Best of /r/anime: 2025 edition - Index

Hello /r/anime! Happy new year! As we start 2026, it is once again time for us to celebrate the best moments of last year with Best of /r/anime 2025!

**Categories, schedule, and awards**

The nominations and votes (upvotes) will be open from **January 03 to 08**, apologies for moving this a bit earlier than I previously noted in the meta thread. On each scheduled day at 12:00pm Eastern, a new category will be opened for nominations and voting. This year, there are again 6 categories to nominate and vote for. They are:

- [03 January - Best comment](https://redd.it/) - 5 awards
- [04 January - Most enjoyable rewatch](https://redd.it/) - 5 awards
- [05 January - Most valuable contributor](https://redd.it/) - 5 awards
- [06 January - Best original content](https://redd.it/) - 5 awards
- [07 January - Best original essay](https://redd.it/) - 3 awards
- [08 January - Best original review](https://redd.it/) - 3 awards

The winners for each category will receive a custom flair of their choosing (while abiding by subreddit rules), and our eternal gratitude and appreciation for their contributions. If winners are a repeat winner from previous years, all custom flairs will be available for choosing on https://flair.r-anime.moe/ .

**Useful links:**

- [This year's nominations wiki is still a work in progress.](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/bestof2025)

This post will act as the index thread for the event, and links to the nomination posts will also be added here once they go live. If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments.

Take some time over the next following days to look back at [your saved](https://www.reddit.com/user/me/saved/) favorite /r/anime moments of 2025, then get ready to nominate those when voting starts!

Have fun and nominate responsibly.

I was planning to nominate your Prison School Rewatch! (well, unless someone does it first).

(If it's the comment I think it is, it's gonna be so weird without context hah)

(Not that it wasn't weird with the context)

Are the nominations only open for one day in each category, or can we submit nominations for any category before the Jan 8 deadline?

mysterybiscuitsoyeah2026-01-07 00:16

you can submit nominations for any category until the Jan 11 voting/nominarion cutoff (I lengthened this from the 8th, in alignment with what we've usually done in the past).

i should've been more clear in the announcement, and ill edit this in. apologies!

Heda-of-Aincrad2026-01-07 02:05

Thanks! I'm just glad I didn't miss it. Definitely going to keep a running list of nominations for next year so I won't be trying to find the post I'm looking for at the last minute again.
