Trying something new today. Talking about current anime-community happenings. Let me know if you guys would want more! This didn't disrupt the normal video schedule, btw. I made it in about an hour. Proper video this coming week!

Up at 6 in the morning just to see a battle of Demon Slayer and JJK for awards. Who the hell organized this man?😭

I still don't know how Demonslayer keeps winning Best Fantasy when it's basically just vampires in our world.

A lot of times these award shows whether anime, movies, games or otherwise focus more on popularity than quality

I think the Anime Awards moving forward need to stop ONLY considering the public's votes, and instead bring in some actual animation professionals, writers, musicians, and directors as a panel of judges whose votes are more important than the public's. If we're gonna keep seeing popular/overhyped anime win JUST because they have so many fans who are spam-voting, shit's gonna get boring real fast.

Vinland saga s2, link click s2, Eminence in shadow s1, bleach tybw cour 2, dangers in my heart, mushoku tensei s2, also got robbed as well, and then people want to know why others prefer anime corner awards over crunchyroll awards lol

Out of curiosity, I looked back on the nominees and winners for 2023, and it's the exact same. The only difference is that attack on titan sweap instead of jjk. They didn't even nominate bocchi the rock for best art direction, but they nominated demon slayer. And it won.

they invited many guests that are 'anime fans' most of them just naming main stream media. but they didn't invited any content creators of anime or related to that.

People thought Jujutsu kaisen - shibuya arc So people vote it

This is what it would be like if marvel movies won all the academy awards when they were more popular, I can't really critize an anime i haven't seen, JJK seems to have good animated fights, but is it really that good plot wise to win all these awards? Definitely feels like a popularity contest. Heavenly Delusion got nothing? Vinland Saga? its nuts

I think the biggest problem with the whole JJK Sweep thing was the Miscommunication about the Hidden Inventory Arc and The Shibuya Incident, JJK rightfully so did deserve some of those rewards won but there’s just this miscommunication that the community itself confused it with ALL of Season 2 and not one part, I totally agree that It should’ve been pushed into 2025 than squished into this year. Crunchy Roll just has to take it back and redo their whole show to fix the multiple holes it has.

Chainsaw man underperformed (probably because everyone forgot about it yay for 2022 anime in 2024), but ignoring CSM. The most popular anime on MAL won 18/23 of the awards. It's so bad.

The fact that demon slayer was even nominated and the fact that it won for best fantasy is probably the worst thing about the whole thing demonstrating both how bad the nominations are as well as how it's just a popularity contest where the voters don't even vote for the thing the show is nominated for. Demon slayer is barely a fantasy having one race of superhuman villains who aren't really all that interesting when it comes to their power set and how that fantasy race is integrated into the show's world is absolutely terrible as far as halfway competent storytelling goes. And this won best fantasy?

I really love how some people only got mad at DS but not also at JJK that also ROB at least 3 awards Vinland Saga (Anime of The Year) Heavenly Delusion, Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man or Vinland Saga (Cinematography) Chainsaw Man or Trrigun Stampede (Character Design)

Dont forget the fact that the judges dont even have to watch all the anime that's nominated, even though their votes are more weighted 😭✋️

Really enjoy the off the cuff style you’re experimenting with here. A nice laid back vid I guess you could say

Great video please consider linking the videos and the websites you have been shown in the description in the future content, Also I hate personally the idea of a 100% fan vote award I believe it become the most popular show, not the best show, etc.

You can’t tell me jjk s2 was a better anime OVERALL over Vinland S2. There’s no way! And by the way I have JJK over Vineland on My Top 5 favorite anime. But we gotta tell the truth!!

Im also mad theres no shoujo category for us shoujo watchers 😢

This is a #hashtag CERTIFIED POGGIES BANGER video, certified by Matterfied

Time zone? It was hosted in Japan. But for every other problem, replace every instance of where you said "Crunchyroll" with "Sony" and it will all make more sense. It is literally just an ad for Sony products and nothing else. Every winner was associated with a company that Sony/Crunchyroll has had a hand in. It was rigged from the start, the winners were chosen so long ago the judges and voting public don't even matter. It is literally an ad that will play out exactly how they wrote it.

Apparently in one of the announcements it mentioned jujutsu kaisen s2 for both the hidden inventory arc and shibuya incident, but I thought crunchyroll don't count fall season for their anime awards, because shibuya incident aired in fall 2023, this is proof that jujutsu kaisen s2 winning all its awards including anime of the year was rigged

Thanks for tha video

To me, he double dipping possiblity is probably the most aggregious thing about the awards show. Love the off-the-cuff style videos!👌🏾 Something a stuttering maniac like me can definitely not do anytime soon😂 Keep up the good work!💪🏾

As much as I love jjk and im very glad it won, I wholeheartedly agree with this video. Vinland, which came out in Jan of 2022 (according to MAL cause I dont remember when it came out) vs JJK that just came super recently. JJK was obviously going to sweep! Also what about Bleach? I was absolutely floored when I didn't see it on ANY nominations.

Make it so one account can't vote multiple times for an anime! (ie. If you vote for Gojo as best character, you can't vote for JJK in any other category anymore. Would make it 100000x more fair)

I completely agree

Mushoko, Mob , Vinland these were the main ones i was sad about and for movie Personally i loved Slam Dunk more and well i get it , Slam Dunk is not popular with western audiences and at least Happy Bocchi got some awards .

I personally like that they organize it this way. Okay, in my country it is not that painful. It started around 10-10 pm. But yes, the translating was awful. But I also think that some people might rewatch the VOD. I watched the whole award show twice already. I watched the live "alone" and I was interested in one youtuber's reaction, so I "rewatched" it while I was playing. As for the JJK thing, it's not the first 10 episode. It's the first 5, but yes, they didn't communicate this. In previous years there were also cour 1 and cour 2 nominations.

