Vinland Saga huh? I guess if I found that it got an award a few volumes back then I would have been happy for it, but now I just wonder about whether they really couldn't find anything else to give a "Grand Prize" to. Or maybe the prize was just for the artwork? Then I have no complaints. Modified by fanty, 12-03-09, 2:25 AM |

I'm guessing it means that Vinland Saga was a series deserving of a Grand Prize until presumably a couple of mediocre volumes were put out. Now therefore it isn't a series deserving of a Grand Prize. Maybe they couldn't find any better series so they just gave it to this. |

Ah yes, it is that time of year isn't it? Great to see Summer Wars get the Grand Prize, especially since it reminds me that I need to watch it. Kind of surprised to see TM8.0 get an Excellence Prize, but then again good animation is the one thing Bones actually deserves to be praised for. |

Vinland Saga has overall been excellent, so shouldn't that make it deserving enough? |

I'm suprised to see all the negative reactions to vinland saga. I personally think its an great manga that definitly deserved the prize. Even i didnt find it that good as some ppl congrats to summer wars (and if its for its animation i totally understand that they win the prize) ! |

Someone needs to release Vinland Saga in English. I looked through the first chapter and it is definitely a series I wanna hold in my hands. |
