AnimeReactor Awards 2011

Every year, selected members from the AnimeReactor (ARC) forum community come together to pick what they think were the best anime they've seen in the previous year, and organise them into roughly two dozen award categories. Hundreds of titles are considered by the jury before the nominees are finalised and revealed to the public in the ARC forums, after which forum members can freely cast their votes on the polls associated with each award category for the anime they feel should win. The votes are counted a few weeks later and the anime with the highest number of votes in each category becomes the winner. The ARC Awards may be unofficial, but it gives us a good idea which shows are popular with anime fans outside of Japan.
