Makeine and Apocalypse Hotel winning Best Picture. Awesome stuff.

If you haven't watched Makeine, please do so now. It's one of the best-executed and most fun rom-coms in ages. I assume even more people haven't watched Apocalypse Hotel, so please go watch that as well. It offers an introspective viewing experience that I don't think any other anime replicates.

Heck yeah Makeine, take the win! Well deserved. If you haven't watched it yet, take this as a sign to do so. It's an incredible series!

Best Mechanical/Prop Design~

Is there even a choice? XD

Well, mecha is extremely hard to make nowadays. :(

Looking forward to 2026 poll! :)
Wonder if there will be a Hathaway Flash sweep as many of the voters are Gundam fans. :)

Not a bad list at all, got to watch Medalist and Apocalypse Hotel before their 2nd seasons start, and got to catch up on GQuuuuX...

Well deserved award for A-1 too, they've been on some run!

GCucks being so popular among the readers of a magazine named "Newtype" is pretty on-brand.
