good question if i remember right they do not have it but who knows this year

the reddit r/anime awards have both the jury vote and popularity vote though

edit:

scratch that crunchyroll have jury votes too like 70% weight for the jury votes

Winners for each category are determined by the most amount of judge and public votes weighted in a 70:30 ratio respectively since at least the 6th edition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crunchyroll_Anime_Awards

It's sad how few of the nominees you can actually watch on crunchyroll.

best category: Drama because there's Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction
worst category: Action because Dandadan is bad but the other options are worse

Perhaps the one thing that prevents me from having nostalgia goggles was the fact that I was there for some of the first CR awards, and I remember all of them sucking.
This one, no differently, also has a pretty Reddit line-up.

I've been mostly forced to vote on anime I didn't watch (But yet, isn't what I do in this forum all day?).
Also, the English titles, blergh. A few days ago someone shared the discussion thread of TTGL's episode 1, and there were people who naturally referred to FLCL to Furi Kuri. I miss that, I fucking miss that, please send me back.

I feel like there are several anime last year that had much more interesting opening sequences than Kaiju 8, Mashele, and Solo Leveling. Similar for the ending sequences. Kaiju 8's were mostly still images since it's just someone looking at photos on a computer, Solo Leveling was uninteresting animation, and the Oshi No Ko ending song is nice but again the animation sequence they put to the music is uninteresting.

@thewiru

When the first couple of CR-Awards happened you weren't even allowed to drink, in some parts of the world :)
Nobody cares what you think about Shows that you didn't even watch. Shut up.

How can most of these awards suck, when you, by your own admission, don't even know what you're talking about, half the time?
They don't. And if they do -> You don't know why.

Also:
You used "differently" when "different" would've been correct.
You're a silly goose :)

LMAO, you look so dumb saying that, I still don't drink.
I guess you weren't expecting that, huh?

The ones that I knew what I was talking about sucked, and those new ones show so sign of improvement, so...

I haven't had much time to catch up to newer anime these past few years, and so I only voted for 4 categories.

I wanted to vote for Shion Wakayama for the Best VA Performance (Japanese) category as well, but I'm not sure how good those other Japanese VA performances are compared to her VA performance, and so I skipped this category.

Where's Orb?

"A majority of the season aired on television or online in Japan between October 1, 2023, and December 31, 2024, at least in part."

What does this mean? Literally half the season aired within the eligibility period. I think "half" qualifies as "majority," but maybe not?

Or do they think Orb doesn't deserve a single nomination...?

EDIT: Blue Box, which also aired in the same period, is nominated for Best Romance. I guess none of the judges liked Orb enough... :(

Also, who are all of these people whose opinions vastly outweigh everyone else's? https://www.crunchyroll.com/animeawards/judges/

I would say it can be a Frieren sweep, but Dan Da Dan and Apothecary Diaries can spoil that.



Best ED should have been Makeine (ED1) or Frieren (ED2)

I only vote for Konosuba and Girls Band Cry. Fuck the rest, oh I like Ranma's ED.

PS. How to unvote btw? I don't particularly fond of Euphonium 3rd season. It's weird that they put it in slice of life genre not drama lol.

I don't agree with a lot of these but given the confines of what was nominated, this is fine, I guess

Public Service Announcement:

Some of the nominated anime are free-to-watch on Crunchyroll for a limited time. I'm currently watching Girls Band Cry for free at the moment.

Unfortunately, some anime are only partially available for free users. Dandadan has the first episode locked to premium (just, why...) while the rest of the show is free. Re:Zero S3 is completely butchered, I see 5 free episodes randomly sprinkled throughout the season. So your mileage may vary.

They don't say this anywhere, but I expect this to only last till April 14, when the voting closes.

So if you're temporarily unsubbed from Crunchyroll like I am, you can save a few bucks while checking out some stuff you missed out on last year.

Shout-out to Train to the End of the World, if you're up for some weird madcap comedy. The whole show can be watched for free.

Given Crunchyroll's bias towards battle shounen, I have a feeling that either Solo Leveling or Dandadan will take the crown this year. Unless the jury has been packed with die hard Frieren fans.



And with how Vinland Saga ended up last year, I fear that The Apothecary Diaries shall walk away empty handed. 😭

I'm more interested with the conversation around the anime community that the awards fuels. I personally find fascinating to witness. As well as the calls for a greater variety of shows on the ballot instead of the popular ones on most of the categories.

@Guilmon1 that one nomination still surprises me, considering how it flew under everyone's radar...

The main characters' VAs felt weird to me at first because they aren't proper VAs, but they grew on me over time and now I couldn't imagine any other voice in their place.
