By: Dylan Hysen

 

The results are in for our 2020 OVA-ies TV Animation Awards! After 658 votes cast, the winners in five categories have been determined.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts had the biggest win of the night for Best Show while She-Ra and the Princesses of Power won Best Episode for “Save the Cat” and Infinity Train won Best Main Character for Lake. The Owl House took home two awards for Best New Show and Best Supporting Character for Amity.

How the results were calculated: final placement was determined by an averaging of the percentages of the Open Vote and the Internal Vote of our patrons and staff. The intent of this is to balance the popularity contest aspect of the Open Vote with more of an expert opinion from our internal community.
