The Top Ten Most Profound Statements Coming out of the Akars



10: Spike from "Cowboy Bebop": So, I won an award. That'll round out a good year. 9: Pikachu from "Pokémon": I didn't get smaller, the pictures did. 8: Jim Carrey: I couldn't even win an Akar. Who do you have to blow in this town? 7: Kenshin from "Samurai X: OAV": Well, we were all up against a lot of stiff competition, but we pulled through and that's all that matters because when it comes right down to it, it's all about team work, and it's all about celebrating the community, working together, because we all do a good job, we're all winners, you know, we're family, and we got to stick together, because the competition was hard, and we're surprised, frankly, I thought that little punk from "Gundam Wing" was going to get it. 6: Rupert Murdock: Anime as we see it now, it's boring, no one's watching. Get Vash, Hayami and that little nipper from Cowgirl Befunk out on the Australian outback with a day worth of food and a stick of dynamite and we'll get a bubblegum crisis worth broadcasting. 5: San from "Princess Mononoke": I'm very proud of "Princess" winning and I'm proud of Miramax for refraining from cutting down trees to make posters advertising the movie. 4: Sawa from "Kite": My success in anime has been extremely advantageous to my big screen career. I'm in Woody Allen's next movie starring Rob Lowe and Jeremy Irons. 3: Mima from "Perfect Blue: Now I really feel like people take me serious as an actress like Madonna and Courtney Love. 2: Joan Rivers: They're fake, they're all fake. I tell you, if these girls went down with the Titanic, they wouldn't have been out of life rafts. I feel like I'm seeing more ass than a toilet seat tonight. 1: Hiko from "Samurai X: OAV": The goal is not to win for once you win someone now stands to defeat you. However, "Cowboy Bebop" can kiss my ass. You hear that, Spikey, "Samurai X" won best screenplay! In your face, bean stalk.
