[Archon_Wing]

*Insert salty post about how stuff I liked didn't get voted for, and stuff I didn't like get voted in*

Anyhow, seems like quite a bit of variety for this year. Grats to the anime industry.

[Redoaxe]

2015 is Shirobako's year.

I enjoy most series that won so I'm glad.

[MCAL]

I'm only really disappointed that Baby Steps lost, but I'm fine with everything else.

[Reckoner]

I see that people still have horrible taste in OST's .

Shirobako winning makes sense since it seemed to really remind most of the anime community, jaded or not, why they love the medium in the first place. I don't think it was the best of the year, but it definitely had a special quality to it.

[FlavoryFantasy]

I can only bring myself to spite the winner for 'best OST' so....that's all I'll say for that

On the other hand. I'm definitely glad to see Mushishi & Love Live! winning the OVA + Movie categories. No more Mushishi...and it did end on a lovely note. While for Love Live! The last of that cast in an animated series work. They went out with a blast too, so hooray.

As for the other category I was hoping for....female lead! Very pleased to see Yona take the award there.

And another 'huzzah!' for Shirobako and the awards it claimed. hooray for doughnuts. drug laced doughnuts

Thanks again to the folks that ran the awards.

[SuitUp]

I'm kinda salty Baby Steps lost, agaiiiin(and this time to a damn cooking show ), but other than that it's good to see Shirobako dominate, and KiminoUso get the romance category

[Ulin]

I can't believe Baby Steps lost... But at least I got something from this. I should start watching Shirobako

[SPARTAN 119]

Well, my vote for best movie (Psycho-Pass) got second place to the Love Live Movie, but I kind of saw that one coming given the large Love Live fanbase on this site.

As for the other stuff, based on the results as far as stuff I missed, starting Akatsuki no Yona and will be getting onto Shirobako next.

[Archaeon]

I'm happy with the result overall. Shirobako and Shigatsu are my top two favorites anime of 2015.

[blakstealth]

One Punch Man for best comedy? Interesting.

[Hiroi Sekai]

Shirobako, you king. You were my favourite of 2015, so I'm glad to see it featured multiple times here. Truly an unexpected blast of amazing from that series.

[~Yami~]

aww... I guess time to start watching Shirobako as well.. lol

a lot of unpredictable result for me though.. grats for 2015 winners

[Darthtabby]

Seems the winners are reasonably diverse this year, which is a good thing. From a personal perspective, a lot of the shows I backed came in second, but at least I can count a couple really solid victories in the character categories.

[DOmus]

Well, I never felt an actual romance in Shigatsu but ok, if that is what people thinks... anyway, I kinda agree with most of the winners so that's good.

As I said, I felt that this series did not have that point of strong romance, I felt it more as a friendship kind of thing up until the last episode. Kaori confesses after what happened(which lead to nowhere since there's nothing that could be done, just personal growth for the mc), then the other girl kinda show her feelings but the series was over so... ok.
Throughout the series I never actually felt that romance was needed, like, I cared more about how everyone grew as a person and came to accomplish or not what they wanted(and the music obviously).

Against the other options(ore monogatari and rakudai) this kinda feel weak in the romantic department(which for me is a lot more developed in those stories).

Just personal opinion.

[Akito Kinomoto]

Of the anime and films I've seen in 2015, these awards are all at least good and not a single AS Snub happened (we had losers but the competition was fucking fierce). Aside from OPM as best comedy

Stay tuned in early 2017 for the ERASED awards?

[felix]

The current season is already insane for me. I think I like (almost) every show—when usually it's just 1-2 shows, and most of the time they just catch my interest and little more.

If 2016 can keep it up it will be on track for one of my favorite years, and the awards will be bloody.

That said based on the results from the awards (nomination phase included) it appears I've missed most of the good shows this year. oops

It's unfortunate past me was very unlucky, but current and future me has a lot to look forward to and catchup on.

[Wandering Soul]

If anything these results showed me that I really should get around to watching Shirobako like I've been meaning to.
