Another season has come and gone — it is time to see which of our beloved favorite characters in the Winter 2024 anime season won in Anime Corner’s “Best Supporting Characters” poll.
You see, supporting characters are just as important as the main characters! Without them, the plot of the show can’t move forward. Whether it is the best friend, the comic relief, another love interest (gasp), mentors, or even the scheming antagonists — they make our favorite shows more entertaining. That said, let’s take a dive into which characters the anime fans of Anime Corner voted for!
The adorable Kana Ichikawa from The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 (Bokuyaba) takes the top spot! It’s just as expected from the anime that took a sweeping back-to-back win throughout Anime Corner’s weekly episode rankings. Following in second place is the powerful elven mage Serie from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, while in third place is the fashionable Moeko Sekine, giving yet another win for the Bokuyaba anime.

The kind and charismatic Stark from Frieren wins the award of the Best Male Supporting Character, just like last season. Very precious indeed!
