YGGDRASIL ANIME AWARDS PRIZE PRESENTATION
Hello there everybody and WELCOME to the ceremony you have all been waiting for ;) The voting from our honorable and wise jury is over and the results are in, we are ready to announce the winners of the Yggies 2019!
Male Character of the Year
We start with Best Male of 2018 and therefore with the most unpredictable award of the evening. As the jury was extremely split in their opinions on this one, only a handful of guys were able to even make more than one Top 5 list, and the winner had just 21pts, a number we will see surpassed by far in the other categories. Nevertheless, here are the Top 3:
3rd place went to Italy as BRUNO BUCCELLATI got a massive late push, knocking Iori Kitahara off the podeum by one point! The 20-year old from Jojo´s Bizarre adventure takes home the BRONZE medal!
SILVER went to YULIY from Sirius, who is also just one point ahead of Bruno. He might still be mad though as Sirius watchers could not agree on who to support as his brother Mikhail got 14pts himself, finishing in 5th place! This plus a massive plot twist with the very last result coming in took away the title from him because...
...our final judge @Sethlans heaved SAICHI SUGIMOTO from 8th place all the way to 1st by voting him his favorite guy of 2018! Therefore at a total of 21pts, "Immortal Sugimoto" from Golden Kamuy takes the GOLD medal, the Yggie and most importantly the title of "Male Character of the Year 2018!"
GOLD: SAICHI SUGIMOTO (Golden Kamuy)
SILVER: YULIY (Sirius)
BRONZE: BRUNO BUCCELLATI (Jojo´s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind)
Female Character of the Year
We now move on to Best Girl, always one of the big highlights in anime! However, this competition was only close in the battle for Silver and Bronze as we had one runaway winner who just stole the show in the eyes of our judges!
In the fight for BRONZE, there was good early support for Mai Sakurajima, but that stopped and she could only watch as she was passed by 1pt by YUU KOITO (Bloom Into You). This is a little surprise as no girl from Bunny Girl Senpai managed to climb the podium!
At 21pts, RIN SHIMA claimed a well deserved SILVER medal and was therefore "best of the rest". Well done to Yuru Camp´s quiet character :) We will be looking forward to more winter camping with her later in 2019!
BUT as mentioned before there was no contest whatsoever for 1st place. The favorite character of three judges and thanks to some additional support stacking up 36pts, creating a sizeable 15-point gap to everybody else was none other than Hinamatsuri´s one and only ANZU!!! She takes GOLD and the title of "Best Female Character of 2018!" Hina can only look on in jealousy as she picks up her Yggie on stage :)
GOLD: ANZU (Hinamatsuri)
SILVER: RIN SHIMA (Yuru Camp)
BRONZE: YUU KOITO (Bloom Into You)
Anime of the Year
With that, the character categories have been decided and now we can move on to the pinnacle of the evening! Who have you, the lovely members of this wonderful club picked as the Best Anime of 2018??? For this category, you guys could also give away special awards (each worth 3pts) and you did so quite creatively and also in good numbers so thank you all for that!
Little did i know these special prizes would decide an absolutely breathtaking duel for the title between two absolutely amazing anime! After massive early support and three 1st places in the first two days, it appeared as if Violet Evergarden would destroy the rest of the field. But it was Sora yori mo Tooi Basho who hung in there with consistency. On the final day, the gap was down to 9pts, and yes, the final judge would award the girls on their inspiring trip to Antarctica the full 10pts!!! BUT there was a final plot twist and fight back as the same person also awarded Violet the deciding special award for great visuals, so basically it was KyoAni´s brilliant animation skills that saved VIOLET EVERGARDEN the most prestigious trophy for Anime of the Year 2018, winning a fantastic battle 42:40 against Yorimoi who takes the Silver as consolation! What a climax!
There was a large gap between 2nd and 3rd, and also a close fight for the lowest spot on the podium. Hinamatsuri was basically in 3rd place all the way through but lost support late and could only watch as Jojo: Golden Wind and Devilman Crybaby edged closer and closer. Both their comeback tries failed though as they stopped at 21pts, and Hinamatsuri breathed a sigh of relieve as their 23pts would hold up for BRONZE. This makes Hinamatsuri the only anime winning medals in two categories after Anzu´s victory!
GOLD: VIOLET EVERGARDEN
SILVER: A PLACE FURTHER THAN THE UNIVERSE
BRONZE: HINAMATSURI
so that´s it for the 2019 Yggdrasil Anime Awards! Thank you all very much for helping us create much more satisfying results than stupid crunchyroll ^^
CONGRATULATIONS to all winners and to everybody who helped them to glory :-) I´ve been your host Phil, good bye and i hope to see you all again next year!

Surveys 110-120
Anime Relations: Hetalia Axis Powers
Phil´s Surveys!
Survey 120: 2017/18 Season Finals: Anime Edition (Winner: Steins;Gate)
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready to receive the results. Who will win the third season and take the crown from two-time reigning champions Monogatari Series 2nd Season? Let´s find out!
Before we get to it, i wanna say that with the end of Season 3 today, weekly surveys are now over for good as i already talked about last week. If a Season 4 on a monthly basis will happen or if it is just entirely over for good depends on if at least 10 people will "sign up" for a monthly season. I feel like i need around 15 answers per survey for this to really make sense and also i seriously ran out of fresh ideas to continue weekly. Thank you all a lot for keeping this alive into its fourth year! It was a lot of fun ^^
With that out of the way, let´s see how the final podeum of the season looks like!
Five shows broke the magical 100pts plain so with Legends of the Galactic Heroes (5th place, 102pts) and Kill la Kill (4th place with 112pts) two shows with 100+ still could not earn another medal. Especially Kill la Kill came close with two lost finals. One win out of those would have given it Bronze. It was still a great Season for KlK though with two titles!
At 178pts, FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD earned a well deserved BRONZE medal with a full win and a short win. The MAL ranking leader got a bunch of additional nominations too but could not do enough for more with it.
SILVER went to our Best Post-Apocalypic anime SHINSEKAI YORI! The show got off to an unbelievable start, winning the first two full versions coming in this week. It was in the lead until the very last survey today but was denied a start to finish victory.
Because the Season Champion ended up not being the anime winning the first two full versions but the last two! The one and only STEINS;GATE recovered in impressive fashion from two earlier lost finals, won twice this Sunday and took the GOLD medal as well as the Season Championship! Steins;Gate was the first anime to qualify for the finals after becoming the Best Tokyo Anime waaaay back in August of last year so it started strong and finished strong, the latter maybe thanks to S;G 0 airing right now ^^
Congratulations to the new champion and to everybody helping it to glory! I will contact all of you in time about the potential monthly surveys, but now we are headed into summer break! Here´s the last Roll of Honor of the Season, and good bye everybody!

Survey 119: 2017/18 Season Finals: Character Edition (Winner: Phosphophyllite )
Last week was the first of two weeks for this 3rd Season´s Finals and with both the duel for the overall win and also the fight for bronze decided by only 3pts, it was an absolute nailbiter!
With a total of six characters making it passed the 100pts mark, the battle for the medals was a crowded one and the four people managing to get "only" one full version win ended up battling it out for 3rd.
In the end, it was JEAN OTUS at 124pts who managed to finish three points clear of his closest rival SAN from Mononoke Hime. Both would actually have ended up winning the whole survey too had they gone 2-0 instead of 1-1 in the final! However, it was not meant to be and JEAN takes BRONZE. The ACCA hero was the only character winning two surveys this season, including Male of the Year so i guess he absolutely deserved a place on the final podium. What a brilliant season he had.
As mentioned in the intro already, the fight for the overall title was equally close and decided by 3pts. The Top 2 finished on 194 and 191 respectively. They each won and lost a full version final and won a short version so it came down to the one additional nomination which separated them.
In the end, SILVER went to One Punch Man´s Demon Cyborg GENOS. Our Best Artificial Character came so so close to become the 2nd OPM character to win the finals after Saitama was our Season 1 champion, but it was not quite meant to be and he has to settle for runner-up!
And so, after we had a male champ (Saitama) in 2016 and a female champ (Shinobu Oshino) in 2017, this year have what technically is an ambiguous chamo even though "she" qualified by becoming Female of the Year! That´s right, none other than Land of the Lustrous´ star PHOSPHOPHYLLITE is the 2018 Overall Character Survey Champion!
Congratulations and celebrations to Phos and to everyone helping her to glory last week and supporting her all season long :-)
Next week we close out the season and for that matter, weekly surveying for good. We will see what the future holds but i think it is time to say goodbye to this activity. Anyways, it is not over until it´s over and the Anime Finals are still to come! Let´s go all out together one last time!
As always, here is the Roll of Honor from this week and i hope to see you guys again next Sunday or Monday morning depending on where you live ^^

Survey 118: Hope dies last! (Winner: Owarimonogatari 2nd Season)
Last week we gave all our silver and bronze medalists from this year another chance to qualify for the finals, and despite just nine answers (yeah, we´re riding a dead horse at this point -.-) four characters managed to break the 100pts plain!
With a win from four nominations and a total of 107pts, EIKICHI ONIZUKA beat Yuki Nagato by 4pts for 3rd place and the BRONZE medal! The GTO title hero missed the title of "Best Smoker" by just 6pts so he came close to qualify. He didn´t quite make it but with two medals he actually had a satsfying season.
SILVER went to the 2016 Character of the Year SAITAMA! The main protagonist from One Punch Man finished the Domenca Award Survey in 2nd place and got another 2nd place here in this survey. At 120pts, he had a shot at winning. Had he won his 2nd final as well, he would have won the survey but this was obviously not the case!
Therefore the only candidate who actually did manage to win both of its finals won the survey. It has been a long time since the mighty Monogatari Series won but it was finally time to shine for the most successful franchise in survey history! At 193pts, OWARIMONOGATARI 2nd SEASON takes the last free berth in this year´s season finals! The runner-up of our Anime of the Year 2017 survey also takes the GOLD medal and title of "Most Persistent Anime!".
Congratulations to Owari 2nd and to everyne helping it t glory last week. This new week i hope for a miracle and higher participation for our penultimate survey which will be the 2017/18 season finals: Character Edition. Defending Overall Champion Shinobu Oshino hasn´t qualified, so who will be her successor? Let´s find out! ^^
Hope to see you guys again soon as i will be posting the new survey shortly. In the meantime, you can check the Roll of Honor and statistics from the past week as always :-) So long!

Surveys 116 & 117: World Survey Championship Final (Winner: Japan)
Over the past half year the nations of the world have fought it out to decide who will become World Champs and the finals took place in the past two weeks!
In the fight for the BRONZE medal, we had a tough battle between powerhouses USA and Great Britain. In the end, the UNITED STATES knocked off team GB in a close fight by 57 points, which is a margiin a single survey could overturn. We congratulate the Americans on their 3rd place finish! Great Britain got the Nr. 1 seed in the qualifyers and looked unstoppable in the Quarterfinals, but now they have to leave the World Cup without a medal.
In the big final, we had the anime host nation Japan taking on the surprise finalists from Germany, and while the germans overperformed in this competition as they always do in sports, they finally ran out of gas in the final and JAPAN, who had been struggling hard to get to the final in two close matches, absolutely destroyed them by 443 points, reaching almost 1000pts over the course of the past two weeks.
Both finals MVP titles went to the US as Black Lagoon was the only anime with more than 100pts in either one of the finals, and HARRY MacDOWEL from Gungrave won the most character points with 190, winning twice and reaching another final!
Black Lagoon has qualified for the Season Finals before, but for Harry it is a maiden victory so he goes to the finals!
And that wraps up the World Survey Championships. Japan, Germany and the USA are your medalists after five months of fierce competition! Thanks a lot for sticking around and i hope you guys enjoyed this little experiment.
This new week we will take a little break as i have some stress and also i have to collect all the winners and medalists from the whole season again to see who will be allowed to enter the Hope dies Last survey as well as the Season Finals. I collected results throughout the season BUT since my Laptop kicked the bucket, everything was gone once i had it repaired so i have to do it again -.-
So i hope to see you next Monday for the last survey before the finals, called Hope dies last. Everybody winning a (non-tied) silver or bronze medal this season will get another chance to enter the big finals so look forward to that. After that we only have the finals left to do!
I leave you with the Roll of Honor and full results of the past two weeks so don´t get confused by the mix of characters and anime on the Roll of Honor ^^
So long!

Survey 115: Anime of the Year 2017 (Winner: ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka)
I´m on shift and as promised i will take this chance to present to you the results of our fourth and final Yggdrasil Anime Award survey. The winner will become nothing else but Anime of the Year so the stakes are high! ^^
Aaaand it starts off with a major surprise as we continue to (dis?)respectfully disagree with crunchyroll. Made in Abyss at 125pts has to settle for 4th place and therefore misses the podium! MiA did have a chance to win it all actually as the would have won at 205pts had they won their lost final but that obviously did not happen. What a shocker as for the first time in ages two wins were necessary to claim a place in the Top 3!
and so 3rd place and a BRONZE medal goes to the 3rd season of SHOKUGEKI NO SOUMA! The food wars continued and Souma and his harem cooked themselves all the way to the lowest step on the podium! The show won two short versions, lost a full version final and got another nomination, earning a total of 161pts!
Only nominated twice but still nine points better at 170pts finished OWARIMONOGATARI 2nd Season! The anime that concludes Koyomis main story was Monogataris best effort at a victory in ages as the show won both the full version and the short version it was nominated for. It was still not quite enough because...
...there was another show managing to win their only two nominations, and since those were both full versions, it finished at 200pts and therefore in 1st place! The GOLD medal, the Yggie and the title of Anime of the Year 2017 goes tooooo ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka!!! This means that ACCA celebrates like nobody else at our Yggies as the shows main star Jean Otus also became Male of the Year! What a success for ACCA.
Congratulations to Studio Madhouse for producing the best anime of last year and also congrats to those of you helping it on their way to glory.
There was also a lucky but clean winner for the 2012 side survey as FATE/ZERO 2nd SEASON, one of the four full version winners, got themselves one singe additional point with the very last survey posted, being a standalone first place at 101pts. Sometimes you gotta take your chances and Fate/Zero 2nd Season successfully sneaked into the season finals ^^
And that´s it for now. I won´t be able to create the new survey tonight as i still also have some actual work to do lol but i will do my best to do it tomorrow night instead. I plan to keep it open for a week or util all the usual suspects have completed it. Nevertheless as new survey will be posted on Monday on our regular day as well no matter when i close the next one! (unless my computer which is currently in repair is so broke that not even some pros can fix the thing) -.-
So as always i leave you with the Roll of Honor from last week. That´s it for the 2018 Yggdrasil Anime Awards. I hope you are happy with our champions and that you enjoyed to be part of the show! So long :-)

Survey 114: Female Character of the Year 2017 (Winner: Phosphophyllite)
A huge prize was on the line this week as we were playing Best Girl to crown the Female Character of the past year in Week 3 of the Yggdrasil Anime Awards! Who would grab the Yggie? Let´s have a look at the results!
Once again there were hardly any characters the survants could agree on and so we ended up with a rather long list of characters who won points. As always the winners would need to win a Full Version and get at least one more nomination to break the 100pt barrier. This achievement was only accomplished by two characters!
This also means we ended up with a whole bunch of lovely ladies sharing the BRONZE medal. These are Megumi Katou (Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Flat), Mauve (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka), Cagliostro (Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ),
Umaru Doma (Himouto! Umaru-chan R), Misaki Takasaki (Koi To Uso) and Chise Hatori (Mahoutsukai no Yome). Only Katou won medals in the past so we welcome a bunch of girls to the medals history ^^
A full win and an additional nomination, putting her at 102pts went to KINO, the title hero from Kino no Tabi´s 2017 version. It appears her renewed, more likeable and cuter personality won her 2nd place and the SILVER medal! Also she will get another reward per decision of the jury (which is me :p) but we´ll get to that shortly.
First of all, let´s all stand up, applaud loudly and congratulate our winner! As the only character with two survey wins, the clear winner with 172pts is PHOSPHOPHYLLITE! Land of the Lustrous picks up their first ever medal and of course Phos gets the GOLD medal and title of Female Character of the Year 2017!
To avoid too much controversy as Phos is portrayed as female but actually very much gender-neutral, the jury has decided to let her have the title. However, Kino will also qualify for the Season Finals, getting a Wildcard as the best ranked "real" girl. I hope this is okay with everybody. If you don´t like it, just boycott her once the finals come around lol
The 2012 side survey also produced a clear winner as Shinsekai yori´s main heroine SAKI WATANABE ended up with two wins and 144pts in sole first place so she also qualifies for the finals!
And that´s the conclusion of this controversial edition of the Yggies. There is only one week to go and obviously the only thing left to do is find an owner for the biggest Yggie of them all: next week it is going to be Anime of the Year! So i hope to see you all again soon and have a lovely start into the new week everyone! ^^

Survey 113: Disappointment of the Year 2017 (Winner: Kakegurui)
Hello there fellow survants and welcome to the Razzies 2017! Another week has gone by in no time and the Golden Raspberry awaits the winner of our Disappointment of the Year 2017!
So who will end up as the successor of Battery? Let´s find out! ^^
The nature of the survey has it that it is highly unlikely for many anime to break the 100pts barrier but this not quite so incredible performance was pulled of by a single anime. The only show managing to win a full version while getting nominated a second time was KAKEGURUI!
So it turns out that Studio MAPPA, best known for giving us shows like Yuri on Ice or Zankyou no Terror, did not have too great of a year and has to take the Razzie home. Congratulations on the the only GOLD medal of the season nobody wants to win. Regardless, as consolation you do get a spot in the Season Finals! ^^
Joint SILVER medals went to Full version winners Sakurada Reset, Yami Shibai 4,
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. , Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen and Vatican Kiseki Chousakan. Well...at least Monogatari did finally win a medal this season lol
In the 2012 version, no clean win was scored as nobody broke the 100 pint barrier which in a side survey means no place in the finals will be awarded.
I hope to see you all again next week when we finally get to play everyone´s favorite sport BEST GIRL! Female Character of the Year is up next so please look forward to it ^^ For now i as always leave you with the Roll of Honor from the past week. So long!

