Vinland Saga Got Robbed at The Crunchyroll Awards 

The fact that the mangaka of Vinland Saga was the only mangaka that showed up to the awards and he got nothing was diabolical

Let's be honest bro most voters haven't watch vinland saga

One of biggest robberies since Boss Baby won over A silent voice

Thorffin: "I have no enemies. Well...except the Crunchyroll Awards."

Vinland Saga still managed to change the mindset of millions of young men, and that is a bigger W than any material award.

The fact is that Vinland Saga is too mature for the average Crunchyroll anime fan.

I don't care about awards to me Vinland Saga won.

I’m glad you noticed and showed my tweet here on RU-vid! That really means a lot to me. Just to clarify, it’s not Vinland Saga that has been airing for 9 years, gotten 53 nominations and 0 wins. That was Better Call Saul. I just edited Thorfinn’s face on the original image with BCS as a meme. Vinland Saga has been airing for over 4 years, gotten 15 nominations and at least won 1 award for “Best Drama” in 2020. However, I’m extremely disappointed that it didn’t receive a single award this year and got robbed by Jujutsu Kaisen. Anyway, this is just a popularity contest, so who cares?

Don't fk care about any awards, Vinland saga itself a gift to everyone,its the real goat, and thorffin deserve to be the best main character of all (love eren )

Genuinely voted Vinland Saga in every category, it was nominated. I can't believe it didn't win any. I get it's a popularity contest, but the JJK and DS brainrot is real.

vinland saga is the Better Call Saul of anime

I agree

Secret conversation between Yuji and Gojo before shinjuku "If Thorffin said his iconic line then it might be tricky" "But will you lose?" "...... Nah, I'd win."

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO NICK, ESPECIALLY WITH NO HESITATION IN TITLE OR ANYWHERE😭

Best cinematography and Best anime of the year should be to Vinland Saga

-"I have no awards"- "I need no awards" "A true warrior doesnt need an award" Lmao when you think about it the meaning those lines convey, they aren't way off, why would a true warrior need a sword the same way he would an award? The essence of a warrior goes beyond the nature of the weapon he yields, or the awards he gets because true strength comes not from whats external to him, but whats internal, from within by relying on one's skills, mindset and principles. True strength is found in the unconquerable soul of the man, and not in the nature of the weapon he uses. It reflects a commitment to spiritual growth, self-discipline and the belief that a warrior's essence goes beyond the tools they wield.

Vinland saga got robbed so bad this time

It was not even Shibuya arc, it was just 5 episodes!!!!!

listen, I hate to say this, but I'm very used to shonen bro picks overriding the stuff I actually got peak enjoyment from. Vinland Saga, Golden Kamuy, Dorohedoro, Pluto, Dungeon Meshi, Heavenly Delusion, Odd Taxi, Ranking of Kings... how many will get the time of day over whatever the hot shonen thing is? god, at least Chainsaw Man exists. leave it to Tatsuki Fujimoto to force the shonen genre to get in its themes enough for me to really enjoy it. at least Mob Psycho 100 exists... One is also an author I trust to drag the anime community into more strange and thematically poignant territory. god, can shit please just get weirder? and I'm such a media-with-themes person... I need something to sink my analytical teeth into. idk, we just need more big names in the anime community to put the spotlight on the fringe picks that deserve it.

The fact that the mangaka is taking it so well and is just happy he was invited makes want to shit on Crunchyroll even more.

Vinland saga 🤝 Better Call Saul= no awards.

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, is this proof that jujutsu kaisen s2 winning all its awards including anime of the year was rigged 🤔

Cinematography, anime of thee yearrrrrrrr .... should go to Vinland saga

Bleach got done dirty too, not even getting nominated for most of these, not to mention it didn't even get nominated for best soundtrack fuck this

Look I love AOT and Luffy, but VS S2 should have won Best Drama and Thorffin Best Main character. That should have been a no brainer.

I just wanna say that at the end of the day none of this award shit matters in the slightest. We are blessed to have even gotten such a beautiful adaptation that is not only faithfull to the source material but also improves upon it significantly. And I get that people seek validation in these award but seriously this shouldn't be a reason to ruin your mood guys. If there's anything Thorfinn's character has taught us its to not hold grudges. We don't have enemies.

Vinland Saga could of easily won Aoty, Best Drama and best protag if it wasn't a popularity contest. Unfortunately, that's why jjk, aot, op and ds will always dominate

knowing how the past crunchy awards went this was completly predictable

"Awards should not be fan voted" FUCKING CORRECT. Fans can never be objective.

Nick, you explained everything that I had on my mind after watching the Anime Awards. Thank you for saying your thoughts out loud cuz it is absolutely necessary.

Actually people voted jjk cause of shibuya. Crunchyroll only nominated hidden inventory but most fans thought it was shibuya

Bro I voted Vinland Saga everywhere it was and when I searched the awards I was shocked!

