Hello folks, and welcome to the 2013 BBS Anime Awards. I'm not sure how this will work out, but I'm hoping for it to be an annual thing where BBS members can contribute their own opinions for a myriad of categories related to anime of that year. This thread could be used in a few ways; we could
a-all post our own awards for each category for the purpose of discussion and seeing how we relate on our thoughts of anime over the past year
or b-wait for an allotted amount of time and then tally up the answers to declare winners for each category, though this would only work if enough people answered (and correctly)
A few guidelines before we go:

-Unless otherwise specifically stated, all awards must be given to anime that started airing in that year (in this case, 2013)
-Try to avoid spoilers as best as possible
-Try to add a brief explanation of why you think what you think for each award. For the sake of post length, a sentence or two for each would certainly suffice, but it's better than nothing, especially on questionable answers.
-While you can change an answer by replying later in the thread, try to have as many as possible planned out for your first post. If that means you have to wait a while so you can get a few more shows in, feel free. I have a tentative list but won't post my answers til probably the end of December just in case my opinions change from something new I watch.
-If you have suggestions for other categories, feel free to add them, though I've narrowed this list down to 25, and I think it's pretty comprehensive and a good amount.

So here are the categories I have:
1-Best Show (what did you think was the best anime this year?)
2-Best Animation Studio (what animation studio put out the best or most consistently good material over all they released this year?)
3-Most Overrated Show (which anime did you think was most overrated this year?)
4-Most Underrated Show (and thus, which did you think was most underrated?)
5-Most Pleasing Surprise (which anime most surpassed any neutral or negative expectations going in?)
6-Biggest Disappointment (and likewise, which disappointed you most?)
7-Best Airing Season (As a whole of what they had to offer, did you like winter, spring, summer, or fall anime best?)
8-Best Animation Quality (Which anime had the best animation quality?)
9-Best Art Direction (This is different from animation quality in that a show with beautiful art and design could have sloppy framing or vice versa. Which anime had your favorite art direction?)
10-Best Writing (Which anime had the best writing in terms of dialogue, plot pacing, etc.)
11-Most Feels (Which anime did you emotionally connect with the most, if any?)
12-Best Jack of All Trades (Which anime did you feel was most perfectly balanced in all aspects it tried to cover?)
13-Favorite Single Episode (This will be a hard one for many- which single episode of any anime this year was your favorite episode in all of 2013?)
14-Best OP (What is your favorite OP? Name the song title, artist, and show it's from. The show didn't have to start in 2013 as long as the OP you selected was only aired in 2013)
15-Best ED (What is your favorite ED? Name the song title, artist, and show it's from. Again, the show didn't have to start in 2013 as long as the ED you selected was only aired in 2013)
16-Best OST (What is your favorite anime original soundtrack this year?)
17-Best Voice Acting (What anime had your favorite voice acting? I understand that pretty much nothing that aired this year has been dubbed to English yet and some people find it pointless to judge voice acting in a language they can't comprehend, but I think most people still have a show that stands out as, as far as non-Japanese speakers can tell, well acted.)
18-Best MC (Who do you think was the best main character/protagonist this year? Please name the show he or she or it is from as well.)
19-Best Supporting Character (Who do you think was the best character in a supporting cast? Again, please also name the show they're from.)
20-Best Antagonist (Who do you think was the best antagonist? If revealing an antagonist's identity spoils a plot twist, please be as vague as possible to avoid spoiling things for people.)
21-Best Death (Or rather, most impacting death. I'm aware this category is spoiler-bound, so if you name the show and episode where the character died, possibly even the time in the episode, those who have seen the show will know who you're referring to, while those who haven't won't get anything spoiled. Another option is to hyperlink an image of the character to this thread, but please, don't do this unless you know how to hyperlink here correctly. The show didn't have to start in 2013 as long as the episode in which the character died was aired in 2013.)
22-Best Anime Original (Which anime this year that wasn't adapted from a manga/light novel/video game/visual novel etc. was your favorite? In other words, it had to be an original work, not an adaption.)
23-Best Short (This could either be a series of shorter than standard episode length like those 4 minute ones, or a short film. Basically any anime shorter than the average 20 to 25 minutes.)
24-Best OVA or ONA (What was your favorite OVA or ONA? As long as the OVA or ONA was released in 2013, the show it's based off of didn't have to air in 2013.)
25-Best Movie (What was your favorite anime film this year? As long as it was 25 minutes or longer, it qualifies for this category.)

