AniTAY’s Top Anime of 2023
Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope everyone has had a healthy and safe year- it was a busy year for many of us here at AniTAY. Today, I am thrilled to be sharing the results of our community vote for Top Anime of 2023. Our rules used to be rather thorough, however, we changed things this year to basically fit “if it was legally available for streaming (Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Netflix, Disney+ etc.) and/or was in theaters, it is fair game.” Voters sent in their top ten anime for the year, and we tallied points based off of where those rankings were (first place was worth ten points, second worth nine, etc.). Fifteen of our community members sent in votes with sixty-seven anime represented.
The following is the results of our vote- let us know what you think! Did your favorites make the cut? Let us know!
First place votes will be indicated by parentheses with the number of votes bolded (1).
