainly because they're hard categories to do and also to vote for. For this year we have... -{X1}- [Best Ongoing Series] Same as all other years. Vote for a series that's ongoing. -{X2}- [Best Credits Theme] This is the same category of other years. e.g. My Fav Series OP2, My other Fav ED1, etc -{X3}- [Best Adventure Series] Best adventure, focused on adventure part (we have dedicated storytelling and action categories). -{X4}- [Best Character Design] Which series has the best character aesthetic and art style? -{X5}- [Best Surprise] Which series was the best surprise? -{X6}- [Guilty Pleasure] Which series did you enjoy watching, that you probably shouldn't. Eligible TV series ended airing in 2020 OVAs that have been released in 2020 Movies whose DVD/BD were released in 2020 Not Eligible Compilation/Summary movies. DVD/BD extras, bundles and specials Split-cour anime that have not finished (See Appendix 1) Complete List of Eligible Shows handpicked by Kairin TL;DR… list Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload? Anything not on the list is NOT eligible with the exception of the Ongoing category and votes will be deemed invalid when processed. If you think a show meets the criteria but is not on the list please contact me.

How to Vote Vote tallying is automated so pay attention! You may vote in the following categories (You do NOT have to vote in every category): Copy/Paste the marked area to a post and follow the format OR use the following helper to generate the required text -{A1}- [Best Storyline] -{A2}- [Best Visuals] -{A3}- [Best Action] -{A4}- [Best Sound Direction] -{A5}- [Best World Setting] -{B1}- [Best Fantasy & Supernatural] -{B2}- [Best Science Fiction] -{B3}- [Best Sports Series] -{C1}- [Best Romance] -{C2}- [Best Comedy] -{C3}- [Best Drama] -{C4}- [Best Slice of Life] -{C5}- [Best Relaxing & Carefree] -{D1}- [Best TV Series] -{D2}- [Best OVA] -{D3}- [Best Movie] -{E1}- [Best Female Lead] -{E2}- [Best Male Lead] -{E3}- [Best Antagonist] -{E4}- [Best Side-Character] -{E5}- [Best Female VA] -{E6}- [Best Male VA] -{X1}- [Best Ongoing Series] -{X2}- [Best Credits Theme] -{X3}- [Best Adventure Series] -{X4}- [Best Character Design] -{X5}- [Best Surprise] -{X6}- [Guilty Pleasure]

For Best Producer-san (X4) write it as Staff Position / Series Name You can go over the limit of 5, we'll just ignore the extras.

For most categories, including Best Cast (X6) you just write the Series Name. The exceptions are:

• For Best Credits Theme (X2) you need to write it as: Series Name OP3 or Series Name ED2 etc.
  
• For character categories (E1, E2, E3, E4) you need to write it as Character Name / Series Name
  
• For Best Female VA (E5) & Best Male VA (E6) you need to write just the person's name (not some character name!).
  

These rules affect voting...

• Ongoing series can only be voted in X1 and X2
• Has to be eligible (see list of eligible shows above)
• You can only vote a show in TWO of the genre categories (the E categories).

So from the top...
in case you're still confused by the above image tutorial

1. Copy the text above and paste in your post.
2. Then write after each category your favourites separating each by a comma (or in a bbcode-list).
3. When you want to abstain from a category you delete the line, or leave it blank.
4. When you vote in a character category you write: Character Name / Series Name
5. When you vote in a song categories you write: Series Name OP1 OR Series Name ED3 (replace 1 and 3 with the correct numbers for your choices)
6. As long as you don't mess up the category name, which includes the verification tags (i.e. A1, A2, etc.) the vote will be counted just fine
7. Even if you do make mistakes we'll do our best to invalidate as little as possible.
8. You CAN change your nominations by editing your post. You can always just vote for certain categories and decide the rest later (or not at all). You can edit your nominations as much as you want as long as it's before the deadline stated at the top. Tallying is automated and we do it several times including after the deadline to account for any changes you may have made.
   

Got it? That's all there is to it, have fun!

But I can't spell the names to save my life!

Don't worry, most people make some kind of typo or mistake. We know, we've seen plenty; including our own.

What you should know,

• We have created a Handy Helper for specific purpose of making it easier for you to format your choices.
  
  
• Errors are checked by humans! The tally is automated, but any errors or "potentially confusing" entries are resolved by us (the organizers).
  So, with the exception of obscure references, nothing that you would write in an average post would ever count as an error.
  
