Winners of the AniBloggers Choice Anime Awards 2011 1

Over the last week weeks, The Otaku’s Study alongside many other anime blogs and websites have been taking part in what will hopefully be the annual AniBloggers Choice Anime Awards, where we sifted through the many series that have aired in Japan this year and chose our favourites to eventually crown the overall victor. Before I go any further I would like to thank Kiddtic from Kidd’s Anime Blog – who has tirelessly put the effort into making this happen and I eagerly look forward to working with him again on future projects. To quickly recap, here are the series that fell into my Top 12!

12. Kamisama no Memo-Chou
11. GOSICK
10. Nichijou
9. Tiger & Bunny
8. Mawaru PenguinDrum
7. Madoka Magica
6. Hourou Musuko (Wandering Son)
5. C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
4. Hoshi o Ou Kodomo (Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below)
3. Ikoku Meiro no Croisee (Croisee in a Foreign Labyrinth)
2. Persona 4: The Animation
1. Usagi Drop

However, these are just my opinions, and as you will no doubt see they differ considerably from the general consensus of the 40 anime bloggers that took part in the event. There were a total of three awards for this event: The “Most Underrated” which went to the series that managed to get enough votes to not be in the pile of mediocrity but also not high enough to make the top list – therefore the series that people either really loved or just plain ignored. The second was the”American Licencor” award which went to the company with the best releases in the consensus’ opinion, and finally the Top Anime of 2011 which is self explanatory.

and with that, it brings 2011 and my articles on anime to a close. Congratulations to all the titles that won and if anything… this event has shown that there is a variety of different preferences in anime among the blogosphere and if you are wanting to find out about any series… you are almost guaranteed to be seeing articles on it. For more information about the variety of responses or anyone who would like to hassle Kiddtic for prizes, celebratory champagne or to see detailed information on every series recieving a reward – check out Kiddtic’s post HERE.

  1. Definitely an interesting selection – I can see arguments for and against Madoka being the number one choice.   Sadly, I got into blogging too late in the year to consider myself worthy to participate in the voting but next year I hope to be a full participant.  Happy New Year!
