Best of 2006 Award (Nominations)By David Rasmussen 5th Nov 06  The Best of 2006 Awards WELCOME TO MONTH ONE of FIVE TOPIC - Best of 2006 Nomination Process (voting month) Welcome to the Best of 2006 Awards. For the past few years to date I have been running an in-house yearly awards (depending on which “house” were talking about) called The Best Of Awards. Originally started when I was working over at CWN a few years back, it is presently moved on to my new home in www.animeboredom.co.uk (2nd year running)… so let’s get to it. A few notes on each… This year I’m introducing a new award in the Anime category, for Best PSP UMD Anime of 2006. Broken up into four categories the option of voting on PSP UMDs is new in the awards. Also this year the Manga category sees the return of Best AmeriManga of 2006 as there is more than enough viable selections this year to warrant it’s return, as previous years lacked any breakout titles to warrant it’s appearance. Nominations are simple, really, for every category given your allowed to nominate up to a maximum of three titles per category. When the year ends I’ll gather up the nominations and the top five go-getters of each category will move ahead to the final voting (January 2nd 2007 to the weekend of the Academy Awards, upon which the Best of 2006 Awards will be picked and announced (more on that later)). For now here are the categories you’ll be voting on. Look at each and consider how you’ll want to vote (one vote/e-mail per voter please). Best of 2006 Awards Nominations process. Nominate three titles per category (maximum), however three nominations are not necessary and blank categories are OK (if you don’t have any nominations for a particular category). Just go over to the Forum board, check the Manga to Go section and look for the Best of 2006 thread (simple). Remember to do it all before December 31st, 2006 deadline though! Nominees for each category will be announced in January (the start of the voting for Best of winners). OK, the categories you’ll be voting on is… Best Manga Best Manga One Shot or Anthology One Shot Best Manga Series (2 to 4 Volumes) Best Manga Maxi Series (5 and up Volumes) Best Manga Company Best AmeriManga Series Best Anime Best Anime One Shot/MOVIE or OAV Series Best Anime ½ Series (13 episodes) Best Anime Season (26 episodes) Best Anime Maxi Series (30+ Episodes) Best Anime Live Action Series Best Anime Company Best PSP UMD Series Best PSP UMD Movie/One Shot Best PSP UMD Mini (2-3 Episodes per UMD) Best PSP UMD Maxi (4-5 Episodes per UMD) Best PSP UMD Company Optional Voting Category Requests Question - Can all of you out there find any hentai on PSP UMD format? The Japanese can have it but apparently US/Canada release of these is forbidden (evil), (though maybe Europe has access to these), but if enough people say they’re getting ahold of it and (thus) can vote on it I’ll change my mind and put up a category for it. Requests for a Best Hentai PSP UMD format category (and three nominations maximum for it) must be in by the December 31st deadline.