Survey 112: Male Character of the Year 2017 (Winner: Jean Otus)
Week 1 of the Yggdrasil Anime Awards has ended and as in the previous two years of the survey award weeks, we started things off with trying to find the Male of the Year 2017! Obviously we are not as mainstream as the CR Awards so luckily we ended up with a very different result :p
2017 was not the year of outstanding male characters and it reflect in our results as well. Only a single character managed to get to more than 100pts, leading to every full version winner to pick up a cheap SILVER medal!
So the runner-up step on the podium is rather cosy and shared by Koutarou Azumi (Tsuki ga Kirei), Yuno (Black Clover), Sorey (Tales of Zestiria the X 2nd Season), Mahmut Tugrul (Shoukoku no Altair) and Natsume Takashi (Natsume Yuujinchou Roku). So we see some old and new faces alike which is nice.
What is even nicer is the fact our champion is from a new anime and not from a sequel which kind of always feels better in my opinion. In the Winter 2017 season, early in the year on January 10th was the start date for ACCA and the Madhouse product produced a main character who was never overtaken in brilliancy by anyone else as the year went on! His name is JEAN OTUS! Not only did he win some extra points apart from his full version, but he actually won a short survey as well and ended up with a total of 172pts! So congratulations to him! The "Cigarette Peddler" takes the Yggie Award, the GOLD medal and the title of "Male Character of the Year!". It is his 2nd win of the season as he also became "Best Smoker" not too long ago.
Deep into the season we still do not have a single medal for the all time front runners Monogatari, but finally one of their characters at least won a spot in the season finals as Koyomi Araragi won the side survey for Male of the Year 2012.
Before we continue with the Yggies, first we continue with the only survey nobody wants to win and hand out the 2017 Golden Raspberry for Disappointment of the Year! I leave you with the Roll of Honor from last week and i hope to see you guys very soon :-)

Survey 120: 2017/18 Season Finals: Anime Edition (Winner: Steins;Gate)
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready to receive the results. Who will win the third season and take the crown from two-time reigning champions Monogatari Series 2nd Season? Let´s find out!
Before we get to it, i wanna say that with the end of Season 3 today, weekly surveys are now over for good as i already talked about last week. If a Season 4 on a monthly basis will happen or if it is just entirely over for good depends on if at least 10 people will "sign up" for a monthly season. I feel like i need around 15 answers per survey for this to really make sense and also i seriously ran out of fresh ideas to continue weekly. Thank you all a lot for keeping this alive into its fourth year! It was a lot of fun ^^
With that out of the way, let´s see how the final podeum of the season looks like!
Five shows broke the magical 100pts plain so with Legends of the Galactic Heroes (5th place, 102pts) and Kill la Kill (4th place with 112pts) two shows with 100+ still could not earn another medal. Especially Kill la Kill came close with two lost finals. One win out of those would have given it Bronze. It was still a great Season for KlK though with two titles!
At 178pts, FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD earned a well deserved BRONZE medal with a full win and a short win. The MAL ranking leader got a bunch of additional nominations too but could not do enough for more with it.
SILVER went to our Best Post-Apocalypic anime SHINSEKAI YORI! The show got off to an unbelievable start, winning the first two full versions coming in this week. It was in the lead until the very last survey today but was denied a start to finish victory.
Because the Season Champion ended up not being the anime winning the first two full versions but the last two! The one and only STEINS;GATE recovered in impressive fashion from two earlier lost finals, won twice this Sunday and took the GOLD medal as well as the Season Championship! Steins;Gate was the first anime to qualify for the finals after becoming the Best Tokyo Anime waaaay back in August of last year so it started strong and finished strong, the latter maybe thanks to S;G 0 airing right now ^^
Congratulations to the new champion and to everybody helping it to glory! I will contact all of you in time about the potential monthly surveys, but now we are headed into summer break! Here´s the last Roll of Honor of the Season, and good bye everybody!

Survey 119: 2017/18 Season Finals: Character Edition (Winner: Phosphophyllite )
Last week was the first of two weeks for this 3rd Season´s Finals and with both the duel for the overall win and also the fight for bronze decided by only 3pts, it was an absolute nailbiter!
With a total of six characters making it passed the 100pts mark, the battle for the medals was a crowded one and the four people managing to get "only" one full version win ended up battling it out for 3rd.
In the end, it was JEAN OTUS at 124pts who managed to finish three points clear of his closest rival SAN from Mononoke Hime. Both would actually have ended up winning the whole survey too had they gone 2-0 instead of 1-1 in the final! However, it was not meant to be and JEAN takes BRONZE. The ACCA hero was the only character winning two surveys this season, including Male of the Year so i guess he absolutely deserved a place on the final podium. What a brilliant season he had.
As mentioned in the intro already, the fight for the overall title was equally close and decided by 3pts. The Top 2 finished on 194 and 191 respectively. They each won and lost a full version final and won a short version so it came down to the one additional nomination which separated them.
In the end, SILVER went to One Punch Man´s Demon Cyborg GENOS. Our Best Artificial Character came so so close to become the 2nd OPM character to win the finals after Saitama was our Season 1 champion, but it was not quite meant to be and he has to settle for runner-up!
And so, after we had a male champ (Saitama) in 2016 and a female champ (Shinobu Oshino) in 2017, this year have what technically is an ambiguous chamo even though "she" qualified by becoming Female of the Year! That´s right, none other than Land of the Lustrous´ star PHOSPHOPHYLLITE is the 2018 Overall Character Survey Champion!
Congratulations and celebrations to Phos and to everyone helping her to glory last week and supporting her all season long :-)
Next week we close out the season and for that matter, weekly surveying for good. We will see what the future holds but i think it is time to say goodbye to this activity. Anyways, it is not over until it´s over and the Anime Finals are still to come! Let´s go all out together one last time!
As always, here is the Roll of Honor from this week and i hope to see you guys again next Sunday or Monday morning depending on where you live ^^

Survey 118: Hope dies last! (Winner: Owarimonogatari 2nd Season)
Last week we gave all our silver and bronze medalists from this year another chance to qualify for the finals, and despite just nine answers (yeah, we´re riding a dead horse at this point -.-) four characters managed to break the 100pts plain!
With a win from four nominations and a total of 107pts, EIKICHI ONIZUKA beat Yuki Nagato by 4pts for 3rd place and the BRONZE medal! The GTO title hero missed the title of "Best Smoker" by just 6pts so he came close to qualify. He didn´t quite make it but with two medals he actually had a satsfying season.
SILVER went to the 2016 Character of the Year SAITAMA! The main protagonist from One Punch Man finished the Domenca Award Survey in 2nd place and got another 2nd place here in this survey. At 120pts, he had a shot at winning. Had he won his 2nd final as well, he would have won the survey but this was obviously not the case!
Therefore the only candidate who actually did manage to win both of its finals won the survey. It has been a long time since the mighty Monogatari Series won but it was finally time to shine for the most successful franchise in survey history! At 193pts, OWARIMONOGATARI 2nd SEASON takes the last free berth in this year´s season finals! The runner-up of our Anime of the Year 2017 survey also takes the GOLD medal and title of "Most Persistent Anime!".
Congratulations to Owari 2nd and to everyne helping it t glory last week. This new week i hope for a miracle and higher participation for our penultimate survey which will be the 2017/18 season finals: Character Edition. Defending Overall Champion Shinobu Oshino hasn´t qualified, so who will be her successor? Let´s find out! ^^
Hope to see you guys again soon as i will be posting the new survey shortly. In the meantime, you can check the Roll of Honor and statistics from the past week as always :-) So long!

Surveys 116 & 117: World Survey Championship Final (Winner: Japan)
Over the past half year the nations of the world have fought it out to decide who will become World Champs and the finals took place in the past two weeks!
In the fight for the BRONZE medal, we had a tough battle between powerhouses USA and Great Britain. In the end, the UNITED STATES knocked off team GB in a close fight by 57 points, which is a margiin a single survey could overturn. We congratulate the Americans on their 3rd place finish! Great Britain got the Nr. 1 seed in the qualifyers and looked unstoppable in the Quarterfinals, but now they have to leave the World Cup without a medal.
In the big final, we had the anime host nation Japan taking on the surprise finalists from Germany, and while the germans overperformed in this competition as they always do in sports, they finally ran out of gas in the final and JAPAN, who had been struggling hard to get to the final in two close matches, absolutely destroyed them by 443 points, reaching almost 1000pts over the course of the past two weeks.
Both finals MVP titles went to the US as Black Lagoon was the only anime with more than 100pts in either one of the finals, and HARRY MacDOWEL from Gungrave won the most character points with 190, winning twice and reaching another final!
Black Lagoon has qualified for the Season Finals before, but for Harry it is a maiden victory so he goes to the finals!
And that wraps up the World Survey Championships. Japan, Germany and the USA are your medalists after five months of fierce competition! Thanks a lot for sticking around and i hope you guys enjoyed this little experiment.
This new week we will take a little break as i have some stress and also i have to collect all the winners and medalists from the whole season again to see who will be allowed to enter the Hope dies Last survey as well as the Season Finals. I collected results throughout the season BUT since my Laptop kicked the bucket, everything was gone once i had it repaired so i have to do it again -.-
So i hope to see you next Monday for the last survey before the finals, called Hope dies last. Everybody winning a (non-tied) silver or bronze medal this season will get another chance to enter the big finals so look forward to that. After that we only have the finals left to do!
I leave you with the Roll of Honor and full results of the past two weeks so don´t get confused by the mix of characters and anime on the Roll of Honor ^^
So long!

Survey 115: Anime of the Year 2017 (Winner: ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka)
I´m on shift and as promised i will take this chance to present to you the results of our fourth and final Yggdrasil Anime Award survey. The winner will become nothing else but Anime of the Year so the stakes are high! ^^
Aaaand it starts off with a major surprise as we continue to (dis?)respectfully disagree with crunchyroll. Made in Abyss at 125pts has to settle for 4th place and therefore misses the podium! MiA did have a chance to win it all actually as the would have won at 205pts had they won their lost final but that obviously did not happen. What a shocker as for the first time in ages two wins were necessary to claim a place in the Top 3!
and so 3rd place and a BRONZE medal goes to the 3rd season of SHOKUGEKI NO SOUMA! The food wars continued and Souma and his harem cooked themselves all the way to the lowest step on the podium! The show won two short versions, lost a full version final and got another nomination, earning a total of 161pts!
Only nominated twice but still nine points better at 170pts finished OWARIMONOGATARI 2nd Season! The anime that concludes Koyomis main story was Monogataris best effort at a victory in ages as the show won both the full version and the short version it was nominated for. It was still not quite enough because...
...there was another show managing to win their only two nominations, and since those were both full versions, it finished at 200pts and therefore in 1st place! The GOLD medal, the Yggie and the title of Anime of the Year 2017 goes tooooo ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka!!! This means that ACCA celebrates like nobody else at our Yggies as the shows main star Jean Otus also became Male of the Year! What a success for ACCA.
Congratulations to Studio Madhouse for producing the best anime of last year and also congrats to those of you helping it on their way to glory.
There was also a lucky but clean winner for the 2012 side survey as FATE/ZERO 2nd SEASON, one of the four full version winners, got themselves one singe additional point with the very last survey posted, being a standalone first place at 101pts. Sometimes you gotta take your chances and Fate/Zero 2nd Season successfully sneaked into the season finals ^^
And that´s it for now. I won´t be able to create the new survey tonight as i still also have some actual work to do lol but i will do my best to do it tomorrow night instead. I plan to keep it open for a week or util all the usual suspects have completed it. Nevertheless as new survey will be posted on Monday on our regular day as well no matter when i close the next one! (unless my computer which is currently in repair is so broke that not even some pros can fix the thing) -.-
So as always i leave you with the Roll of Honor from last week. That´s it for the 2018 Yggdrasil Anime Awards. I hope you are happy with our champions and that you enjoyed to be part of the show! So long :-)

Survey 114: Female Character of the Year 2017 (Winner: Phosphophyllite)
A huge prize was on the line this week as we were playing Best Girl to crown the Female Character of the past year in Week 3 of the Yggdrasil Anime Awards! Who would grab the Yggie? Let´s have a look at the results!
Once again there were hardly any characters the survants could agree on and so we ended up with a rather long list of characters who won points. As always the winners would need to win a Full Version and get at least one more nomination to break the 100pt barrier. This achievement was only accomplished by two characters!
This also means we ended up with a whole bunch of lovely ladies sharing the BRONZE medal. These are Megumi Katou (Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Flat), Mauve (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka), Cagliostro (Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ),
Umaru Doma (Himouto! Umaru-chan R), Misaki Takasaki (Koi To Uso) and Chise Hatori (Mahoutsukai no Yome). Only Katou won medals in the past so we welcome a bunch of girls to the medals history ^^
A full win and an additional nomination, putting her at 102pts went to KINO, the title hero from Kino no Tabi´s 2017 version. It appears her renewed, more likeable and cuter personality won her 2nd place and the SILVER medal! Also she will get another reward per decision of the jury (which is me :p) but we´ll get to that shortly.
First of all, let´s all stand up, applaud loudly and congratulate our winner! As the only character with two survey wins, the clear winner with 172pts is PHOSPHOPHYLLITE! Land of the Lustrous picks up their first ever medal and of course Phos gets the GOLD medal and title of Female Character of the Year 2017!
To avoid too much controversy as Phos is portrayed as female but actually very much gender-neutral, the jury has decided to let her have the title. However, Kino will also qualify for the Season Finals, getting a Wildcard as the best ranked "real" girl. I hope this is okay with everybody. If you don´t like it, just boycott her once the finals come around lol
The 2012 side survey also produced a clear winner as Shinsekai yori´s main heroine SAKI WATANABE ended up with two wins and 144pts in sole first place so she also qualifies for the finals!
And that´s the conclusion of this controversial edition of the Yggies. There is only one week to go and obviously the only thing left to do is find an owner for the biggest Yggie of them all: next week it is going to be Anime of the Year! So i hope to see you all again soon and have a lovely start into the new week everyone! ^^

Survey 113: Disappointment of the Year 2017 (Winner: Kakegurui)
Hello there fellow survants and welcome to the Razzies 2017! Another week has gone by in no time and the Golden Raspberry awaits the winner of our Disappointment of the Year 2017!
So who will end up as the successor of Battery? Let´s find out! ^^
The nature of the survey has it that it is highly unlikely for many anime to break the 100pts barrier but this not quite so incredible performance was pulled of by a single anime. The only show managing to win a full version while getting nominated a second time was KAKEGURUI!
So it turns out that Studio MAPPA, best known for giving us shows like Yuri on Ice or Zankyou no Terror, did not have too great of a year and has to take the Razzie home. Congratulations on the the only GOLD medal of the season nobody wants to win. Regardless, as consolation you do get a spot in the Season Finals! ^^
Joint SILVER medals went to Full version winners Sakurada Reset, Yami Shibai 4,
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. , Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen and Vatican Kiseki Chousakan. Well...at least Monogatari did finally win a medal this season lol
In the 2012 version, no clean win was scored as nobody broke the 100 pint barrier which in a side survey means no place in the finals will be awarded.
I hope to see you all again next week when we finally get to play everyone´s favorite sport BEST GIRL! Female Character of the Year is up next so please look forward to it ^^ For now i as always leave you with the Roll of Honor from the past week. So long!

