Overview
Events
In the context of this wiki, r/anime organizes year-round popularity contests which are hosted by its users, and conducted through the AnimeBracket website. They are as follows:
Major Character Contests:
- Best Girl - Held every June. This is r/anime's first, biggest, and saltiest event.
- Best Guy - Males only. Held during the Winter months (February-March).
- Best Character - Mixed-gender contest. Held during the Fall months (October-December).
Other Events:
- Seasonal Salt - A series of contests meant to decide the "best girl" of each anime season. Started in Summer 2017. From 2018 onwards, a Best Girl of [Year] tournament will be contested between each season's elite eight.
- Best Couples / Ships - Also known as Salty Sea, this is the resident shipping tournament.
- Best OP - Best opening song.
- Best ED - Best ending song.
Special Events:
- Best of the Best - r/anime's version of Tournament of Champions. The 1st edition involved all semi-finalists of previous major character contests at the time, while the 2nd edition was restricted to champions only.
- Favorite Anime - Self-explanatory.
- 12-Hour Best Girl - Host messed up the final match, so it's held in Strawpoll instead.
- 24-Hour Best Girl - Celebration of r/anime's 1,000,000 subscribers in May 2019.
- 24-Hour Worst (?) Girl - The name switched from "Best" to "Worst" as celebration of 2020 April Fools event.

- Additional restrictions may be present depending on the contest.
Eliminations
- All nominees are split into multiple groups depending on number
- Each group lasts 1 day
- Approval voting format
- Contestants will advance to the main bracket based on adjusted votes --- the number of votes relative to the amount of voters who participated in the contestant's respective round.
Main Bracket
- Single-elimination bracket
- Each round may be split into 2 or 4 groups
- Voting lasts 1 day
