Yeah not going to lie the private message thing was pretty brutal. Filling out the template on mobile takes a good amount of effort. I also think ranked choice may discourage some from voting since people may not know each of the choices very well.

Thanks for hosting again this year and trying things out though.

    Yeah...it won't be private messages next year for sure. Lesson learned!

    my favorite system for these kinds of votes is making 1 comment for each anime, and letting people upvote/downvote them (or only count the upvotes?)

    maybe I need to start watching more anime so I can vote next time lol (and then I probably end up voting for Frieren anyways lol but at least it'd be fair!)

    Yeah I wondered about that too. I left out the ones I didn't watch from my voting list, but that feels a little unfair
