Best Cast

Honourable Mention: Steins;Gate, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Durarara!!

Yeah, so we got votes for large casts of interwining characters with smaller bright moments and smaller more compact crews which made pushes to make each character stand out while having some occasional high impact appearances from more minor characters. There wasn't too much of a trend here.

3rd Place: A Place Further than the Universe

Notable Characters: Tamaki Mari, Kobuchizawa Shirase, Miyake Hinata & Shiraishi Yuzuki

There are a lot of Monogatari episodes and each arc is really short, but the featured characters almost always shine through when the spotlights on them. This is one of the main strengths of the show, they managed to make the characters feel like they matter and theyre all memorable. Having an OP sung by the characters with a starring role for each arc also makes them look more important.

But this also means that for a while each cast member ascends to the status of main character. Since the stories being told are so good, youll naturally be associating each of them with an enjoyable song + story.
For a number of these characters, youll get one arc featuring the problem of the week, but will then have a later arc which shows how far theyve progressed since resolving their initial issue. So it keeps them fresh in the mind and makes the waifu rankings an ever fluctuating thing as everyone gets a bump post-storyline of the day.

For the other competing series, A Place Further than the Universe was a hugely popular series last year that won almost everything it could. The four main girls developed a strong bond with each other as they supported each other and overcame their vulnerabilities to achieve their goals. It started off looking like any old 4 cute girls doing cute things type of show, but ended up giving you more depth to the cast.

But our runner up KonoSuba aint about giving you big emotional arcs or layers of depth, sure there might be a moment or two here or there. What we get from KonoSuba is a fuckton of antics and a rapid fire number of jokes and punchlines coming mostly from our 4 main leads. Each of them complete idiots and together you just get a deluge of stupidity as they always find ways to make their situation worse. But they do so in such an entertaining way, that youre looking forward to how theyll fuck up the next task.