Have fun with this, guys. /o/

AHAHAH I watched like 2 shows all year and one of them started in 2012 and doesn't qualify anyway. I'm gonna go sit myself down.

Good idea though!

I don't watch many current anime.
Kill la Kill and Gintama are nominated for something by me, though.

I'll do it properly when I have more time and a better frame of mind.

Kill la Kill and Free! all over the place aaaaahhhhh

I nominate the opening song for Watamote, Watashi ga Motenai no wa Do Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui (that's the name of the song, as well as the full Japanese name of the anime) for best OP. I think the music, visuals, and lyrics are perfectly fitting for the more negative and/or energizing aspects of Tomoko's (the main character) personality and social anxiety (i.e., how she's constrained by her social anxiety; her delusional views on what should be happening to her now that she's in high school; her frustration at her lack of improvement of her social situation; her resentment and contempt towards the people who have seemingly so easily obtained what she cannot, despite her best (well, best to her delusional mind, anyway) efforts; and her repeated efforts--despite all her failed attempts at a "quick fix", she keeps trying).

I've only seen Attack on Titan this year. That's the only show I'd nominate anything for.

I'd nominate the OST and the Animation from Attack on Titan.

I shall nominate KUROKO NO BASUKE

full metal alchamist

>>8 No. Please read the opening post properly before replying.

>>7 and >>8 are invalid for best show.

Guys, read the full OP before posting. If you don't, it will be extremely obvious that you didn't, and your votes will not count. You're also wasting space on the thread by disregarding everything that I stated up there. Come on.

This is a great idea. When abouts do the polls officially close?

I'd nominate Attack on Titan for the great animation, music, and great script. The camera angling is amazing also and the graphics are very vivid. Even though I haven't watched many 2013 anime, I would just pick this particular show for the amazing things the studio had done to make such a successful anime. So this show will go as the best show of the year, the best studio, best animation quality, best art direction, most feels, best OST, and the best death. At the end of the first episode, I was stunned and didn't express any emotion. It was chilling, frightening, and the music went along the beat of my heart. I couldn't help but gape my mouth, I mean, I knew I expected that death, but the graphics- MAN. The titan was also very frightening ._. Also on episode 5 (for those of you who know what happens), that part got me. I was literally shouting, "WHY WOULD THE MAIN CHARACTER DIE?!" and raged as his best friend screamed in total fear. It also made me leap when that first titan cam flying up and ate Eren's leg 0_o.
Though the music.
The MUSIC.
The music definitely gives a chill to my back every time.
I actually don't know how to express how amazing the OSTs are, so
no comments for the OST.

Sakunya S., I absolutely agree with you. Attack on Titan would have to be one of the best animes of this DECADE! I award it for being awesome :)

>>11
Depending on the amount of posts we get, there may not even be a poll. For the time being, this can be used to compare and contrast opinions for the superlatives of this year.

In for there to be a poll though, people will have to start posting their choices for each category according to its number above or some other method of making it very evident what you want to nominate for what.

I'd like to mention (though many of you have already went ahead with this anyway) that not every category has to have an answer for each person, but the more you can answer, the better.

Bump any new input, nominations, opinions?

I've made my tentative list. Just waiting out the end of the current season to see if anything changes.

Soon...

I didn't watch as many anime this year as I would like, but I still reached a significant amount soooo here goes my votes!

1. Best Show-Attack on Titian. It definitely stole all the attention this year.

2. Best Animation Studio-Kyoto Animation. Because they wnated to show off how well they could animate WATER Free became a byproduct.

3. Most Overrated- Free! Speaking of Free, I remember it got tons of hype when it began, but the story and ending was so so, and for me ending is paramount.

4. Most Underrated- I didn't watch much anime from this year so I do have the right to decide on this one.

5. Most Pleasing Surprise-Love Lab. Going in I thought it would be a standard time waster, but to my surprise this anime kept me laughing so hard at some points I couldn't breath

6. Biggest Disappointment-Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui! I was really excited for this one but ended up dropping it halfway through, Tomokos attempts at being popular became depressing to watch.

7. Best Airing Season-Summer had The World God Only knows in it which I was waiting a year for so when it finally came around I was so happy. So Summer

8. Best Animation Quality- Attack on Titian. dem fight scenes, nuff said

9. Best Art Direction- Kamisama no Inai Nichiyobi Everything was so beautiful its hard to believe god would abandon that world

10. Best Writing-Writers of The World God Only Knows season 3 did a fantastic job of being able to stick to the mangas story line given the short time span of the anime. NOT ONE WASTED EPISODE!

