K-ON!!, Amagami SS, Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, and Yumekui Merry had once been listed in TBS's exhibition entries at TAF 2011, but all of them removed on February 3rd. Amagami, SoreMachi, Denpa Onna are related to the Comic 10 Publishers' Society, who boycott TAF. The final decision whether to exhibit manga or anime is left to the authors.
Ishiguro Masakazu, the manga author of SoreMachi, revealed that he had made a strong protest against the entry list and TBS immediately erased the name and the illustration of SoreMachi next day. Ishiguro said he opposed to Tokyo's Anime & Manga Regulation Ordinance and resented the mistake of TBS.

Though what about Katanagatari? I think that would've been a better choice (It was aired on TV right? I don't really know).
I'm pretty sure Katanagatari were OVAs, they were released once per month.
Why don't you just use this site called MAL and look it up if they were OVA's? No they were not, they were just released every month because every episode was 45-50 minutes long. http://myanimelist.net/anime/6594/Katanagatari

happy about K-ON...sad how they didnt win best music though....on a sidenote they should refuse the award if they are truly against the ban
Or take the award and leave TAF ;D own.

... lie. I did know that, but I didn't think it would be good enough that it would win best TV anime. It was cute, more or less, but I don't know if it was "best TV anime" worthy.

all winners should decline to accept the shitty awards
I agree, they should not accept Ishihara's awards, his dirty, stinking hands created the bill that will destroy all of them entirely. They should throw the awards into the Pacific Ocean where they belong.

K-on haters are funny with their futile rants, but I have to agree it's not nearly the best of 2010. Whatever, these awards mean nothing anyway
Well, at least one person understands...
...and Katanagatari fucking where?
Katanagatari were OVAs, NOT a TV anime, so...
yea but my point was it didnt win any awards, much less "best ova".
although a few people have said it, im not sure why being a monthly ova would disqualify it from best TV anime category, didnt it air on Fuji TV in Japan?

>A pleasantly well developed anime surrounding a small group of friends growing closer together that anyone who has experienced close friendship can relate to, and has a demographic of viewers of all genders and ages
FUCK I HATE THIS BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
So yeah, celebrate Yojou-han's and stop whining over the K-ON! share.
Best voice actress for Aki Toyosaki is nearly all opinion, but the VA job in K-ON!! was undeniably phenomenal. I'm a bit disappointed Watashi's VA didn't win this category, but then again, he also didn't sing fabulous pop songs.

Toy Story 3 beat Summer Wars?
Why would Summer Wars be in the Foreign Film category in Japan?
Just goes to show that someone is not reading stuff.
No it just goes to show you that I am an idiot. I probably mixed up the two different competitions

I love the results, sorry to the cry babies.
They obviously hated it for their idiotic reasons and rant whenever it's mentioned.
To be Honest....K-ON!! was NOT the best anime of 2010, BUT....
It wasn't bad either, in fact it was pretty good, (better than the first season), besides who cares that it won.
This doesn't really do anything for it, other than annoy the haters to the point of wanting to shoot themselves (Which they probably should do).
Ok...then you're a HUGE fucking moron!!!
If you saw the first season and thought it was SHIT, then why the hell would you watch 26 episodes of season 2???
Oh, that's right I forgot that every hater is actually a masochist who like to punish themselves by watching shit anime so they can later complain in the forums.
Good job...
