-{A1}- [Best Storyline & Plot]

• Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon

Spoiler for comments:

I have yet to see Tsuritama & Chihayafuru, so I can't say much on those.
Horizon takes the spot for me over Fate/Zero, I found myself much more engaged in its story even if it started off a bit difficult back in S1, but man was S2 freaking awesome in where it went and how things developed alongside with building on what was started in S1. F/Z itself was nice as well, though there were definitely no surprises for me since I had read the light novel quite some time before it was even announced to be animated. I more or less enjoyed the characters more than the story for Fate/Zero not by much though. Meanwhile for Horizon, I was pretty much overwhelmed by how much I had enjoyed the story as well as how much the characters themselves were great to watch.

• Yuru Yuri

Spoiler for comments:

Now I haven't seen Danshi or Jinrui so I can't consider those. Between Chuu2Koi and Yuru Yuri, I really had enjoyed both as they gave me quite a large amount of laughs. Though Yuru Yuri wins this for me in that well, I'm pretty sure I laughed quite a number of times each episode compared to Chuu2Koi.
If Haiyore Nyaruko-san! had got in, then well I don't know how I'd have choosen between that or Yuru Yuri.

-{B8}- [Best Slice of Life]

• Hyouka

-{B9}- [Best Sports] n/a

-{C1}- [Best TV Series]

• Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon

Spoiler for comments:

Really, I had enjoyed the hell out of S1, and I expected to again for S2. Though it blew all expectations I had for it and then some for every episode every week. I loved every bit of it. While it had an already large cast from S1, it added a another large group of characters into the fray. I was really wondering how that would have turned out, but everyone had their moment to shine. Some more than others of course. But when characters of different countries / opposing sides got their time in the limelight, man was it something to behold!

There was also some very golden comedy throughout the series. The "what is sex gag" for a few of the more...clueless characters was just hilarious. I also appreciated how comedy was used in the way it helped lighten the intense mood of when the show was getting pretty darn heavy in it's politics/negotiation debates. Good time to take a breather.

Epic battles throughout it, whether it is 1 v 1 or a massive fleet battle. Named characters, or even the "grunts" of opposing sides all get a chance to do something awesome.

-{C2}- [Best OVA] n/a
-{C3}- [Best Movie]

• Fullmetal Alchemist: Milos no Seinaru Hoshi

Spoiler for comments:

Ah I had forgotten to vote this as a nomination Well between this or K-ON! I can say I vastly enjoyed this much more. It was great to see Ed + Al again for another adventure, guess I'm a bit bias here for it now that I think of it...

-{D1}- [Best Female Lead]

• Kuroyukihime

-{D2}- [Best Male Lead]

• Houtarou Oreki

-{D3}- [Best Antagonist]

• Kotomine Kirei

I'll admit I'm probably severely biased here as Kirei is my favorite TM character and has been for 3 or so years now. Either way watching how things played out for him was a an enjoyable experience.
I wish I could eat some Mapo Tofu with him!

-{D4}- [Best Side-Character]

• Asako Natsume

- Rider was as awesome as I expected him to be animated, but I'll give this up to Natsume-chan~ As I was really impressed of how awesome she was in Tonari.

-{D5}- [Best World Setting]

• Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon

-{D6}- [Best Credits Theme]

• To The Beginning

-{D7}- [Best Soundtrack]

• Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon

Spoiler for comments:

No contest here for me. While the other nominees had very nice tracks, Horizon had an OST that was completely outstanding. Usually only 2 or 3 tracks really keep my interest after a series is finished, but the Horizon ost 2 was magnificent to listen to. Lots of epic tracks were used in extremely fitting ways. Well aside epic there were also some pretty relaxing/friendly ones, along with maybe a strange track or 2 as well. Though they are all enjoyable.

Anyways, Klashikari already listed some favorites of mine from the ost. Well...2 other tracks that I enjoy that weren't listed -- Ketsui wo Himete & Tamerainaku Tobikomu no wa

-{D8}- [Best Ongoing Series]

• Shin Sekai Yori

- Out of the nominees this is the one I'm enjoying the most. If only Uchuu kyoudai got nominated for this!

Edit: I guess it's obvious that I'm a definite fanboy/supporter of Horizon.
I can definitely see it's not a series for everyone, but worth checking out. It's definitely something you need to watch in whole before saying anything about it. I guess for new comers the first 3 episodes will definitely be the biggest obstacle. If you can get past that then you'll be greatly rewarded IMO.

