Reacting to the ANIME AWARDS 2024 

The saddest part is that Vinland Saga author (Yukimura Makato) was legit the only mangaka to show up at the awards 😭 justice for vinland

"I have no Awards"

Maybe crunchyroll should have won best comedy.

Jjk really pulled a “nah i’d win” and actually won 😂😂 I guess we already know who’s gonna win for next years 😭😭

Crunchyroll Jujutsu Kaisen Awards

How does Demon Slayer keep getting away with winning "Best Fantasy" back-back even though it's not?

I'm seeing a lot of "JJK undeservedly won too many awards" and "Vinland Saga got robbed". Valid. But you know who also got robbed? Mob Psycho! It KILLS me Reigen didn't win "best sidecharacter"! At least Bocchi won something, even if it was a lesser deserved category (should've won "best VA performance" and "Best comedy").

"Congrats to all the winner...s." That sums it up nicely.

If Frieren can’t beat DS for best fantasy next year, I don’t think anything can 😂

Thats why they shouldn't let fans decide the winners.... All deserving winners were robbed.

I think the worst thing here aside from Vinland being robbed is that Reigen lost Best Supporting character to Gojo who was a main character in that arc. Unfair

I'm sure 99% of JJK voters don't know that the Shibuya arc is not counted. Either Crunchyroll's system is broken, or they had overestimated the intelligence of JJK fans. JJK fans don't start a fight. I have no enemies. Edit: If they intended to include Shibuya arc, means Fall 2023 shows should be included in the award as well. If they intended to exclude Shibuya arc, that means their own staffs got confused and used Shibuya arc clips and posters. Conclusion, the system is broken.

Should rename it to Shounen Awards 💀

As Connor once said, "Fans should not be allowed to vote." What's the point of having competition among 6 anime when fans only watch one of them.

Everyone, and I mean everyone that has seen Mob Psycho 100 knows that Reigen deserves every available award for "Best Supporting character" Not only is he extremely iconic and likeable, but he and his development is genuinely really well written!

Crunchyroll needa rename these awards to "Most Popular" instead of "Best" because this shit is just a straight up popularity contest

The Crunchyroll Anime Awards almost makes the Oscar's seem like a competent award show. Almost.

Congratulations to Bocchi the rock’s production team and everyone who worked on it

as usual the awards were basically the same as last years anime awards

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.

> Anime of the year: Jujutsu Kaisen > Best fantasy: Demon Slayer > Best art direction: Demon Slayer > Best opening sequence: Jujutsu Kaisen > Best ending sequence: Jujutsu Kaisen Once again, Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer win multiple awards they don’t deserve. > Best Slice of Life: Bocchi the Rock > Best Comedy: Spy x Family These make no sense to me. Bocci the Rock should have won best comedy and best slice of life should have gone to Skip and Loafer. > Best Romance: Horimiya the Missing Pieces Season one of Horimiya was amazing but this season was just things s1 skipped. It should have gone to Insomniacs After School. These awards are such a joke.

A true warrior doesn't need award.

How tf Vinland saga s2 didn't win a single award? that's an actual crime

I thought Vinland Saga was already robbed heavily back in 2019 anime awards (Isabella snubbed best antagonist from Askeladd and Demon Slayer won AotY over this). This one managed to be even worse. If anyone is salty about this award show, cleanse your eyes with this year's r/anime awards that just ended. Way more deserving winners.

I did the calculations. If you just voted for the most popular series on MAL/Anilist (specifically the 2023 season), and you remember that shounen fans will totally forget the oldest shounen in the voting pool and hype up the newest shounen in the voting pool. Voting for the most popular non-CSM show in every category would give you 18/23 correct. CSM massively underperformed, it was the most popular show in 10 categories but JJK or Demon Slayer took it instead.

the recency bias awards

The only way Crunchyroll will change the structure of these awards is if people start boycotting the service. I'm not mad that JJK and Demon Slayer won lots of awards, I'm mad that better anime in their respective category were not recognized for the boundaries they broke and for their impact on anime culture and the world this year. I'm also mad about best OP. There were 4 other anime with better songs and opening animations.

this is proof that the anime awards is just a popularity contest

48:58 can't believe we got an irl jojo character to announce an award

The JJK opening sequence win was the farthest my jaw has ever dropped in my entire life 🤣

I have no enemies except for the crunchyroll awards and the fans

I feel like at this point we watch the Crunchyroll Anime Awards to be surprised when x category is not Demon Slayer or JJK. "Yo guys it's not DS or JJK this time, it was worth the watch."

