:: The Official Academy Animated Awards - Vote Two for Best Animated Direction! ::

Hey, everybody. This is Nine XXVI and this is the start of the first ever (and hopefully not last) Academy Animated Awards.

quote:

The Academy Animated Award for Best Animated Direction is awarded by the members of the Paradigm City Forums to the director of animation with the best noted direction in animation. The award is presented to the winner, the animated director. The director and the anime series they directed the animation in are credited and listed below. The other three nominees of the category are also listed below.

You can check out the 2005 Academy Anime Awards Nominee Ballot here.
Peace.

2005: The Big O - Masaru Ota

• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
  
• InuYasha
  
• Samurai Champloo
  

2006: Samurai Champloo - Kazuto Nakazawa

• AIR
  
• FullMetal Alchemist
  
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
  

I don't really have much to say about this category but I think that I should have done a switch and nominated Big O for Visual Effects and Cowboy Bebop for Animation and Art Direction. Oh, woulda, coulda, and shoulda...

Nine XXVI's Picks: Big O, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Peace.
