The votes are in, the polls are closed, and we have a champion for our 2024 tournament!
But before we crown our latest AniMarch Madness winner, we want to thank all of you who stayed with us all month long, voted in the rounds, and commented, liked, and spread the word! This tournament is always more fun when the readers join in.
And now, for the winner!

The 2024 AniMarch Madness champion is…Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End!
Yes, the newcomer, participating for the first time, becomes the first anime to win in its initial entry since the first year of the tournament. And it did it quite easily! Apparently riding the wave of momentum from all the lovely words said about it by the fandom as it reached its finale and completed its run, Frieren absolutely dominated most of its round. The final against Spy x Family, last year’s champ and perhaps a presumptive favorite to win again this year, wasn’t close either. Frieren received 64.9% of the vote to SxF‘s 35.1%.
Despite an easy win for Frieren, the tournament itself was exciting, marked by more anime participants than ever before and all-time record participation in several of our platforms, like Discord and Mastodon.
As we continue perfect this tourney and expand it, we hope you’ll join us again next year and anticipate until then.
And until 2025, this is us signing off from the championship! Congratulations, Frieren, and see you next March!
