Did this last year and had fun with it, so let's set this up again. This thread is for everyone to look back at the shows and movies of 2012 and discuss what stood out for them as being the most impressive for you.
A couple quick notes:
Personally, for 2012 series I'm counting anything that aired a new episode this year: Gokaiger, Fourze, Garo MaikaiSenki, Gobusters, Akibaranger, Wizard, Power Rangers Super Samurai, and anything else that I don't remember or know about.
For movies I'm counting anything that came out this year (all the Gokaiger films, Superhero Taisen, etc.) as well as anything that came out last year but wasn't available as a dvd/fansub until this year (Movie Wars Mega Max, OOO Wonderful, etc.). If you want to include stuff like Ultimatum or Gavan that hasn't been available for viewing outside of Japan yet, go ahead.
Best New Show of 2012
Best New-to-You Show of 2012 (aka, what older series did you watch for the first time and absolutely fall in love with?)
Best Rewatch of 2012 (for those who rewatched one or more shows they'd already seen before)
Best Movie of 2012
Best Movie of 2012 that's not Movie Wars MegaMax
Best Male Lead Character
Best Female Lead Character
Best Male Supporting Character
Best Female Supporting Character
Best Actor
Best Actress
And, to try and separate the last six from "zomg, ______ is soooo hot:"
Biggest Toku Crush of 2012
Best Villain
Best Returning Character (Gokaiger cameo, Rider movie appearance, cast of Garo, etc.)
Best Suit Actor
Best Writer
Best Director
Best Producer
Best Visual Designer
And some more miscellaneous categories:
Best Hero Suit Design
Best Monster Suit Design
Best Weapon
Best Vehicle/Mecha
Best Fight Scene
Best Dramatic Scene
Best Song
Best Piece of Merchandise
Biggest Surprise
And, because not everything in 2012 was sunshine, rainbows, and foodroids:
Single Worst Thing in 2012 Tokusatsu
So, let me know what you guys think, I'm curious to read the results. I have my own picks, of course, but I'll post them later to avoid cluttering this post.