11. Most Feels-Also world God Only Knows 3. idk it the romance i guess

12. Best Jack of All Trades-Attack on Titian . its got everything it needs

13. Favorite Single Episode- Flag. 6.0 About me, from The World God Only Knows

14. Best OP Jiyuu no Tsubasa from Attack on Titain. It so EPIC

15. Best ED- Love Labs was so cute! >w<

16. Best OST- Attack on Titian

17. Best Voice Acting- Again Attack on Titian. The voices all fit perfectly with thier charachters

18. Best MC- Kiema Katsuragi from The world God Only Knows (just my opinion).

19. Best Supporting Character- Levi Rivaille from Attack on Titian

20. Best Antagonist- I don't think this year had any outstanding antagonists...

21. Best Death- Hambart, Hampnie from Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi.

22. Best Anime Original-Galilei Donna. a nice adventure story about the decedents of Galileo

23. Best Short-I haven't seen any shorts from this year.

24. Best OVA or ONA- Mirai Nikki Redial. world in which Yuno is not a psycho crazy killer bitch

25. Best Movie-Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryouiki no Deja vu. Its a sweet addition to a great anime.

OH BOY, HERE WE GO.

1) Best Anime: Tied between Kill la Kill and Gj-bu, although KlK hasn't finished airing, so we'll leave it as is.

2) Best Animation Studio: SHAFT and their unnatural obsession with the whole 'artsy' bit with Monogatari. (i.e. new OP of current arc)

3) Most Overrated Show: Kill la Kill and Skingeki no Kyojin. Literally nothing but threads about them elsewhere for days on end. Or in the case of the former, even seasons BEFORE IT AIRED.

4) Most Underrated Show: Majestic Prince. Due to it's poor start, many people dropped it after the first few episodes. While it was obvious the writers needed to get their shit together, they pulled themselves back up at the second half of the series, magnificent ending (and hope for another season!).

5) Most Pleasing Surprise: Log Horizon. After the first few episodes having little action, it was only later recognized as a different kind of MMO anime. Not 'fight all the bosses, clear levels!' expeted from SAO, but a quite different experience altogether. Very refreshing.

6) Biggest "Letdown": Although not specifically the anime itself, Symphogear S2 was subbed by only one major sub group, whom the only translator working on it decided to ditch and play games for 4 weeks as everyone waited for the final episode (already released) to be subbed. Let to a sort of hiatus that generated a lot of hate for Vale (fansubber).
Another nomination for this category would be Infinite Stratos 2. Although why I even came into it with different expectations is beyond me.

7) Best Airing Season: Surprisingly, this one. Between KlK, Log Horizon, Strike the Blood, Monogatari S2, and Valvrave S2 I've enjoyed the amount of content from this season above the rest of the year's.

8) Best Animation Quality: Definitely Majestic Prince. All those mecha fights were really well done, although Shingeki does come in at a close second for all the aerodynamic scenes with the maneuver gear.

9) Art Direction: Coppelion. While it's somewhat dissapointing so far, the art style and scenery porn is fantastic. Just look at the first few minutes of the first episode if you need convincing. (Although I will warn you, the outlines on the characters are LARGE.)

10) Best Writing: Suisei no Gargantia. Although I was misled by the opening scene in ep.1, the pacing from the MC learning to live life to having to go back to being a soldier again was fantastic. That, and the reveal when he enters the ocean underwater.

11) Most Feels: Again, Majestic Prince. Not only because of all the near death encounters, but also for all the times when the team leader tries everything he can to save/ help his teammates, and when they do the same for him. Perhaps I'm being melodramatic, but since there were so few of us watching it while it aired, we usually had a lot more time to focus and bond with the characters.

12) Most Well Balanced/ Jack of All Trades: Have to go with Gj-bu. I rarely watch moe myself but I honestly liked every episode that came out, and enjoyed discussing it. I still go back and watch snippets of it every once in a while, and it's still entertaining. Perhaps it's because of it's art style, likeable characters, or teary ending, but I found it to become one of my favorites.

13) Favorite Single Episode: Kill la Kill 11. There's nothing that gets me hyped up more than a revenge scene where a character goes through insanity, tragedy, and then catharsis. Hopefully TRIGGER will keep to that, but the director's motto is to do the unexpected, so we'll see.