JJK fans are the swifties of the anime community

As a vinland saga fan it disheartens me that we did not win an award, but there is a part of the fanbase that is raging and putting other anime down that had great seasons. Like our phrase is "I have no enemies" but a part of our community is being hypocritical and whining about losing. You can be sad about VS not winning (even i am a bit sad), but it does not give us the right to call everything else mid.

Vinland saga got robbed totally. This just showed that how much underrated still this show is. Honestly, It is far better than Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.

I have to remind myself again that I have no enemies

JJK's popular votes were absolutely infuriating. Wtf was that??

The thing about CR's awards is that there are always two or three valid winners for each award. JJK II could rightfully have earned each of the awards it did on an individual basis. But as a collective, where you get this ridiculous sweep it just ruins what most people are looking to see from the show. Most folks want the CR Awards to be like a "year review" of the best stuff we got that year when that isn't how award shows actually work, so when CR tries to apply that to anime it just produces this silliness where AAA battle anime sweep categories where not enough people actually know or care about more niche works. It also doesn't help that their seasons for each year are so wonky. So many people 100% voted for AoT on stuff thinking it was the finale (IV-4) when the actual thing in the awards was IV-3. Next year's awards will either see a stupid sweep from AoT's finale or end up with AoT not getting the thing or two it actually deserves because it will have been so long since it dropped.

was a really good idea of cr to exclude fall season anime trying to remove recency bias but they failed miserably

How come they aren't ashamed of even presenting this award?! holy shit lmfao

Popularity constest

Demon Slayer winning best fantasy two times in a row hurts on another level...

Ten years from now people will be talking and thinking about Vinland. What a disaster these awards were.

2:01:09 Holy shit, they chose the best FMA opening to perform! My favorite Asian Kung Fu Generation anime song too! They did a great job with the whole orchestration, but hearing that in the medley was just fucking beautiful. 2:09:47 Shing02 was one of the people who worked on the Samurai Champloo soundtrack, iirc. He also collabed with Nujabes a couple times. 2:24:52 Lowkey one of my hypest moments of the night was seeing Chiaki Kuriyama walk onstage. I first found out about her from listening to the Level E a ton back in high school. Cool to see her at the anime awards all these years later. 2:35:35 The one award where I was actually rooting for JJK to win was best direction, mainly because I wanted to see Shota Goshozono accept an award. Season 2 was literally the dude's first series directing role and he fucking knocked it out of the park. I've been rooting for him for years ever since watching his episode direction on Ranking of Kings eps 7 and 21 and then Chainsaw Man ep 8. His visibly uncontainable enthusiasm just going onstage to get that award has already endeared me even more to him. If he keeps up his current level of ambition, this guy's gonna become a legend, I'm calling it.

I like how Gigguk refuse to appreciate any other anime awards simply because they are niche and not as big as Crunchyroll. Reddit just announced their list and Vinland Saga won anime of the year in the public vote. Makoto Yukimura Sensei even gave a thank you message. And the wholesome part is best VA winner Tomoyo Kurosawa for Skip and Loafer even used the award as a platform to ask international fans to donate to a relief fund to support Noto, Mitsumi Iwakura’s hometown which have been devastated by the recent earthquake. Seems like other awards are doing better at celebrations and appreciation of the anime medium.

1:58:58 It hits so hard now💔😭 RIP Legend..

Anime Tourist Awards

RIP Mob Psycho 100, it was its last chance to get something. -__-,

I skipped to the end of the video just to see your reaction and ended up hearing you say "...remember guys, we have no enemies." lol

should renamed to the popularity awards

The first jjk s2 opening over IDOL??! edit: LESGOOOO IT WON BEST ANIME MUSIC

Dude, that live performance is a performance they can be proud of for the entirety of their lives! Best live symphony orchestra I ever heard in my life. It was just crazy incredible.

Man, I forgot how good "Work" from Hell's Paradise is! That song hits hard, never heard a real performance of it, and I loved it!

