Submit Nominations Here

Previous Thread | Next Thread

Hey everybody! A couple days ago, @[email protected] reached out to me with an idea. Why don't we try to set up some year-end awards for the communities we moderate? Well, a bit of back and forth, and today, I am glad to announce that we have opened nominations for the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards. The nomination round will remain open until I post next week's general discussion thread (usually late Sunday/early Monday US time). Note that there are partner awards for the manga and light novel communities as well.

Like normal, feel free to also use this thread just like you would a normal discussion thread.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

I guess it's a little late to be saying this, but do you think it might make sense to delay this a bit so that recency bias doesn't hit quite as hard? I'm not too worried about it for manga, but the way anime gets published makes it really easy to just say "Dandadan" without even thinking back to other excellent shows like Bravern that aired earlier this year.

Edit:

Not a huge deal but I also think it would make sense to have separate OP and ED categories.

Recency bias is tough. Even if we held off on this until a month or two into 2025, the Fall shows will still be more recent in the mind than Winter. I do appreciate this concern though. I intend on keeping this in mind when sorting through nominations to make sure that it isn't just all Fall stuff that makes the final list.

As for OP/ED being separate, I actually had it that way originally, but opted to include a couple extra genre categories and collapse them together to keep the total number of categories a bit manageable. Depending on how things go this year and feedback, I am open to splitting them for next year.

While we are at it, what about insert songs? Some of the best songs are not OP or ED, but the insert song e.g. Zenzenzense from Your Name

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I had one insert song I wanted to nominate and I put it into the best soundtrack category.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

OST would probably be the place for insert songs since they are a one-off thing most of the time.
