Thank you, Dernhelm.
I thought it was possibly fans since it was similar to one ANN posted a couple yrs back where Paku & Ishida again placed very high if not at the top.
I figured one voted on by the VA's themselves like the Oscars would have had a different result-maybe some deceased VA's would have made the special categories like Shiozawa or Suzuoki.

i think it was part fan, part executives. there was an online voting poll after all.
i also think it was the jury who handled the final selection of nominees.

I still don't know who was on the jury, but here is some info from 2channel about the organizing committee for the whole process: the chairman is from the seiyuus' association but works for the 81 Produce agency, which represents two of the winners. The vice-chair works for the Tokyo Anime Center (on whose radio show Miyata is a personality) and for Shogakkan publishers. Other members are from: Kadokawa (which publishes Suzumiya Haruhi), Bunka Broadcasting (which broadcasts Asano Masumi's show), Tokyo University of Technology (2), Tokyo Anime Center (3), and one more each from Bunka, Kadokawa, and 81 Produce.

The dance of corporate back-patting was probably involved, but I think they balanced it fairly well with straight merit. Many people associated with all those organizations did not win, too. And I don't see a rep of Aoni, the agency that had three winners.


If it is true that there is also vote from the industry then it's a totally different thing. can anyone give any concrete evidence that it's not just a fan-opinion-poll? i know there's an online vote option (where i voted from) and people can also vote in japan in different locations, via magazines, etc; but is there any official information about the judgement/jury thing?
