Crunchyroll is never going to sponsor me

PLEASE let the Echidnut Anime Awards be a yearly thing

The best opening award is always near impossible to choose from in my opinion, the majority of openings are masterpieces.

Thank you for giving Ex-Arm the award it more than deserved.

"Romance is my favorite genre, tied with fantasy, even though they're the same thing." This one absolutely killed me xD Keep doing what you're doing! Always looking forward to your videos.

Roxy being best supporting girl is based. Fuckin love the flashback on all the “praise” Roxynut gave Roxy

Lmao the crunchyroll awards tried to make it look like they had good taste so they just stuffed oddtaxi into every possible category, completely sidelining mushoku tensei, vivy, re:zero, and to your eternity. Like oddtaxi is amazing but please at least give mushoku tensei something lmao. The worst thing is that they nominated jjk for anime of the year again, even though it literally WON THE AWARD last year. It wasn't even split cour... they also nominated eren for both best protagonist and best antagonist lmao. Thanks for actually having good taste Echidnut.

I was agreeing with all those genre awards and then Redo Of Healer winning Anime of the Year caught me so off guard lol😂

Notification gang. Cant miss Echidnut for anything! 10/10 Taste

Echidnut made me come back into being weeb again.. he made me fall in love with isekai genre in general and introduced me 2 of one of the best animes i have ever seen (mushoku tensei and re:zero).. his jokes makes me genuinely laugh and he is the only anime channel i have notif turned on. Lots of Love and respects to you my guy

Emelia is the one character I’ve seen so far who’s Japanese voice and English dub voice could be twins. (As they should be more often in anime.)

Listin man Otto was such a best boy in the second part of Re:Zero that he got on the cover of a light novel. That says something about otto considering light novel covers are reserved for anime waifus.

Ok ok ok.... but we can't deny veldora's Kamehameha made him a top runner in the side man category.

When echidnut made an anime awards my initial reaction is "So how many awards Re:zero gonna win"

I was wondering if anyone was ever going to mention Sonny Boy again, so I'm glad it got an acknowledgment, even if it was for only 3 seconds. I was one of my personal favorites this year

Love you for including shadow's house, it was one of my favorites this year due to its setting and the ending was entirely on another level from others, prob the first anime to watch the whole 24 minutes of it

Crunchyroll should really hire Echidnut to do their awards for them

The best anime awards i have seen. Crunchyroll you guys should pay echidnut to do the anime awards each year.

In the end, Echidnut's takes always have me nodding in agreement. Much love for the Idaten OP (and Nino)!

Most accurate tier list so far, thanks roxynut

How on earth did oddtaxi not get nominated for anime of the year on that website? That is insane. Although Mushoku Tensei is number 1 for me, oddtaxi is a close second. I really hope that crunchyroll doesn't exclude it in their awards.

Me when he said #2: Oh, I thought MushokuTensei would've gotten a spot in the top 5 (I figured 1 would be Re: Zero) Me when he said #1: Oh wow, what a pleasant surprise! Me when he said #0: Yep, should've expected that.

3:34 ok you've won me over 'best girl from date a live' thats all i needed to hear u have my subscription and like

You always make this entertaining! I had a hard time picking my anime of the year but its also nice to see what other people thought as well

3:10 for me, best girl is undeniably vladilena millizé, its somewhat close between her and vivy but the female character thaat realy had an impact on me this year was vladilena, eris is also a great contender for this title personaly

If only "to your eternity" would have finished as good as it started , then it would have been the best anime of the year

Thank you for the quality content you gave us last year! More power to you and your channel!

CR AWARDS 2022 NOMINESS ARE HERE! Lets compare the Virgin CR with our Chad true best boy Echidnut; Best Boy Shinei : Not nominated Best Girl Emilia : Not nominated (then they complain she is a bad MC female and Rem supremacy blabla but when they have an arc for her character development she is forgotten) Bonus point for no Rudy or Mushoku Girls nominated ...simply anticontroversy pussies) Best soundtrack ReZero/Shadow House: Not nominated Best OP Idaten : Not nominated Best Romance Quintessencial Quintuplets : Not nominated Best Drama ReZero : Not nominated Best Anime ReZero/Mushoku : Not nominated Sikeeeeee At least they nominated Echidna as antagonist of the S2P2, because..ye..she was the real antagonist there.

The Awards are actually amazing.

I love how you watched both Idaten and Shadows house. Very underrated anime that are some of my favourites in 2021. Thanks for giving them the spotlight they deserve!

Amazing video!