Survey 112: Male Character of the Year 2017 (Winner: Jean Otus)
Week 1 of the Yggdrasil Anime Awards has ended and as in the previous two years of the survey award weeks, we started things off with trying to find the Male of the Year 2017! Obviously we are not as mainstream as the CR Awards so luckily we ended up with a very different result :p
2017 was not the year of outstanding male characters and it reflect in our results as well. Only a single character managed to get to more than 100pts, leading to every full version winner to pick up a cheap SILVER medal!
So the runner-up step on the podium is rather cosy and shared by Koutarou Azumi (Tsuki ga Kirei), Yuno (Black Clover), Sorey (Tales of Zestiria the X 2nd Season), Mahmut Tugrul (Shoukoku no Altair) and Natsume Takashi (Natsume Yuujinchou Roku). So we see some old and new faces alike which is nice.
What is even nicer is the fact our champion is from a new anime and not from a sequel which kind of always feels better in my opinion. In the Winter 2017 season, early in the year on January 10th was the start date for ACCA and the Madhouse product produced a main character who was never overtaken in brilliancy by anyone else as the year went on! His name is JEAN OTUS! Not only did he win some extra points apart from his full version, but he actually won a short survey as well and ended up with a total of 172pts! So congratulations to him! The "Cigarette Peddler" takes the Yggie Award, the GOLD medal and the title of "Male Character of the Year!". It is his 2nd win of the season as he also became "Best Smoker" not too long ago.
Deep into the season we still do not have a single medal for the all time front runners Monogatari, but finally one of their characters at least won a spot in the season finals as Koyomi Araragi won the side survey for Male of the Year 2012.
Before we continue with the Yggies, first we continue with the only survey nobody wants to win and hand out the 2017 Golden Raspberry for Disappointment of the Year! I leave you with the Roll of Honor from last week and i hope to see you guys very soon :-)

Survey 108: Best Artificial Character (Winner: Genos)
This week we were looking for the Best Artificial Character. Even though they hardly understand feelings, we still shows all the cyborgs and robots out there some love and two characters completely stole the show.
This also means that 3rd place was relatively cheap and went to the full version winner with the most nominations. 7 extra points were enough for DECIM to win BRONZE! It was the first individual medal for Death Parade´s brilliant arbiter.
YUKI NAGATO produced the best non-winning performance of the survey season so far as her 273pts were still not enough for the title. The winner of the "Survival Challenge" won three surveys and was nominated five times but still has to settle for SILVER!
This means the winner had an absolutely glorious week. A full version win, three short version wins, two additional appearances in the final and a total of nine nominations are just an unstoppable performance! GENOS is the winner of our 108th survey! He wins One Punch Man´s 3rd total GOLD medal (as Saitama was previously a two-time winner) and takes the title of "Best Artificial Character in Anime!"
Congrats to him and to the many people helping him on his way this week. Next week, it is time to take off and leave planet earth as we will go on a quest to find the Best Space Anime so i hope to see you all tomorrow ^^

Survey 107: WSC Semifinal 1: Great Britain v Japan (Winner: Japan)
This week we had an extremely close match between the Nr. 1 seed Great Britain and the host nation of anime, Japan. It does not get any better than this and the match definitely did not disappoint. The lead switched back and forth early in but in the end, it was JAPAN who managed to overcome their handicaps with a brilliant comeback as they won the two last surveys coming in!
In the end, the score was 655:637! By far the closest game we had in this competition so far! What a fantastic win for the japanese team which moves on to the final and awaits the winner of USA v Germany which will take place in three weeks.
While Great Britain scored the heavier wins, Japan was able to win more total matches (6:4) and in the end, it was enough to defeat what maybe was the tournament favorite by 18pts. Previously, Team GB won the qualifier and absolutely destroyed China in Round 1 while Japan was facing tough resistance from France. However, it is the homeland of anime which moves on to the final! Congratulations to them and to everyone helping them to victory!
Given that more or less every anime ever produced is a potential nominee for Japan, it is quite surprising that the MVP of the match is also a Japan representative. MONONOKE stunned the mighty Fate series with an extremely opportunistic performance, scoring two full wins from their only two nominations and winning the Anime of the Match title with 200pts! Fate/Zero was the most nominated show of the survey but came 24pts short regardless.
So it is Mononoke who becomes the surprising key player in Japans victory and therefore this anime wins their first ever survey and qualifies for the season finals in May!
So that concludes our live coverage from the WSC for this week. We will be back with USA v Germany in three weeks. Before that, we return to normal surveying. Next week it is time to honor the characters who have been built rather than born as we will crown the "Best Artificial Character!" So long everybody!

Survey 105: Best Underappreciated Anime (Winner: Myself;Yourself)
This week the surveys were all about putting some not so common shows in the spotlight once again. A year after crowning the most underrated anime, we this time tried to find the "Most Underappreciated Anime!" and it led to quite an unusual Roll of Honor we will most certainly not see again in this form.
As the 18 answers provided us with 18 different winners as well and a lot of different shows were nominated, it was all about the small bonus points to decide who would take away a relatively cheap title! It was a rare chance to shine for many many shows, but who did take advantage of the situation? Let´s find out! But before that, we have to give our condolences to Little Witch Academia which missed the podeum by a single point :(
Three anime this week would end up sharing the SILVER medal as it was exactly three anime managing a full version win and an additional trip to Step 3! For every single one of them, it was their very first survey medal ever so congratulations to getting joint 2nd place at 103pts to ACCA, TARI TARI and TENSHI NO TAMAGO!
Our champion this week also got a win but was also the only show of them all to make it to the final twice although it has to be said even it it had went out in Step 3, it would have one by a point. Anyways, scoring 121pts in total and getting one of the most unlikely GOLD medals ever is MYSELF; YOURSELF! It takes the title of "Most Underappreciated Anime!". Who would have thought Doga Kobo would get its first ever survey win not for Nozaki-kun or Umaru but much rather for this far overlooked 2007 show? ;)
So congratulations to the winner and those helping it to glory, especially to Felix who actually put the show in the Roll of Honor for the first time. What an incredible upset!
Things are getting a bit unhealthy next week as we are searching for the "Best Smoker" in Anime! So do something good for yourself and give your cigarettes to the characters of your choice! ;)
As always, this victory ceremony ends with the presentation of the Roll of Honor! See you guys very soon! :-)

Survey 104: The Domenca Award (Winner: Satsuki Kiryuuin)
This week we did a special survey in honor of Domenca, a regular participant who in December posted the 2000th total participation in survey history. As a reward, we will did a survey to find the most popular of his favorite characters!
Despite the very limited amount of valid nominations, still only once character managed to get to more than one win would you believe, so 2nd and 3rd place were surprisingly cheap.
A win and a lost final as well as 5 extra points were enough for SAKAMOTO from Sakamoto desu ga? to get a BRONZE medal under his belt! Given his popularity, this might still be a little bit of a disappointment.
Also, our SILVER medalist this week probably underachieved a bit by failing a lot in the final. He actually got to 4 finals, but lost three of them...all to the winner of the survey! This character is no other than One Punch Mans SAITAMA, the three time survey winner and 2015/16 Survey Season Champion!
However, he was absolutely owned in the final step of the survey this time by our dominant winner of the Domenca Award: with four total wins and 364pts, Kill la Kill´s SATSUKI KIRYUUIN wins her first individual title and hands Kill la Kill their 6th GOLD medal which lifts the show into 2nd place all time. Of course, she also qualifies for the Season finals :-)
So congratulations to her and to everyone helping her to glory this week. Tomorrow we will continue by once again putting some less appreciated anime in the spotlight. In fact, we will be crowning the Best Underappreciated Anime on MAL!
So that´s that and i hope to see you all again soon. I´ll leave you with the Roll of Honor and statistics from this past week ^^

___________________________________________________________
So the United States move on and complete the Final 4! The semifinals of the World Survey Championships therefore are:
Great Britain v Japan (Anime Survey)
USA v Germany (Character Survey)
In addition, Baccano! was the dominant force in this survey, scoring wins for both countries and easily winning the MVP at 293pts. As a result, this anime wins their 2nd GOLD medal and qualifies for the Season Finals!
Survey 102: Best Turncoat (Winner: Kirei Kotomine)
In the past week we were searching for the best character who likes to switch sides during their anime. Due to the nature of the topic, this could of course not be done without spoilers so if you do not want to get spoilered i advise you to not read any further. Although i won´t say who turns from good to evil, vice versa or who switches side in any other way so the only thing you will know if you read on is the name of a character who will in one way or another go through a drastic change of opinion. It is up to you to decide if you mind or not ;)
Now let´s get to the results! It is common for surveys to be decided by won and lost finals, but rarely has it been as obvious as this time:
BRONZE went to Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi from Cross Ange! She won a Full Survey and lost another and had she won her 2nd final as well, she would have won the whole thing despite being only nominated twice. Still it was a nice success for her as it was her first survey medal and actually also the first ever medal for her anime!
Kill la Kill has a habit of winnig twice in a row as back to back survey wins for the show happened twice before and since Kill la Kill won Best Fan Service recently, SATSUKI KIRYUUIN was kind of a favorite to win just because of the streak. She did in fact very well, reaching three finals, but she could only manage to win one of them and two would have been required to get the title. So she has to settle for SILVER!
And so, the survey win went to the only character who was able to win twice: KIREI KOTOMINE takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Turncoat in Anime!" with a total of 173pts, resulting from a full win, a short win and another nomination! Congratulations to the Fate/Zero character who gave the Fate series its 2nd ever gold!
Shortly we will continue with the last survey of the year and therefore i willleave the survey open until December 31st! It is gonna be the last Quarterfinal of the World Survey Championships in which the United States face Italy for the final remaining birth in the Semifinals! So stay tuned ^^
As always, i will finish this prize presentation off with the Roll of Honor :)
See you guys later!

Survey 101: Best Fan Service (Winner: Kill la Kill)
This past week, we let our feral and brutish insticts take over in a quest to find the best Fan Service Anime! It was about time wasn´t it (especially since we are an all-guys club by now lol) ;)
However, quality besides fan service was also a factor in the survey which lead to some of the most nominated shows going nowhere, especially everyone´s favorite sport Keijo!!!!! went nowhere despite having the most total nominees!
However to reach the podeum, more than one win was necessary.
It has gotten quiet this season regarding the Monogatari Series, the hype is definitely gone but nevertheless, the most successful series in survey history had a bit of a renaissance here as BRONZE went to NISEMONOGATARI! Even though it lost points to other seasons, the famous toothbrushing scene still seemed to be present in a few people´s minds and it was good enough for two wins, 173pts and therefore 3rd Place!
SILVER thanks to a very strong start by winning two of the three earliest participations went to SHOKUGEKI NO SOUMA! This anime ranks Top 100 in MAL in the total ranking as well as in the popularity rankings yet it was still the maiden survey medal for Food Wars!
But the winner this week is another very traditionally successful anime in the surveys: as the only show with three victories in this past week (from four nominations), KILL LA KILL becomes the "Best Fan Service Anime" and is now a 5-time GOLD medalist, moving up to 2nd in the all-time standings!
Congratulations to Kill la Kill and to those of you helping it to glory in the past seven days!
The new week has already started (well...here where i am at least) and the new survey is already posted! This week we will search for the Best Turncoat/Renegade Side-Switcher, you get it! So join in on the fun and search for your favorite characters who underwent a drastic change of heart during their anime!
A little preview: after that Survey 103 will be the last one of the year and we will complete the 1st round of the World Survey Championship with the USA taking on Italy for the last remaining place in the Semifinals. We take a break in the last week of the year in which quite a few of you will celebrate the Christmas Holidays and New Year!
As always, i will leave you with the Roll of Honor and all the statistics from this week. So check them out if you are interested, and i see you guys next Sunday! ^^

Survey 100: Hair Color Battle (Winner: Kyon)
We have now completed 100 surveys believe it or not, so let´s now have a look at who won the prestigious jubilee title. This week, we were battling our the Hair Color Battle, a suggestion made by @Vinroy.
To no ones surprise i guess, there was no stopping Team Black, which scored four wins and a total of 456pts. It is the most common hair color in the world after all! The remaining wins were split evenly among other hair colors, including surprising wins for Team Bald and Team Multicolor haha
However, and now we get to the much more surprising part, it was not a black haired character who won and also, it happened in the most unlikely way: Due to the nature of Step 1, there is a record breaking 109 total characters who scored points! Still, only a single one of them was able to break the 100pts barrier!!!
KYON, representin Team Brown from the Haruhi Suzumiya Series was the only Full Version winner with additional nominations and finally triumphed for the first time in Survey history with 106pts! He takes the GOLD medal and title of "Hair Battle Champion!"
It was the fourth survey win for the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise, however it was the first win ever for Kyon as mentioned and also the first win for his series since the very first survey season.
This also means a whole bunch of free SILVER medals for everybody else who won a full version and i think you guys really deserve it as many people here gave pretty nice and entertaining answers this week! ^^
So that does it for this week! Tomorrow we continue with "Best Fan Service Anime" , a topic suggested by @Puchkov that probably many of you think should have come much earlier hehe ;)
As always, i leave you with this weeks´ Roll of Honor. See you all tomorrow hopefully! :)

Survey 108: Best Artificial Character (Winner: Genos)
This week we were looking for the Best Artificial Character. Even though they hardly understand feelings, we still shows all the cyborgs and robots out there some love and two characters completely stole the show.
This also means that 3rd place was relatively cheap and went to the full version winner with the most nominations. 7 extra points were enough for DECIM to win BRONZE! It was the first individual medal for Death Parade´s brilliant arbiter.
YUKI NAGATO produced the best non-winning performance of the survey season so far as her 273pts were still not enough for the title. The winner of the "Survival Challenge" won three surveys and was nominated five times but still has to settle for SILVER!
This means the winner had an absolutely glorious week. A full version win, three short version wins, two additional appearances in the final and a total of nine nominations are just an unstoppable performance! GENOS is the winner of our 108th survey! He wins One Punch Man´s 3rd total GOLD medal (as Saitama was previously a two-time winner) and takes the title of "Best Artificial Character in Anime!"
Congrats to him and to the many people helping him on his way this week. Next week, it is time to take off and leave planet earth as we will go on a quest to find the Best Space Anime so i hope to see you all tomorrow ^^
That´s it from my side once again, and here are is the Roll of Honor of the week :)

Survey 107: WSC Semifinal 1: Great Britain v Japan (Winner: Japan)
This week we had an extremely close match between the Nr. 1 seed Great Britain and the host nation of anime, Japan. It does not get any better than this and the match definitely did not disappoint. The lead switched back and forth early in but in the end, it was JAPAN who managed to overcome their handicaps with a brilliant comeback as they won the two last surveys coming in!
In the end, the score was 655:637! By far the closest game we had in this competition so far! What a fantastic win for the japanese team which moves on to the final and awaits the winner of USA v Germany which will take place in three weeks.
While Great Britain scored the heavier wins, Japan was able to win more total matches (6:4) and in the end, it was enough to defeat what maybe was the tournament favorite by 18pts. Previously, Team GB won the qualifier and absolutely destroyed China in Round 1 while Japan was facing tough resistance from France. However, it is the homeland of anime which moves on to the final! Congratulations to them and to everyone helping them to victory!
Given that more or less every anime ever produced is a potential nominee for Japan, it is quite surprising that the MVP of the match is also a Japan representative. MONONOKE stunned the mighty Fate series with an extremely opportunistic performance, scoring two full wins from their only two nominations and winning the Anime of the Match title with 200pts! Fate/Zero was the most nominated show of the survey but came 24pts short regardless.
So it is Mononoke who becomes the surprising key player in Japans victory and therefore this anime wins their first ever survey and qualifies for the season finals in May!
So that concludes our live coverage from the WSC for this week. We will be back with USA v Germany in three weeks. Before that, we return to normal surveying. Next week it is time to honor the characters who have been built rather than born as we will crown the "Best Artificial Character!" So long everybody!

Survey 105: Best Underappreciated Anime (Winner: Myself;Yourself)
This week the surveys were all about putting some not so common shows in the spotlight once again. A year after crowning the most underrated anime, we this time tried to find the "Most Underappreciated Anime!" and it led to quite an unusual Roll of Honor we will most certainly not see again in this form.
As the 18 answers provided us with 18 different winners as well and a lot of different shows were nominated, it was all about the small bonus points to decide who would take away a relatively cheap title! It was a rare chance to shine for many many shows, but who did take advantage of the situation? Let´s find out! But before that, we have to give our condolences to Little Witch Academia which missed the podeum by a single point :(
Three anime this week would end up sharing the SILVER medal as it was exactly three anime managing a full version win and an additional trip to Step 3! For every single one of them, it was their very first survey medal ever so congratulations to getting joint 2nd place at 103pts to ACCA, TARI TARI and TENSHI NO TAMAGO!
Our champion this week also got a win but was also the only show of them all to make it to the final twice although it has to be said even it it had went out in Step 3, it would have one by a point. Anyways, scoring 121pts in total and getting one of the most unlikely GOLD medals ever is MYSELF; YOURSELF! It takes the title of "Most Underappreciated Anime!". Who would have thought Doga Kobo would get its first ever survey win not for Nozaki-kun or Umaru but much rather for this far overlooked 2007 show? ;)
So congratulations to the winner and those helping it to glory, especially to Felix who actually put the show in the Roll of Honor for the first time. What an incredible upset!
Things are getting a bit unhealthy next week as we are searching for the "Best Smoker" in Anime! So do something good for yourself and give your cigarettes to the characters of your choice! ;)
As always, this victory ceremony ends with the presentation of the Roll of Honor! See you guys very soon! :-)

Survey 104: The Domenca Award (Winner: Satsuki Kiryuuin)
This week we did a special survey in honor of Domenca, a regular participant who in December posted the 2000th total participation in survey history. As a reward, we will did a survey to find the most popular of his favorite characters!
Despite the very limited amount of valid nominations, still only once character managed to get to more than one win would you believe, so 2nd and 3rd place were surprisingly cheap.
A win and a lost final as well as 5 extra points were enough for SAKAMOTO from Sakamoto desu ga? to get a BRONZE medal under his belt! Given his popularity, this might still be a little bit of a disappointment.
Also, our SILVER medalist this week probably underachieved a bit by failing a lot in the final. He actually got to 4 finals, but lost three of them...all to the winner of the survey! This character is no other than One Punch Mans SAITAMA, the three time survey winner and 2015/16 Survey Season Champion!
However, he was absolutely owned in the final step of the survey this time by our dominant winner of the Domenca Award: with four total wins and 364pts, Kill la Kill´s SATSUKI KIRYUUIN wins her first individual title and hands Kill la Kill their 6th GOLD medal which lifts the show into 2nd place all time. Of course, she also qualifies for the Season finals :-)
So congratulations to her and to everyone helping her to glory this week. Tomorrow we will continue by once again putting some less appreciated anime in the spotlight. In fact, we will be crowning the Best Underappreciated Anime on MAL!
So that´s that and i hope to see you all again soon. I´ll leave you with the Roll of Honor and statistics from this past week ^^

___________________________________________________________
So the United States move on and complete the Final 4! The semifinals of the World Survey Championships therefore are:
Great Britain v Japan (Anime Survey)
USA v Germany (Character Survey)
In addition, Baccano! was the dominant force in this survey, scoring wins for both countries and easily winning the MVP at 293pts. As a result, this anime wins their 2nd GOLD medal and qualifies for the Season Finals!
Survey 102: Best Turncoat (Winner: Kirei Kotomine)
In the past week we were searching for the best character who likes to switch sides during their anime. Due to the nature of the topic, this could of course not be done without spoilers so if you do not want to get spoilered i advise you to not read any further. Although i won´t say who turns from good to evil, vice versa or who switches side in any other way so the only thing you will know if you read on is the name of a character who will in one way or another go through a drastic change of opinion. It is up to you to decide if you mind or not ;)
Now let´s get to the results! It is common for surveys to be decided by won and lost finals, but rarely has it been as obvious as this time:
BRONZE went to Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi from Cross Ange! She won a Full Survey and lost another and had she won her 2nd final as well, she would have won the whole thing despite being only nominated twice. Still it was a nice success for her as it was her first survey medal and actually also the first ever medal for her anime!
Kill la Kill has a habit of winnig twice in a row as back to back survey wins for the show happened twice before and since Kill la Kill won Best Fan Service recently, SATSUKI KIRYUUIN was kind of a favorite to win just because of the streak. She did in fact very well, reaching three finals, but she could only manage to win one of them and two would have been required to get the title. So she has to settle for SILVER!
And so, the survey win went to the only character who was able to win twice: KIREI KOTOMINE takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Turncoat in Anime!" with a total of 173pts, resulting from a full win, a short win and another nomination! Congratulations to the Fate/Zero character who gave the Fate series its 2nd ever gold!
Shortly we will continue with the last survey of the year and therefore i willleave the survey open until December 31st! It is gonna be the last Quarterfinal of the World Survey Championships in which the United States face Italy for the final remaining birth in the Semifinals! So stay tuned ^^
As always, i will finish this prize presentation off with the Roll of Honor :)
See you guys later!

