| No wai. |
| Hello! |
| I'm a little confused here. What criteria are they choosing for nominations of series? It's not like any of those series above have been recently released. *Shrugs* |
| i agree with all of these |

dtshyk said: Best Shojo: Vampire Knight What? Possibly one of the worst shoujo I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Nice to see DMC up there though. Can't say as I agree with any of the other choices. |

| wtf happened in the shoujo category :/ Loverhina said: dtshyk said: Makes sense.The nominee were chosen from the titles licensed in France Edit: I wonder if the titles licensed in France is limited. Actually, I've noticed a number of impressive titles not available in US that are out in France. I don't think that's it. |

| Vampire Knight as Best Shoujo bothers me... |
| Shojos (or girls?) are really going down on quality. |
 |
| I like DMC, but i think Saint Young Men is better, such a pity. |
| "In 2009, in a survey asking its respondents "which manga do you think is the most interesting?" in a pool of 6000, Kuso Miso Technique came at 11th, beating popular manga such as Gintama and Detective Conan." Wiki |

LolitaDecay said: Mari-chan said: This. But NANA winning something is awesome.Vampire Knight as Best Shoujo bothers me... I agree. It's a shame Ai Yazawa's sick at the moment too. :( I think the Best Shoujo category imploded on itself, no wai should Vampire Knight have won that <.< |
dtshyk said: Best Shojo: Vampire Knight Best Series Adopted from a Manga: Death Note Best Original Series: Elfen Lied wtf? |
| I wonder what the other nominated Manga/Anime were. I haven't read Vampire knight so far, but I know Fairy Tail and... honestly there are besser Shonen Mangas out there. What where they thinking? O_o |
| lol @ Elfen Lied being original anime. Good anime though, but lol "original" |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| Lol, French people are weird, at least they had Makino Yui over =( |

| Don't forget : The nominee were chosen from the titles licensed in France and the winners were determined by online public votes. That means it's a popularity contest. Not everyone visits sites like MAL, most people that read mangas or watch animes only know about the things everyone and their mother read/watch. I live here in France so I'm not surprised at these results, though I didn't know that there were that many people who like DMC. I don't care about the anime/manga distribution in France anyway. x) |
| Yays for DMC and Death Note XD Yeah I disagree on the Vampire Knight thing too |