It's tough man. I agree with most picks on your list Echidnut. So many shows deserve the "AOTY" award because so many of them were unique and creative in their own respective ways. For me personally it has to be Vivy. The show had some breathtaking visuals and animations (specially the fighting scenes) along with beautiful OST's. Vivy herself was an amazing character and the development she and Matsumoto went through the series was done well and pretty naturally if you look closely into it. The plot was incredibly intriguing and had a sarisfying end not to mention the insane plot twist that made my jaw drop in episode 10 (the ED foreshadowed it in a clever way). Side characters were also done well, it's one of the few animes which made me care for majority of he side characters even if they appeared for 1 to episodes because all of them (yes even the andriods and other robots) felt human and portrayed to think their lives actually mattered in the society of Vivy's world. The last episode was tough to watch (specially with the whole Vivy on stage part) and the lyrics of the song in this episode beautifully concluded everything that happened in all the previous episodes. Truly one of the best anime originals and anime as a whole I've seen in a long time. Wit Studios and everyone on board with this passion project did a beautiful job and this show absolutely deserves all the success it could get.

Vivy was my favorite anime original. Congratulations for being an anituber who actually watches anime, mad respect

Lmaoooo When you said number 2 aot I was like "hold up... There's two anime to put up and only 1 place left" Btw. You really are the funniest KZfaqr I watch kek, all your jokes land so well and I love the deadpan delivery

I'm always amazed by how much you make me laugh in your videos

first video watched by you and you got me chuckling

My top 5 based on how much i look forward to watching the next episode each week: 1) Mushoku Tensei 2) Re:Zero 3) 86 4) Vivy 5) To Your Eternity

Thank God, you talked about that bread scene in mushoku tensei. That was straight up one of the best animation of the year. That didn't even add up to the story, but they animated that 7 seconds for no reason and it's frickin beautiful

Nicee fun video as alwayss

masterpiece video!! you are so funnyyy

I really like your analisis with how you say stuff about all the honorable mentions and take into account that only the second part of s2 or ReZero happened this year... Although I do think Subaru might have not went through as much character deverlopment there, disregarding him because of that is weird, he was still very badass and the second parts of the arcs are always satisfying because that's when you actually see how the deverlopment changed him

"2021 is the best year of the year" Me: Yes. the floor is made of floor

yay echidnut is back

Great taste, agreed with most of your selections, rare to find someone with similar taste to mine. I've only watched 80ish new animes for 2021. Anime you should've watch? World Trigger S2 and S3. Easily from those 6, second choice would be Yuru Camp S2, but S1 was better.

I'm a little sad that 86 didn't score higher. It could just be not having a resolution till the end of the winter season '22 for this arc, but I am absolutely loving it. This year is absolutely the year of Mushoku Tensei but as the progenitor of an entire category it may have had a slight advantage.

That Endind REALLY got me. I was mad confused when when rezero wasn't there at all. But ya boi always comes through in the end.

The speedrun anime of the year really fucked with me Thanks for a great year of content Echidnut

Amazing video dude. Always waiting for your content😍

World trigger.. went in with no expectations and it quickly became one of my all time favorites. If you can handle some shotty animation in the first season. Absolute master piece

That "victory" with Emilia was so funny 😂😂 3:39

Man 😂 the amount of times when I'm watching your videos I exit out just to make sure I've liked it and then end up regretting that I can only like it the once

“The best taste on the internet” indeed. I love your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼

If *Ranking of Kings OP 2* had come out this year, it would have won anime OP of the year hands down.

"Siesta has a pretty good character design, but that's because she's cosplaying as best girl from Date-a-live" Finally, someone else who can comprehend the excellence that is Tobichii.

Hey thanks for the song suggestion, Nai Nai is a total banger that I somehow missed.

Damn I feel sad that 86 didn't even get to the top 5. But I can see why as all the other anime are equally as good. My top 5 were 1. 86 (yes I know it didn't finish, but I still love it) 2. Vivy 3. MT 4. Horimiya 5. Komi-san or Vanitas

I swear this channel is so underrated. Hillarious as always, keep up the good work!

Bro never stop doing KZfaq your videos are so unique and makes me die laughing without fail😂 the Roxy part really got me

Ending was awesome. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the hentia recommendations

Aw yes. I was about to sleep even though it’s in the middle of the day. Thank you echidnut, hope you had a good New Years.

The best VA of 2021 is Yumi Uchiyama (Rudeus). The most controversial MC of 2021 unexpectedly voiced by a woman. And Rudy is also the hardest charaxter to voice in 2021. From the start of MT until the end of MT which is the end of Yumi's role, sadly I have never seen she get the appreciation she deserve especially from MT fans.

