| Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei totally deserved it. And The Climber! <3 |
| Tatami Galaxy and Historie winning the grand prizes is a really good thing for all the experimental, mature and carefully-crafted works created in Japan these past few years and I see it as a kind of accomplishment for the style. What's more, "It's for the first time that a TV series wins the grand prize of the award.". |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Great win for Tatami Galaxy. :D |
| Awesome. Youjouhan was really good. No wonder it got the prize. |
| It sounds kinda interesting. |
| Great news ^^ |
 |
| Congrats for the prize winners. Now, where are my Mai Mai Shinko subs? French speakers sure are lucky. Colorful is excused as it won't be out on DVD yet, while I want want to see Wakaranai Buta (In a Pig's Eye) pretty badly now. There's a bit more info about here, if you are interested. I'm guessing that the excellence award means that Wakaranai Buta can be added to the DB now even though it's a "doujin" movie, so I will try to do that. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| The JMAA don't always get it right, but most of the time they do as this illustrates. It's great to see the best anime since 2007 getting some love since I get the feeling it probably didn't in terms of DVD/B-R sales. |
| nicely done man |
| Well...of course ^^ |
| Hell yeah. |
| Fantastic news! Yojouhan definitely deserved this award seeing that it was one of the best Anime this year. It's nice to hear it's that appreciated. |
| Well, since they only award animation here and not story etc, it seems deserved to me. Still, don't really care about Yojouhan. Seeing Bokurano manga on the list is more important. |
| well their art is really good |
| The Tatami Galaxy really deserves it i like the art and animation as well simple but good |
| i should watch it people mostly liked it |
 |
| Congratz really happy that Tatami won =) Just was a bit short still hoping for season 2 to come =) |
 |
| yay for Mai Mai! <3 |
| cool, it was certainly an interesting watch |

| Yay! Tatami Galaxy is OWNING!! F*CK YOU Angel Beats, Suzumiya Haruhi, and Arakawa Under the Bridge. Those 3 are just bullsh*ts compare to Tatami Galaxy. |

Durarara!! is better. I'm not sure if you meant what you said was really "ok"(What's the reason of the question mark on your "Uh..ok?") Assuming you do agree with me that Tatami is better than the 3 bullsh*ts, and those bullsh*ts belong to judge's recommendation. But Durara isn't there on the judge's recommendation. Therefore, Durara isn't better than three bullsh*ts and it is wrong to say Durarara!! is better.... at least in the judge's point of view. Ok? Oh, I used ok and question mark correctly isn't it? Again? |

| I would've given it to Eve no Jikan personally, but Yojouhan totally deserves it too :O |
 |
| Nicely done. |
 |
| I've seen that anime before and it's really good! It's great that it won! |
| Finished Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei a while ago. And it really deserves the award. :) |
