Live, from lovely suburbian Perth, Western Australia, it's The 1996 First Annual Seiyuu Awards =================================== Here, just in time with the Oscars, are the results of the first ever Annual Seiyuu Awards (let's hope we get a few more votes next year). A total of 11 entries were received (giving a max. total number of votes of 22), with the "Best Female Seiyuu" category receiving the most votes (20), and the "Best Seiyuu Song" received the most widely varying votes, with 16 different songs being nominated. A lot of people, when submitting votes, commented that they found it unexpectedly difficult to cast votes in even just the "serious" categories. I admit it took me a couple of days to truly consider my votes, the difference between what one considers "best seiyuu" and "favourite seiyuu" can vary surprisingly when you truly consider the factors. Some categories came up with some very interesting results, like the "Best H seiyuu" category being tied by one-timer Inoue Kikuko (as Nurse Tatase in Ogenki Clinic) and "if-I-ain't-in-it-it-isn't-H" super talent Akemi Takada. The inaugural inductees of the Hall of Fame were Inoue Kikuko, who led easily from start to finish, and Kamiya Akira, who came from behind the late Yamada Yasuo. For some categories, I have given two sets of results. For example, for the "Best TV Series Performance" category, results are given for individual character portrayals, and combined seiyuu totals (ie. Hayashibara Megumi received individual votes for playing Rei in "Evangelion" (3 pts) and Lime in "Saber Marionette J" (2pts) for a combined total of 5 pts). Finally, in keeping with the japanese flavour of the awards, all names (even those of English people) are given in japanese order. ^_^ Voting procedure: To recap, each category could receive two votes. The top entry would receive 2 points, the second 1 point. If you believe that two votes should be equal, they could be nominated as a tie, receiving 1.5 points each. Finally, if you felt very strongly about a particular vote in ONE category, you could nominate that vote as a wildcard entry, which would double the number of points awarded. The list of people who's votes were received and counted in this poll is at the bottom of the message. My thanks to Hitoshi Doi for proofing the spelling of seiyuu names and events (and their dates).
