ANIHK 編輯部Hey all anime experts! Remember the Anime Corner 2024 Annual Anime Awards voting that caused a huge stir at the end of last year? That's right! The results are finally out! I've been waiting so long the flowers have wilted, I thought the officials were secretly hiding the results to keep as a family heirloom! (Hey~)
I heard this voting attracted a total of over fifty thousand people to participate, wow! Everyone's love for anime is really intense! And the competition this time was explosively fierce, the top spots were like gods battling, fighting to the very last moment!
Here's the main point! Who managed to snatch the throne as the annual champion?
Ta-da! The answer is revealed! It's actually "The Dangers in My Heart" Season 2!!! (Throws flowers + sets off firecrackers)
"Frieren" lost?! That's right! You all saw correctly! That phenomenal masterpiece "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" was only 0.18% away from taking the top spot! Wow, that gap is literally a hair's breadth !
Check out the Annual Anime TOP 10 list at a glance (guaranteed to make you exclaim in surprise):
| Rank | Title | Vote Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | "The Dangers in My Heart" Season 2 | 10.55% |
| 2nd | "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" | 10.37% |
| 3rd | "Too Many Losing Heroines!" | 8.36% |

| 9th | "Date A Live V" | 4.44% |
| 10th | "Ragna Crimson" | 4.39% |
After looking at the list, I have to say a few fair words:
-
"The Dangers in My Heart" S2 winning first place is truly well-deserved! The pinnacle of dog-food (fluff/romance) anime! The CP of Anna Yamada and Kyotaro Ichikawa is just too good! The sweetness level in the second season went straight through the roof, it made my maiden heart burst! And the plot depth increased a lot too, it's not just about pure sugar, the character portrayals are more detailed, highly recommended!
-
"Frieren" may have lost but it's still glorious! Lady Frieren is forever god-tier! Even though it was just a tiny bit away from champion, "Frieren"'s influence really speaks for itself! The visuals are breathtakingly beautiful, the story is heartwarming with a touch of gentle sadness, the aftertaste is super strong! If you haven't seen it, hurry up and catch up?!
-
"Too Many Losing Heroines!" is actually the Best New Anime of the Year?! This result is a bit of a pleasant surprise! Although I also think "Losing Heroines" is quite fun, the pacing of the romantic comedy is handled well, all the various losing heroines are super cute (My waifu!), but being able to defeat so many strong competitors to get Best New Anime, it's really a dark horse ! It seems everyone really likes this kind of light and funny romantic comedy!
-
The other anime on the list are also super awesome! "My Stepmother's Daughter Is My Ex", "The Apothecary Diaries", "Wind Breaker", "Dandadan", "Oshi no Ko" S2, "Date A Live V", "Ragna Crimson"... each one is a top choice of its time, each with its own charm! All I can say is that the anime of 2024 were just too godly, my choice paralysis is acting up!
In summary, this Anime Corner Annual Anime Awards was really super exciting! It proves that even sequel anime can reach new heights again, and we also saw the limitless potential of new anime! All I can say is the anime world is just too great! There are always amazing works to watch! (Wallet-kun says: ...)