Survey 101: Best Fan Service (Winner: Kill la Kill)
This past week, we let our feral and brutish insticts take over in a quest to find the best Fan Service Anime! It was about time wasn´t it (especially since we are an all-guys club by now lol) ;)
However, quality besides fan service was also a factor in the survey which lead to some of the most nominated shows going nowhere, especially everyone´s favorite sport Keijo!!!!! went nowhere despite having the most total nominees!
However to reach the podeum, more than one win was necessary.
It has gotten quiet this season regarding the Monogatari Series, the hype is definitely gone but nevertheless, the most successful series in survey history had a bit of a renaissance here as BRONZE went to NISEMONOGATARI! Even though it lost points to other seasons, the famous toothbrushing scene still seemed to be present in a few people´s minds and it was good enough for two wins, 173pts and therefore 3rd Place!
SILVER thanks to a very strong start by winning two of the three earliest participations went to SHOKUGEKI NO SOUMA! This anime ranks Top 100 in MAL in the total ranking as well as in the popularity rankings yet it was still the maiden survey medal for Food Wars!
But the winner this week is another very traditionally successful anime in the surveys: as the only show with three victories in this past week (from four nominations), KILL LA KILL becomes the "Best Fan Service Anime" and is now a 5-time GOLD medalist, moving up to 2nd in the all-time standings!
Congratulations to Kill la Kill and to those of you helping it to glory in the past seven days!
The new week has already started (well...here where i am at least) and the new survey is already posted! This week we will search for the Best Turncoat/Renegade Side-Switcher, you get it! So join in on the fun and search for your favorite characters who underwent a drastic change of heart during their anime!
A little preview: after that Survey 103 will be the last one of the year and we will complete the 1st round of the World Survey Championship with the USA taking on Italy for the last remaining place in the Semifinals. We take a break in the last week of the year in which quite a few of you will celebrate the Christmas Holidays and New Year!
As always, i will leave you with the Roll of Honor and all the statistics from this week. So check them out if you are interested, and i see you guys next Sunday! ^^

Survey 100: Hair Color Battle (Winner: Kyon)
We have now completed 100 surveys believe it or not, so let´s now have a look at who won the prestigious jubilee title. This week, we were battling our the Hair Color Battle, a suggestion made by @Vinroy.
To no ones surprise i guess, there was no stopping Team Black, which scored four wins and a total of 456pts. It is the most common hair color in the world after all! The remaining wins were split evenly among other hair colors, including surprising wins for Team Bald and Team Multicolor haha
However, and now we get to the much more surprising part, it was not a black haired character who won and also, it happened in the most unlikely way: Due to the nature of Step 1, there is a record breaking 109 total characters who scored points! Still, only a single one of them was able to break the 100pts barrier!!!
KYON, representin Team Brown from the Haruhi Suzumiya Series was the only Full Version winner with additional nominations and finally triumphed for the first time in Survey history with 106pts! He takes the GOLD medal and title of "Hair Battle Champion!"
It was the fourth survey win for the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise, however it was the first win ever for Kyon as mentioned and also the first win for his series since the very first survey season.
This also means a whole bunch of free SILVER medals for everybody else who won a full version and i think you guys really deserve it as many people here gave pretty nice and entertaining answers this week! ^^
So that does it for this week! Tomorrow we continue with "Best Fan Service Anime" , a topic suggested by @Puchkov that probably many of you think should have come much earlier hehe ;)
As always, i leave you with this weeks´ Roll of Honor. See you all tomorrow hopefully! :)

Surveys 90-99
Anime Relations: Cowboy Bebop
Survey 99: Best Philosophical Anime (Winner: Ghost in the Shell)
So after 14 eventful days which changed the surveys forever, it is finally time to get back to business and present the results for "Best Philosophical Anime!"
Five shows got passed the magical 100+pts mark, and in the end it was Death Parade and Haibane Renmei who missed out on a medal and had to settle for 5th and 5th place, and they didn´t come toooo close actually as two wins were necessary to get into the Top 3.
BRONZE this week went to the Winner of our last anime based survey, Shinsekai yori! The "Best Post-Apocalyptic" anime added a 3rd place to the tally with an opportunistic performance after getting nominated in two short versions only, but winning them both and therefore scoring 140pts.
It was a close duel for 1st and 2nd as both remaining shows got and full version and a short version victory. In the end, KINO NO TABI: THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD had to settle for BRONZE with 174pts. It was the very first medal ever for this wonderful show believe it or not!
However our winner is not a newcomer on the survey podeum: GHOST IN THE SHELL outlasted KnT by getting an additional final so they finished at 192pts, only 18 ahead. Therefore, GitS takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Philosophical Anime!" So we will see Motoko Kusanagi and her colleagues again in the season finals!
Congratulations to Ghost in the Shell and to everyone helping it on its way to glory this week ^^
Tomorrow we continue with survey Nr. 100!!! We are less than 24 hours away frm reaching triple digits :) Since i couldn´t come up with something special which satisfied me enough, i will use this anniversary to fulfill a couple of topic wishes instead. This is why we will continue with the Hair Color Battle, an idea by @Vinroy. So i hope to see you all again tomorrow :)
For now though i will leave you as always with the Roll of Honor of the past survey. So long!

Survey 98: WSC Quarterfinal 3: Japan v France (Winner: Japan)
Hey there everybody and welcome to the presentation of the results of the 3rd Quarterfinal of the World Survey Championship! ^^
I hope you all had a nice weekend :)
This week in the WSC, Japan was finally entering the competition and had a tough opponent when they faced France. The french got four survey wins and a total of very respectable 529 points. This is by far the best performance in a losing effort so far and Le Bleu even led until the very last day.
Japan took the lead on the 2nd to last result coming in and ultimately won 711-529, a deficit sounding much bigger than it actually is. So Japan does manage to survive a scare from France and did overcome the handicaps it competes with.
Unfortunately, no character was able to become MVP and qualify for the Survey Season Finals in since in this match, no character managed to get passed the 100pt mark.
Japan will now face Great Britain in the Semifinals. The last Quarterfinal of the WSC will begin on December 11th. The USA face Italy in that match and Germany awaits the winner of that match in the semifinals.
Despite there being no MVP and therefore no medal winners this week, i will of course still leave you with the Roll of Honor of the week ^^
In the coming week, the time for thinkers has come as we are searching for the Best Philosophical Anime! As you are used to from the previous week, this survey has already been posted.

Survey 97: Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime (Winner: Shinsekai yori)
Over the course of the week we were searching for the Best Post-Apocalyptic anime, a very specific topic yet one with many prominent available anime and it was a close one too! So who took home the honors? Let´s have a look!
Four shows reached more than 100pts, and quite surprisingly it was Neon Genesis Evangelion, one of the big favorites, who missed out on a medal in 4th place at 111 total points! Evangelion was unfortunate though as they lost three finals (in addition to 1 short version win) and in this close survey, Evangelion would actually have won the whole thing had they won just one of those finals!
Instead, the ended up 9pts behind our BRONZE medal winner which is GOD EATER! This anime was only nominated twice but got to the final both times, winning one of them! It was the first ever survey medal for God Eater!
Losing out in a very close fight for the overall win, SILVER went to TENGEN TOPPA GURRENN LAGANN! TTGL used to be a regular medal winner but hasn´t been able to shine in over 30 surveys so it is good to see this veteran back! It won a full and a short version from three total nominations, scoring a total of 171pts!
But at 175pts, beating TTGL by a mere 4pts, also with a Full and a Short Version won but more total nominations is SHINSEKAI YORI! So the anime also known as "From the New World" wins it 2nd ever GOLD medal in an anime survey (it also won Best Ending in Week 65) and takes the title of "Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime!"
Congratulations to Shinsekai yori and to everyone helping it to glory this week! We will see this show again in the season finals! ^^
This coming week, we continue with the 3rd Quarterfinal of the World Survey Championship which is already posted. Japan will not only take on France but also some handicaps under which they compete. Can their enormous (if not to say endless) quantity help them overcome both these hurdles? Or will Le Bleu move on to the Last 4? We will find out soon! :)
As always, here is the Roll of Honor of this past survey, and i hope to read all of you again in a week :-)

Survey 96: Best Love Triangle (Winners: Hachiman, Yukino and Yui)
This week we were searching for the Best Love-Triangle! Not only a prestigious title as there are many love quarrels in anime but also there were three births for the survey season finals on the line!
Five trios managed to get passed the crucial 100pt mark to get into medal contention, and it turned out that only the Shinsekai yori triangle of Saki, Satoru and Shun didn´t make it at 102pts. They finish in 5th.
There were two shows converting their two nominations into a win and a lost final. Those two both landed on 120pts subsequently and both of them take somewhat surprising BRONZE medals for their older shows. GRIFFITH, GUTS and CASCA from Berserk (1997) get a rare medal for the 1990s but even more remarkable is the Bronze for Macross´ trio of HIKARU, LYNN and MISA from 1982! Always good to see some classics make the podeum ^^
Also a win and a lost final but a point more due to a 3rd nomination has our SILVER medalist trio of KAZUSA, SETSUNA and HARUKI from the music drama WHITE ALBUM 2!
But absolutely unstoppable this week and probably a favorite win goes to no other than HACHIMAN, YUKINO and YUI from Oregairu! This trio was not only the only team with two wins this week, they even had THREE and stacked up 272pts, more than twice the amount of the silver medalist. Therefore they are the undisputed "Best Love Triangle in Anime!" and take the GOLD medal!
Congratulations to Oregairu as well as to those helping it to glory this week and thanks a lot to all participants ^^
Next week it is Halloween so we will focus on something much darker as we try to find the "Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime!" The survey is already posted due to my lack of time tomorrow.
As always, we end this ceremony with the Roll of Honor and some statistics :)
Hope to see you next Sunday, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Survey 95: WSC Quarterfinal 2: RUS v GER (Winner: Germany)
In the WSC Quarterfinal between Nr. 2 seed Russia and Nr. 7 seed Germany, we had the first upset of the tournament at least when it goes after seeding. Germany did not only win this anime based survey against the mightly Russians, they actually completely destroyed them and simply owned the arena!
They won with 7 of 9 participants, they won 4/5 short surveys, they won 4/6 full surveys and they even won when Russia managed to get 2/3 anime to Step 3! So the Germans did what they always tend to do in sports and competition: bring their A-Game when it matters most!
With a total score of 759-356, Germany won more than two thirds of all available points as well. An impressive performance by the anime representing the black, red and gold flag. Germany will face the winner of USA v Italy in the Semifinals next year. Russia is OUT and disappointed after a great performance in the qualifiers.
However, they do leave a winner behind as a russian show was able to take the title of MVP despite their heavy defeat. BLACK LAGOON was the only anime with more than one survey win this week so it is the Anime of the Match and therefore qualifies for the Season Finals!
Congrats to Germany, Black Lagoon and to everyone helping them to earn their victories! The WSC continues on November 6th when Japan faces France in Quarterfinal 3. Will the enormous quantity of Team Japan be enough to overcome their handicap rules? Or will France make it to the Final 4? We will find out in November!
However tomorrow we continue with a regular survey as we try to find the "Best Love Triangle!" Which trio will win over our hearts next week in this battle of love? ^^
By the way, here is the updated survey schedule for the coming weeks:
96 from 23-29.10.: Best Love Triangle
97 from 30.10.-5.11.: Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime
98 from 6.11-12.11.: WSC Quarterfinal 3: Japan v France (Character Survey)
99 from 13.11.-19.11. : Best Philosophical Anime
As always, i will leave you with the Roll of Honor from this week. So long!

Survey 94: Best Character from a Movie (Winner: San)
This week we searched for the Best Character from an Anime Movie and quite surprisingly we ended up with a pretty long list of total nominations (52) and also only one character winning more than one survey so there was a close fight for the Silver and Bronze medals.
Before we get to that, we send our compassion to Shouko Nishimiya from Koe no Katachi and Akira´s Tetsuo Shima. Those two are the couple of characters who got to over 100pts but missed out on the podeum by 5pts and 6pts respectively.
Beating the poor movie stars above at 108pts was Shiki Ryougi, the female protagonist from the Garden of Sinners series. She had four total nominations and was without much luck in the first three, but a win on the very last day of the survey helped her to leap into 3rd place and take the BRONZE medal away from Tetsuo.
Only two nominations but still winning SILVER after converting those two nominations into a win and a final (=120pts) has KIKI the highly likeable young witch from Kiki´s Delivery Service! This makes it a double win for the legendary Ghibli studio because...
...GOLD with a decisive 227pts after winning twice and reaching another final from six total nomination was our wonderful wolf girl SAN from Princess Mononoke! She wins Mononoke Hime´s 3rd all time Gold medal and most importantly takes the title of "Best Character from a Movie!"
Congratulations to her and to everyone helping her to victory this week, especially to Subarashii-san who participated in the surveys for the very first time and takes a Gold immediately!
aaaand that´s it for this week. Thanks a lot for participating once again to all of you. Tomorrow we will continue with the World Survey Championships when Russia will be facing Germany in the 2nd Quarterfinal. It might be a tough survey to find nominations for some of you guys so i hope things work out ^^
Hope to see you guys soon and as always, i leave you with the Roll of Honor of this past week! So long!

Four shows managed to break the 100+ points plain, and while there were veterans winning Silver and Bronze, the GOLD medal for the very first time went to BAKUMAN which collected two wins on four nominations!
Congratulations to Bakuman on taking the title of "Best 3rd Season in Anime" and to those helping it to do so. This week we will continue our surveys with "Best Character from a Movie!"

Survey 92: WSC Quarterfinal 1: GBR v CHN (Winner: Great Britain)
In the first WSC match, the Nr. 1 seed Great Britain was the heavy favorite against the 8th seed chinese team which barely survived the qualification round, and Team GB was not going easy on the poor chinese characters!
It proved to be nothing but a warm-up for the Brits who obviously wanted to make a statement towards the other top teams by almost scoring a thousand points and beating China by a final score of 981-405! So it is GREAT BRITAIN who easily move on to the Semifinals!
In the race for the MVP, it was SABER from who took the title of "Woman of the Match"! She has helped the Fate Series to a good number of medals in the past but was never lucky enough to get a GOLD medal up until now so i guess it was time for her to finally stand on top of the podeum!
SILVER (yes, we give away a full set of medals for the WSC MVP races too!) went to her brilliant teammate ALUCARD from Hellsing and the BRONZE medal was won by a chinese character! WENGE KONG from Ping Pong the Animation is not only a fantastic table tennis player, he also was not discouraged by the performance of the rest of his team and goes out of the WSC as China´s best team member!
The WSC continues on October 16th with the 2nd Quarterfinal where Russia will face Germany! Tomorrow we will continue with "Best 3rd Season", a somewhat difficult topic so i hope you will all find your nominations hehe
And now, honor to the winners: please stand as we play "God Save the Queen" for Team GB! See you tomorrow! ^^

Survey 91: Best Fantasy (Winner: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
This past week we went on a quest to find the Best Fantasy Anime, one of the largest genres out there so a prestigious title was on the line these past seven days!
46 shows made the list in total, 12 of those made the Roll of Honor but only three can finish on the podeum so let´s see who made it to the top.
There is some controversy regarding the battle for 3rd place because it really should go to the Magi Series which collected 203pts, however, Magi was nominated as a whole twice and won 103pts while the remaining 100pts were scored by Magi: The Kingdom of Magic alone, leading to this anime basically beating itself. It is perfectly legal to nominate anime series as a whole as well as separately but the consequences can possibly be annoying like in this survey lol
Therefore, Magi finishes 4th and tied 5th while the BRONZE medal is inherited by THE VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE which won two short versions and got to 143pts. This is the third medal for the "Best Anime for Females" winner.
There was a huge gap between 2nd and 3rd place as two shows battled really hard for the victory. In the end, three wins and 292pts were not enough for FATE/ZERO to take the title. It has to settle for SILVER after a tough fight all week long.
So, and most of you probably guessed it, the GOLD medal this week goes to FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD! Like Fate/Zero, FMA:B scored two full version- and a short version win. but whilst Fate/Zero only got to one additional final, FMA got two of them to get to an inpressive 312pts! So the Nr. 1 ranked anime on MAL handles the pressure of the favorite and takes the title of "Best Fantasy Anime!
Congratulations to FMA:B and to everyone helping it on its way to victory. Tomorrow we will continue with the 1st match of the World Survey Championship so i hope to see you all again soon :)

So after 14 eventful days which changed the surveys forever, it is finally time to get back to business and present the results for "Best Philosophical Anime!"
Five shows got passed the magical 100+pts mark, and in the end it was Death Parade and Haibane Renmei who missed out on a medal and had to settle for 5th and 5th place, and they didn´t come toooo close actually as two wins were necessary to get into the Top 3.
BRONZE this week went to the Winner of our last anime based survey, Shinsekai yori! The "Best Post-Apocalyptic" anime added a 3rd place to the tally with an opportunistic performance after getting nominated in two short versions only, but winning them both and therefore scoring 140pts.
It was a close duel for 1st and 2nd as both remaining shows got and full version and a short version victory. In the end, KINO NO TABI: THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD had to settle for BRONZE with 174pts. It was the very first medal ever for this wonderful show believe it or not!
However our winner is not a newcomer on the survey podeum: GHOST IN THE SHELL outlasted KnT by getting an additional final so they finished at 192pts, only 18 ahead. Therefore, GitS takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Philosophical Anime!" So we will see Motoko Kusanagi and her colleagues again in the season finals!
Congratulations to Ghost in the Shell and to everyone helping it on its way to glory this week ^^
Tomorrow we continue with survey Nr. 100!!! We are less than 24 hours away frm reaching triple digits :) Since i couldn´t come up with something special which satisfied me enough, i will use this anniversary to fulfill a couple of topic wishes instead. This is why we will continue with the Hair Color Battle, an idea by @Vinroy. So i hope to see you all again tomorrow :)
For now though i will leave you as always with the Roll of Honor of the past survey. So long!

