Anime UK News Awards & Customer Satisfaction Survey 2015 Results

Eupho!

Yay, and thank you to whoever else voted for it. :p

The results seem pretty acceptable overall. Especially pleased to see how many people voted for MVM as best distro, it sometimes feels as if AL are the only company that gets people talking positively on forums. Especially sad that no-one else put Dagashi Kashi as their most wanted manga.

Good work setting this up and putting up the results so thoroughly, Ian.
 
Nice work Ian :D

I have completely forgotten what I voted for as my most-wanted manga (and indeed, anime - I think I chose unpopular series). The title of that particular one always stresses me out trying to resist putting the break one syllable earlier >_>

I had my suspicions.

There's some interesting results, but I think only two of my choices won.

I personally think it's a shame Blood Blockade Battlefront didn't do better in TV anime of the year, but that seems to be something you really really love or just find a bit "meh". Hopefully people will check out the Anime Limited release when that comes out.

I suspect it would have done a lot better if it had had a better stream. It wasn't publicised much in the UK and then everything went up super-late, which made it a bother to watch it if you didn't already know that it was worthwhile. Then there was the wait for the finale!

A shame since it was a cracking title and definitely the kind of thing that should do well in the west.

The English dub is excellent (maybe even a rare case where the dub is better than the subtitled version), so hopefully it will get a Toonami broadcast at some point and people will pick up on it that way.
 
I think a personal shocker for me was Miss Hokusai losing Best Anime Film to Love Live! The School Idol Movie. Although I thought the latter was a fun movie, the former is simply a phenomenal stroke of genius. I'm happy that both School-Live! and Food Wars tied for Best TV/OVA though; although I just personally couldn't get into Sound! Euphonium! and actually dropped My Love Story!.
 
The film category was a little awkward overall I think given general levels of accessibility compared to TV shows these days.

I would also prefer to decrease (increase?) the confusion by not having the break at all, given the all kana title, but it seems like people prefer it this way.
 
The problem with the Manga question is that the manga I'm most familiar with has already been released, and even when it comes to wanting to read the source material for anime, most of the time that source is an LN rather than a manga.
I think I named To Love-Ru Darkness. Not because I particularly like it, but for the morbid curiosity of just how far it pushes things (there's that one scan in particular...)

Viz Media can't even handle Shikamaru smoking in Naruto, so goodness knows what they'd do with the 12-year old fanservice in To Love Ru Darkness - even if they put it under their Shonen Jump Advanced label.

Something tells me To Love-Ru has significantly less appeal to children than Naruto.

They did leave the smoking in their recent release of My Hero Academia, vol. 1, so it's clearly not a blanket policy. (Then again, they do suggest My Hero Academia is only suitable for ages 16+)
 
With Naruto, they kept in Asuma smoking if I remember correctly, but the moment Shikamaru decided to (in Asuma's honour), that was apparently when the line was crossed.

True dat.

12 year old fan service? Jesus. Is that "pushing" things? Well if it is it's in the wrong direction. I would hope Viz don't include it.

but specifically titillating fan service isn't the same as just seeing naked bodies.
