Nah, judges are biased towards certain shows I assume. Cyberpunk won aoty last year and it's Netflix's exclusive

@Ur_DaD_Yuuta Yes, and we speak about Fall 2022, not 2023. Chainsaw Man from Fall 2022 was nominated

Maybe because It wasn't as popular as the other nominees. I watched the series just because I'm into isekai right now but I didn't see a lot of people commenting about it

1) it's a popularity contest

2) it simply doesn't stack up against the competition

they barely nominate isekais except the extremely popular ones. take Jobless Reincarnation for example.

It's a popularity contest. How do you explain JJK S2 winning all those awards but Vinlamd Saga going blank?

A similar thing happened with Mushoku, but it got nominated once after (part 1 didn't but part 2 did get nominated the year after)

Crunchyroll award? This is not on crunchyroll, not that popular, and has questionable stuffs.

Doesn't matter. Netflix's exclusive - Cyberpunk, won aoty last year.

Tell that to Bleach fans. They completely omitted and didn't nominate TYBW Part 1, just Part 2 was nominated. Why? These Kotaku "judges" are really biased towards certain shows it seems.

Doesn't matter. Mushoku Tensei was nominated and I bet it has much more "questionable stuffs".

Well they were so shocked by its performance that they didn't know what to do with it. , couldn't find a reward worthy of it.

Is it important for an anime to be given an award?! I think this kind of thing only causes riots among their hard-line fans to brag.

I usually like all type of isekai anime, but this one is hella confusing, yes there are many fun scenes but appart from that I never felt this lost watching another anime. maybe it's just me but I don't think so.

probably because this show isn't really that good. although an enjoyable watch it's not really a well written story or well animated but the sound design and the VA is phenomenal

what are you yapping about? I've just given my opinion on why it's not nominated. not forcing anyone to change their opinion or to drop it. I've also never said it was bad lol, you're just hella delusional.

on the other hand, if I'm "forcing" my opinion then aren't you also forcing me to change my opinion? lmaoo

It's popularity, but at the end if the day it doesn't really matter. If you enjoyed it, good for you. I certainly did.
