Man, that's a tough slate on the TV side.

Looks like Shirobako might be 2015's TV anime of the year since it already won Animation Kobe Television Award.

That's a pretty tough looking TV list. I haven't seen Your Lie in April, and I've only just watched the first couple episodes of Shirobako, so my pick has to go to Osomatsu-san for now.

Osomatsu will most likely win being realistic. Japan are head over heels for it |

Your lie in April should win, hands down.
Although if this is a business decision, which is likely, then I don't see YLIA winning. It's a finished series based on a finished manga, while One Punch Man is still ongoing and the hype could pave the way for a new season. Mr. Osomatsu, of course, is hugely successful commercially. |

Really?? Really?? Ugh... I can't be the only one that thought that thing was heavy handed and did not know how to properly pace its mood. Whatever, having classical music and a tragedy tag does go a long way, I guess. |

How does Expelled from Paradise qualify yet again, didn't it win some award last year? Doesn't make any sense but I guess there was just that much of a dearth of what they figured were worthwhile nominees. I know it says November 2014 for some reason which is an insanely long qualification time but still this is the last time that movie should be acknowledged in one of these I hope already. Anyway Shirobako, Boy and the Beast and maybe Osomatsu aside some pretty dreadful picks. Too me it should be obvious but if it's otaku deciding or being decided to curry favor otaku just about anything should happen.

For movies, I'm hoping for Love Live. Only one on the list I'm not really sure about is Expelled From Paradise (Good movie, but not 'award winning' good)
For TV... well, anything but One Punch Man really. Still disappointed that Hibike and Yuri Kuma (My personal favourites of last year) didn't get a nomination but neither of those shows were particularly popular so I can sort of see why they would overlook it. |

Yes, really. People have opinions that differ from your own? Gasp! How dare they? The nerve of those filthy plebs! Anime fag---I mean fans, sure do have a hard time coping with their massive egos. And easily dismissing something with juvenile, condescending remarks is right up that alley. |

Shirbako and Osomatsu-san are the only two show that deserves to win the award for the TV category.

I don't know IMO at least as far as the last sentence goes he has a point and I've felt that way for a long time too. It just seems really easy to amass tons of critical acclaim in this medium by telling a story about a dying girl and then having her bite it in the end while the show tries to do everything under the sun it can to get the viewer to cry. I never got what was so especially amazing about stories like this or Clannad or AnoHana or various other "crying anime" as I call them other than that having that distinction seems to automatically qualify them as instant award deserving masterpieces in many peoples eyes pretty much every single time. Frankly it gets kind of tiresome seeing people throw a bitch fit and freaking out on a guy every single time they decide to think for themselves and say what's on their mind even if the increasingly hive mind like anime community hasn't sanctioned it as a worthwhile opinion. These "crying anime" seem to attract some of the most defensive, victimized and insecure fans time after time as well. You know what though, sometimes people can say not so positive things and still kind of have a valid observation or point after all. I mean it's not like he's actively attacking or strawmanning anyone in particular and defensive fit of rage as the quoted post is. Not sure what is considered those things mentioned in the quoted post but I'm pretty sure he did exactly none of them and isn't the one being juvenile or condescending.
Not at all. I actually enjoyed it at first when it seemed like it was going to be about the music, but like I feared it gradually became more and more about that for me tiresome brand of weepy teen melodrama that plagues so many anime and drags them way off the course of what I'm actually interested in and into the land of cheap emotional manipulation over a frankly overly tread topic of dying magic pixie dream girls. Anime is also like about the only medium I can think of that rarely if ever seems to want to have just a normal straight romance or relationship between a male and a female character and it's super awkward for it too. Typically the lead is always this wishy washy type and the female is either dying, already dead and a ghost, some kind of unreachable prodigy, some kind of girl with a terrible personality and outlook that nobody in their right frame of mind would ever like to be around or all of the above and you'd almost never guess a lot of the time that any sort of relationship is ever meant to be anything other than platonic or an excuse for extreme tragedy or comedy. |

I'd consider Shirobako a 2014 show myself, but under these conditions, I think it would be what gets my vote.

That year SAO got the award, the year after that was Attack On Titan, So this year will be One Punch Man, no problem with that.
Best film will probably be The Boy and the Beast judging from those sales (and the closeness to Ghibli's style) |