  
• We periodically post an error report with whatever made it past our eyes and research. The report contains detailed information on where, and why.
  And don't fret if you're on it, (if possible) other categories and valid series in the problem category will all be counted just fine.

What does the error report usually consist of? Well from last year, typically...

• clear rule violation, such as voting for Movies in a TV category
• very obscure series aliases, more often character names
• overly malformed posts; typically incorrectly formatted song categories, or character categories without the series name. On occasion failure to copy/paste the categories tags altogether
• and sometimes (rarely) ineligible series get nominated

That's about all of them. See, you don't have to worry about your typing being a problem.

---

We have special rules for numerous scenarios and edge cases. A lot of these don't affect voting, just how we determine winners or what's allowed and what's not.
For the shortlist of what you need to know when voting, see above in the How To Vote tutorial.
For the complicated stuff, you'll find all the details you'll ever want to know below.

If you find some odd case that's not covered, just talk with us about it. Most of these were added this way.

Appendix #1
Extra Details on Rules, Voting & Categories

Split Cour & Ongoing Series Rules

• Ongoing Series are eligible only for the {X1}, and {X2} Categories (and are not listed).
  
  
• Split-Cour TV anime are considered as one whole series (as opposed to two or more separate seasons with separate listings).
  As such a Split-Cour anime that has finished its first cour this year but is due to start its second cour next year will be considered as an Ongoing Series.
  
  
• A Split-Cour series is defined as a TV series that finishes at a certain date but continues airing within 1 season/cour (approximately three months).
  
  
• Prequels, spin-offs or other related series that are not a chronological continuation of the same story are considered as distinct and have separate listings.
  
  
• Movies that are parts of an over-arching story are considered as one whole series. As such, if the DVD/BD of the last episode has not yet been released then it is considered an Ongoing Series.

Character Category Rules

• During nominations a character may be nominated as both Lead Character, Side-Character as well as Antagonist, and may also be nominated as Male and Female at the voters discretion.
  
  
• In cases of unambiguous gender. If a character looks like a female and is also a female then she is not eligible in the Best Male Lead and is removed before the above applies. Same for unambiguous male characters.
  
  
• If a character dresses with female clothes but acts and talks like a male, and is a male, then the character is treated as a male (regardless of his cross-dressing quirks) and results in the female category is discarded. Same for females dressing like males (but this should be more obvious and go without saying). If this is, for whatever reason, debatable or confusing (e.g. characters that also fall into anthropomorphic-tropes such as "catgirl" Ferris from Re:Zero) the character is considered of ambiguous gender and other rules apply.
  
  
• If a character is nominated in both a Lead Character category and the Supporting Character Category then only one may go through to the second phase. The nomination with the least votes is discarded.
  
  
• In case of ties, the priority is as follows: Lead Male/Female Lead, Antagonist, Side-Character. In case of ties for ambiguous gender characters (i.e. traps) even if the actual gender is known, the physical appearance takes precedence.
  

  Example: If Ferris from Re:Zero was voted in all character categories and also happens to be tied in all of them, then "he" will be voted in Best Female Lead. Reason being that since he looks and acts as a female, most of the characteristics by which he would be compared are "female character characteristics" (at least with regard to anime logic).

Confused about the categories?

The contest is open to your interpretation. We have narrowed down the meaning to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings, so as long as the title "Best of [insert-category]" fits the series in question then it's fine by us. Don't worry about it and have fun.

Edit: And of course Kumiko

-{E2}- [Best Male Lead]

1. Miyuki Shirogane / Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2
2. Yuu Ishigami / Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2

Is Magatsu Wahrheit in the Handy Helper?

[Haak]

Hibike Euphonium Movie 3 has been added to the Movie List and Magatsu Warheit Zuerst has been added to the TV list. It will take a bit longer for it to appear in the Handy Helper but they can also be free typed if you don't want to wait.

Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel has been removed from the Movie List. The BD for the third and final episode for this movie series isn't released yet.

[EDIT]

Assault Lily Bouquet has also been added.

[Nachtwandler]

Oh. It's that time already.

Assault Lily: Bouquet is missing in TV series list for some reason.

I am actually a bit disappointed because of lack of music series category. There is normally a bunch of good ones each year.

So my list is a bit on the short side. I ended up dropping a bunch of stuff this year in favour of catching up on my backlog instead. Overall there were some stand out shows but not many and I'm still behind on some of the ones I really wanted to watch (like oregairu S3) so I'm actually looking forward to the nomination results to see what the Animesuki Hivemind is suggesting this year
