No KyoAni award contest this year, returns next year for the 10th awards. They're making some changes but not saying what kind yet.

Given that the awards are basically glorified writing contests and in the years it has existed there's been a grand total of one winner, this isn't exactly surprising. There's probably only so much Kadokawa rejects they can get, and most of them probably already did the web novel route.

I think Tamako is hands down the best Kyoani girl.

>>160091762
I never implied it was, I'm just saying that most of the entries were probably Kadokawa rejects.
>>160091096
Maybe making it an actual open writing contest and actually picking a winner this time?
>>160091808
Well I suppose that you're right there. I hope that at least some acknowledge that having their novel licensed by Kyoani is better than having it being licensed by Kadokawa, probably.

She's definitely the cutest
Bankruptcy incoming.
RIP in peace KyoAnu.

I'm no industry effort, but I know that they've really caused problems for authors in the past. I think it was mentioned that they would sort of manipulate what an author writes too, but honestly I don't have a source on that.
I usually start talking about Shaft here. But you posted one of my favorite shows.

I've been saying this nervously for years but it hasn't happened.
>>160092400
They could always make more K-On.
