The Tokyo Anime Award Festival is scheduled to be held in Ikebukuro, Tokyo between March 7 and 10. The event will also present additional entries from around the world for its Feature Animation Competition and Short Animation Competition categories. The former category includes 34 entries from 26 countries, while 997 entries from 70 countries were submitted for the latter. TAAF 2025 Preliminary Selection Committee is selecting 30 of these entries (four for Feature Animation and 29 for Short Animation) to qualify for the Grand Prize and the Award of Excellence in their respective categories, with each category awarding it to two titles.

At least they let the fans vote first before the judges make the final vote. Unlike Crunchyroll!

Anime of the Year consists of three categories: Best Film, Individual Award, and Anime Fan Award. Among works previously released or broadcast in Japan for commercial purposes,
we draw up a list of “Top 100 Favorites” based on fan votes. From the list, winners of Best Film and Individual Award are voted for by a wide range of industry professionals including first-rate producers and creators. In addition, Anime Fan Award is given to the work that receives the highest number of public votes via X.

I would love to see the list and scores for all shows involved.