I think you titled the video incorrectly it’s the jjk awards

Crunchyroll never stops shiting the bed if I didnt perfer to watch anime on my tv or just as something in the back ground wail doing lab reports I would have unsubcribed a wail ago hell when the price jumps or when they fully intergrate ai sub titles even if i often watch dub because wail im pro ai im not pro ai replacing peoples jobs and giveing us a worse product just for the company to save money

Re zero season 3 should get top of the list though 😭

JJK deserves all praise it got! Thank you animators that worked on S2 you all deserve the world for your hard work and dedication❤

While there were problems with Hell's Paradise, overall I think it's okay to be there since plenty of times I feel that it was great. Probably had more great art direction moment than Oshi no Ko. So instead focusing on the fault, probably focus on the good part and you probably can see why it is being nominated. Personally if you tasked me to nitpick, I probably can nitpick on every show listed there and find their faults. As for time, well, it is good for me. I live in South East Asia so time is not a problem. I understand that it is a problem to those in the west, especially in the US, but at the very least it was in Friday night/Saturday morning! You have no idea what people in Asia had to suffer when those in the US or shows focusing more on the west have to do their show like in Sunday night. For example, I like to watch Formula 1 and MotoGP and sometimes they have races that were made to cater the US more, which in turn the races start at like Monday 2AM, 3AM, 4AM etc. It was hell! I'm actually fine if a show started at midnight or in the morning, as long as it is on Saturday or Sunday. As for the actual event, I think it is normal for it to be done at that time in Japan and afaik they rarely do things like this on Sunday, so it is a compromise. They can prerecord it, but honestly, it probably will ended up being leaked, thus might be even less people watch it. It is overall a compromise. They probably can the production quality issue, but probably not the time as long as they want to do it in Japan. Maybe move it a bit like 2hrs later is possible. As for the judges, while I do agree that there are definitely some misses, but you ended up comparing it to The Game Awards which also have misses which one of the obvious one is Forza winning sport/racing category which obviously the judges probably doesn't really know the other nominee and ended up picking the ones that they know. I think that's all that I want to say. I mainly want to complain about your take on the airing time thing and give different perspective to it.

at least meg ATE

Livestreamed on Sony’s official channel but scuffed audio. That’s a tech company, right?

I mean people are just gonna vote for what they like even if it wasnt deserving of that specific award.

I watched it live... ended at 7 AM.

Erm, clearly you don’t understand the intricacies of Nezuko’s voice-work. I’m appalled that she didn’t sweep all language categories

I feel like people should be spreading publicity to awards shows done my industry professionals in Japan. I personally don’t know of any, but I find that they could probably give better results and have better crafted events than western ones. Although I doubt that Vinland Saga would win, but still

I can understand the Vinland Saga being disappointed but not when they start saying that other options are trash I'm sorry

the weirdest part of the translation "dub" was that... it was actually not a live translation. You could hear moaning guy and AI lady voice saying stuff ahead of time than the Japanese person several times and yet they fail to translate several bits...

mid placements + bungo & vinland robbed + my awards better

Literally 90% of the best shows of the year were barely here, even without the influence of the fall season cut off

Subtitles bugging At 2:02 “Tackle on titan”

The fact that the panel had most of the voting power makes jjk winning mostly everything even worse

Heavenly Delusion won nothing… damn. The cinematography was so good and it lost to… jjk. At least im not alone in my suffering

Luffy winning next to eren and thorfinn is borderline illegal

the fact that they included jjk here but not bocchi and csm last year is an actual crime

Nice points TBH , and yeah the time was shit and 100% i would have watched live but will not bother with VOD

I've had awards on 12:00 so it was ok

just bcuz vinland saga has no enemies doesn't mean it has to be the anime of the year.....jjk won bcuz it actually deserved for so many reasons (im not a jjk fan)

Vinlands sagas mangaka was the only one to show up

I was gonna watch it but didn't even know it aired until I came home from part-time work in the afternoon to find out it started when my shift started and finished an hour ago. Last year was probably just as bad with live dubbing done by a woman with a thick japanese accent so nobody could understand, music not done by the actual band (I remember Homura and everyone asking where LiSA was) and nominees and awards just as atrocious. Woo Demon Slayer best fantasy won against Mushoku Tensei twice.

L Crunchyroll

Mobile suit gundam the witch from mercury got robbed & hell paradise vinland saga also got robbed

I haven't watched Demon Slayer but isn't it mythology and not fantasy?

I like these new video concepts

i'm so mad mob psycho 100 didn't win anything man

never watched one I'll be honest

I think its partly on the judges selection but also on the anime itself. There's like 50 anime a season airing and not only can the judges not watch all of that but most of it is just garbage.

Hahh It's shounen again!!!!!!!!!!

How can demon slayer win best animation against chainsaw man and jjk2 especially demon slayer s3 ??????

As sea gang u actually lucky not to witness how notorious how this event was ..all was popular anime r nominated not many anime aside for in the award...this more like shounen /normie award funny enough i don't watch 90 percent of it cuz most that nominated are shounen which is my least favourite.. I don't watch aot..juju..demon layer...spy family..

Sorry to hear that the live stream is not convenient in your time.... but westerners are not the only audience. Still, I do not agree shonen animes won majority when there are more desrving to win

its sht ever since years ago lol

All the people that decided and created the entire system for the anime awards are just retarrds

The anime awards are rigged

Gojo is not, and never was a supporting characters
