Baku_Sensei (Level 10)

As much as would love to let myself become completely biased and say Fairy Tail, Bakemonogatari blows it out of the water. Excellent art, music, character, animation, and story (NISIOISIN is a friggin' genius).
 
I would give Fairy Tail the best long-running shonen show award, despite it not running that long yet (talking more about the style) and for completely biased reasons (I love it)
 
Best Manly Anime of 2009: Sengoku Basara. Do I need to say anything more? OYAKATA-SAMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
 
Best Crazy Anime of 2009: Basquash. I don't know why, but I loved it. Up until episode 9 anyways.
 
Baku's favorite manga of 2009: Bakugan. I just read everything they have out right now and holy crap, it's amazing. And my name is in it
 
Best thing watched in 2009 without it being released in 2009: Hajime no Ippo. Thanks to Ebzero for introducing me to the series.
 
Worst Series of 2009: For this, I went with something I have actually watched some of. It is not a reflection of the show, but just my personal opinion of it. Natsu no Arashi
 
Series that never seemed to live up to its hype: For me? Pandora Hearts, sorry. Couldn't get into it no matter how much I tried. Also, Shangri-La, but I plan to watch you one day.
 
Best Male Character of 2009: Araragi from Bakemonogatari. Vampire-level healing? Check. Bitchin' girlfriend? Check. Pseudo-harem of an odd cast? Check
 
Best Female Character of 2009: Senjougahara. 2009 was the year of Senjougahara Fascination. 
 
Best Moment of 2009: Acid Tits in Queens Blade ep.1.
 
I'm typing these as I think of them, so keep checking back.
