Welcome to the results of the Second Annual WordPress Anime Awards! That’s right my pandas…you voted and the winners are in! I would like to thank everyone who voted and the judges who participated this year. Without all of you this project wouldn’t be where it is today. So…THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ❤
I would like to make note that we did have a smaller turn out for voting this year due to some minor website issues. We fixed the problem about half way through the voting period but I apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused for you guys. I know the slow loading web page did deter people from voting this year and I can promise you guys this will not happen for 2020. I am hopeful for this years website project! With that all out of the way let’s get to the results! I know some of you will be surprised by some of these winners. I know I was 😀

And that’s all she wrote folks! What do you guys think about this years winners? Do you agree or disagree with the nominations chosen? Some of my nominations won and I am quite pleased to see other people agreed with my picks. I hope next year we will have an even bigger voting turn out. Thank you again to everyone for helping with this project. I seriously can’t thank you all enough! If you are interested in becoming a judge in the 2020 WordPress Anime Awards be sure to send me a DM on Twitter at paperpandabears so I can add you to our judges list! That is going to do it for me this lovely evening. I need to get my thoughts in order for my upcoming birthday special which will be out on Thursday. Make sure to keep you eyes peeled for that post. Remember to always stay kawaii and cuddly my pandas! MUAH! XOXO

I’m glad to see Yamiyo by Eve won best ending! I’ve been over obsessed with Eve and that artist for too long…

I was actually surprised by this win! I thought more people would like the first ending song more than the second. Could be the combination of the visuals with the song. It was also great none the less!

Hmm…I thought I said something about how the website was loading slow (I presume because of all the GIFs and videos) and it was impossible to access the videos without using right click -> Open in new tab, but maybe I never remembered to stop by and say so. So…there you go. My criticism, even if it’s late.
…then again, I did discover Yamiyo from these Awards, so it wasn’t a bad experience in the end.

That’s when we changed the site about half way through. We new the gifs were causing loading problems for some people. I didn’t have any issues on my end when I accessed it on my phone but if you had an older model phone stuff like that wouldn’t load. I have a plan for this year’s awards so we wont have these issues again!