Survey 98: WSC Quarterfinal 3: Japan v France (Winner: Japan)
Hey there everybody and welcome to the presentation of the results of the 3rd Quarterfinal of the World Survey Championship! ^^
I hope you all had a nice weekend :)
This week in the WSC, Japan was finally entering the competition and had a tough opponent when they faced France. The french got four survey wins and a total of very respectable 529 points. This is by far the best performance in a losing effort so far and Le Bleu even led until the very last day.
Japan took the lead on the 2nd to last result coming in and ultimately won 711-529, a deficit sounding much bigger than it actually is. So Japan does manage to survive a scare from France and did overcome the handicaps it competes with.
Unfortunately, no character was able to become MVP and qualify for the Survey Season Finals in since in this match, no character managed to get passed the 100pt mark.
Japan will now face Great Britain in the Semifinals. The last Quarterfinal of the WSC will begin on December 11th. The USA face Italy in that match and Germany awaits the winner of that match in the semifinals.
Despite there being no MVP and therefore no medal winners this week, i will of course still leave you with the Roll of Honor of the week ^^
In the coming week, the time for thinkers has come as we are searching for the Best Philosophical Anime! As you are used to from the previous week, this survey has already been posted.

Survey 97: Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime (Winner: Shinsekai yori)
Over the course of the week we were searching for the Best Post-Apocalyptic anime, a very specific topic yet one with many prominent available anime and it was a close one too! So who took home the honors? Let´s have a look!
Four shows reached more than 100pts, and quite surprisingly it was Neon Genesis Evangelion, one of the big favorites, who missed out on a medal in 4th place at 111 total points! Evangelion was unfortunate though as they lost three finals (in addition to 1 short version win) and in this close survey, Evangelion would actually have won the whole thing had they won just one of those finals!
Instead, the ended up 9pts behind our BRONZE medal winner which is GOD EATER! This anime was only nominated twice but got to the final both times, winning one of them! It was the first ever survey medal for God Eater!
Losing out in a very close fight for the overall win, SILVER went to TENGEN TOPPA GURRENN LAGANN! TTGL used to be a regular medal winner but hasn´t been able to shine in over 30 surveys so it is good to see this veteran back! It won a full and a short version from three total nominations, scoring a total of 171pts!
But at 175pts, beating TTGL by a mere 4pts, also with a Full and a Short Version won but more total nominations is SHINSEKAI YORI! So the anime also known as "From the New World" wins it 2nd ever GOLD medal in an anime survey (it also won Best Ending in Week 65) and takes the title of "Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime!"
Congratulations to Shinsekai yori and to everyone helping it to glory this week! We will see this show again in the season finals! ^^
This coming week, we continue with the 3rd Quarterfinal of the World Survey Championship which is already posted. Japan will not only take on France but also some handicaps under which they compete. Can their enormous (if not to say endless) quantity help them overcome both these hurdles? Or will Le Bleu move on to the Last 4? We will find out soon! :)
As always, here is the Roll of Honor of this past survey, and i hope to read all of you again in a week :-)

Survey 96: Best Love Triangle (Winners: Hachiman, Yukino and Yui)
This week we were searching for the Best Love-Triangle! Not only a prestigious title as there are many love quarrels in anime but also there were three births for the survey season finals on the line!
Five trios managed to get passed the crucial 100pt mark to get into medal contention, and it turned out that only the Shinsekai yori triangle of Saki, Satoru and Shun didn´t make it at 102pts. They finish in 5th.
There were two shows converting their two nominations into a win and a lost final. Those two both landed on 120pts subsequently and both of them take somewhat surprising BRONZE medals for their older shows. GRIFFITH, GUTS and CASCA from Berserk (1997) get a rare medal for the 1990s but even more remarkable is the Bronze for Macross´ trio of HIKARU, LYNN and MISA from 1982! Always good to see some classics make the podeum ^^
Also a win and a lost final but a point more due to a 3rd nomination has our SILVER medalist trio of KAZUSA, SETSUNA and HARUKI from the music drama WHITE ALBUM 2!
But absolutely unstoppable this week and probably a favorite win goes to no other than HACHIMAN, YUKINO and YUI from Oregairu! This trio was not only the only team with two wins this week, they even had THREE and stacked up 272pts, more than twice the amount of the silver medalist. Therefore they are the undisputed "Best Love Triangle in Anime!" and take the GOLD medal!
Congratulations to Oregairu as well as to those helping it to glory this week and thanks a lot to all participants ^^
Next week it is Halloween so we will focus on something much darker as we try to find the "Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime!" The survey is already posted due to my lack of time tomorrow.
As always, we end this ceremony with the Roll of Honor and some statistics :)
Hope to see you next Sunday, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Survey 95: WSC Quarterfinal 2: RUS v GER (Winner: Germany)
In the WSC Quarterfinal between Nr. 2 seed Russia and Nr. 7 seed Germany, we had the first upset of the tournament at least when it goes after seeding. Germany did not only win this anime based survey against the mightly Russians, they actually completely destroyed them and simply owned the arena!
They won with 7 of 9 participants, they won 4/5 short surveys, they won 4/6 full surveys and they even won when Russia managed to get 2/3 anime to Step 3! So the Germans did what they always tend to do in sports and competition: bring their A-Game when it matters most!
With a total score of 759-356, Germany won more than two thirds of all available points as well. An impressive performance by the anime representing the black, red and gold flag. Germany will face the winner of USA v Italy in the Semifinals next year. Russia is OUT and disappointed after a great performance in the qualifiers.
However, they do leave a winner behind as a russian show was able to take the title of MVP despite their heavy defeat. BLACK LAGOON was the only anime with more than one survey win this week so it is the Anime of the Match and therefore qualifies for the Season Finals!
Congrats to Germany, Black Lagoon and to everyone helping them to earn their victories! The WSC continues on November 6th when Japan faces France in Quarterfinal 3. Will the enormous quantity of Team Japan be enough to overcome their handicap rules? Or will France make it to the Final 4? We will find out in November!
However tomorrow we continue with a regular survey as we try to find the "Best Love Triangle!" Which trio will win over our hearts next week in this battle of love? ^^
By the way, here is the updated survey schedule for the coming weeks:
96 from 23-29.10.: Best Love Triangle
97 from 30.10.-5.11.: Best Post-Apocalyptic Anime
98 from 6.11-12.11.: WSC Quarterfinal 3: Japan v France (Character Survey)
99 from 13.11.-19.11. : Best Philosophical Anime

Survey 94: Best Character from a Movie (Winner: San)
This week we searched for the Best Character from an Anime Movie and quite surprisingly we ended up with a pretty long list of total nominations (52) and also only one character winning more than one survey so there was a close fight for the Silver and Bronze medals.
Before we get to that, we send our compassion to Shouko Nishimiya from Koe no Katachi and Akira´s Tetsuo Shima. Those two are the couple of characters who got to over 100pts but missed out on the podeum by 5pts and 6pts respectively.
Beating the poor movie stars above at 108pts was Shiki Ryougi, the female protagonist from the Garden of Sinners series. She had four total nominations and was without much luck in the first three, but a win on the very last day of the survey helped her to leap into 3rd place and take the BRONZE medal away from Tetsuo.
Only two nominations but still winning SILVER after converting those two nominations into a win and a final (=120pts) has KIKI the highly likeable young witch from Kiki´s Delivery Service! This makes it a double win for the legendary Ghibli studio because...
...GOLD with a decisive 227pts after winning twice and reaching another final from six total nomination was our wonderful wolf girl SAN from Princess Mononoke! She wins Mononoke Hime´s 3rd all time Gold medal and most importantly takes the title of "Best Character from a Movie!"
Congratulations to her and to everyone helping her to victory this week, especially to Subarashii-san who participated in the surveys for the very first time and takes a Gold immediately!
aaaand that´s it for this week. Thanks a lot for participating once again to all of you. Tomorrow we will continue with the World Survey Championships when Russia will be facing Germany in the 2nd Quarterfinal. It might be a tough survey to find nominations for some of you guys so i hope things work out ^^
Hope to see you guys soon and as always, i leave you with the Roll of Honor of this past week! So long!

This week we were searching for the Best 3rd Season in Anime! Here are the results:
Four shows managed to break the 100+ points plain, and while there were veterans winning Silver and Bronze, the GOLD medal for the very first time went to BAKUMAN which collected two wins on four nominations!
Congratulations to Bakuman on taking the title of "Best 3rd Season in Anime" and to those helping it to do so. This week we will continue our surveys with "Best Character from a Movie!"

Survey 92: WSC Quarterfinal 1: GBR v CHN (Winner: Great Britain)
In the first WSC match, the Nr. 1 seed Great Britain was the heavy favorite against the 8th seed chinese team which barely survived the qualification round, and Team GB was not going easy on the poor chinese characters!
It proved to be nothing but a warm-up for the Brits who obviously wanted to make a statement towards the other top teams by almost scoring a thousand points and beating China by a final score of 981-405! So it is GREAT BRITAIN who easily move on to the Semifinals!
In the race for the MVP, it was SABER from who took the title of "Woman of the Match"! She has helped the Fate Series to a good number of medals in the past but was never lucky enough to get a GOLD medal up until now so i guess it was time for her to finally stand on top of the podeum!
SILVER (yes, we give away a full set of medals for the WSC MVP races too!) went to her brilliant teammate ALUCARD from Hellsing and the BRONZE medal was won by a chinese character! WENGE KONG from Ping Pong the Animation is not only a fantastic table tennis player, he also was not discouraged by the performance of the rest of his team and goes out of the WSC as China´s best team member!
The WSC continues on October 16th with the 2nd Quarterfinal where Russia will face Germany! Tomorrow we will continue with "Best 3rd Season", a somewhat difficult topic so i hope you will all find your nominations hehe
And now, honor to the winners: please stand as we play "God Save the Queen" for Team GB! See you tomorrow! ^^

Survey 91: Best Fantasy (Winner: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
This past week we went on a quest to find the Best Fantasy Anime, one of the largest genres out there so a prestigious title was on the line these past seven days!
46 shows made the list in total, 12 of those made the Roll of Honor but only three can finish on the podeum so let´s see who made it to the top.
There is some controversy regarding the battle for 3rd place because it really should go to the Magi Series which collected 203pts, however, Magi was nominated as a whole twice and won 103pts while the remaining 100pts were scored by Magi: The Kingdom of Magic alone, leading to this anime basically beating itself. It is perfectly legal to nominate anime series as a whole as well as separately but the consequences can possibly be annoying like in this survey lol
Therefore, Magi finishes 4th and tied 5th while the BRONZE medal is inherited by THE VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE which won two short versions and got to 143pts. This is the third medal for the "Best Anime for Females" winner.
There was a huge gap between 2nd and 3rd place as two shows battled really hard for the victory. In the end, three wins and 292pts were not enough for FATE/ZERO to take the title. It has to settle for SILVER after a tough fight all week long.
So, and most of you probably guessed it, the GOLD medal this week goes to FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD! Like Fate/Zero, FMA:B scored two full version- and a short version win. but whilst Fate/Zero only got to one additional final, FMA got two of them to get to an inpressive 312pts! So the Nr. 1 ranked anime on MAL handles the pressure of the favorite and takes the title of "Best Fantasy Anime!
Congratulations to FMA:B and to everyone helping it on its way to victory. Tomorrow we will continue with the 1st match of the World Survey Championship so i hope to see you all again soon :)

Surveys 80-89
Anime Relations: Steins;Gate 0
Survey 89: Best Tokyo Anime (Winner: Steins;Gate)
First, here are the final standings from Survey 89, "Best Tokyo Anime!"
GOLD: (273pts)
Conde: Steins;Gate
Shinji: Steins;Gate

SILVER: (123pts)

Domenca: Great Teacher Onizuka*
Conde: Love Live! School Idol Project*
*Short Versions
so as you can see, STEINS;GATE unsurprisingly owned the competition and takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Tokyo Anime!" by a big margin of 250 points as it was the only anime with multiple wins, yet not winning twice but three times!
SILVER went to SHIROBAKO as it was the only Full Version winner with additional points and BRONZE was shared by the remaining full version winners which meant medals for everyone as consolation for the long wait haha
I will be back in one and a half hours or so with the results of Survey 90!
Survey 88: Best Tsundere (Winner: Taiga Aisaka)
Since our podeum hasn´t been used in a while, it is still dusty and needs to be cleaned so while this is done, let´s talk about a few characters who unfortunately could not make it...n...not that they care or anything... ;)
First of all a shout-out to Vegeta (DBZ) and Yuuji Kazami (Grisaia) as they are the only guys who reached finals with Vegeta beating Yuuji 2-1 in lost finals to become the best male tsundere lol
Shame none of them was able to win so the roll of honor consists of females only!
Apart from the Top 3, four more characters had a shot at a medal by gaining more than 100pts but the lack of a 2nd win prevented a better outcome mainly for Rin Toosaka from the Fate Series and Chitoge Kirisaki from Nisekoi. Those two had the most total nominations at 5 (joint with the girl who won the whole survey...) but had early exits only apart from their win, finishing at 111 and 110pts respectively. Nishinkino Maki (Love Live) and Misaki Ayuzawa (Kaichu wa Maid-Sama), who both finish at 103pts, are joint 6th.
Ok, now it appears the podeum is clean and ready to be climbed and two wins were necessary to earn this right this week!
Perhaps underperforming in the Full Versions with just one final yet still the BRONZE medal winner thanks to two won Short Versions is Saekano´s one and only ERIRI SPENCER SAWAMURA! Her 163pts were hard fought and good enough to take 3rd place!
The SILVER medal this week goes to MAKISE KURISU! The brilliant scientist from Steins;Gate received four nominations and won twice, giving her a total of 204pts! However she was still not too close to our winner because...
...as the only girl with three full version victories and also another lost final, stacking up 321pts, the GOLD medal, survey win and title of "Best Tsundere in Anime" unsurprisingly goes to TAIGA AISAKA from Toradora!
This is actually a huge deal as it shockingly is Taigas first ever survey medal and only the 2nd GOLD for Toradora ever after the show won Best Romance waaaaay back in Survey 21 so congratulations to Taiga and everyone helping her to getting this victory!
So that´s it for this week. Tomorrow we will continue by celebrating Japan´s great capital of Tokyo as we start our search to find the "Best Tokyo Anime!"
I hope to see you all again next week and as always i will leave you with the Roll of Honor and extended results from this past survey ^^
So long!