I found this channel randomly when it like just hit 100-120k smth… I didn’t check the subs and after watching the video…I thought this guy would have like atleast 600k-1m subs cause if the editing, video and audio quality, jokes etc… This channel is massively underrated.

I didn't expect Sonny Boy to get so much recognition, absolutely loved it.

this video was hilarious! loved it! and I did agree with the majority of your awards so yeah, awesome. Hope to see an Echidnut anime award on the future

Thank you Echidnut for blessing us with this 14 minutes of impeccable and refined taste Plus a special thank from me cause I started watching mushoku tensei looking at your channel

great video !!!!

You sir was the first youtuber to ever mention witaten. Gained a sub!

Odd Taxi is still my pick for anime of the year because of how it managed to feel complete within a single season. Been a long time since ('ve seen one like it

Your commentary always makes the video hilarious keep it up

The fact that fruit basket did not win any awards is a crime, it’s honestly the best show I’ve seen this year despite all the good shows like mushoku tensei

As a fellow connoisseur, I approve of your highly refined taste in anime. Bravo!

14:12 ...they got us in the first half not gonna lie

Dude, totally agree with Idaten Deities opening. That was 🔥. Wish the series was a bit more popular

Dude I love your videos, really you just make my day better Love from Italy 🙏

NinoBros RISE UP! Great video like always Echidnut!

Your videos are just so damn fun to watch It never fails to make me smile.Thanks bro

That content is some good shit, good shit right there 100% Keep doing what you're doing, Echidnut - love it

You are probably the funniest youtuber i have seen in years, please keep up the good work

❤️ ur best youtuber of the year in my books

I feel like To Your Eternity was forgotten. You ranked it higher than Vivy and Odd Taxi in one of your tier list videos (I remember because I didn't think anything would top Vivy, and IMO, nothing did). Maybe it didn't stand out in one category, but it deserves a mention at least.

World trigger is my recommendation. Seriously a top tier shonen and it's strategic and smart not just power level and nakama

I'm relatively new to watching anime, just over a year, so I didn't know about the Crunchyroll anime awards. When he said that the awards are gonna suck like last year, I just kinda chuckled a bit, because I didn't really understand. but after looking at the nominations for pretty much every category for the CAA, I can understand where he's coming from.

Been watching your videos for a while now, this one earned you a sub

Yet again, you have created the best tier list in existance

You just forged yourself a like on this video. I usually don't like videos on KZfaq but the end of the video was sooo perfect that I had to smash the like button.

The commentary was exceptional 😂😘😘

0:42 one on the top right was a very special one ( link click ) It has an incredible concept and it has suspenseful elements that can give you goosebumps tingling right down your spine. The characters are great and there was an episode that made me freaking cry real bad I rated it a 10/10 I watched it a long time ago so I really don't remember anything that went wrong with it at all, not that I think there even is

Thanks for spotlighting shadow house, it was VERY underrated. Also,the singer of it's ending, ReoNa, has many other excellent songs, check it out if when you get some free time, its totally worth it!

I wonder if anyone has seen "The aquatope on the white sand" I heard nobody talking about it and for me it was clearly one of the best Slice of Life (with a bit daily Drama, how it should be) i have ever watched. Im so curious why nobody noticed it ^^

You are one of my favorite anitTubers. Keep up the good work

best youtuber of the year award goes to : Echidnut :)

'The best year of the entire year" -Echidnut 2022

Best anime YT because you actually watch the anime airing 😂

Found your channel today and already subscribed xD i have NEVER found someone that actually likes echidna as much as me LOL amazing video tho keep making good content

Let's go some actually good rewards

Rimuru is far from being perfect, he just has a lot of people helping him. A lot of the things he achieves wouldn’t be possible were it not for people like Benimaru, Shuna, Souei, Diablo, and of course, best girl Raphael.

For the Anime you have not watched I CANNOT stress enough that You NEED To watch Fruits Basket. While the Final Season easily surpasses anything I season 1 and 2 presented they are also worth watching BUT it'll all be for the Finale in the End the older season were VERY hard entertaining and wholesome with a lot of character development, Romance and slice of life moments along with a bit of mysterious aura to it; BUT when all the mysteries were revealed and the Finale came into action the Anime DID NOT stop pulling on your heart strings and the ending of this journey Literally Made me cry AN ACTUAL HOUR NON STOP(Fuelled by me watching all the openings and endings again which made me remember the whole journey but still it was 1 hour). So yeah just Watch it. Please.

dude you deserve more subs man....

I feel like your videos are better than many anime themselves
