I started off snickering.

Then I figured, "What the hell, I have a little free time!" and started reading the comments. The guffaws progessed into full-scaled laughter by the end of the first page.

Lol

I love how it only gets recognized at a convention where people basically suck SquareEnix's cock.

LOL. I dont watch too much anime so I wouldnt be able t compare it to other anime flims lol. Im sure it might have looked the best, but not the best overall anime movie.

does it really count as anime?

I have no clue lol.

ive seen my fair share of anime films, and in my opinion my fave was advent children, but thats only because i am a hardcore FF fan. I could see summin different like naruto winnig instead, or that sort of anime. It was good, but not goood enough to win, is what i think other people wud say :/

I dislike you intensely, and that is quite a feat considering you only have 8 posts. Seriously, you are like a concentrated mass of pure cuntishness.

I'm amazed that no one brought up Akira; that classic is usually the one that introduces most people to anime. Personally, I think it would have been a little biased if something like Naruto won.

I'm pleased that AC won, but I think either Ghost in the Shell or Steam Boy would have been a better fit.

i am a hardcore FF fan

If you really are a "hardcore" FF fan you should have realized FF Advent Children shouldn't be in the catagory of "anime" much less actually win an award on "anime".

Well this says alot about anime and games nowadays doesn't it? How sad.

Why did it win?! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know anime that is infinitely better than Advent Children. Hey wait a second...IT's not really anime! What the hell is going on?!

What the hell is going on?!

It's the fanboys doing what they do best. They're masturbating all over something with FF7 on the box.

show proof of that.

show proof of that.

Only if someone shows me proof that Advent Children is in the category of "anime" to begin with.

As far as I'm concerned, it was a CGI Movie that no reputable reviewer has bothered to comment on.

BTW, read the fanboy comments on the link. You'll find things such as, "yay, great film for all final fantasy fans, specially those who have played FF7" and "FF is Winner" being drowned out by an overwhelming number of posts commenting on how weak the movie is.

I watch Sephiroth vs Cloud at the end and it doesnt seem to get boring for me lol, FFVII is Best in series and tats a FACT.

If you hate ignorant fanboys then you should avoid reading these comments. It gets worse as the pages go on.

anime films allways sucked in my own opion if anyone cares. probly not. they basicly can amke anythign happen and theres to much jumping in AC

Even though I liked AC (fangirlism and such, sue me), I was surprised to find it on the 'best selling anime' list in Newtype. It is not an anime. I don't get why people classify every animation/ CG from Japan as anime.

And as much as I liked the movie (mostly battles though- the plot, well...), this is truly something to laugh about:

"beautiful film but crazy hard plot for new comers"

...that was a comment from the article. Was there even a plot in there somewhere?

There is a plot, but it's a tiny bit convoluted; first you have the geostigma, then there's Kadaj and his gang trying to find Jenova among other things.

That's one interesting point someone made, since when is CGI considered anime? Perhaps if there was an aforementioned category, the award would make a little sense, but it makes me wonder what was considered for this category out of curiousity.

Obviously it was stuff that could be beat by Advent Children... does such anime even exist?

Or it could have been a huge congregation of fanboys/girls and the only film considered for the category of anime was Advent Children. The winner was Advent Children, much to the surprise of the masses of useless fanboys/girls.

But it was an anime. When you think about it, though the tools be different there are actual artists here who've constructed images. In truth they've animated them using a computer in the stead of a paint brush. It shouldn't have won though, or should it have?

I cannot believe this steaming pile of shit won in the face of Hellsing Ultimate (exponentially better than Advent Children on every conceivable level).

Wait, was Hellsing Ultimate even on the list of things that could be voted for, or was Advent Children the only title on the list?

I second that.

There are far better anime's that come to mind. Akira, Spirited Away etc.

I was limiting it to recently released anime, but yeah.

no way... seriously. what? huh? no. just... no. NO! do they watch anything except ytv? there are over 100 different shows released per year and they chose AC??

it was not a stellar film for sure. and i seriously don't think it counts as anime. even live action sailor moon is more anime'd. i say. It was a disapponting ending for the game that forgot an ending.

what. the. crap.

These were the winners of each category presented. Generally being a FMA fan I'm glad they cleaned out the house, and I'm very pleased to see the Major took Best Actress. If FLCL didn't take short series, I don't know what would and it covers the comedy part as well. Everything that won deserved to, except the FF7:AC shit is fucking terrible, anime my ass.

Best Cast: Fullmetal Alchemist

Best Manga: Fruits Basket

Best Actor in a Comedy: Dave Wittenberg

Best Anime Theme Song: "Rewrite," Asian Kung Fu Generation

Best Anime Feature: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Best Package Design: Fullmetal Alchemist

Best Short Series: FLCL

Best Long Series: Fullmetal Alchemist

Pretty much every film made that is based on a video game has been utter shit, I did not expect AC to be any different.

Gina, pretty much that entire list you posted is absolute bullshit. It's like two guys sat down to write the awards and just spooged all over their favorite stuff. The whole thing is amateurish, inconsistent, and wholly lacking in credibility.

What it lacks in credibility it makes up for with Cloud getting shot in the face.

AC getting any sort of recignition is insane, otherwise it seems fairly ok to me D:

that was funny

Too bad the bullet bounced off his invincible goggles.

I'M SORRY CAPTAIN POOPFACE WASN'T IN THE RUNNING.

Technically AC looked pretty good but thats all about it

However you guys look at the movie it's self doesn't matter as much as the visuals. It was a ground breaking animation, deserving the award if only for that. Now stop your whining!

Spirits Within had better animation.

May be true in some cases. SOME CASES.

I tried to see that and I think advent had better animation.

Even though I hated both movies, Spirits Within had better animation for many reasons. One of these being that the character models in SW didn't have outright linear motion as the models in Advent Children.

I see lots of anime/manga elements in Advent Children. I think Nomura even mentioned that the fight scenes sort of had that kind of style... like the Tifa VS Loz one.