Survey 87: 2016/17 Season Finals: Anime Edition (Winner: Monogatari Series 2nd Season)
We had one thing left to do before we could finally head into our much deserved summer break and that was crowning the Overall Anime Champion of the 2016/17 survey season! Who would become the anime pendant to Shinobu Oshino who won the Character Championship? Let´s find out!
Four anime managed to get more than one win and a total only 7 collected triple digit points. At 100pts, Samurai Champloo took 7th overall. Hunter x Hunter got 107pts which was good enough for 6th place and Kill la Kill who lead the medals table for most successful anime of the season until today finished "only" in 5th with 122pts as a lost final cost it dearly. Mawaru Penguindrum, Shinsekai yori and Gintama complete the Top 10 outside of the medals range!
Now in the hunt for a surprising medal was Angel Beats! thanks to a couple of short version wins but it proved to be only good enough for 4th place which is still a very respectable result for this show!
So let´s finally get to the last podeum of the season and the lowest step on it is climbed by SHOUWA GENROKU RAKUGO SHINJUU! Our Anime of the Year 2016 winner scored only three times but all three were big scores as it won a Full Version and a Short Version and also lost a final, getting to a total of 190pts and winning BRONZE!
The exact same scores but one score more, getting it to 193pts makes CODE GEASS R2 win the battle for 2nd place by only three points! So the SILVER medal went to the Best War Anime. It still was hardly a challenger for the winner because...
...our old and new Overall Champion, defending the title of Overall Anime Champion 2017 and taking the GOLD medal with three full victories and 304pts is of course the MONOGATARI SERIES 2nd SEASON!
This does not at all come as a surprise when we look at the trend of the last three weeks but still, it was a dramatic fightback for the mighty Monogatari Series as it qualified in the last possible survey, winning the Perfect Survant Award. I guess the finals came just at the right time for Monogatari as the participants probably get hyped more and more as the new Monogatari season will air this summer.
Congratulations to our successful defending champion and to everyone helping it to glory. Monogatari 2nd Season keeps the crown...just like Real Madrid did yesterday haha
With the 3rd successive survey win, the Monogatari Series also makes an epic comeback from 11th to 1st place in the medals table of the season. The full season statistics will be posted within the next few days when i will also give all details for Season 3 and announce the World Survey Championships to which i would like your thoughts on the idea.
But for now, it is time for the curtain to fall! Thank you all very much for taking part in the past weeks and months and keeping this survey thing alive for two years now. The 2nd Season is now officially over! Enjoy your summer everybody! :-)

Survey 86: 2016/17 Season Finals: Character Edition (Winner: Shinobu Oshino)
Welcome to the penultimate victory ceremony of the 2nd survey season! The first week of our finals is over, the results are in and you the survants have spoken and crowned the Overall Character Champion of the Year!
I hope you all had or still have a wonderful weekend and that you are now ready to receive the results ^^
23 Characters have qualified for the 2017 Finals by winning a survey over the course of the past nine months and 21 of those also received points in the final. A total of 12 made the Roll of Honor this week too and seven got to more than 100pts and were therefore in the hunt for the podeum!
Unlike last year, where one of our Monia Award Winners for Character of the Year also won the finals when One Punch Man´s one and only Saitama dominate, Male of the Year winner Arataka Reigen finished "only" in 7th place. Also not too far away from a medal were Sakamoto (Sakamoto desu ga?) and Mako from this seasons medals table leading show Kill la Kill. They finished 5th and 6th respectively.
Knocked down from the podeum into 4th place on the very last day of the survey was poor Okabe from Steins;Gate! Okarin, who only won a side survey during the Monia Awards as Male of the Year 2011 was in 3rd place for most of the competition but had his surprise medal taken away less than two hours from the deadline!
And so we finally get to the medalists: the one stealing BRONZE was none other than MEGUMIN from KonoSuba! The Female Character of the Year Winner previously lost two finals but just when it seems luck was not on her side, she had the necessary victory in her to jump to 143pts overall, beating Okabe by 17 and taking 3rd place!
Way ahead of the rest were the Top 2 who also had a tough battle all the way to the very last result that came in. What a nerve wrecking final it was!
Leading since Day 1 was the man you guys elected President of Animeland: with three victories and a total of 306pts, LELOUCH LAMPEROUGE (Code Geass) looked like the winner until, once again, Sunday came around! His SILVER, although a major achievement, might be a bitter pill to swallow for him!
Because with four total wins, two of which came today and causing a sensational comeback, our winner amounted 170pts in the last three hours of the survey, getting to a total of 382pts! Ladies and Gentleman: your 2017 Survey Champion iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis....SHINOBU OSHINO!!!
It has been a somewhat quiet 2nd survey season for the Monogatari Series until this month but Shinobu was able to qualify for the finals as the only Character from her series when she won Best Loli quite early this season in Survey 56. Incredibly enough, five Monogatari characters qualified for the finals last year and she was not among them! So she gets ultimate revenge this time, takes Saitama´s throne, the GOLD medal and the title of "Overall Character Survey Champion 2017"!
Congratulations to her and to everyone helping her on her way to victory. Shinobu can especially thank @clover. He was the last survant to complete his survey 40 minutes from time. Had she lost his final, Lelouch would have been able to hang on to 1st place by 4pts! haha
So that´s it from the character side of things. There is one week left in the season and there is one thing left to do which is crowning the Overall Anime Champion. Which anime will take the biggest title of them all? The survey has already started! (since i´m probably unable to post it tomorrow, i posted it earlier again)
So have fun with the final survey before summer break and i hope to see you all again one last time next Sunday evening :-) So long!

Here are the results of the last "regular season" survey of the 2nd survey season, The Purfect Survant Award, created in honor of the three folks who managed to take part in every single survey this season: Conde, Tarotist and Puchkov ^^
It was a close match but the Monogatari Series 2nd Season was just able to defeat The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya by just 4pts, 224:220!
In the coming two weeks, we will crown the champions of the season, starting with the Character Edition. I already posted it as i won´t have time tomorrow as mentioned already! I´ll post all qualified characters and anime anyway in this thread in the following post!

Survey 84: AnimeVision Song Contest 2017 (Winner: A Cruel Angel´s Thesis)
I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well as Voting in our very own version of Europe´s biggest music contest, the Eurovision Song Contest which ended yesterday and brought Portugal their very first win!
So let´s see who won in the Anime Version of this famous competition :)
Due to the nature of the survey, it was a very tough road for a song to more than 100 total points and it could only be managed by two songs. This means we have quite a few songs who share the BRONZE medal at 100pts each and they are:
GRANRODEO - The Other Self (Kuroko no Basket 2nd Season)
Boa - Duvet (Serial Experiments Lain)
Cyua - Blumenkranz (Kill la Kill)
Sigur Ros – Hoppipolla (Blossom)
Madoka Yonezawa - White Album (White Album 2)
Momokurotei Ichimon - Nippon Egao Hyakkei (Joshiraku)
This marked the first ever medals for White Album 2 and Kuroko no Basket, while on the other hand this seasons´medal table leader Kill la Kill was also able to add to their tally.
With a won Hardcore version and an additional 3rd place finish, SILVER went to a fictional band! Guess we will never see that in the actual ESC! It is Love Live!´s school idol group whose name only consists of one greek letter who takes 2nd place: μ´s performance of "Snow Halation" convinced the audience and gets a well deserved place on the podeum!
But there can only be one GOLD medalist and the champions of the maiden edition of the AnimeVision Song Contest iiiiiiiiiis YOKO TAKAHASHI! The japanese singer reached three finals in Full- and Hardcore Versions, winning one of them which takes her to a total of 140pts! And now, listen again to the rendition of "A Cruel Angel´s Thesis, our winning song!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nafii87gdzs
This will also take Neon Genesis Evangelion to the season finals! Thank you very much everyone for taking part and thanks again to Conde for creating this unique survey.
Next week will be our last survey before we get to the finals. As we honor the trio who took part in every single survey of the season, we will hand out the Perfect Survant Award starting tomorrow so i hope to see you all again soon :-)
And as always, here is the Roll of Honor of the week!

Survey 83: Best Otherworldly Character (Winner: Vegeta)
This past week we paid tribute to all of the fascinating Aliens of Anime as we tried to find the best Character who was not born (or created...) on earth!
Four characters managed to get past the magical 100pts mark and two duels developed, one for Bronze and one for Gold!
With two wins and a points total of 176, it was Tooru from Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon wo was unfortunate enough to miss out on the medal ranks as 200+ was needed this time, very unlike the survey before.
And so, it was Death Note´s RYUK who took the BRONZE medal! His two full version victories from four total nominations were good enough for him to claim the lowest step on the podeum, winning the 5th overall medal for Death Note.
99pts ahead of Ryuk finished YUKI NAGATO who therefore lost out in the fight for the overall title. I´d call this a continuation of our traditional 2nd place finishes for the top favorite. I personally definitely thought she would win but it was not the case! Anyway this SILVER medal for Yuki solidifies the Suzumiya Series´ 2nd place in the overall survey table and you do not miss out on the title with three full version wins often so she did well and was unlucky.
Instead (and i kind of predicted it in last weeks prize presentation :P) we witness survey history today as VEGETA from Dragon Ball Z became the first character ever to win back-to-back character surveys! While we was lucky last week, there is no doubt he deserves the crown this time as he stacked up 339pts thanks to being the king of short versions (but he also got one full version), beating Yuki by 36. He also had the most total nominations! It is also proof of his immense popularity among DBZ watchers as Son Goku finished this survey at only 7pts in nomansland. VEGETA takes the survey, the GOLD medal and most importantly the title of "Best Otherwordly Character!".
Congratulations to him and to those who supported him on his way to history :)
This week, the Eurovision Song Contest will captivate a whole continent again. To pay tribute to this huge music festival, regular survant Conde created the AnimeVision Song Contest for you guys. However, our version of the Song Contest will of course NOT be restricted to Europeans so enjoy it, everybody! ;)
That´s it for another victory ceremony! Get home safely and enjoy the Roll of Honor and statistics from the past week! So long!

Survey 82: Best Compensation Character (Winner: Vegeta)
let´s have a look at the results for the fight of Best Compensation Character. In other words, we were searching for characters who made an anime you didn´t really enjoy better.
Because of the nature of the topic, the chances of the same character winning two surveys were really low and, you already guessed it, it did not happen. So it was all about collecting extra points for the full version winners.
Quite amazingly, only one character was able to do that and get to over 100pts! Actually, he was the only character of them all who was even mentioned as a nominee by more than one person! This led to a huge list of characters in the full final standings so i hope i didn´t forget any of the 63 (!) who won points.
This also means that you can all celebrate your free silver medals as the outcome puts every other full version winner into joint 2nd place! SILVER went to...well...you will see that in the Roll of Honor lol, there are too many characters to talk about every single one of them.
However, the winner with 102pts waaaaas...Clovers pick! This character was no other than VEGETA from Dragon Ball Z. He was helped to the top of the table by the extra nominee from sytemet. So Dragon Ball after all this time has finally won a survey!! Vegeta takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Compensation Character!"
Congratulations to Vegeta and those helping him to glory! Enjoy your silvers, everybody else! haha
Here´s the Roll of Honor from the past week and i hope to see you all this coming Sunday when our next survey (which is already posted and where Vegeta might follow his victory up with another medal maybe?) ends :-)

so as you can see, STEINS;GATE unsurprisingly owned the competition and takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Tokyo Anime!" by a big margin of 250 points as it was the only anime with multiple wins, yet not winning twice but three times!
SILVER went to SHIROBAKO as it was the only Full Version winner with additional points and BRONZE was shared by the remaining full version winners which meant medals for everyone as consolation for the long wait haha
I will be back in one and a half hours or so with the results of Survey 90!
Survey 88: Best Tsundere (Winner: Taiga Aisaka)
Since our podeum hasn´t been used in a while, it is still dusty and needs to be cleaned so while this is done, let´s talk about a few characters who unfortunately could not make it...n...not that they care or anything... ;)
First of all a shout-out to Vegeta (DBZ) and Yuuji Kazami (Grisaia) as they are the only guys who reached finals with Vegeta beating Yuuji 2-1 in lost finals to become the best male tsundere lol
Shame none of them was able to win so the roll of honor consists of females only!
Apart from the Top 3, four more characters had a shot at a medal by gaining more than 100pts but the lack of a 2nd win prevented a better outcome mainly for Rin Toosaka from the Fate Series and Chitoge Kirisaki from Nisekoi. Those two had the most total nominations at 5 (joint with the girl who won the whole survey...) but had early exits only apart from their win, finishing at 111 and 110pts respectively. Nishinkino Maki (Love Live) and Misaki Ayuzawa (Kaichu wa Maid-Sama), who both finish at 103pts, are joint 6th.
Ok, now it appears the podeum is clean and ready to be climbed and two wins were necessary to earn this right this week!
Perhaps underperforming in the Full Versions with just one final yet still the BRONZE medal winner thanks to two won Short Versions is Saekano´s one and only ERIRI SPENCER SAWAMURA! Her 163pts were hard fought and good enough to take 3rd place!
The SILVER medal this week goes to MAKISE KURISU! The brilliant scientist from Steins;Gate received four nominations and won twice, giving her a total of 204pts! However she was still not too close to our winner because...
...as the only girl with three full version victories and also another lost final, stacking up 321pts, the GOLD medal, survey win and title of "Best Tsundere in Anime" unsurprisingly goes to TAIGA AISAKA from Toradora!
This is actually a huge deal as it shockingly is Taigas first ever survey medal and only the 2nd GOLD for Toradora ever after the show won Best Romance waaaaay back in Survey 21 so congratulations to Taiga and everyone helping her to getting this victory!
So that´s it for this week. Tomorrow we will continue by celebrating Japan´s great capital of Tokyo as we start our search to find the "Best Tokyo Anime!"
I hope to see you all again next week and as always i will leave you with the Roll of Honor and extended results from this past survey ^^
So long!

Survey 87: 2016/17 Season Finals: Anime Edition (Winner: Monogatari Series 2nd Season)
We had one thing left to do before we could finally head into our much deserved summer break and that was crowning the Overall Anime Champion of the 2016/17 survey season! Who would become the anime pendant to Shinobu Oshino who won the Character Championship? Let´s find out!
Four anime managed to get more than one win and a total only 7 collected triple digit points. At 100pts, Samurai Champloo took 7th overall. Hunter x Hunter got 107pts which was good enough for 6th place and Kill la Kill who lead the medals table for most successful anime of the season until today finished "only" in 5th with 122pts as a lost final cost it dearly. Mawaru Penguindrum, Shinsekai yori and Gintama complete the Top 10 outside of the medals range!
Now in the hunt for a surprising medal was Angel Beats! thanks to a couple of short version wins but it proved to be only good enough for 4th place which is still a very respectable result for this show!
So let´s finally get to the last podeum of the season and the lowest step on it is climbed by SHOUWA GENROKU RAKUGO SHINJUU! Our Anime of the Year 2016 winner scored only three times but all three were big scores as it won a Full Version and a Short Version and also lost a final, getting to a total of 190pts and winning BRONZE!
The exact same scores but one score more, getting it to 193pts makes CODE GEASS R2 win the battle for 2nd place by only three points! So the SILVER medal went to the Best War Anime. It still was hardly a challenger for the winner because...
...our old and new Overall Champion, defending the title of Overall Anime Champion 2017 and taking the GOLD medal with three full victories and 304pts is of course the MONOGATARI SERIES 2nd SEASON!
This does not at all come as a surprise when we look at the trend of the last three weeks but still, it was a dramatic fightback for the mighty Monogatari Series as it qualified in the last possible survey, winning the Perfect Survant Award. I guess the finals came just at the right time for Monogatari as the participants probably get hyped more and more as the new Monogatari season will air this summer.
Congratulations to our successful defending champion and to everyone helping it to glory. Monogatari 2nd Season keeps the crown...just like Real Madrid did yesterday haha
With the 3rd successive survey win, the Monogatari Series also makes an epic comeback from 11th to 1st place in the medals table of the season. The full season statistics will be posted within the next few days when i will also give all details for Season 3 and announce the World Survey Championships to which i would like your thoughts on the idea.
But for now, it is time for the curtain to fall! Thank you all very much for taking part in the past weeks and months and keeping this survey thing alive for two years now. The 2nd Season is now officially over! Enjoy your summer everybody! :-)

23 Characters have qualified for the 2017 Finals by winning a survey over the course of the past nine months and 21 of those also received points in the final. A total of 12 made the Roll of Honor this week too and seven got to more than 100pts and were therefore in the hunt for the podeum!
Unlike last year, where one of our Monia Award Winners for Character of the Year also won the finals when One Punch Man´s one and only Saitama dominate, Male of the Year winner Arataka Reigen finished "only" in 7th place. Also not too far away from a medal were Sakamoto (Sakamoto desu ga?) and Mako from this seasons medals table leading show Kill la Kill. They finished 5th and 6th respectively.
Knocked down from the podeum into 4th place on the very last day of the survey was poor Okabe from Steins;Gate! Okarin, who only won a side survey during the Monia Awards as Male of the Year 2011 was in 3rd place for most of the competition but had his surprise medal taken away less than two hours from the deadline!
And so we finally get to the medalists: the one stealing BRONZE was none other than MEGUMIN from KonoSuba! The Female Character of the Year Winner previously lost two finals but just when it seems luck was not on her side, she had the necessary victory in her to jump to 143pts overall, beating Okabe by 17 and taking 3rd place!
Way ahead of the rest were the Top 2 who also had a tough battle all the way to the very last result that came in. What a nerve wrecking final it was!
Leading since Day 1 was the man you guys elected President of Animeland: with three victories and a total of 306pts, LELOUCH LAMPEROUGE (Code Geass) looked like the winner until, once again, Sunday came around! His SILVER, although a major achievement, might be a bitter pill to swallow for him!
Because with four total wins, two of which came today and causing a sensational comeback, our winner amounted 170pts in the last three hours of the survey, getting to a total of 382pts! Ladies and Gentleman: your 2017 Survey Champion iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis....SHINOBU OSHINO!!!
It has been a somewhat quiet 2nd survey season for the Monogatari Series until this month but Shinobu was able to qualify for the finals as the only Character from her series when she won Best Loli quite early this season in Survey 56. Incredibly enough, five Monogatari characters qualified for the finals last year and she was not among them! So she gets ultimate revenge this time, takes Saitama´s throne, the GOLD medal and the title of "Overall Character Survey Champion 2017"!
Congratulations to her and to everyone helping her on her way to victory. Shinobu can especially thank @clover. He was the last survant to complete his survey 40 minutes from time. Had she lost his final, Lelouch would have been able to hang on to 1st place by 4pts! haha
So that´s it from the character side of things. There is one week left in the season and there is one thing left to do which is crowning the Overall Anime Champion. Which anime will take the biggest title of them all? The survey has already started! (since i´m probably unable to post it tomorrow, i posted it earlier again)
So have fun with the final survey before summer break and i hope to see you all again one last time next Sunday evening :-) So long!

