aniSearch voting 2022: Vote for your favourites of the year!
posted on by DidingIt’s finally back: the aniSearch voting! After a one-year break, this year, you can finally once again choose the aniSearch anime series of the year, anime movie of the year and Miss & Mister aniSearch of the year 2022. And we even brought a surprise in the form of a new voting category: the best anime sequel of the year! You decide who will knock the 2020 winners – Chizuru Ichinose (Miss aniSearch), Anos Voldigoad (Mister aniSearch), “Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense.” (anime series of the year), and “Weathering with You” (anime movie of the year) – off the throne and take the new spot on the pedestal!
Our new concept:
We’ve completely revamped and optimised our old concept – no need for long nomination phases and boring rules! Instead, you can now vote with five simple clicks in the poll system and thus give your vote to your favourites. How is this possible? The editors have already made a pre-selection using the top lists of the year based on the aniSearch statistics.
In this vote, each of you has exactly one vote per category, and there will be no intermediate public results. Only after the voting is finished, the results will be made visible for everyone and the winners will be chosen. This is the only way to keep it exciting until the end! A change of vote is also possible here at any time within the poll period, but does not bring much without public intermediate results.
Selection criteria:
Despite the new concept, we would like to be transparent and explain our selection criteria to you. Because: Honesty is the best policy!
