Glad to see so many nominations for Kill la Kill. If only Japanese otaku did not have mostly shit taste and did not give the top awards to SAO II. I want to be proven wrong and have Kill la Kill receive all the recognition it deserves.

I see a lot of love for Arpeggio of Blue Steel, I am hoping for a worthy follow up.

Regardless of SAO, giving Kill la Kill any sort of screenplay award is ridiculous.

Judging by how visual its humor and writing are, Kill La Kill strikes me as more of a storyboard-driven show than most anime. But there's no category for that, and KLK is a show that packs that much absurd creativity into one episode than most anime do into their entire runs. It definitely deserves to be recognized for that.

SAO II has done nothing to deserve an award well maybe a Raspberry if it were a film and not a TV anime.

I like how people treat the Best Character votes as a "Who is the coolest/cutest character" vote. If they were actually voting Best Character based on their actual character, then half of the lists would be replaced. (I mean, let's be honest, Jotaro and Tatsuya, for example, don't exactly have the most engaging personalities. Unless the aforementioned is the intended purpose of the list.)

Kill la Kill is the best show of the year? That's downright sad...

Amazed to see Kill la Kill on a lot of these considering how atrocious it is. Mako number 9 on best female character? Joke vote? Got to be.
Glad to see great series like SAOII, Mahouka, Arpeggio, Free! and JoJo represented though. Agree with Asuna on the female character list, still ahead of Sinon and Mother's Rosario will only elevate her higher.

So Aniplex and Bandai just buy their awards and prestige at this point it's starting to look like going by the whole Idolmaster thing and what's on the list in general. So few of the series, people and companies mentioned here feel particularly worthy of any sort of significant recognition and unless they really did just buy these articles and recognition from Newtype (Can't help but remember that all these companies hold stock in Kadokawa which publishes Newtype magazine) the fact that the current fanbase is this beholden to what looks like simple unabashed commercialism is another black mark on anime as a medium as far as I'm concerned. It's just really a shame.

There's nothing riding on this award, it's entirely a popularity poll. I think it's just some fans are more organized than others at canvassing this thing.

Its hardly a surprise at this point that these polls are popularity driven than quality driven though I am glad that Kill la Kill is getting some recognition since I really was hoping for it to succeeded as Trigger's first real production.

Regardless of what I felt of the show (in that I thought it was alright nothing more or less) I was always interested in seeing information about the production and whatever other side pictures the staff drew. Part of the reason I wanted it to succeed was because I really dug the style this and Gurren Lagann had (and I suppose I could bring up LWA as well) so this doing well could bring forth something really interesting later down the line that may supersede both Lagann and Kill la Kill.

Kill la Kill FTW. It deserves it especially after the special.

what. Dude, you're just asking for trouble with that line. I can't really take this post seriously.
