It is time to talk about the American Anime Awards.  This is the first year for them and there is already alot of controversy.  I am not surprised at this because of how they chose the nominees.  The fans did vote, but the first set of nominees were done by the industry.  The rule was for anything that was available in the US in 2006 Anime or Manga wise.  This wasn't things that were on their first releases.  This let things in like FLCL into the finalists because of it being available this year.  Also, Johnny Yong Bosch is among the finalists for best actor in a comedy for Akira.  Akira is not a comedy in anyone's stretch of the imagination.  I am disappointed about this and hopeful he doesn't win in that category.

Here are the Full Nominees, Bold is who I think will win.  Who I want to win in the voice acting categories will be revealed further down.
