Shitty anime, "Omoshire Onna" (funny woman), sahatsu... The 20 finalists for the annual "18th Otaku Willow Grand Prize" have been selected!

The finalists have been announced from the annual "18th Annual You Choose Otaku Willow Award" by Interlink.

Interlink is an Internet service provider offering special (subtle) services for advanced users (not many people use them). The total number of entries to the willow contest "The 18th Otaku Kayanagi Grand Prix: Your Choice" reached 7,174, and 20 outstanding entries with the full range of otaku were selected as the finalists.

The ranking of the willow entries was determined by the votes of otaku and non-otaku alike. The "Neshin Prize (Grand Prix)" and other prizes are scheduled to be announced on Friday, March 10.

The number of votes and the rankings can be checked in real time in the "Real Time Counting" section. Voters will be entered into a drawing to win a 100,000 yen Otaku Benefit and other prizes, so be sure to participate.
