Vote Now for the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards

Vote Here!

Voting is officially open for the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards. The voting window will remain open until ~05:00 UTC on Dec. 30th (1 week from this post). I have included the final list of nominees (in case you missed it earlier this week) below with each category as a spoiler tag to help keep them organized.

Voting is done using STAR Voting. So, you will be able to assign each nominee a score from 0-5. The higher your score, the more you want that candidate to win or think it is more deserving. You can assign multiple nominees the same score, indicating that you have no preference between the two of them. For more info on STAR voting, check wikipedia. I have also included below, a quick visual reference to help:

Thank you everybody for taking the time to submit nominations for these awards. I have learned a lot of lessons from this endeavor and have already thought of lots of ways that these can be improved on for next year. So, if you have thoughts/ideas/concerns, definitely share them with me either in this thread or reach out to me privately.

Finally, a reminder that there are also elections happening for manga and light novels as well:

Happy Voting!

As a reminder, here are the nominees:

This year was absolutely amazing. So many great shows it's hard to choose.

Will you be posting a reminder nearer to the closing date?
I'm hoping to watch some of the nominees - and give a more informed vote - instead of just giving them a score of 0, but I don't want to accidentally miss out on voting.
- I am planning on posting a reminder on Friday; a three day warning.

Damn I can't choose one Favorite OP but Shikairo here I comes. Also, I can't believe Braven is also in more than one categories LOL.
- @wjs018@ani.social server is down for me.
  
  Try again. My monitoring just let me know and I restarted things. For some reason the backend docker container went down.

when the only good thing your fav anime has is the op

@hitagi@ani.social Voting has closed now if you could unpin from local. Expect a results post in ~24 hours (I need some sleep).
- Got it! Get lots of sleep, it's New Year soon!

Now that I'm voting I'm realizing that this system seems especially harsh on shows that not many people watched. If a user leaves a bubble blank that's equivalent to a 0? Ouch. If people don't read the instructions they might not realize that they're unintentionally trashing shows they know nothing about.
- I agree with you, but I don't think there is a good way around the issue of name recognition. My preferred voting method (ranked-choice voting) still would have had that issue, but perhaps a bit less punishing. However, the problem that I ran into with the ranking question type used by this survey software is that it wasn't compatible across browsers. That is why I fell back to doing STAR voting instead. I think either is better than simple multiple choice in which you can only vote for a single nominee in each category though.
  This is something I am going to try to work on for the future if we do something like this again.

  I have ideas. Something I wanted for the LN community since day one but don't see ever happening there. Let's get some mods together on discord after this one is done
- I think that's true of any kind of awards voting...
  It's kind of "majority rules" embodied...

  Yes, but the effect is stronger with some voting systems than others.
- shows that not many people watched
  If not many people watch a particular show, then it doesn't deserve to be at the top of its category.
