Answer 1

I'll answer as many as I can think of (and everything I type is from my own viewing - I won't include the current populars Naruto or Bleach because I don't like them, and DB and DBZ just because of principle).

Best Anime - Rurouni Kenshin. Not too many animes out there that are based on real people and events.

Best Anime of 2006 in US - FMA hands down. That show has cult followings all over the world.

Worst Anime - I don't really have a worst anime, but I have a worst ending - Wolf's Rain. Couldn't at least *one* person have lived? Come on - they even killed off Hubb!

Best Anime Music - FMA's "Ready Steady Go" by L'Arc En Ciel.

Best Comedy Anime - Love Hina. I lost track of how many times Naru launched Keitaro over the roof.

Best Anime Character - Maes Hughes from FMA. His love and devotion to his daughter was sickening at times, but that dedication is what made him a well developed character. What happened to him in Ep. 25 (I won't spoil it) made me so angry for days that I didn't watch the show for a month.

Hottest Anime Character - Sha Gojyo from GENSOMADEN Saiyuki, not the other two later sequals. He is such a playboy in the first series, and takes his shirt of way more (drools in background).

Most Romantic Anime - Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X. It's sad in the ending, but Kaoru and Kenshin really do love each other.

Most Well-Drawn Anime - Trinity Blood. Those costumes! The hair! It's a cosplayers dream come true and worst nightmare all rolled up into one compact 24 episode series.

Most Popular Anime - 2006 was FMA, but 2007 will be a toss up between Trinity Blood and Tsubasa Chronicals (TC to be released this year sometime in the US).

Answer 2

1. Berserk - If you have to ask you haven't seen it. More intelligent than 99 out of a hundred shows. 999 out of a hundred anime shows.
2. Any and all harem animes. Most of the crap that we don't get here, as well.
3. Berserk - Because Susumu Hirasawa is a genius.
4. Every "idol" type song on every shitty masturbation anime ever.
5. Dragon Half - rises above the self-parodying "parody" genre and actually attacks something else (RPGs)
6. FLCL - It has style, especially the original manga, but god damn, this is just incoherent crap. And the dub is like a power drill to the ears.
7. Gatsu/Guts, or more appropriately, Goetz (I don't have an umlaut key) from Berserk. That's a character that actually got developed. He's similar to Kenshiro in some ways, but Kenshiro got pretty stagnant after his chick got killed.
8. too little memory/knowledge
9. Current: Fullmetal Alchemist - Apart from some fairly shitty setting elements, and it's faddish title ("Fullmetal this, fullmetal that.." what the hell. That's worse than the ">blank< no >blank<" titles of the 80s) it's pretty impressive. Ever: Hokuto no Ken. Other contenders would be more adult.
10. & 11. This is what is wrong with anime fandom.
12. This is pretty much an absolute, and I'd probably be wrong if I tried to answer it. If they ever make an Eden anime, it will be a contender.
13. ?
14. TV: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Feature: Howl's Moving Castle (though Ghibli will likely surpass themselves again)
15. Whatever it is it probably sucks. God damn most anime fans have no taste.

Answer 3

1. Gankutsou - it looks beautiful, the story is well-crafted and it has a nice balance of romance and action.
2. Trouble Chocolate (so I've heard from several anime friends)
3. Opening themes for Black Cat and Paradise Kiss
4. Opening song for Spiral - screeching worse than nails on a chalkboard
5. Honey & Clover - the opening sequence alone is like a mini-pysch test.
6. Japanese version of Super Milk-Chan - the English dub of the Japanese isn't very funny, but the US version is hilarious.
7. Can't narrow it down - Ayumu Narumi (Spiral), Spike (Cowboy Bebop), Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket), Claus (Last Exile)
8. Fruits Basket - I don't watch much, so I'm not sure if this qualifies.
9. Samurai Deeper Kyo
10. Hevn from Getbackers; Lady Cetcelia (sp?) from Kyo Kara Maoh
11. Genjyo Sanzo from Saiyuki - bishi bad boy
12. Elfen Lied
13. Air - heartbreakingly romantic if you watch the whole series.
14. Last Exile - With its flawless blend of CGI and traditional animation, it is gorgeous to watch (the story is good, too)
15. Naruto, I suppose, at the moment. As far as something I've actually seen, probably Full Metal Alchemist

Answer 4

1.Best Anime=s-cry-ed. I chose this one because it's really sweet how Kazuma, who isn't even related to the little girl Kanami, takes care of her and loves her like family.
2.Worst Anime=One Piece. Too childish, characters drawn ridiculously, and lame story-line. At least too lame for Adult Swim.
3.Best Anime Music=Inuyasha. I love the music they have for each character. It fits them so perfectly, and I could listen to it all the time. And the theme music is also really pretty.
4.Worst Anime Music
5.Best Comedy Anime=As far as I've seen, FMA. Though it is serious a lot, the funny parts are ALWAYS hilarious, and hard to control my bursts of laughter.
6.Worst Comedy Anime
7.Best Anime Character=Lust from FMA. She can be an evil psychotic woman who loves to take life, but she also has the 'heart' to side with the good guys and helps the plot move along in the direction the fans hope it goes.
8.Best Shojo Anime=Kamikaze Girls. I like how even though the girls come from different backgrounds and social scenes they still manage to overcome differences and become friends.
9.Best Shonen Anime=Ruroni Kenshin. Mainly because of the Samurai X OVA's. It is very touching, has very good drawings and animation, awesome action scenes and I really enjoyed watching it quite thoroughly.
10.Hottest Anime Girl=Being a girl, I'm not so sure so I'm going to say Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. She is just really pretty in my opinion.
11.Hottest Anime Boy=Kazuma from s-CRY-ed. Because in my opinion he is REALLY hot. Heh. Yeah.
12.Anime with the most gore=Trinity Blood. It's about vampires. Vampires drink bloods, so in my opinion that makes it the most gorey anime I've seen.
13.Most Romantic Anime=Eureka Seven. Renton pines over Eureka in EVERY episode. He has a huge crush on her, and nearly all the members aboard the Gekko State have a significant other.
14.Most Well-drawn Anime=FMA or Full Metal Alchemist. Not a badly drawn character or scene in the entire series, and I've seen every episode twice.
15.Most Popular Anime=I think it's between Inuyasha and FMA. Probably FMA now though because a lot of people say that Inuyasha just lasts too long, and there is no closure for any of the characters. FMA does have closure and the characters get what they strived for.

Answer 5

1.Gundam SEED- the first anime that actually captured my heart
2.H2- I don't like the drawing at all...
3.Gundam SEED Destiny- the music is the most original.

6.Worst Comedy Anime- none that I can think of, I don't watch that many comedy anime.
7.Best Anime Character- Auel from Gundam SEED Destiny
8.Best Shojo Anime- La Corda d'Oro
9.Best Shonen Anime- Gundam SEED
10.Hottest Anime Girl- Tifa from FF VII Advent Children

12.Anime with the most gore- Jiguku Shoujo (Hell Girl)
13.Most Romantic Anime- Honey and Clover I, II
14.Most Well-drawn Anime- Final Fantasy VII
15.Most Popular Anime- Naruto, because we all know.
