-{A1}- [Best Storyline & Plot] Fate/Zero
-{A2}- [Best Visuals & Animation] Hyouka
-{B0}- [Best Action-Adventure] Fate/Zero
-{B1}- [Best Fantasy] Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
-{B2}- [Best Science Fiction] Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
I'm honestly not sure whether to classify Jinrui's setting as fantasy or sci-fi...
-{B4}- [Best Mystery] Hyouka
-{B5}- [Best Drama] Tari Tari
It's a deadlock between Kokoro Connect and Tari Tari, but then I realized that I all my enjoyment of Kokoro Connect came from a single character, so there you go.
-{B7}- [Best Comedy] Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
Now here's a genuine conundrum. Jinrui's humor, for me, was delivered just as smartly if not more. But then, I probably spent more time laughing at the jokes in Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou than I did in Jinrui.
-{B8}- [Best Slice of Life] Hyouka
No contest.
-{B9}- [Best Sports] Chihayafuru
As much of a Saki fan that I am, I have to give credit to where it is due.
-{C1}- [Best TV Series] Hyouka
-{D1}- [Best Female Lead] Watashi
Don't get me wrong. Chihaya is an awesome female lead; it's just that Watashi's biting wit and general deadpan-ness wins out in the end.
-{D2}- [Best Male Lead] Houtarou Oreki
-{D3}- [Best Antagonist] Deishu Kaiki
So why choose a relatively one-dimensional villain over the better characterized Kotomine Kirei? Because he has style, and that's what makes all the difference in the world.
-{D4}- [Best Side-Character] Satoshi Fukube
-{D5}- [Best World Setting] Sword Art Online
-{D6}- [Best Credits Theme] To The Beginning
-{D8}- [Best Ongoing Series] Psycho-Pass
