Half_Bl00d (list)
A fun and animated experience! This is one of the most unique layouts I've ever seen and feels something right out of an anime or video game. It's the kind of design I want to see ppl do the most: unique, interactive, and imaginative!
Check it out here; and to see all features, view in Firefox browser!

Hahaido (list)
For years, the "horizontally scrolling list" was talked about and even hypothetical codes were thrown out but a final layout for this concept was never created until Hahaido pulled it off! In addition to having this breakthrough effect its an amazing layout with unique fun menus, a cool way to look at stats and a beautiful pink color scheme! Get it here:

SylakentH said: Honestly, this was the first layout I’ve ever seen that defies the logic “layouts need to be scrolled horizontally”. Hahaido’s layout opens new dimensions in list designing (I didn’t know that this was possible before). His excellent choice in imagery and fonts shows that he’s an experienced designer.
Lirina (list)
Wow Lirina's Ginga e kickoff! list is a great list to close out 2012! It has great some of the best color and imagery I've ever seen on a list! The background images have a translucent quality that really emphasize the background. It captures a theme of a long day of practice ending. Plus its fun to use and come back to and she updated it later in 2013.
In addition, Lirina's list design won a Favorite Design award in our 2013 Winter/Spring List design contest, and the Color category among other placements and votes. This design along with her anime list entry propelled Lirina to Best Overall Designer of the 2013 Winter Spring Season!
SylakentH said: Lovely layout design by Lirina. The great amount of images and choice of color schemes makes your stay at her animelist even more enjoyable!

Hahaido (list)
Hahaido made this design for AlisaDark, and (I know I say this a lot but its always true) its one of the best designs I seen this year, maybe best overall. Visit the page to see the incredible animation in full clarity. He crafted it frame by frame! Get it here:

Shishio-kun (anime list)
This was a list I made from scratch but it came out really unique! Its meant to copy a DVD/manga rack at a store, with this list you put yout cursor on a cover and you can read the text title, info, score, and even mini-review for the anime or manga!
U531355 (anime list)
Not many people get two spots in the Hall of Fame, but this list from U5 is one of the best we've ever seen! With extensive coding its functional, sleek, yet also fun to look at. Its available here:

Veriti (anime list)
So far this is the best layout to come around in 2012 and already one of the best I've seen. Very practical, it uses a lot of CSS3 magic and improved on everything the site had! You can get it from here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=412713

Ushioo (anime list)
Amazing, this list looks like a game menu! It has an opening page then it moves into a great easy to use list!

Erlbaum (anime list)
This list may seem simple but he ingeniously used inline content for a fade at the bottom, which has become all the rage in recent list designs! Its the first list I ever seen use that. Get it here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=393503
RulenneClarissa (anime list)
A great color scheme and hypnotic background as you scroll down! Get it here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=397817
AiNoKiseki (anime list)
I love the way the sides of the layout are completely separate from the main list, and present a happy moe mood. Get it here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=393503
u5311355 (anime list)
Using a double scrolling background, and a static background behind the list, it creates a unique 3-D I've never seen on another list before! Great job!

Miketsukami-kun (anime list)
What would become out official Code Geass layout brought a new idea to the table- messages in the top bar. Not to mention its eye candy with its emerald-like color scheme! Get it here:

Ayame_chan_ (anime list)
Ayame made this great list which became the basis of our own Fate Stay layout! You have to love the great combination of colors, font, and icons! You can get the premade version here:

LordSilen (anime list)
LordSilen made an amazing remix of the extremely popular Futuristic layout! Solid renders with great Firefox coding took it a step forward. Plus you can get it here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=448239
"Finally. a yellow background!" - random fan of the color yellow
Shishio-kun (manga list)
I like to include list designs that do something new and edgy, so I'd like to put my Boku wa list in since it is the first one to mimic the 3-D Parallax style which is very popular on websites now. This screenshot doesn't do it justice, you'll have to scroll through it on a small list to see it how its meant to be! Plus, the theme matches summer so well, doesn't it? You can install it here but follow the directions to use it properly: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=421865

Silver_Sunrise (anime list)
Wow what a great contrast of colors and background. You don't see that often at all! A perfect original design.
Ichigo-Sora (anime list)
The layout that won our 2012 design contest! Look how pretty the background glows through the translucent graphics. Its available here too: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=496753
SylakentH said: A Blu-ish layout, you know I love blue. In my eyes another revolutionary layout, various versions are up nowadays. It’s easy to use and combines a clear layout with your favorite show!
Sylinchen (anime list)
This user did something very different giving their layout a warlike look with a unique message in each header laid throughout the layout. It was one of the top finishers in our list design contest!
SylakentH said: I only got to know Sylinchen through her card and profile designs and was surprised to see her creating layouts for anime/manga lists. If you already know her works, you know she’s doing an amazing job. Good choice in colors, images and fonts, it’s easy to use and there are no animations that would cause your PC to lag.
Demonic9ight (anime list)
With my obvious love for GIFs, why did I never think of this? This is the first layout I've seen with an animated background! The GIF doesn't do it justice, you'll need to check it out while its still up. Also the list style has unique graphics and feel that really offset the background. See the animation here: http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg544/Gouko_Tenrou/Animation2.gif
Yawmus (anime list)
This is def the most original idea for a list I've seen so far this year. It has to be scrolled through to really understand why, so check it out on his list before he changes it to another amazing design.
Speirix (anime list)
This is exactly what I hoped someone would do with the Touhou layout, totally take it to its furthest customization possible! Speirix made it so every page had different renders and different backgrounds. Because every category page has a unique feel, it makes this one of my personal fave layouts of 2012.
