I guess it's a little late to be saying this, but do you think it might make sense to delay this a bit so that recency bias doesn't hit quite as hard? I'm not too worried about it for manga, but the way anime gets published makes it really easy to just say "Dandadan" without even thinking back to other excellent shows like Bravern that aired earlier this year.
Edit:
Not a huge deal but I also think it would make sense to have separate OP and ED categories.
Recency bias is tough. Even if we held off on this until a month or two into 2025, the Fall shows will still be more recent in the mind than Winter. I do appreciate this concern though. I intend on keeping this in mind when sorting through nominations to make sure that it isn't just all Fall stuff that makes the final list.
As for OP/ED being separate, I actually had it that way originally, but opted to include a couple extra genre categories and collapse them together to keep the total number of categories a bit manageable. Depending on how things go this year and feedback, I am open to splitting them for next year.
While we are at it, what about insert songs? Some of the best songs are not OP or ED, but the insert song e.g. Zenzenzense from Your Name
I had one insert song I wanted to nominate and I put it into the best soundtrack category.
OST would probably be the place for insert songs since they are a one-off thing most of the time.
