[Rukia]

Not exactly my specialty, but I like the Supporting Actress choice. Rie Kugimiya always does good work.

[Graham Aker]

Best Lead Actress Award
Aya Hirano
(Last year's Best New Actress award-winner)
Affiliation: Spacecraft Entertainment
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya's Haruhi Suzumiya, NANA's Reira Serizawa, Death Note's Misa Amane, Lucky Star's Konata Izumi

Wooo, like that wasn't already obvious. ;P

[Lock Ree]

Masako Nozawa didn't win anything?

Too bad...

[~Shin~]

This sure just seems like another popularity contest.

Well I'm glad that Daisuke Ono and Hiroshi Kamiya won some awards. And nice to see Yu Kobayashi getting some recognition.

And I think Tomokazu Sugita deserves the leading actor award more than Mamoru Miyano tbh.

[Phoenix Wright]

How are the roles listed there for Rie "supporting" in any way whatsoever? Don't they have info on what show they won the award for?

[IchiTenshou]

can you re post the image. those dont work.

[Scum]

meh, disappointing results mostly. i'm glad Hiroshi Kamiya won at least.

And I think Tomokazu Sugita deserves the leading actor award more than Mamoru Miyano tbh.

that's what i was hoping for upon entering the thread. D:

[xpto]

Lol, Mamoru Miyano and Aya Hirano as the best lead. How un-predictable. :awesome
