Best Anime Feature : Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

FMA. Good start. Stupid after the second show.
Samurai. Just boring.

fairydulest should be happy about johnny bosch's nominations...she adores that guy



...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, i agree about advent children. but some people hate that movie for whatever reason...

its johnny thats why!

and i hated that movie cuz i hate sephiroth and cloud, both are emo little girls

If I hadn't just added the Mortician quote that would be sig'd right now.

Sig'd anyway, it was too good not to.

I am not sure how they determine who gets nominated or what, but I would have to throw the guy who does Vegeta for Dragonball Z in there...can't remember his name. I think he also does Piccolo, can't remember.

The voice actors for Project ARMS are fantastic. And, just so you know, the Japanese voice actor for Major Mokoto Kusunagi is much better....the American one is good, but she doesn't match up to the Japanese version.