Survey 84: AnimeVision Song Contest 2017 (Winner: A Cruel Angel´s Thesis)
I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well as Voting in our very own version of Europe´s biggest music contest, the Eurovision Song Contest which ended yesterday and brought Portugal their very first win!
So let´s see who won in the Anime Version of this famous competition :)
Due to the nature of the survey, it was a very tough road for a song to more than 100 total points and it could only be managed by two songs. This means we have quite a few songs who share the BRONZE medal at 100pts each and they are:
GRANRODEO - The Other Self (Kuroko no Basket 2nd Season)
Boa - Duvet (Serial Experiments Lain)
Cyua - Blumenkranz (Kill la Kill)
Sigur Ros – Hoppipolla (Blossom)
Madoka Yonezawa - White Album (White Album 2)
Momokurotei Ichimon - Nippon Egao Hyakkei (Joshiraku)
This marked the first ever medals for White Album 2 and Kuroko no Basket, while on the other hand this seasons´medal table leader Kill la Kill was also able to add to their tally.
With a won Hardcore version and an additional 3rd place finish, SILVER went to a fictional band! Guess we will never see that in the actual ESC! It is Love Live!´s school idol group whose name only consists of one greek letter who takes 2nd place: μ´s performance of "Snow Halation" convinced the audience and gets a well deserved place on the podeum!
But there can only be one GOLD medalist and the champions of the maiden edition of the AnimeVision Song Contest iiiiiiiiiis YOKO TAKAHASHI! The japanese singer reached three finals in Full- and Hardcore Versions, winning one of them which takes her to a total of 140pts! And now, listen again to the rendition of "A Cruel Angel´s Thesis, our winning song!

This will also take Neon Genesis Evangelion to the season finals! Thank you very much everyone for taking part and thanks again to Conde for creating this unique survey.
Next week will be our last survey before we get to the finals. As we honor the trio who took part in every single survey of the season, we will hand out the Perfect Survant Award starting tomorrow so i hope to see you all again soon :-)
And as always, here is the Roll of Honor of the week!

Survey 83: Best Otherworldly Character (Winner: Vegeta)
This past week we paid tribute to all of the fascinating Aliens of Anime as we tried to find the best Character who was not born (or created...) on earth!
Four characters managed to get past the magical 100pts mark and two duels developed, one for Bronze and one for Gold!
With two wins and a points total of 176, it was Tooru from Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon wo was unfortunate enough to miss out on the medal ranks as 200+ was needed this time, very unlike the survey before.
And so, it was Death Note´s RYUK who took the BRONZE medal! His two full version victories from four total nominations were good enough for him to claim the lowest step on the podeum, winning the 5th overall medal for Death Note.
99pts ahead of Ryuk finished YUKI NAGATO who therefore lost out in the fight for the overall title. I´d call this a continuation of our traditional 2nd place finishes for the top favorite. I personally definitely thought she would win but it was not the case! Anyway this SILVER medal for Yuki solidifies the Suzumiya Series´ 2nd place in the overall survey table and you do not miss out on the title with three full version wins often so she did well and was unlucky.
Instead (and i kind of predicted it in last weeks prize presentation :P) we witness survey history today as VEGETA from Dragon Ball Z became the first character ever to win back-to-back character surveys! While we was lucky last week, there is no doubt he deserves the crown this time as he stacked up 339pts thanks to being the king of short versions (but he also got one full version), beating Yuki by 36. He also had the most total nominations! It is also proof of his immense popularity among DBZ watchers as Son Goku finished this survey at only 7pts in nomansland. VEGETA takes the survey, the GOLD medal and most importantly the title of "Best Otherwordly Character!".
Congratulations to him and to those who supported him on his way to history :)
This week, the Eurovision Song Contest will captivate a whole continent again. To pay tribute to this huge music festival, regular survant Conde created the AnimeVision Song Contest for you guys. However, our version of the Song Contest will of course NOT be restricted to Europeans so enjoy it, everybody! ;)
That´s it for another victory ceremony! Get home safely and enjoy the Roll of Honor and statistics from the past week! So long!

Survey 82: Best Compensation Character (Winner: Vegeta)
let´s have a look at the results for the fight of Best Compensation Character. In other words, we were searching for characters who made an anime you didn´t really enjoy better.
Because of the nature of the topic, the chances of the same character winning two surveys were really low and, you already guessed it, it did not happen. So it was all about collecting extra points for the full version winners.
Quite amazingly, only one character was able to do that and get to over 100pts! Actually, he was the only character of them all who was even mentioned as a nominee by more than one person! This led to a huge list of characters in the full final standings so i hope i didn´t forget any of the 63 (!) who won points.
This also means that you can all celebrate your free silver medals as the outcome puts every other full version winner into joint 2nd place! SILVER went to...well...you will see that in the Roll of Honor lol, there are too many characters to talk about every single one of them.
However, the winner with 102pts waaaaas...Clovers pick! This character was no other than VEGETA from Dragon Ball Z. He was helped to the top of the table by the extra nominee from sytemet. So Dragon Ball after all this time has finally won a survey!! Vegeta takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Compensation Character!"
Congratulations to Vegeta and those helping him to glory! Enjoy your silvers, everybody else! haha
Here´s the Roll of Honor from the past week and i hope to see you all this coming Sunday when our next survey (which is already posted and where Vegeta might follow his victory up with another medal maybe?) ends :-)

Surveys 71-79

Survey 79: Best War Anime (Winner: Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2)
This week, we went to the battlefields of anime in order to find the Best Show in a War setting! Starting this week i will be highlighting the shows who managed to win more than 100pts and didn´t make the podeum too as i think it is a good achievement to win 101+ ^^
So knocking on the door to medals but not quite making it were The Vision of Escaflowne (103pts) in 6th place and Texhnolyze in 5th place which is as far as i recall its best position ever. Closest to the podeum but still standing next to it was perhaps a bit suprisingly Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood! At 123pts, it missed out on Bronze by only 8pts!
So let´s get to the medal ranks and BRONZE this week goes to CODE GEASS! Nominated as a whole series, Code Geass won a full version, lost another final and was also the most nominated show of the week. Still, the winner of the Best Mecha survey early this season "only" takes 3rd place this time.
Ten points more were scored by KILL LA KILL! The 3-time survey winner collected a win, two finals and another nominee for a total of 141pts which was good enough for SILVER this week!
But undefendable for its enemies in this survey was CODE GEASS R2! The 2nd Hangyaku no Lelouch season was nominated separately only twice but ended up winning both times, making it the champion at 200pts! So Code Geass could not even be stopped by itself and therefore deservedly takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best War Anime!"
With Gold and Bronze for Code Geass and Silver for Kill la Kill, the those two shows added to their impressive medal collection and they are now tied for the most successful anime of the 2nd survey season at 3 wins each. So the empire definitely struck back in the past seven days!
Congratulations to the winner and everyone of you helping their favorites to win a medal and thanks a lot as always for taking part :-)
On a sidenote i wanna say that even if our participation isn´t what we had back in the amazing days, we have still gotten past 700 participations in this season this week so things could be worse after almost two years now hehe
Next week in our 80th survey we continue with "Best Overweight Character" which i moved forward because i am happy with how the survey turned out and with the planned topic of "Best Disabled Character" my mind went blank a bit and i couldn´t come up with something i was satisfied with so another topic got moved forward. Sorry to those who already prepared nominees if such survants exist haha
Well anyways...i leave you as always with the Roll of Honor and full results to research and maybe fill your PTW list with ^^ See you soon!

Survey 78: Best Teacher (Winner: Eikichi Onizuka)
Anime is home to an awful lot of Senseis so it was time to find out who you guys think the Best Teacher in Anime is this week!
Despite only 14 answers, there were still a lot of different nominations so we ended up with almost 40 teachers on the points list.
Fun fact: We give away mass medals for the first time since the invention of the points system as five Full Version winners ended up with no additional points and therefore the will have to cuddle on the lowest step on the podeum as Genji Kamogawa (Hajime no Ippo), Kouhei Inuzuka (Amaama to Inazuma), Genjuro Kazanari (Symphogear), Obaba Tamura (Ping Pong the Animation) and last but not least the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven (Mozart wa Komoriuta wo Utawanai) share the BRONZE medal lol
Two characters dominated the week clearly. First, our SILVER medalist is KORO-SENSEI from Assassination Classroom! He´s got two wins and two additional nomination and therefore finishes runner-up at 204pts!
Still a somewhat convincing victory goes to the favorite EIKICHI ONIZUKA, the title hero of GTO as a few of you correctly predicted. Favorites have a tendency to finish 2nd in our surveys but not this time. With three total wins (2 full, 1 short) and a lost final he wins no fewer than 290pts, meaning he would not have even needed the short version win to get the GOLD medal. Onizuka deservedly takes the title of "Best Teacher in Anime!"
Congratulations to him and to those helping him on his root to victory :-)
Peaceful times are over for a week as our next survey will be "Best War Anime" so dig up your favorite anime in war settings and participate!
I hope to see you guys again soon and as always i´m finishing this presentation off with the Roll of Honor+Extended Results for the curious people out there ;)

Survey 77: Best Long Running Series (Winner: Hunter x Hunter)
While as expected the so called Big 4 had many nominations, all but one of them really struggled in this survey. The biggest surprise here was probably that One Piece could not even make the Roll of Honor!
Also this survey annoyingly came a week too early for the Monogatari Series who is now at 90 episodes but the new season which was just announced this week will take it over 100 lol
Anyway, let´s finally get to the fight for the podeum. The battle for 3rd place brought, for the first time since the introduction of the points system, a different outcome than the old system would have brought. Despite Yuu Yuu Hakusho getting a Full win and a Short win and DBZ "only" getting two short wins, it still made up the points differential by reaching two additional final as well as becoming the most nominated show of the survey. That´s why at 190pts, DRAGON BALL Z takes the BRONZE medal!
SILVER this week went to the hilarious samurai comedy called GINTAMA! With two full versions won and an additional nomination, it got to 201 points and just missed its 2nd victory of the survey season.
Instead, first place goes to a show which has missed out on a win twice this season so far as it has previously won two silvers and now finally gets the first GOLD medal. HUNTER x HUNTER (2011) was the only show of the survey reaching three total wins and with 264pts takes the title of "Best Long Running Series!".
One Piece despite failing in this survey still has reason to celebrate as our previous survey had to be decided by a voting poll and that poll crowned TRAFALGAR LAW the winner of survey 76: Best Late Entry Character!
Congratulations to the winners as well as to those who helped their picks to win ^^
I hope to see you all again very soon and i leave you with the Roll of Honor from this week. Also, i will shorty post the survey schedule for the month of April :-)

Survey 75: Best Short Series (Winner: Carnival Phantasm)
This week in surveying we crowned our favorite Short Series. It does not need 20+ minute episodes to create amazing stories and great entertainment and the following shows are the best proof as only anime with episode legths of less than 15 minutes were allowed!
Behind the obligatory two shows who broke the more-than-one-win barrier, the fight for 3rd place was close but maybe not as close as it seems. Given that no anime with one Full Version win reached another final, it was obvious that the most nominated show would take the lowest step on the podeum.
This was funny and heartwarming 2-season show I CAN´T UNDERSTAND WHAT MY HUSBAND IS SAYING! It was the most nominated show in the whole survey and won 13 extra points, beating Tonari no Seki-kun by 6 to take the BRONZE!
With a Full- and a Short Version won, another comedy show made the Top 3. SAIKI KUSUO NO Ψ-NAN (TV) took the SILVER medal. The 120-episode long short series with 5 minute episodes aired less than a year ago and became the highest ranked short series on MAL, currently in 54th!
However, it was beaten here in our survey as CARNIVAL PHANTASM with two full wins becomes the only series of the week to reach 200pts so the 12x14 minute long OVA series wins the GOLD medal and most importantly the title of "Best Short Series in Anime!"This also marks the maiden survey win for Studio Lerche.
Congratulations to the winner and to everyone helping it to win points :-)
Thanks a lot for taking part again and i hope to see you in the coming week when we focus on characters who appear out of nowhere so be prepared ;)

Survey 74: Best Old Character (Winner: Jiraiya)
After crowning the best of the best of 2016 for the whole past month, it was time to put some characters into the spotlight who usually don´t get a lot of love. Among all those teenaged main characters, we successfully crowned the Best Old Character this week!
First of all i am happy to announce that no supernaturally old characters made the podeum haha
I was kind of planning to exclude them from the survey but then forgot -.-
As only two older guys managed to get to more than one victory, the fight for 3td place was a mass sprint between all people who won a full version.
Remarkably, only one of them had an additional nomination, getting him to 102pts and climb the lowest step on the podeum. BRONZE went to GENJI KAMOGAWA from Hajime no Ippo! It is the first survey medal for the former Bantamweight and founder of Kamogawa Boxing Gym!
Our SILVER medalist is the only character who is not new on the Top 3. While he picks up his 3rd medal, he still misses out on his first survey victory though as two short wins, a lost full final and two more nominations were not enough. With 164 total points, JOSEPH JOESTAR is our runner-up! JoJo is old enough to compete here in Stadust Crusaders.
But a relatively decisive victory with 241pts goes to JIRAIYA from Naruto! At age 54, he was just four years older than the deadline for eligibility in this survey and he used his superior fitness to win 2 full versions and get to two other finals. He also got an extra nomination just to make sure. This is also just the 4th survey title ever for a "Big 4" series! Jiraiya takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Old Character!"
And that´s it for this week. Congratulations if your choice went to the podeum this week and i hope to see you guys again for Survey 75 when we try find the "Best Short Series" (by episode length).
So see you guys soon and i leave you as always with the Roll of Honor of the week :-)

Survey 73: Anime of the Year 2016 (Winner: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu)
With a two day delay i can now finally present to you the most anticipated results of the Year maybe as last week you guys crowned the "Anime of the Year!" in the final week of our 2nd Monia Awards!
Before we get to it, i want to apologize for the delay. I got into some unexpected stress the last two days and couldn´t find enough time to properly do this victory ceremony. But hey, if the Oscars can announce the wrong Winner for Best Movie, i can get away with a delayed presentation thread ;)
So let´s see who will become the La La L...oh, i mean the Moonlight of Anime!
A total of 30 Anime received at least one nomination from you guys and to honor the great titles who didn´t quite make the podeum, here are the other Anime which made the Top 10 of last year!
10th: Keijo!!!!!!!! (95pts)
8th: Amanchu and 3-gatsu no Lion (100pts)
7th: Kimi no na wa (101pts)
5th: Tanaka-kun and Hibike!Euphonium 2 (102pts)
Then there was a gap to 4th place and the fight for the medal ranks started!
With the very last result coming in, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Sukufuku wo! collected its 2nd short version win and jumped from 12th place all the way to 3rd place, winning the BRONZE medal at 151pts! KONOSUBA stole away the podeum finish from poor Jojo, who at 140pts had to settle for 4th with Diamond is Unbreakable. What a late, dramatic turn of events right at the finish line!
KonoSuba is also the most successful anime of the Award Surveys as it finishes with 1 Gold, 2 Silvers and 1 Bronze! So it won more medals than there were (positive) surveys, an impressive performance!
More than a full version win away from Konosuba were the Top 2 who were in a league of their own to fight it out for the overall win! In the end, it was all about the survants´decisions in the final Step 4, because...
...MOB PSYCHO 100 at 262 points was the most nominated anime of them all and also the one that got to most finals with 5. It won (only) two of them and lost three, one too few to win this survey! So Mob Psycho, which produced the Award Winner for Best Male, has to settle for a very good SILVER MEDAL!
It was beaten by the most opportunistic performance. Our champion has only three nominations, but managed to miraculously win all three of those to collect exactly 300pts! Ladies and Gentleman! Your "Anime of the Year 2016" and therefore Gold Medalist and Monia Award Winner iiiiiiiiiis SHOUWA GENROKU RAKUGO SHINJUU!!!
So just like in the Academy Awards, we also had a surprising little twist right at the end as the previous few weeks did not really influence the outcome (very similar to last year where One Punch Man also finished 2nd as the favorite).
So congratulations to Shouwa and everyone who helped it become the successor of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku which won twelve months ago!
In the 2011 version, the trend of the favorites finishing in 2nd continues as Steins;Gate which produced both the Male- and Female Character of the Year was unexpectedly (and much to my own joy haha) defeated by a crazy rollercoaster ride called MAWARU PENGUINDRUM which steals the title for Anime of the Year 2011!
Thanks a lot for taking part to all of you :-) With this, the curtain closes on our 2nd Monia Awards! I hope you all had a great month crowning the Tops and Flops of the past year of Anime! We are now heading back to normal surveying i´m afraid hehe
As ir worked really well and i didn´t mind the bit of extra work while collecting results, i decided to keep the points system in place instead of going back to the old system. It works well with the amount of survants we currently have and it is also more transparent as you can see every single result per participant if you are interested in it :)
So to wrap this thing up, i leave you as always with the Roll of Honor and i hope to see you again on Sunday when the new survey, Best Old Character, comes to an end. So Long!

Survey 72: Female Character of the Year 2016 (Winner: Megumin)
In Week 3 of our 2nd Anime Awards, we turned our focus to the ladies of last year to see who was the "Best Female Character of 2016!" Who would become the successor of Kujou Sakurako? Let´s find out!
It was a close fight for the podeum which ended in two characters sharing the silver medal at (only) 104pts, so there was no Bronze medal. Since there were very split opinions on the Best Females 2016, a few extra points in addition to the one Full Version win were enough to make the Top 3.
The lucky girls finishing in 2nd were LALATINA DUSTINESS FORD from KonoSuba and REINA KOUSAKA from Hibike Euphonium 2! While it was the first ever podeum appearance for Lalatine, Reina makes the Top 3 at 2nd try after suprisingly missing out last year. Congratulations to both. They get the SILVER medal!
This comes at the expense of Re:Zero´s poor Rem who finished at 103pts, 1 behind Silver and therefore only in 4th place. Both the Silver medalists and Rem were only a Short Version win away from GOLD too.
But the GOLD medal, making it a double victory for KonoSuba, goes to MEGUMIN!!! As the only character getting more than one win and a total of 172pts, she takes the top spot, the Monia Award and the title of "Best Female Character of the Year!"
So KonoSuba dominates this survey! Congratulations to Megumin and to all the fans of this anime for this incredible result ^^
The 2011 Award went to Makise Kurisu! Steins;Gate therefore sweeps the character titles for 2011 after Okabe won Best Male two weeks ago. Makise won 124pts, beating 2nd place Erio Touwa (Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko) by 22pts!
Tomorrow we start into the final week of this years´ Awards. There is only the biggest prize of them all left up for grabs! I hope for a high participation when we search for the Anime of the Year, so tell your (MAL) friends! haha
So i see you again tomorrow hopefully :) Here is the Roll of Honor of this week!

