Majoria's News Best of 2005 Awards

Best Game - Senko no Ronde
Mixing two popular genres, shooters and fighters, G.Rev brought us a wonderfully designed game, with special attention on the character/mecha design and backstory. Their decision to port the game to X-Box360 is a bit strange anyway...
Best Anime - Top Wo Nerae 2!
Much like in the original series, Gainax took the Super Robot feeling of the 70's, and gave it a modern spin, with adorable characters, stylish designs and beautifully written episodes. Maybe not for everybody, but it is a really, really good ova series so far.
Best Manga - xxxHOLiC
CLAMP's unique manga about the supernatural has stylish artwork, scary stories, and a small cast of very interesting characters, while it explores the magic side of Japan, with rules quite different from the real world.
Best New Ojousama  - Lili
From Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, a modern take on the spoiled rich girl stereotype, with an unique design that doesn't takes itself too seriously, and beautiful animations that are a trademark of the Tekken saga already.
Best New Meganekko - B Jenet
While not a new character, B Jenet got glasses in SNK's new dating sim for cellphones, Days of Memories, but later her official artwork was edited so they were removed. On the other side, the last pics of the game revealed have her with glasses again, so we don't know at the moment.
Best New Mecha - DaiRaiOh
From Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, the DGG-XAM3C Dynamic Lighting Over is not only a fabulous homage to Kamen Rider, but also an impressive looking mecha that won't dissapoint any Super Robot fan that plays the game.
Best Yuri - Shoujo Sect
Wonderful lesbic hentai manga, with great artwork, and sixteen lovable girls. Not much else to say, it's really worth checking ^_^'