Well regardless of what others think of it I shall love it for what it is. Along with the flaws that exist in it as well.

[Archaeon]

-{A1}- [Best Storyline & Plot] Chihayafuru

For this category, I've only seen Fate/Zero and Chihayafuru and have a tough time decide between those two but in the end, I choose Chihayafuru as I've seen Fate/Star Night and already know what will happen in Fate/Zero.

-{A2}- [Best Visuals & Animation] Fate/Zero

I've seen all four anime for this category but decided to go with Fate/Zero as those battle animation scene impress me especially when they use their Noble Phantasm such as Saber's Excalibur.

-{B0}- [Best Action-Adventure] Mirai Nikki

Only seen Fate/Zero and Mirai Nikki.Again, another tough choice for me. While Fate/Zero have better animation,it has too many calm period while Mirai Nikki have more breath taking moments. So, Mirai Nikki wins it.

-{B1}- [Best Fantasy] Nastume Yuujinchou Shi

Except for Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita,I've seen the rest here. Sword Art Online feel more like Sci Fi rather than fantasy for me. Natsume easily wins this as there's more fantasy aspect and focus more on supernatural creatures(yokai).

-{B2}- [Best Science Fiction] Accel World

I've only seen Accel World so Accel World.

-{B3}- [Best Horror] Another

Didn't watch Gyo. Pick Another mainly because it's the closest one for having fear factor while Mirai Nikki is more towards action and Tasogare Otome x Amnesia heavy romance doesn't make it feel like horror at all.

-{B4}- [Best Mystery] Hyouka

Didn't watch UN-GO episode:0 Inga-ron. Hyouka stand out the most. Who would have thought your average daily lives event can make a good mystery too. Hyouka did a brilliant job in this category for being original mystery anime.

-{B5}- [Best Drama] Kokoro Connect

Didn't watch Sakamichi no Apollon. Kokoro Connect easily wins. While Chihayafuru and Tari Tari drama revolve around karuta and music respectively, Kokoro Connect doesn't need all those and yet, manage to pull out constant characters interaction, development and relationship, thus making a good drama.

-{B6}- [Best Romance] Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

I've only seen Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. As romance in Chuunibyou come around the second half of the show, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun started off right at the beginning to the end so Tonari easily win this category.

-{B7}- [Best Comedy] Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou just because it's the funniest I've seen.

-{B8}- [Best Slice of Life] Tari Tari

Only see Tari Tari and Hyouka. Tari Tari easily win this because it focus on every single characters background and how each of them overcome challenges/problems in their life. Therefore, Tari Tari feel more like slice of life to me.

-{B9}- [Best Sports] Kuroko no Basket

Tsuritama is the only one I didn't watch. Kuroko no Basket is the most action packs one here and feels more like sports anime.

-{C1}- [Best TV Series] Fate/Zero

Even though Fate/Zero don't win my vote for every single category above, it's the only one that excel in almost every single category from storyline, characters, action and animation.

-{C2}- [Best OVA]

-{C3}- [Best Movie] Hotarubi no Mori E

I've only seen Hotarubi no Mori E and K-On! Movie but Hotarubi no Mori E easily won due to it's combination of great story line, romance and fantasy/supernatural.

-{D1}- [Best Female Lead] Chihaya Ayase

Chihaya Ayase win this. She interested me more than other female characters here as she the most three dimensional characters here.

-{D2}- [Best Male Lead] Kiritsugu Emiya

Kiritsugu Emiya wants to be hero, yet he is not afraid to use evil tactic and strategy that can hardly be consider an ideal hero way just to make sure he win Holy Grail at any cost. This makes me interested in him. He also got some cool fight scenes too.

-{D3}- [Best Antagonist] Kotomine Kirei

I already familiar with this guy since Fate/Stay Night but Kotomine Kirie in Fate/Zero is truly an a$$ hole. It's hard not to vote for this person in this category.

-{D4}- [Best Side-Character] Toki Onjouji

I know all four of them. Not interested in Fukube and he's too annoying. Natsume is funny and cute. Rider is awesome. However, in the end I go for Saimoe 2012 champion, Onjouji Toki. Some people even think the show should be rename Toki: Senriyama Hen.

-{D5}- [Best World Setting] Accel World

Have a hard time to choose between Accel World and SAO, but go with Accel World since I enjoy it more.


-{D6}- [Best Credits Theme] To The Beginning

I always like Kalafina song since watching Kara no Kyoukai and this is no exception.

