It's that time of the year again. With only a month and a half left in the year 2009, it's time to recollect the best of 2009. After taking suggestions from last year, this year will hopefully run a bit smoother despite starting later.

We have now entered Round 2. Only the top 5 titles nominated in Round 1 for each section qualified. The rest have had to walk home empty-handed.

RULES:
1) In Round 2, each user will be allowed to pick 2 titles for each category. Anything after the second vote or a title that is not included in the list below will not be accepted as a valid entry for that category and will simply be dismissed.
2) You must RANK IN ORDER. The rankings ARE WEIGHTED.
3) You may change your votes as often as you want as well as leave blanks up until the deadline. Anything after the deadline will not be accepted. Any users suspected of fraud or multiple accounts will have all their votes disqualified.

Listed in the spoiler tags are the titles that have qualified in each category. They are listed in alphabetical order and do not reflect the standings that there were in from Round 1. If there are more than 5 listed for a category, that means there were multiple ties for the fifth spot:

I like the selections this year even less than last year's. The fact that there wasn't a show for me to vote for on several categories says something. I AM DISAPPOINT

Best OP Theme:

1. "Toki o Kizamu Uta" by Lia (Clannad After Story)
2. "Shin Ai" by Nana Mizuki (White Album)
(It was really a toss up between "Shin Ai" and "Silky Heart" (2nd Toradora! OP) since I liked them about equally, but in the end, "Shin Ai" is simply a better song, and more eternal, and of course, Nana Mizuki deserves the #2 spot here, though even she couldn't beat Lia this year IMO.)

Nothing else in this list is even close to original.

Best Character/Development:
Clannad ~After Story~
Though Tomoya's awesome character development is completely shattered by that deus machina end.

Best Show 2009:
No vote

I was able to vote in everything except best show, as none of those I think deserve that distinct recognition. I'm not really surprised with results of the first round.
 
Best OP Theme:
Cagayake! Girls by Aki Toyosaki, Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Satou and Minako Kotobuki (K-ON!) - LOVED IT!!!!!
Super Driver by Aya Hirano (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu 2009) it's not Hare Hare Yuki but was still very fun to listen to.

Best ED Theme:
Don’t say 'lazy' by Aki Toyosaki, Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Satou, Minako Kotobuki (K-ON!) I listened to it everyday during the series run.

Best Action:
NO VOTE

Best Animation:
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu 2009 - animation dropped a little from the 1st season but it was still bwtter than most.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - excluding episode 6 this was a very well made animation style unique for a disaster series.
This was a tough decision to make.....

Best Soundtrack:
K-ON! - No doubt deserve best soundtrack.

Best Comedy:
K-ON! - That Yui had me laughing all through out the series.

Best Romance/Drama:
Clannad ~After Story~ - well it was the only one i watched...

Most Enjoyable:
Clannad ~After Story~ - touching ejoyable
K-ON! - ha ha enjoyable.

Best Plot:
Clannad ~After Story~ - though it was copied from a Visual novel it still had that different feel to it from most other visual novels.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Two kids trying to find their way home after an Earthquake may not seem an original plot, but there was alot of research put into this anime to actually teach alot of people what might happen when Tokyo is hit by an 8.0 Earthquake; and showing these happenings and disasters from the point of 2 kids and a guardian adult was a unique plot.

Most Original:
K-ON! - most band inspired anime tend to fail. K-ON is one of the few that not only don't fail, but MORE that surpass all expectations.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - read Best Plot for the same reasons.

Best Character/Development:
Clannad ~After Story~ - Seeing Tomoya grow up to finally break through hsi depression and start raising his daughter was a touching scene.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - For TM8 Seeing Miari going from a bratty older sister/daughter to a loving and careing sister and daughter was really well done. Having to overcome her little brother's unexpected death was a really good twist.

Best Show 2009:
Clannad ~After Story~ - both these anime had some of the best tear jerking moments this year.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - both deserve best show bur TM8 probably should get it more because it was it's own unique story.
Anyone here who votes for Toradora in ANY category SERIOUSLY needs to have their brains cheeked.

I'm sad Michiko to Hatchin didn't make it to the finals in any of the categories

DAMN DAMN.......its the same as last year.

PLUS......not many knew that X'amd: Lost Memories (aka Bounen no Xamdou) began its airing on Japanese TV, which was in April 2009 and finished sometime in September/October of this year. The only difference between the TV version and the original PS3 version is that they use 2 different OPs and EDs but the same artist.....the OPs are done by Boom Boom Satellites and the EDs are done by Kylee.

2nd OP of X'amd: Lost Memories (aka Bounen no Xamdou) - Back On My Feet by Boom Boom Satellites: -

I'm really disappointed with the choices in some of the categories but most of my hate goes towards the choices on the Best ED.............where the hell is Soul Eater's 3rd ED, Bakusō Yume Uta by Diggy-Mo ?? This song is amazing and yet it didn't make the cut.
wink.gif


Vote for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0!!!! XD
laugh.gif
That's pretty much the only thing I like about this year's selection.......Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is in it..........which is million times better than Clannad in most respects.

You can't beat Haruka Tomatsu's Megumi Nakajima's songs in this age and time. Ebullient Future barely made the cut and it seems like that it won't progress pass this round
