Yearly reminder that CR anime awards have always been:
1. A popularity contest. In the grand scheme of things, nothing wrong with it as long as you don’t take it seriously. 2. A (admittedly genius) marketing strategy and networking opportunity with Japanese publishers and producers. Probably the “true” purpose of the anime awards 3. They don’t and never will care about your salt and tears 4. Something that People will always complain and bash on but still will watch it Try to not waste y’all’s anger/sadness/happiness/emotions over this. |

Nothing more than a popularity contest amongst a certain specific demographic. Yawn

I only heavily agree with two winners. Bocchi the Rock for best Slice of Life and Idol for Best Anime Song. Most of my votes went to Oshi no Ko.

Kinda agree with you here. I gave almost all my votes to Oshi no Ko except for one category. I prefered Mushoku Tensei or The Ancient Magus' Bride S2 as best Fantasy instead of Demon Slayer and Buddy Daddies over Spy x Family in Best Comedy (as Anya is/was so annoying to me). But I am not complaining to those shows won big. I haven't seen them as the premises doesn't fit my personal tastes (so I have casted my votes to the shows I have seen). I dropped Spy x Family because of that annoying Anya after ep 12 of S1 and Chainsaw Man after killing off mostly the entire cast in just one episode. Next year, possibly "Frieren" is going to slay the awards. Last edited by Elfensjón on Sat Mar 02, 2024 9:24 am; edited 1 time in total |

Surprised in a good way Buddy Daddies won Best Original

I also voted Mushoku Tensei for Best Fantasy. Romance is what I always have the most issues with because they always have good choices. They didn't have The Dangers in My Heart so I picked Tomo-chan is a Girl because it was a perfect package of romance and comedy with an excellent ending that did it all in just 13 episodes. The dub was stellar as well, especially with Sally Amaki pulling double duty as Carol. If you stuck with Chainsaw Man then from what I've been told, the real heart break has yet to come because damn near every character gets knocked off except Denji, lol. I'm curious to see if that's true or not so I'm sticking with it. Plus it's the only action shounen series that I really enjoy. |

Vinland Saga got robbed! I'm starting to think that Shonen anime should get quarantined within their own category so other series can get some recognition.
 I don't think awards should be based solely on popularity. There should be some degree of objectivity factored in to water down the popularity bias.
This one irks me the most for some reason. There aren't much fantasy elements to Demon Slayer outside of the demons. It's just Taisho Era Japan so the fantasy world building is out the window and the Demon Slayers themselves canonically do not use any magic. The elemental attacks are all just visual expression. Not an actual mechanic that plays a role in the fights. So really as a fantasy it's bare bones compared to other nominations like Ancient Magus Bride or Ranking of Kings. |

Just rename it the Shonen Jump Awards and be done with it.

28 out of 32 awards given to shonen titles. Crunchyroll might as well stop pretending and just rename the whole thing to The Shonen Awards.

I guess the only awards left are Anime News Network's right?

All that pomp and circumstance (f*** you, Crunchyroll) for a popularity contest…but I will admit it was fun to see the people who worked on these shows, and match them up to the Twitter accounts I follow (like Kerorira — I’d never have guessed they looked like that).
Let’s be honest, though, JJK would never have gotten as many awards as it did if Crunchyroll hadn’t used the Shibuya Incident key visual. Many people were most likely voting for the entire season and not just the first five episodes (why were the first five episodes even nominated for Best Anime?). It’ll be interesting to see people’s reactions next year when JJK pops up again

Yeah, I think this proves we need an official awards for shoujo and josei titles exclusively, otherwise nothing will get recognized. |

And I thought the Game Awards were just a popularity contest, I mean, I can agree with some of the choices here, but these awards feels like free publicity for Crunchyroll itself, at least last year the winner was Cyberpunk, which was a Netflix-exclusive series. The only non-Crunchyroll related series that won something this year was Oshi no Ko, which I believe is distributed by HiDive outside of Japan.
Also, they still included that "Must Protect At All Costs character" category? I think I commented last year that it was a phrase that was sort of popular around tumblr and other sites more than 10 years ago, but I think it's just another way to refer to a "moe" character. I know that the use of the the term moe has been in decline, but that's what it basically means. Finally, as a Latin American spanish-speaker I'm glad that Emilio Treviño won best dub VA performance. Not just for Denji, last year he did a wonderful job dubbing characters such as Mahito Maki in The Boy and the Heron, Mikey in Tokyo Revengers. Miles Morales in Across the Spider-Verse, Richter Belmont in Castlevania Nocturne, Mark Grayson in Invincible's re-dub and dubbing Timothée Chalamet as Willy Wonka |
