By GodLen   |  Jan. 15, 2010


Our friend Nebs has found in the latest issue of Animedia Magazine the results of their 2009 fan popularity pole. However, instead of there being just the simple, “who was the best character of 2009” pole, there were more than 14 different categories to choose from.

I completely agree with The Selfish.

Anyone who thinks Nagi is selfish CLEARLY hasn't read the latest bits of the manga.

I think the fact that I only recognize like one of these series (FMA) shows how behind I am in the anime world

No surprise that K-ON almost sweeps the cute category.

Lots of Gintama, Macross and Sengoku Basara love. These lists are pretty close to what I would have picked. I'm surprised that Senjougahara doesn't show up more, though.

Nice, Roy Mustang got a spot on the cool list, just like he should. Although thinking about Mio beating him hurts my brain.
