While we continue to wait on the cosplay judging, the awards for anime music video and fanart were handed out.

Yuna from Final Fantasy X and cat-girl Merle from Visions of Escaflowne.

Aerithchan as Lulu from Final Fantasy X in her signature victory pose. She really did a great job with that array of belts in the front.

Two different simultaneous takes on the cosplay limbo. That's yours truly in the top left corner in a photo courtesy of CosplayLab.com. The Prof, who took that photo, is in the top right corner of my photo.

A smiling Gendo expresses his love for his son Shinji? Surely the world is coming to an end. To the right we have Rei and Fuyutsuki, also from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

As the cosplay awards finally start, Muraki and Hide are nominated as fan favorites due to the rousing applause they received during their appearance.

There was no way the judges could pick only one of these three lovely ladies for the Most Kawaii award so they were all called up to accept their award.

Below, Farfie and Neu get the best fight award.

So who should get this bottle of, um, blue stuff for the biggest balls?

Anna May Belle scores an entire box of the stuff.

The Silly Hat team gets the Best Skit award as they once again give Gendo the beating that he so richly deserves.

And finally, Shirahime from Angelic Layer is awarded the prize for best overall costume.
