The First Annual Jellybean Awards

Yukari: Yeah. Well, actually, just the nominees right now. It's scary, thinking about what'll happen when we actually hold the awards...wear flame retardant clothing.

Dilandau: We have 26 categories with four nominees each in various areas...best manga artist, best villain...

Yukari: Biggest wingspan, best catch phrase...

Dilandau: The list goes on. Anyway, to vote, copy and paste the category and the nominee you're voting for into an email (and please send all your votes in at once, not one at a time) and send it to me as soon as you can.

Yukari: We'll tally up the ballots over the course of the voting and post the results and the ceremony when we're through. Now for the nominees! Go on and check it out!

Dilandau: Whew! Lotsa nominees!

Yukari: No kidding! Now, for any of you curious, we had too much time on our hands, so we counted up who got how many nominations total. So, here goes! The following people got one nomination: Merlock, Ryoko, Matt, Lady Eboshi, Miaka, Ashitaka, Cherry, Moru, Kero, Allen, Nakago, Hotohori, Yui, Amiboshi, Chiriko, Brock, Bloodberry, Akashi, Hangata, and the Firey Card.

Dilandau: Those who got two were Lime, Li, Xellos, Nabiki, Touya, Ryoga, Pikachu and the nameless villainess. Tomoyo, Van, Folken, Naria and Eriya, Lina, and Akane all got 3.

Yukari: Chichiri, Ranma, and Team Rocket each got 4, and Yue, Dilandau, Tasuki, and Merle got 5.

Dilandau: And finally, the prestigious honor of being nominated most goes to Nuriko, with 8 nominations!

Yukari: Next we totalled up the individual anime nominations. Tenchi Muyou got 1 as did Flint the Time Detective, Digimon got 2, Princess Mononoke got 3...

Dilandau: Saber Marionette received 5, Slayers got 7...

Yukari: Pokemon had 8, Ranma 1/2 got 14....

Dilandu: Card Captor Sakura had a total of 19, Escaflowne had 21, and Fushigi Yuugi was the most nominated anime with 28 nominations!

Yukari: Which is impressive since there are only 26 categories.

Dilandau: Yeah.....okay. Anyway....special notices!!! We'd like to congratulate the Firey Card for being the only card to be nominated in the whole show!

Yukari: And Slayers, for making such a major show, considering Dilandau just saw a whole tape this weekend, went on an internet spree and fell in love with Xellos and Lina and basically the whole show without even seeing the whole thing...

Dilandau: I have a sword, you know.

Yukari: It still confuses me how a karate place would willingly arm you.

Dilandau: Just lucky, I guess. Anyway....and lastly, we have to congratulate Seki for being the only guy on the seiyuu nominee list and for voicing half the male characters on here...Van, Touya, Chichiri....we excluded Tracy, but the list does go on.

Yukari: Well, go on a vote, already! We're done! It's late. We're outta time.

Dilanda: That means leave. (*Waves*) Have fun and happy voting! Be sure to come back to see the results and see the first Jellybean Awards Ceremony! Sayonara and by-eeeee!