14) Favorite OP: Though I'm unaware of the title or artist, it can be found in the OP of Log Horizon. Mamare (Author of the show) has said several times that he was excited that everyone liked it, and I can't help but hum along whenever I hear the OP.

15) Favorite ED: Again, more apologies for the loss at the title or artist. Still, it can be found in Suisei no Gargantia. Relaxing artist, I'll probably try and look it up after I get some free time.

16) Favorite OST: (Oh how much I wish I could nominate Panty and Stocking OST from 2011, believe me, it's fenominal, espeically Fallen Angel) Anyways, sadly I haven't had the chance to download any full OST's yet! So far however, I'm really getting into all the tracks they're throwing into Kill la Kill, namely some of the character intro scenes.

17) Best Voice Acting: Actually, Shingeki no Kyojin for this one. For the same reasons in the post above, honestly. The tension in the characters voices really do portray their emotions on screen well, edginess of Eren and all that.

18) Best MC: Araragi from Monogatari S2. All around not a bad MC, nice to have an MC that actually takes charge from time to time, unlike the flood of MC's who are either influenced too much from side characters/ love intrests, or from outside sources.

19) Best Supporting Character: Hands Down, Chamber from Suisei no Gargantia. At times he appeared more human than even the MC did, and went above and beyond his role as (literally) the support for the MC.

20) Best Antagonist: From a Certain Scientific Railgun: Accelerator. Although he's beginning his transfer from villain to side character, his portrayal during the showdown with Touma was well done. Although a typical trope of 'good guy always beats the bad guy!', Accelerator actually had the power to back it up, uncaring of his killing of thousands of clones. Really helped lead up to the recap of the fight between him, Mikasa, and Touma.

21) Best Death: character from Suisei no Gargantia. Although saying much more on it is more of a giveaway, that's all I can really say. Really hit when he died, especially the way in which it happened. Overdone as a method of dying 'I'll sacrifice myself for you!', but still was painful, none the less.

22) Best Anime Original: While there are very few originals that I watched this year, there aren't any that I can recall at the moment worth mentioning.

23) Best Anime Short: Surprisingly haven't seen any shorts I can remember this season.
;_;

24) Best OVA: Highschool DXD. Only one word needed to describe this, in all honesty:
Delicious.

25) Best Movie: Steins; Gate. Although only a few days old, really did help bring back some of the memories of watching the series for the first time. Very nice change of perspective to Kurisu from Okabe, really made it seem like she finally understood his pain that he had to endure.

Still gotta work on that backlog though, ugh.

Thanks for all the input so far, guys.
With the fall shows either finished or done their first seasonal run, here are my awards:

1) Best Show: Uchouten Kazoku. Our thread for it is here. It's just perfect.

2) Best Animation Studio: P.A. Works, I suppose. I may be wrong but I don't think any studio that did multiple projects lacked a weak one that screwed things up. Haven't seen the low-scored RDG, but Nagi no Asukara and Uchouten Kazoku were really nice.

3) Most Overrated: Watamote. Fuck Watamote.

4) Most Underrated: Aku no Hana. I understand that this show relies almost completely on mood and suspense though, and if you've read the manga and know what's coming, it probably isn't anywhere near as good.

5) Most Pleasing Surprise: Senyu. I expected nothing out of this dinky little 4-minute comedy, but I got everything and then some.

6) Biggest Disappointment: Kyoukai no Kanata. I very rarely get myself hyped for shows since I like to go into them neutrally and judge them totally objectively. I was enthused about Kyoukai since I first saw it on the fall charts. My enthusiasm faded very quickly when I actually started watching it. It only got worse with time.

7) Best Season: Fall. More shows I watched this year came from fall than any other season.

8) Best Art: Kyousougiga. Good god, Kyousougiga. This show is a feast for the eyes.

9) Best Animation: Attack on Titan. Argue about its hype all you want, it's undeniable that the animation was consistently far above average.

10) Best Writing: Uchouten Kazoku. It's hard to put into words why I think the writing for this was so great, it just is. Kyousougiga too. Both shows are 10/10 as a whole and if they had poor writing, that wouldn't be possible.

11) Most Feels: Uchouten Kazoku. Some of these episodes, man.

12) Best Jack-of-all-Trades: Silver Spoon. As much as I love Uchouten Kazoku and Kyousougiga, Silver Spoon had a more diverse array of narrative styles and its different setting helped even some of its more trope-like moments feel original.

