Hello everybody,
What better way to start the year then with a look back, or more precisely the results of the first ever anime awards that were held on WordPress. After a careful selection by a wonderful group of performers: Cactus Matt, Derek Lyons, Marthaurion, Matt Doyle, Jon Spencer, Karandi, Star & Luna, BiblioNyan, Lethargic Ramblings, Ano Nora, Ty-chama, Mech Anime Reviews, itsaanimething, and myself, our intrepid ringmaster the great and wonderful Ayano presented all the categories to you in this amazing post. After that all of you voted for your favorites for which we all thank you so much! But alas, the carnival closed at the stroke of midnight on december the 31st 2018. However, the carnival has one last trick up it’s sleave, and that’s presenting you with the results of your votes. Before I get to that, I want to thank all the performers named above for their wonderful contributions. Without you this amazing project would not have been possible.
But I save the final thanks for Ayano, who’s tireless efforts on this project was truly the driving force without whom these awards would never have seen the light of day. So really, thank you and be proud of yourself! I have had a blast participating in this, and can only hope that this year we can do it again! (Hint, hint, hint). Now…without further ado:

Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure! I’m still a little surprised by some of the category results, but mostly pleased on how different the outcome was. It’s refreshing to see so many other anime get to be winners instead of just the more popular anime series. Everyone that worked on this project was amazing. I can’t thank you all enough 💖

I think there should be an award for Most Bonkers/weird Title of an anime, and I’d give it to That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime with runner up Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny-girl Senpai. 🙂 well done for all the hard work on this.

Thank you so much Pete 😊 Pretty much all of these were from last year’s anime offerings (besides the recurring ones).

The fans have spoken and we have listened! The results of the first ever WordPress Anime Awards are in!
Honestly, I’m surprised and pleased at the broad range of shows represented. Some were the ones I suspected, others were a bit of a surprise… But it does show that anime fandom isn’t monolithic and does like a broad variety.
Of course, it goes without saying that I’m pleased the fans recognized Yorimoi! 🙂
Anyhow, check ’em out and let me know your thoughts down in the comments!
