Out with the old, in with the new. This weekend RABUJOI said goodbye to the last of the Summer series and Spring carryovers, with one exception, Mawaru Penguindrum, which will continue into the Fall. In all, it was a decent season, with lots of variety. We love the sense of completeness that comes with wrapping up a season – two in this case. Here’s a list of who won what:
• Best Overall Anime: Mawaru Penguindrum. Every episode has been excellent, in our humble opinion.
• Most Gore-tastic Series: Blood-C…the censors were awfully busy.
• Best Series Dealing With Sudden Parenthood: Usagi Drop. Really down-to-earth, heartwarming stuff.
• Best NEET Detective Series: Kami-sama no Memo-cho.
• Best Life-At-An-Inn Series: Hanasaku Iroha, which finished very strong.
• Best Telepathically-Controlled Mecha Action: Kamisama Dolls.
• Best Period Mystery/Action Series: Dantalian no Shoka.
• Best Goofy Superhero Series: Tiger & Bunny.
• Best Series Set in Paris at the Turn of the Century: Ikoku Meiro no Croisée.
• Best High School Club Series: Sket Dance.
• Best Post-Apocalyptic Series with a Number for a Name: No. 6.
• Best Shounen Series Where the Characters Were More Fun to Watch Than the Action: Ao no Exorcist.
• Best Score: (tie) Kamisama Dolls and Mawaru Penguindrum.
• Best Female Seiyu, Spring 2011: Chiaki Omigawa as Minko Tsurugi/Minchi (Hanasaku Iroha)
• Best Male Seiyu, Spring 2011: Hiroaki Hirata as Kotetsu T. Kaburagi/Wild Tiger (Tiger & Bunny)
• Best Female Seiyu, Summer 2011: Marie Miyake as Ringo Oginome (Mawaru Penguindrum)
• Best Male Seiyu, Summer 2011: Hiroshi Tsuchida as Daikichi Kawachi (Usagi Drop)