13) Best Single Episode: Uchouten Kazoku episode 13. Final episode of the series, so no spoilers for you folks, but everything wraps up in a hilarious series of events and the epilogue bit at the end isn't rushed.

14) Best OP: "Crowds" by White Ash (Gatchaman Crowds OP). Fantastic visuals? Check. Fantastic direction? Check. Fantastic song composition and production? Check. Near-perfect sync? Check. A hell of a lot of Engrish? Oh boy, check. I think we have a winner here folks. Oh, and to top it off, the actual music video for the song involves people swordfighting with water-powered jetpacks. It is the best.
There were so many good ones though, so here aree some honorable mentions:
2-“Jiyuu no Tsubasa” by Linked Horizon (Attack on Titan OP2)
3-“Guren no Yumiya” by Linked Horizon (Attack on Titan OP1)
4-“May I Help You?” by Ai Kayano, Mai Nakahara, and Aki Toyosaki (Servant x Service OP)
5-“Koko” by Tamurapan (Kyousougiga OP)
6-“Synchromanica” by Negoto (Galilei Donna OP)
7-“Uchouten Jinsei” by Milktub (Uchouten Kazoku OP)
8-“Halo” by Tacica (Space Brothers OP7)
9-“Database feat. TAKUMA (10 Feet)” by Man With A Mission (Log Horizon OP)
10-“Mukai Kaze” by Yohko (Maoyuu Maou Yuusha OP)

15) Best ED: "Utsukushiki Zankoku no Sekai" by Yoko Hikasa (Attack on Titan ED1). That art style. Those chord progressions. That vocal performance. It's all just perfect.
Honorable mentions for best ED:
2-“Great Escape” by Cinema Staff (Attack on Titan ED2)
3-“Topology” by Itou Kanako (Robotics;Notes ED2)
4-“Qué Será, Será” by Fhána (Uchouten Kazoku ED)
5-“Daisy” by Stereo Dive Foundation (Kyoukai no Kanata ED)

16) Best OST: Haven't actually listened to one outside of the anime they're from, but I'd have to say Kill la Kill's music has kept my attention the most this year.

17) Best Voice Acting: Hataraku Maou-Sama. Over the top comedy done right.

18) Best Main Character: Myoue/Yakushimaru (Kyousougiga). Myoue’s backstory alone is enough to make you feel for the guy, but Kyousougiga’s events make feeling for him not enough. As its story comes closer to full circle, Myoue becomes more personal to anyone who has experienced loss or a falling out with their family.

19) Best Supporting Character: Mako Mankanshoku (Kill la Kill). People can say what they want about this show, but they cannot deny that the “hyperactive cheerleader friend to the MC” trope has never been done with more self-aware class and lack of giving a fuck than Mako. She’s a hilarious character to watch, and the heart and soul of Kill la Kill’s out-of-the-box wackiness without sacrificing her personality. I wish I personally knew someone like Mako. Mako is da fuckin’ bomb, ya dig?

20) Best Antagonist: The Female Titan (Attack on Titan). Ain't no one stop this bitch. The carnage she makes is immense.

21) Best Death: Click at your own risk, but this person from Robotics;Notes, in episode 16. Their death topped off a string of events that made R;N a slice-of-life with hints of distant sci-fi chaos into a show that took itself a lot more seriously. The death itself was incredibly emotional and it changed the show for the better.

22) Best Anime Original: Tamako Market. I'm a sucker for KyoAni's moe. There were a few bobbles, but I thought this was still quite solid for a slice-of-life show.

23) Best Anime Short: Senyu. See award 5. It's just gold.

24) Best OVA: Only good one I've seen was Tonari no Kaibutsu-Kun: Tonari no Gokudou-kun. It was decent enough. If you liked the original, you'll enjoy this little OVA spinoff.

25) Best Film: The Garden of Words. It’s by the guy that did 5 Centimeters per Second, so it looks fucking great. Its two main characters are voiced by Miyu Irino and Kana Hanazawa. The music is by Kashiwa Daisuke. The story is a mess, but it’s a beautifully disjointed mess; one that walks in bad shoes but carries a heart of gold and will hit you right in the feels whether you want it to or not.