-{D7}- [Best Soundtrack] Fate/Zero
-{D8}- [Best Ongoing Series] Psycho Pass

Psycho Pass due to it's interesting and original concept and setting.

Kind of a default since it's the only one I watched to any length.

-{B6}- [Best Romance]Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

-{B8}- [Best Slice of Life]Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb
I think Acchi Kocchi fits this best, but since nobody agrees with me I'll just have to settle for second best.

Tried not to vote for anything unless I've seen at least half of the candidates in the category. Didn't feel like that would be fair to the categories otherwise. Abstained from ongoing series because... difficult.

It can be seen that I am a diehard supporter of Horizon. I highly recommend the series if you can withstand the first few episodes and possibly the character designs.

Spoiler for Music Related:

I am a little sad that best soundtrack is probably going to go to F/Z due to the Kajura Yuki bump. Personally, comparing the two soundtracks, I was a lot more pumped from Horizon's soundtrack due to emotional recall. A lot of the tracks from F/Z just blended together for me and didn't instantly snap me to the important scenes. I prefer Kajura Yuki back in the Tsubasa days, but that might be saying something about me. See Klashikari and FlavoryFantasy's posts for examples of Horizon's music.

-{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.

{A1}- [Best Storyline & Plot] Tsuritama

This came down to Tsuritama and Chihayafuru for me. But as I will be voting for Chihayafuru in several other categories I wanted to to vote for Tsuritama in something. Not to mention it was an original story so I think it deserves this award.

-{A2}- [Best Visuals & Animation] Hyouka


-{B0}- [Best Action-Adventure] Fate Zero


-{B1}- [Best Fantasy] Natsume Yuujinchou Shi

One of my favorites of the year. Probably doesn't have a chance but good luck Natsume.

-{B2}- [Best Science Fiction] N/A

I didn't watch any of the nominees fully. Next year should be a better choice in this category for me.

-{B3}- [Best Horror] N/A

The only one I watched was Another but it was a disappointment so I won't vote for it.

-{B4}- [Best Mystery] Hyouka

-{B5}- [Best Drama] Chihayafuru

I was considering Sakamichi no Apollon, but Chihayafuru is the stronger series here.

-{B6}- [Best Romance] Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

-{B7}- [Best Comedy]

N/A

Again there should be better choices for me next year.

-{B8}- [Best Slice of Life] Hyouka

For what I consider "slice of life" Hyouka emphasizes this more than Tsuritama the only other series I would consider.

-{B9}- [Best Sports] Chihayafuru

I didn't even think about Tsuiritama being sports at first but of course that is a really great choice as well, but this was always going to be Chihayafuru for me.

-{C1}- [Best TV Series] Chihayafuru


-{C2}- [Best OVA] N/A

-{C3}- [Best Movie] Hotarubi no Mori e

Only saw Fullmetal Alchemist Milos and honestly I thought it wasn't good at all and almost goes against some things in the manga storyline.

Hotarubi no Mori e on the other hand is a wonderful adaption of a beautiful short story. It has all my support.


-{D1}- [Best Female Lead] Chihaya Ayase (Chihayafuru)


-{D2}- [Best Male Lead] Taichi Mashima (Chihayafuru)

All 3 of my nominations made it which I am super happy about: Taici, Natsume, and Houtaru. And heck Araragi is a good character too. This might be the strongest & hardest category for me.

But I really think Taichi is the best of the group flawed but constantly growing and improving. His character arc was a joy to watch.

-{D3}- [Best Antagonist] N/A


-{D4}- [Best Side-Character] Satoshi Fukube

Although I love Rider & he really made Fate Zero for me, he won last year and it's time to give another character a chance.

I had a hard time choosing between Natsume & Satoshi but in the end I went with Satoshi because I think he is the more complex of the two characters. Though I won't be upset if Natsume wins instead.

-{D5}- [Best World Setting] N/A

-{D6}- [Best Credits Theme] To the Beginning by Kalafina


-{D7}- [Best Soundtrack] Sakamichi no Apollon

-{D8}- [Best Ongoing Series] N/A

For now I am keeping this undecided if Space Brothers had made it that would have been my choice however as it didn't I can't decide between Shin Sekai Yori or Psycho Pass. I think both are excellent but until each finish I can't decide between them. I expect I will be nominating both next year at least in sci-fi and/or horror categories.

So in the end if either of those two win I will be pleased.