Bocchi even being nominated as Anime of the Year, a freaking Slice of Life anime and going against popular shounens like JJK, etc., is kind of amazing on its own. Wished it won one more award, "Best New Series". Hoping for a Frieren sweep next year!

Next year going to be a Showdown: JJK S2 Part 2 VS Frieren

Vinland saga got robbed

Vinland fans went from - "I have no enemies." to "I have only enemies."

HOW DID OSHI NO KO NOT WIN CHARACTER DESIGN THAT'S LITERALLY HALF THE SHOW OMFG

feels like they got a panel of teenage boys to vote on most of these.

I was here for it all. First time voting, first time watching it live, here for post show. God that was a ride! Thnx for streaming it Garnt!

The level if quality jjk was at for most of the episodes in artwork, animation, voice acting, and story may not be the best of all time but all categories were damn near top tier for a 24 episode season that kept topping itself every episode. To operate at that level as consistently as they did was extremely impressive i was excited for the Shibuya arc but i didn't expect it to be this good

The real cache is the "jujutsu kaisen" will also be in nominations for the Shibuya arc😂😂😂

The Jujutsu Kaisen Awards were crazy.

Where is the award for Ranking of kings Vinland saga Heavenly delusion????

"gojo can bleed" was the best xd

Disappointed. This feels like Scorsese releasing a freaking masterpiece but somehow a marvel movie gets the Oscar. It's honestly sad that anime won't go beyond as something more than superpowers and appealing to children.

11 awards for jjk is crazy 💀

Mushoku Tensei and Vinland Saga got robbed. Tell me, how Vinland Saga didn't win any awards? Also, in the title of best fantasy, *ANY* other show deserved the title much more than Demon Slayer... especially Mushoku Tensei. besides, this whole "awards" was a joke.

there should be a category for thriller/mystery because Heavenly Delusion, Pluto, and Apothecary Diaries (which would probably be eligible next year) are all amazing and deserve to win something.

the jjk awards, see you next year when they're in there again

The JJK awards was fire

Aot winning 3 awards with just one ep is the real flex lmao

2:10:09 Best Score was presented by the man himself Shing02, he worked closely with nujabes on a lot of tracks. What a legend to have present best score

In my personal opinion, I feel like we could avoid one series taking over the awards (just because it has more fans) if Crunchyroll made a rule that one series couldn't win more than 3 awards. They could be in more than 3 categories, but maybe the ones that received the most votes could be the top 3, and then the next runner up series would be able to shine in a category that can't use. Just my personal opinion though. Might make it more exciting to watch than just knowing JJK got every single category it got placed in 😑

Thanks a lot for this video!!

i think as adults we need to stop caring about awards. As vinland saga is intended for a much more mature audience and the average anime fan being a 12 year old its inevitable that a show like jjk or demon slayer would win. Im very suprised CSM didnt win so much. Best anime adaptation as ive seen recently

Garnt. I have a request. Can you make a tribute video honoring Toriyama? As a guy whose made a living talking about Anime I would love to hear you articulate the impact Toriyama’s content had on bringing anime west and on anime/Shonen as a whole.

35:47 best main character

great show. Live would have been a blast.

OMA and shing02 together at the Anime Awards that's dope

Vinland saga will stay on my mind for longer than any action shounen. It definitely deserves my award.

everytime jjk shows up: YOU ARE MY SPECIAL

They should add a description on what each categories are supposed to represent

Nah he'd win.

So happy for our small Buddy Daddies fan base🔥💯

Popularity awards 💯🔥

Imma say it, it was good to see Iman Vellani honestly because every award was practically expected

2024 Anime Awards 🔥 March 3, 2024

I would love to see both the result of the judges and the pupular vote separated for all categories! Give the award to the combined vote, fine, but that would still be interesting!

41:56 best cinematography

literally a popularity poll

honestly they need to get more judges from the industry and leave votes for the major categories out of it 😭 like they can maybe have “fan favourite” categories through votes bc at least then its more reasonable to be a popularity contest. its no fun watching something sweep when it feels like its being awarded by ppl who didnt even watch the other nominees

51:55 best opening

"Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am anime of the year"

the opening theme award... man

31:33 best endings songs

Where is the short version