Survey 71: Golden Raspberry 2016 (Winner: Battery)
Hey there lovely people and a very warm welcome to this Years´ Golden Raspberry Award Ceremony! I hope you all are having a lovely weekend ^^
Before we get back to the big prizes that everybody wants, we took a break from those this week to hand out our Golden Raspberry for the Worst Anime of 2016!
BRONZE went to an anime i actually enjoyed quite a lot so i personally was happy it got away especially with @sytemet s crazy survey ;) Had it won here, it would have won the the Award but it got away at the last 2nd and "just" has to deal with the least popular BRONZE medal of the Year. The anime i am talking about iiiiiiiis MAYOIGA which scored 120 points in total.
SILVER at 121pts goes to the horrible Teekyuu spin-off USAKAME! Since it cannot compete with the awesome Teekyuu series whatsoever, the fans of this super-fast paced comedy short series punished it with the SILVER medal. Like Mayoiga, it had a Full survey win and a short survey lost final, but it scored 1 more point due to an additional nomination.
But as the only anime managing to "win" twice this week (even though just in Short Versions) the super-boring try to create a coming-of-age sports anime called BATTERY wins the GOLD medal, the Golden Raspberry and most importantly the title of "Worst Anime of the Year 2016!"
Unfortuently, none of the producers showed up to receive the award in person...as always. I wonder why -.-
2011s bad anime got away with it as three shows tie at the top and nobody scored more than 100pts. So since this is just a side event, we have no winner here. What a shame nobody wanted to share my hate for Pokemon *cries*
So here´s not the Roll of Honor but rather the Roll of Shame from this week. Tomorrow we start the search for Female Character of the Year so i hope you guys will look forward to it as we hand out a very prestigious award as Girls are Money in Anime ;)

This week, we went to the battlefields of anime in order to find the Best Show in a War setting! Starting this week i will be highlighting the shows who managed to win more than 100pts and didn´t make the podeum too as i think it is a good achievement to win 101+ ^^
So knocking on the door to medals but not quite making it were The Vision of Escaflowne (103pts) in 6th place and Texhnolyze in 5th place which is as far as i recall its best position ever. Closest to the podeum but still standing next to it was perhaps a bit suprisingly Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood! At 123pts, it missed out on Bronze by only 8pts!
So let´s get to the medal ranks and BRONZE this week goes to CODE GEASS! Nominated as a whole series, Code Geass won a full version, lost another final and was also the most nominated show of the week. Still, the winner of the Best Mecha survey early this season "only" takes 3rd place this time.
Ten points more were scored by KILL LA KILL! The 3-time survey winner collected a win, two finals and another nominee for a total of 141pts which was good enough for SILVER this week!
But undefendable for its enemies in this survey was CODE GEASS R2! The 2nd Hangyaku no Lelouch season was nominated separately only twice but ended up winning both times, making it the champion at 200pts! So Code Geass could not even be stopped by itself and therefore deservedly takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best War Anime!"
With Gold and Bronze for Code Geass and Silver for Kill la Kill, the those two shows added to their impressive medal collection and they are now tied for the most successful anime of the 2nd survey season at 3 wins each. So the empire definitely struck back in the past seven days!
Congratulations to the winner and everyone of you helping their favorites to win a medal and thanks a lot as always for taking part :-)
On a sidenote i wanna say that even if our participation isn´t what we had back in the amazing days, we have still gotten past 700 participations in this season this week so things could be worse after almost two years now hehe
Next week in our 80th survey we continue with "Best Overweight Character" which i moved forward because i am happy with how the survey turned out and with the planned topic of "Best Disabled Character" my mind went blank a bit and i couldn´t come up with something i was satisfied with so another topic got moved forward. Sorry to those who already prepared nominees if such survants exist haha
Well anyways...i leave you as always with the Roll of Honor and full results to research and maybe fill your PTW list with ^^ See you soon!

Survey 78: Best Teacher (Winner: Eikichi Onizuka)
Anime is home to an awful lot of Senseis so it was time to find out who you guys think the Best Teacher in Anime is this week!
Despite only 14 answers, there were still a lot of different nominations so we ended up with almost 40 teachers on the points list.
Fun fact: We give away mass medals for the first time since the invention of the points system as five Full Version winners ended up with no additional points and therefore the will have to cuddle on the lowest step on the podeum as Genji Kamogawa (Hajime no Ippo), Kouhei Inuzuka (Amaama to Inazuma), Genjuro Kazanari (Symphogear), Obaba Tamura (Ping Pong the Animation) and last but not least the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven (Mozart wa Komoriuta wo Utawanai) share the BRONZE medal lol
Two characters dominated the week clearly. First, our SILVER medalist is KORO-SENSEI from Assassination Classroom! He´s got two wins and two additional nomination and therefore finishes runner-up at 204pts!
Still a somewhat convincing victory goes to the favorite EIKICHI ONIZUKA, the title hero of GTO as a few of you correctly predicted. Favorites have a tendency to finish 2nd in our surveys but not this time. With three total wins (2 full, 1 short) and a lost final he wins no fewer than 290pts, meaning he would not have even needed the short version win to get the GOLD medal. Onizuka deservedly takes the title of "Best Teacher in Anime!"
Congratulations to him and to those helping him on his root to victory :-)
Peaceful times are over for a week as our next survey will be "Best War Anime" so dig up your favorite anime in war settings and participate!
I hope to see you guys again soon and as always i´m finishing this presentation off with the Roll of Honor+Extended Results for the curious people out there ;)

Survey 77: Best Long Running Series (Winner: Hunter x Hunter)
While as expected the so called Big 4 had many nominations, all but one of them really struggled in this survey. The biggest surprise here was probably that One Piece could not even make the Roll of Honor!
Also this survey annoyingly came a week too early for the Monogatari Series who is now at 90 episodes but the new season which was just announced this week will take it over 100 lol
Anyway, let´s finally get to the fight for the podeum. The battle for 3rd place brought, for the first time since the introduction of the points system, a different outcome than the old system would have brought. Despite Yuu Yuu Hakusho getting a Full win and a Short win and DBZ "only" getting two short wins, it still made up the points differential by reaching two additional final as well as becoming the most nominated show of the survey. That´s why at 190pts, DRAGON BALL Z takes the BRONZE medal!
SILVER this week went to the hilarious samurai comedy called GINTAMA! With two full versions won and an additional nomination, it got to 201 points and just missed its 2nd victory of the survey season.
Instead, first place goes to a show which has missed out on a win twice this season so far as it has previously won two silvers and now finally gets the first GOLD medal. HUNTER x HUNTER (2011) was the only show of the survey reaching three total wins and with 264pts takes the title of "Best Long Running Series!".
One Piece despite failing in this survey still has reason to celebrate as our previous survey had to be decided by a voting poll and that poll crowned TRAFALGAR LAW the winner of survey 76: Best Late Entry Character!
Congratulations to the winners as well as to those who helped their picks to win ^^
I hope to see you all again very soon and i leave you with the Roll of Honor from this week. Also, i will shorty post the survey schedule for the month of April :-)

Survey 75: Best Short Series (Winner: Carnival Phantasm)
This week in surveying we crowned our favorite Short Series. It does not need 20+ minute episodes to create amazing stories and great entertainment and the following shows are the best proof as only anime with episode legths of less than 15 minutes were allowed!
Behind the obligatory two shows who broke the more-than-one-win barrier, the fight for 3rd place was close but maybe not as close as it seems. Given that no anime with one Full Version win reached another final, it was obvious that the most nominated show would take the lowest step on the podeum.
This was funny and heartwarming 2-season show I CAN´T UNDERSTAND WHAT MY HUSBAND IS SAYING! It was the most nominated show in the whole survey and won 13 extra points, beating Tonari no Seki-kun by 6 to take the BRONZE!
With a Full- and a Short Version won, another comedy show made the Top 3. SAIKI KUSUO NO Ψ-NAN (TV) took the SILVER medal. The 120-episode long short series with 5 minute episodes aired less than a year ago and became the highest ranked short series on MAL, currently in 54th!
However, it was beaten here in our survey as CARNIVAL PHANTASM with two full wins becomes the only series of the week to reach 200pts so the 12x14 minute long OVA series wins the GOLD medal and most importantly the title of "Best Short Series in Anime!"This also marks the maiden survey win for Studio Lerche.
Congratulations to the winner and to everyone helping it to win points :-)
Thanks a lot for taking part again and i hope to see you in the coming week when we focus on characters who appear out of nowhere so be prepared ;)

Survey 74: Best Old Character (Winner: Jiraiya)
After crowning the best of the best of 2016 for the whole past month, it was time to put some characters into the spotlight who usually don´t get a lot of love. Among all those teenaged main characters, we successfully crowned the Best Old Character this week!
First of all i am happy to announce that no supernaturally old characters made the podeum haha
I was kind of planning to exclude them from the survey but then forgot -.-
As only two older guys managed to get to more than one victory, the fight for 3td place was a mass sprint between all people who won a full version.
Remarkably, only one of them had an additional nomination, getting him to 102pts and climb the lowest step on the podeum. BRONZE went to GENJI KAMOGAWA from Hajime no Ippo! It is the first survey medal for the former Bantamweight and founder of Kamogawa Boxing Gym!
Our SILVER medalist is the only character who is not new on the Top 3. While he picks up his 3rd medal, he still misses out on his first survey victory though as two short wins, a lost full final and two more nominations were not enough. With 164 total points, JOSEPH JOESTAR is our runner-up! JoJo is old enough to compete here in Stadust Crusaders.
But a relatively decisive victory with 241pts goes to JIRAIYA from Naruto! At age 54, he was just four years older than the deadline for eligibility in this survey and he used his superior fitness to win 2 full versions and get to two other finals. He also got an extra nomination just to make sure. This is also just the 4th survey title ever for a "Big 4" series! Jiraiya takes the GOLD medal and title of "Best Old Character!"
And that´s it for this week. Congratulations if your choice went to the podeum this week and i hope to see you guys again for Survey 75 when we try find the "Best Short Series" (by episode length).
So see you guys soon and i leave you as always with the Roll of Honor of the week :-)

Survey 73: Anime of the Year 2016 (Winner: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu)
With a two day delay i can now finally present to you the most anticipated results of the Year maybe as last week you guys crowned the "Anime of the Year!" in the final week of our 2nd Monia Awards!
Before we get to it, i want to apologize for the delay. I got into some unexpected stress the last two days and couldn´t find enough time to properly do this victory ceremony. But hey, if the Oscars can announce the wrong Winner for Best Movie, i can get away with a delayed presentation thread ;)
So let´s see who will become the La La L...oh, i mean the Moonlight of Anime!
A total of 30 Anime received at least one nomination from you guys and to honor the great titles who didn´t quite make the podeum, here are the other Anime which made the Top 10 of last year!
10th: Keijo!!!!!!!! (95pts)
8th: Amanchu and 3-gatsu no Lion (100pts)
7th: Kimi no na wa (101pts)
5th: Tanaka-kun and Hibike!Euphonium 2 (102pts)
Then there was a gap to 4th place and the fight for the medal ranks started!
With the very last result coming in, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Sukufuku wo! collected its 2nd short version win and jumped from 12th place all the way to 3rd place, winning the BRONZE medal at 151pts! KONOSUBA stole away the podeum finish from poor Jojo, who at 140pts had to settle for 4th with Diamond is Unbreakable. What a late, dramatic turn of events right at the finish line!
KonoSuba is also the most successful anime of the Award Surveys as it finishes with 1 Gold, 2 Silvers and 1 Bronze! So it won more medals than there were (positive) surveys, an impressive performance!
More than a full version win away from Konosuba were the Top 2 who were in a league of their own to fight it out for the overall win! In the end, it was all about the survants´decisions in the final Step 4, because...
...MOB PSYCHO 100 at 262 points was the most nominated anime of them all and also the one that got to most finals with 5. It won (only) two of them and lost three, one too few to win this survey! So Mob Psycho, which produced the Award Winner for Best Male, has to settle for a very good SILVER MEDAL!
It was beaten by the most opportunistic performance. Our champion has only three nominations, but managed to miraculously win all three of those to collect exactly 300pts! Ladies and Gentleman! Your "Anime of the Year 2016" and therefore Gold Medalist and Monia Award Winner iiiiiiiiiis SHOUWA GENROKU RAKUGO SHINJUU!!!
So just like in the Academy Awards, we also had a surprising little twist right at the end as the previous few weeks did not really influence the outcome (very similar to last year where One Punch Man also finished 2nd as the favorite).
So congratulations to Shouwa and everyone who helped it become the successor of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku which won twelve months ago!
In the 2011 version, the trend of the favorites finishing in 2nd continues as Steins;Gate which produced both the Male- and Female Character of the Year was unexpectedly (and much to my own joy haha) defeated by a crazy rollercoaster ride called MAWARU PENGUINDRUM which steals the title for Anime of the Year 2011!
Thanks a lot for taking part to all of you :-) With this, the curtain closes on our 2nd Monia Awards! I hope you all had a great month crowning the Tops and Flops of the past year of Anime! We are now heading back to normal surveying i´m afraid hehe
As ir worked really well and i didn´t mind the bit of extra work while collecting results, i decided to keep the points system in place instead of going back to the old system. It works well with the amount of survants we currently have and it is also more transparent as you can see every single result per participant if you are interested in it :)
So to wrap this thing up, i leave you as always with the Roll of Honor and i hope to see you again on Sunday when the new survey, Best Old Character, comes to an end. So Long!

Survey 72: Female Character of the Year 2016 (Winner: Megumin)
In Week 3 of our 2nd Anime Awards, we turned our focus to the ladies of last year to see who was the "Best Female Character of 2016!" Who would become the successor of Kujou Sakurako? Let´s find out!
It was a close fight for the podeum which ended in two characters sharing the silver medal at (only) 104pts, so there was no Bronze medal. Since there were very split opinions on the Best Females 2016, a few extra points in addition to the one Full Version win were enough to make the Top 3.
The lucky girls finishing in 2nd were LALATINA DUSTINESS FORD from KonoSuba and REINA KOUSAKA from Hibike Euphonium 2! While it was the first ever podeum appearance for Lalatine, Reina makes the Top 3 at 2nd try after suprisingly missing out last year. Congratulations to both. They get the SILVER medal!
This comes at the expense of Re:Zero´s poor Rem who finished at 103pts, 1 behind Silver and therefore only in 4th place. Both the Silver medalists and Rem were only a Short Version win away from GOLD too.
But the GOLD medal, making it a double victory for KonoSuba, goes to MEGUMIN!!! As the only character getting more than one win and a total of 172pts, she takes the top spot, the Monia Award and the title of "Best Female Character of the Year!"
So KonoSuba dominates this survey! Congratulations to Megumin and to all the fans of this anime for this incredible result ^^
The 2011 Award went to Makise Kurisu! Steins;Gate therefore sweeps the character titles for 2011 after Okabe won Best Male two weeks ago. Makise won 124pts, beating 2nd place Erio Touwa (Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko) by 22pts!
Tomorrow we start into the final week of this years´ Awards. There is only the biggest prize of them all left up for grabs! I hope for a high participation when we search for the Anime of the Year, so tell your (MAL) friends! haha
So i see you again tomorrow hopefully :) Here is the Roll of Honor of this week!

Survey 71: Golden Raspberry 2016 (Winner: Battery)
Hey there lovely people and a very warm welcome to this Years´ Golden Raspberry Award Ceremony! I hope you all are having a lovely weekend ^^
Before we get back to the big prizes that everybody wants, we took a break from those this week to hand out our Golden Raspberry for the Worst Anime of 2016!
BRONZE went to an anime i actually enjoyed quite a lot so i personally was happy it got away especially with @sytemet s crazy survey ;) Had it won here, it would have won the the Award but it got away at the last 2nd and "just" has to deal with the least popular BRONZE medal of the Year. The anime i am talking about iiiiiiiis MAYOIGA which scored 120 points in total.
SILVER at 121pts goes to the horrible Teekyuu spin-off USAKAME! Since it cannot compete with the awesome Teekyuu series whatsoever, the fans of this super-fast paced comedy short series punished it with the SILVER medal. Like Mayoiga, it had a Full survey win and a short survey lost final, but it scored 1 more point due to an additional nomination.
But as the only anime managing to "win" twice this week (even though just in Short Versions) the super-boring try to create a coming-of-age sports anime called BATTERY wins the GOLD medal, the Golden Raspberry and most importantly the title of "Worst Anime of the Year 2016!"
Unfortuently, none of the producers showed up to receive the award in person...as always. I wonder why -.-
2011s bad anime got away with it as three shows tie at the top and nobody scored more than 100pts. So since this is just a side event, we have no winner here. What a shame nobody wanted to share my hate for Pokemon *cries*
So here´s not the Roll of Honor but rather the Roll of Shame from this week. Tomorrow we start the search for Female Character of the Year so i hope you guys will look forward to it as we hand out a very prestigious award as Girls are Money in Anime ;)
