Basil Anime Awards 2010: Nominations!

Please try to keep the thread alive until the nomination/voting period finishes :x
Counts are up to page 7 at the moment.

[header]Introduction and process[/header]
So this is probably the first large-scale Japanese anime awards here on BasilMarket... please [i]do not troll or flame[/i] in this thread, though you're welcome to discuss anime as such as you like otherwise.
Also, I would ask you if you guys would like me to make a personal recommendations thingy at the end of the awards? I know some of you guys still PM me regularly for anime suggestions o_O
Leave your comment on that at the end of your nominations/votes

[b]Voting will start today all the way to Friday, December 31 at noon Basil time. The results should be up some time during the weekends.[/b]

Rules
[*] Please do not vote more than once
[*] One [i]vote for each category[/i]
[*] [b]No flaming[/b]
[*] [b]No trolling[/b]
[*] No nominating titles in the wrong categories (i.e. One Piece for best Sci-Fi or Evangelion for best psychological of 2010)
If it gets way too out of hand, the awards may be cancelled at the request of me or a mod.

Also, I'll need some help from fellow Basilers for the tallying. If the personal "editor's recommendations" is approved by you guys, these helpers will also have some input in that section in recommending what they think is best of this year! ^^

I'll just need one or two helpers who has watched quite a lot of this year's titles, and has a very wide range of tastes. Most important of all, [i]they need to be very unbiased in their views[/i]. PM me with an explanation of your tastes and why you think you'll be awesome for the task if you think you're suited for the job! Inclusion of an MyAnimeList list would certainly help as well. As I would only need a couple helpers at best, no hard feelings if you didn't get chosen :X

[header]Categories[/header]
The awards will be broken down into sections with the categories in each section: 2010 and All. The 2010 section will feature what you guys think will be the best of [b]this[/b] year, while the "All" section will feature what you guys think are the best titles of all time.
For the Best of 2010, the categories are divided between genres and other categories such as visuals, audio, etc.

Please put your vote in this fashion, it'll definitely make it easier for me to tally
Best [Category] of 2010: [insert title here]
Best [Category] of all time: [insert title here]

Do vote for as much categories as possible ^^

I know it may be a pain to look up what's actually considered 2010, so I've take the liberty of doing that for you guys While it may not include EVERY title of 2010, it's certainly enough for Basil IMO. A text version of the list is available [url=http://tinypaste.com/cc1433]here[/url].

So post your nominations and vote for your favorite below! Please remember to make everything nice and organized so me and helpers won't have much trouble sorting out everything!
Make sure to vote for as much categories as possible, and suggestions on if the "editors' recommendation" section is worth doing ^^

Also, I do realize that this is a lot of categories; in the end though, some of the most unpopular categories will probably be taken out in the end.

With that out of the way, take out your voter registration cards and rush to the booths

Like the biggest disappointment :x
I would put Ponyo in the Fantasy/Adventure category instead, though, as far as genres go.
Should I just put it under best movie?

Also, I've counted up to this point. I'm thinking of taking off the categories with all single votes and ties bigger than 2 lol.
Also, any more comments on the "editor's recommendation" section? o.o
