The results for the Best Anime of the Spring 2023 anime season are in: over 36 thousand anime fans voted for their favorites in hopes of them winning the prestigious titles.
This time around we had 13 weekly polls. The final poll results accounted for 55% of the weight of the score ranking, with the remaining 45% accounted for by weekly poll results. The 45 percent weight is distributed over a twelve-week period, with the results combined to create the list. This is a weighted ranking, and we chose this method to ensure a more balanced final result.
We’ve taken steps to reduce spam and data duplication to maintain data integrity by logging each user’s IP address and allowing only one vote per option per IP address per poll. Let’s take a look at the top ten:
Oshi no Ko won the hearts of many, but The Dangers in My Heart managed to catch up to it in spite of starting off on the weaker end. Hell’s Paradise, in spite of the clunky animation and some production issues, managed to place third. Here are the full results:
