Demon Slayer sure took the dub here. But tbh there were better choices imo.

Nice to see demon slayer, it's opening, it's director, it's voice actors and it's characters and especially my Nezuko at the top, it is really a great show.

I- Gurenge above I beg you??? HUH??? How is Banana Fish not the best TV anime, it was waaay better than Kimetsu no Yaiba. And best female character Nezuko??? She didn't do anything in the first season, Sakura was so much better. Also, Tenki no Ko and Heaven's Feel 2 were oustanding movies, how did Promare win? God these are bad, worse than the Crunchyroll anime awards.

heavens feel gets a lot of recognition which it deserves

Mar 5, 2021 2:06 PM by FateMadMan

It was mediocre at best and I’m still salty

Oct 22, 2020 11:47 AM by God_I_hate_mal

This... is certainly a list. Can't judge because I haven't seen most of these, but the fact that Persona 5 and Index III got on here is hilarious (they even placed over SnK S3 lmao).

I also expected Mob Psycho II and Kaguya-sama to be within the top 10 best but I guess it's not as popular in Japan?

Overall the awards are fine, Demon Slayer characters being on top is strange but I guess it's just that popular.

Nezuko is not cute at all

Jun 22, 2020 4:15 PM by Minum_bang

I really can't believe on how bad this ended up :
1)Best female character nezuko? She almost did nothing the entire show.
2)Best male character tanjiro? He is the shounen protagonist i have been seeing all across the decade, torfinn outclasses him in all possible ways.
3) best theme song Gurenge? Really? "I beg you" seemed to outclass it by all means.

And PLEASE change the titles of "best" to "mostpopular" as clearly this is just opinionated and strays as far away from facts as possible.

Wholy sh*t, what a ridiculous list.

Nezuko as best female character? I would agree if you'd put her as in the Best Pet category.
Akari Kitou is her seyuu??? HAHAHAHAHA
Also why is Saber in the running, she's not really a character in Lost Butterfly.

No characters from Mob Psycho in the shortlist or MP100 as a whole anywhere for that matter, best show of the year by a few miles with a lot of great characters.

Promare, hmmmm, WAT??? Also screenplay, was there even a screenplay?

This is worse than the crunchyroll awards.

The mediocrity cap keeps getting lower.

"Best studio category withdrawn", this just keeps getting worse.

Ummmm.... WHERE IS DORORO?

Dec 30, 2019 3:18 AM by Swindie

AOT and SAO smashed it this year. Demon Slayer is more popular. Is it cuz of 1 ep?

Dec 28, 2019 9:36 PM by Biswa_29

all the banana fish and sarazanmai awards are well deserved. these are two outstanding anime

Dec 24, 2019 2:53 PM by falafelfalafel

The winter season of 2019 and 2018 had some of the best anime I've seen... Yet here we have this list practically ignoring TPN and Kaguya-Sama. Like, come on. You can do better

Nov 24, 2019 3:39 AM by lovelylily678

I´m glad Bungou did pretty well this year, too. Kimetsu deserves praise, indeed, but it´s quite exaggerated putting Nezuko´s seiyuu as the best. I mean, she has a cute voice and make her funny mumbles, but actually had very few lines for real. I know Morohoshi won last year, but I´d rather see her in this place. Not really because of Kyouka, I think she was great as Emma. And for some reason, I don´t like Promare... Such a weird name. I thought it was a game, not an anime.

Oct 31, 2019 9:21 PM by HitsujiOu

Aot is still my best but the others anime deserved it too so it's fine. BTW WHAT ANIME IS PROMARE? DON'T TELL ME IT'S PROMISE NEVERLAND?! 😌 didn't know it's has a short name

Oct 31, 2019 6:35 AM by Aratamacken

Very happy for all the well diserved rewards for Sarazanmai!

Oct 30, 2019 12:42 AM by Ununpentium

A sad fall of attack on titan popularity

tenki no ko lost ? Why ? I know promare fun and exciting but tenki no ko more popular

Oct 29, 2019 9:38 AM by KMSpico

Garbage awards doesn’t mean anything AOT is AOTY and no one can change that because it’s a fu**ing fact

Oct 29, 2019 6:50 AM by H-X-H

Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 was the best among those in my book!
