These are the main awards. The results for the others, including the new Foreign Fan Award, have not yet been announced. We’ll supposedly know this weekend.
And now, let me squee. KAMIYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m soooooooooooo happy that he won best lead!! He certainly deserves it as he one of the most talented seiyuu in the biz. Yes, I voted for him, hehe. I think I voted for Inoue too. Nyanko sensei~! Obviously Natsume Yuujinchou had a strong impression in 2008, as it should since it’s a wonderful series. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.
I’m not a real fan of Kugimiya. I’ll admit she can act but I really can’t stand her high pitched voice. Hooray for Sugita. Though I know the names of the best supporting female winners, I don’t remember their roles. I think Sawashiro was Shibasaki in Toshokan Sensou though? *checks* Yup. I’m not familiar with Okamoto but YAY for Kaji! He’s adorable as Finny in Kuroshitsuji. The rookie females I have never heard of… Sorry. No surprise that Nakajima won for singing what with Macross Frontier and all. I prefer May’n over Nakajima but May’n isn’t a seiyuu, hehe. Fukuyama as best personality… Nn… I don’t know about that one. Then again, I don’t listen to any of his radios. Not to take any credit away from Fukuyama, but this one I can kinda see as a popularity thing. But I may just be saying that because I wanted the DGS pair of Kamiya and Ono to win. .^^;; BUWAHAHAHA!! Turns out KAMIYA won Best Personality!!! YESSSSSS!!! He certainly deserves it. DGS!!
Anyway, congratulations to all the winners! Looking forward to the result for the foreigners award. I don’t like how they only allowed you to vote for one person and they didn’t have any distinction between male and female. We need categories!! Or at least give us two choices, one male and one female. Since seiyuu aren’t as huge in the English-speaking world, this award would really be a popularity contest. I won’t be surprised if someone like Hirano Aya wins. Okay, I can agree with Fukuyama winning the Foreign Fans Award. Lelouch is pretty epic, afterall.
Hope they release a DVD! For the time being, reports and photos can be found at AV Watch and Akiba Souken.
