Attack on Titan's ost is truly one of the best since Guilty Crown. Nary a dull song on the soundtracks.

Is that sarcasm? 'cos they're done by the same composer

 

[Doraku]

For some reason there are most obvious winners that I could predict even before this award started , nonetheless Misaka won Best Lead Female, so I couldn't complain anything, really.

 

[Claymore1]

I expected Shingeki no Kyojin to win favorite animation. I think it deserved too. Best soundtrack and animation are the ones that I wanted shingeki to win, I didn't think it would win (tie) best action. I also think Clannad should have won favorite romance.

 

[Kaiten]

Shingeki was not always well animated. Wit and I.G ran behind schedule, the first cour looked rushed. Too many scenes with minimal animation, close ups, and stills. Every episode started with a 1:30 long recap, always a time (or money) saving move. Too many flaws for it to win. The second cour was a lot better.

I love the guilty crown ost. Only ost from him that isnt as good or memorable is the kill la kill ost, though there are two songs on it that sound amazing when smartly used. Next year id definitely nominate the one who did medaka box, horizon, buddy complex musics.

First of all, thxs to everyone I really find it enjoyable

Nice that Gintoki & Olivier made it !!

Just maybe a suggestion, I was just a little bit confused with the openings finale : Snk Vs .... Snk . Well that's ok for me, but, maybe for next times, it would be better to avoid to have this kind of configuration for a finale, it's restricting the opportunity of others animes to compete. It's like having two characters of the same anime (like Naruto vs Sasuke ) but anyway it's fine ^^.

Two OP from the same show was probably coincidence. From my perspective it was not ideal, I abstained from voting in the finals. Fortunately, it is something that did not happen in previous awards, and only happened in one category this year. If, in the future, two finalists from the same anime happened more frequently, we would have to take a look at the rules. As of right now, for better or for worse, we would rather let the popular choice move forward.

Attack on Titan is the most overrated anime since Guilty Crown

Guilty Crown is a favorite of mine, but I really don't know any major anime commnity that had it as overrated.
