POWA At Evolve 2025 – Best Anime for a Video Game results

Thank you to every single person who came by POWA’s table at Evolve this year.

As is tradition, POWA asks the Perth public one very simple question; which of these things is the best? Perth hasn’t disappointed us so far with the answer, and continued to not do so this year.

This year the question was “Which of these very carefully selected games has the best anime?” After much humming-and-hawing from everyone who came by (We are sure), the coins were counted, and the results tallied.

Well, with a citation. With Pokémon in the running, it shouldn’t have been too much surprise to see it absolutely dominate the vote – so, really, the question was answered by day 1. To keep the overall vote more interesting, Pokémon was nominated as the clear winner… and promptly removed from the running on day 2. In spite of this fact, it still managed to rank very well overall, which just goes to show the sheer Quality of Pokémon as a franchise.

In any case, here are the tallied results of every show/game from our vote!

#1: Ace Attorney, with 69 votes
#2: Pokémon, with 63 votes
#3: UmaMusume: Pretty Derby, with 51 votes
#4: Danganronpa, with 49 votes
#5: Persona 5: The Animation, with 44 votes
#6: Clannad, with 43 votes
#7: Cyberpunk Edgerunners, with 34 votes
#8: Disgaea, with 16 votes
#9: Arknights: Prelude to Dawn, with 10 votes
#10: Valkyria Chronicles, with 9 votes
#11: Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout, with 8 votes
#12: Blazblue: Alter Memory, with 7 votes

The results of this poll will be enshrined, forever, on our polls page here, alongside all of POWA’s previous character votes.

Finally, a note regarding our upcoming events; POWA is on break over the Fathers Day weekend, but we will be screening our regular lineup at our regular location and times starting on Sunday, the 14th of September.

We hope to see you there!

Upcoming POWA film outing: “Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye”!

The sequel season to the hit anime “Dan Da Dan” comes out next season – and as is the fashion these days, a supercut preview of the first few episodes (Specifically, the first three) is on its way to Australian cinemas, courtesy of our friends at SugoiCo!

From June 6th the film will be appearing in cinemas, and POWA needs the community to pick a time and place for our outing! SugoiCo is even being really really good friends of POWA and is offering us a couple of Admit 2 passes for our community to use!

If you are intested in having a say on what time and place we do pick, there is currently a poll available on our Facebook group. Head there and have a vote, why dont you?

“DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. In this new arc, Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot springs town home rented by Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, with the goal to solve the mystery surrounding his family. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there’s more lurking under the surface of the town than they could possibly have imagined.”