BONUS CATEGORY) Best Show That Didn't Receive An Award Or Mention Me Yet: Oregairu. With a cynical wit as sharp as a knife, Oregairu occasionally falls victim to the very tropes it tries to avoid, but make no mistake, its narrative is not that of your average rom-com. Anyone looking for a show that breaks the mold of high school anime, look no further. It’s not perfect, but the effort is enough.

>>20 Out of curiosity, why did you think Watamote was so over-rated?

I have decided that shows that haven't finished airing (kill la kill, samurai flamenco, etc.) don't count, and will be including shows from fall 2012 that bled into winter 2014 instead. That's just how I'll be doing my picks, so don't feel like I'm saying anyone else's are invalid. That said, I need to watch Eccentric Family and a couple others before I can finish deciding, so it'll probably be around the end of the month when I get to it.

THAT SAID,
>>20 Best OST Kill la Kill?? REALLY? Hiroyuki Sawano is capable of sooooo much better than ham-fisted insert songs and maybe one awesome orchestral piece (that one with the torrent of cellos that opens like, every episode because the music editor sucks at his job, I'll give you that one). But MAN, at least in the Attack on Titan OST he showed he can actually compose a SCORE.

>>22
I mean shows that bled into winter 2013, duh.

>>21
To start, I don't think Watamote's particular brand of comedy is one that stays funny for long. It felt very uncomfortable to watch, I didn't feel any empathy for Tomoko and nothing stood out to me about its animation or direction. I know a lot of people loved it, irl, on MAL, on 4chan (ugh), and elsewhere, and I just don't get the appeal or how it can stay entertaining for more than 1 or 2 episodes, as opposed to a show which sucked but kept me intrigued such as Kyoukai no Kanata...however disappointing the result actually was.

>>22
Again, I unfortunately didn't get to listening to any OSTs outside their source material but I figured leaving one of my own categories blank would be equivalent to OP not giving a shit about his own thread...

and thus I picked the most recent show to have music stick out for me. lel.
In regards to why Titan's may not have stood out for me as much...I honestly think it might be because everything else in that show is so visually distracting. Despite Kill la Kill's reputation for absurd moments, there's actually a lot more downtime than we got in Attack on Titan (which seems ridiculous considering its slow pace). Another huge reason KlaK's stuck out for me was its use of cornerstone compositions at perfect timing. I'm a sucker for that stuff.

Though if I'm to be completely honest, I'll admit that Best OST was one of the few categories I couldn't easily hand a winner to, as no anime's music this year left enough of an imprint on my memory that it would be one of the first things I think of when given the show as a topic. For example, if I were to have done these awards last year, I would've no doubt given the Best OST award to Kids on the Slope, but there wasn't a show of such a caliber like that for me this year. Maybe the closest I could've given an example of is Aku no Hana's OST...but upon listening to some of those tracks outside the show, they left far less of an impression.

tl;dr: I kinda bullshitted one category, but I do like Kill la Kill's music and I noticed it more than Titan's. My bad if that's OST sacrilege. lol

Anyway, I'm interested to see your awards when you decide to write 'em up and I'm glad you're waiting til after watching The Eccentric Family to post them. It may just be my hope, but I do think they'll rightfully earn a place for quite of a few of your awards. Hope you enjoy it, bro.

>>24
That's fair enough. I'm kind of a snob about score, since it's something I work with in postproduction sound sometimes, I'll admit that.

And yeah, that was my intention in waiting, there's a few that I know I need to get through before I can really decide, eccentric family being the top of the list.

Also even though it doesn't count, mako is the shit and would totally be my best supporting role too if I were doing it that way. Mako for president.

>>25
Am I correct in assuming part of the reason you're excluding continuing shows is cause they may change and not accurately reflect what award you gave them at that time?

Cause if so, I don't think it's anything to worry about; unless it's for an award like "Best Show" that reflects the work as a whole and thus can't be judged as such, the thread is more to reflect upon what aired this year. There are plenty of categories that even shows that haven't ended yet can take part in without it being a conflict of objectivity, such as Mako, who even if something drastically changes in Kill la Kill's run from here on out was undeniably my favorite supporting character of any show in 2013. Ya know?

but of course, that's just my view on it, assuming "it" is what I think it is. I just think you'd limit yourself cause there were a lot of great moments or awardable parts from shows that started last season and are still airing imo. Your call, bro. /o/

>>26
Yeah it's mainly that I have a lot I things from shows that continued into winter 2013 that I want to be able to include, also
I feel like it makes more sense. I feel like it would be unfair to not consider those shows as a whole.

I think kurobas is the best
