For moment I'll mention the series, but keep the spoiler tagged.

For the voting, no need to beat around the bush, since it's all sent to me directly.

I'm gonna relax the rule on characters a bit, it doesn't have to be new characters only, but they can only be judged by what they did in this year's shows and not past accomplishments.

Ex: Bakugo wasn't anything special in MHA S1, but in S2 his character was a lot better.

In the past the flat rule was an anime had to begin airing in same year to be eligible.

If it's a 6/6 or 12/12 split, then I'll allow the show to be nommed as half a series isn't enough to be judged on.

For most anticipated, you can check out the MAL list

Winter/Spring 2019 and Later are eligible for this one.

Looking at other shows,

Index was a bummer, I usually love their OPs, this one I still liked, but nowhere near as much.

of the two SAO shows, I did enjoy the main series OP more.

Violet Evergarden's OP was also solid

https://files.catbox.moe/gxpj7c.webm

Though I think that's a show I'm more likely to back for visuals.

B8's anime awards are back!

Thanks to @tazzyboyishere for running the show last year, he did a great job and put a few of his own touches on the project.

Though this year I'm back as host and looking forward to finding out what B8Anime picks as this year's finest.

Throughout this topic, users can promote what they think deserves to do well in the award categories, though please do refrain from posting your ballot until the big reveal.


General Rules:

- PM your ballot either on GameFaqs or via Discord
- You can change your ballot up to Saturday 29th December 19:00 EST
- For ballots that aren't fully filled, the lowest points will not be assigned
- In the event of a tie, the anime that was on the most number of ballots wins, if this is equal, then the show with the highest number of maximum points wins.
- To be eligible, an anime must have either started airing in 2018, or had the majority of its season's episodes broadcast in 2018.

We'll have two set of categories.

Best Character Female

Man, you guys really don't want a waifu award huh

It kept getting votes whenever I put it in (more than music/art), but first thing tazzy did was remove it and there seemed to be agreement that it was for the best.

Isn't it one is 2H and the other is 1H?

Oh cool, I actually do have 2 copies of CG Nichol.

That should be enough for a bit.

Cloud and Sephiroth aside, what are the big time units that still need to have their 7 star forms released?

Goblin Slayer to win best Drama and Best Comedy.

Now time to rig thr voting in favour of Saiki K.

Now breeze through the torture trio.

Not that far off Kunshira's STMR which gives 15% resist to a bunch of elements.

But I have a feeling I'll just GLEX UoC whichever of the 5 stars I get from a hypothetical upcoming Xmas banner.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

It all depends on the banner we get, Halloween units got a dedicated banner, so if XMas get their own banner I'll pull a bit.

After KH, I've got nothing......so maybe there might be some Xenogears leftover?

But by then we're in Auron/Akstar land :P

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Look I'm still stuck im that desert town near the start of the game.

Assuming Christmas throws a mini Christine banner I'm gonna be saving for Sora.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

I have a lot of debuffers and am low on magic monsters though.

Will see what kind of 7 star kit she comes with first I guess.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Very strongly considering Christine for Glex, not sure what other holiday units are better.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Kunshira 7 star, hmmm

Not sure how she fits into my team, but I suppose I now have to stick one of Frys nature loving spellblade on her.

Good week to improve my weapons for Fry and Omega Weapon XIII

The idol wrestling show was unironically the most fun wrestling series I've seen in the past few years.

Had an arc, went from point a to b, wrapped up the plot, had a fun post series special and that was that.

Historically the day of WK barely generates 15 posts in APWT though.

Well KUSHIDA doesn't know where the hardcam is I suppose.

Is this really expected to be KUSHIDA's final WK?

Hmm, first two bonus fights on the story are EZ, but I'm struggling with the Intangir thingy.

whoa, the free GLEX UoC includes limited units too

hmm

This GLEX ticket has no time limit to it?

Cmon Sora.

Oh wait now I see the list of units. Malphasie or one of the XMas units could be so good to have.

Yooka-Laylee took him out

Hat in Time decided to keep him

Doesn't feel like doing one thing or the other made much difference for the games themselves.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Don't particularly like him, but wouldn't have removed him from a video game either.

Was him not being removed from Hat in Time that big a deal in the end?

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

This upcoming Raid gives out what, 3k Lapis?

If Christmas has an outrageously good banner I'll dip into the KH fund but hopefully it won't come to that.

I like how it's always the Brave Exvius topic that devolves into discussion about other mobile games.

its a good game for perverts

I already have F/GO and Azur Lane if I really want that.

F/GO and Kancolle provide all the doujins we'll ever need.

What's the hype here?

It doesn't look all that different from other big games, who is behind this that it's become so big?

Didn't Kingdom start to do a lot bigger numbers after a TV special aired?

FGO is super grindy if you want more than what the event offers, which is never necessary for clearing hard content.

Lopen plays pretty casually and I bet he's close to clearing the shop of any essentials.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Nominations should start around the 15th or 16th.

Goblin Slayer and Attack on Titan S3 to sweep all the awards.