People thought the whole jjk s2 was nominated. They should have named it jjk s2 ep 1-10, instead of jjk s2 Edit: Yes guys, eps 1-10 were nominated, not only hidden inventory, eps 11-23 were fall 2023

Better Call Saul 🤝🏻 Vinland Saga

Bro, watch how Demon Slayer will win Best Fantasy next year over Frieren. I swear I will lose my mind if that happens 😂💀. Also in my opinion CSM should have won best art direction and best animation. JJK season 2 could have gotten best animation if the animators had a proper schedule so that the season could have reached its full potential.

Bro where did your Vinland Saga season 2 reactions go? I was so looking forward to them.

This award made me hate JJK more than their exploitative company.

I knew what the outcome was gonna be... so predictable. Vinland Saga S2 Will be AOTY in my heart

They didn't even counted JJK Shibuya Arc so now JJK will be nominated next year again to win this bullshit again 🤒 Utterly disappointed

you are so right about these awards should not be popularity based

Respect for ign📈📈

I read vinland past season 1 anime a long time ago already, so at first I wasn't really interested in watching season 2 anime.. but after you praised it so much, I gave it a chance, cause usually I avoid stories I already experienced like the plague... but gosh, this season is the whole package truly, and so much more, it's indiscribable

Nic, Eren had almost no screentime in special 1, special 2 wasn't nominated cuz it was in fall so why would he win best voice acting performance?

Lobotomy kaisen showing 1% of its power 😂 At the end of the day award shows with voting are always popularity contest

The worst thing is that JJK was nominated only for hidden inventory arc ( first 5 ep) and shibuya arc will be there next year still fans voted this 5 ep anime rather than 24 ep peakland saga. And for best MC - I don't care who wins either luffy or thorfinn. Both are my favourite but as a character I prefer luffy. I can't say why because I don't wanna spoil as Nick isn't caught up to one piece.

Insane... Vinland should've won so many awards

It's not really a surprise to be honest. Anime watchers tend to skew younger in the overwhelming majority. So mature character dramas don't get too popular unless there's tons of action. As a youtuber/reactor you know exactly what types of shows have bigger audiences

Vinland saga didn't get 53 nominations and hasnt been around for 9 years. It's referencing Better Call Saul, a critically aclaimed TV Show that actually got 0 wins from 53 noms and has now finished airing.

I voted for Vinland Saga too. It sucks to feel like my vote doesn't matter...

I think most of the fans didn't even know what part of JJK they even Voted for. They should declare the numbers of episodes in the description of the Anime when you vote for them. Or even better, let the Jury make the last decision. There could be something like a Community Award next year or so. Like this it's just not fair. Not just that but the fact that Jujutsu Kaisen still aired like shortly before the voting started and other Anime like Chainsaw Man didn't even air in 2023 makes it even more unfair. It's just more recent and everybody remembers JJK better than most of the other Anime. Well of course JJK did deserve to win but not when there was such a big competition. If I had to give a solution for this I would make seasonal Awards or at least half time awards so. There could be smaller events maybe just Online without a show, just Animated with an presenter. And at the end of the Season are the Votings where is decided who wins overall between all the seasonal winners.

If you've ever seen another awards ceremony, you know that the judges are ten times worse than the fans

A true Warrior needs no awards -Thors 🗿 One piece fans carried the MC award. If One piece was nominated in every award. It would win every award

Theres a reason fans shouldnt vote lmao

i like you bro but all i can say is caught up to OP first than say that , and thorfin is seinen MC also i agree with you but caught up to one piece first man , don't be mad i AGREE with thorfinn best MC 2023 but luffy also deserved it , that's all i can say

I don’t trust awards shows. Especially Crunchyroll. I’m not a huge Vineland fan, but it deserved better

I definitely think Vinland should've won anime of the year over jjk hidden inventory, but I think if Nick were caught up with Wano he'd understand were the Luffy fans are coming from. But also if AOT finale part 2 was included I think Eren may have taken best MC of the year

They give awards to hyped anime not deserving anime

I thought Askelad won antagonist of the year when the first season came out

L thorfinn a fraud luffy clears that bum

Anime of the year was one of the few categories they get right every year. Yuri on Ice (2017), Made in Abyss (2018), Devilman Cryababy (2019), Demon Slayer S1 (2020), JJK S1 (2021), AoT S4 (2022), Cyberpunk (2023) all were deserved but this was Vinland Saga’s year. There was nothing that remotely came close it. JJK S2 sure was great but I can’t defend it winning over Vinland Saga and what many people don’t get is they are not even counting the Shibuya arc 🤦🏻‍♂️ these awards were much better before anime became mainstream and specially after the pandemic it’s losing credibility with each passing year. I won’t be surprised if JJK wins next year too

Crunchyroll sure loves Robbing awards from deserving shows and giving it to some average shonen show. VS S2 teaches us we have no enemy, but these toxic jjk fanboys/girls are just testing our patience at this point. JJk fanboys don't know what good story means. Lil toxic jjk fandom is full of kids jjk is trash.

vinland saga is never going to get these kinds of awards. its competing against shonen where you can just enjoy flashy fights. popularity always wins.

The punch in the gut is that jjk won all these awards with only 5 episodes of hidden inventory

People forget that JJK S2 doesn't count shibuya

The fact that Luffy won better main character over Thorfinn 💀💀 I’m bouta end it all

5 episodes....5 episodes won anime of the year. We really have fallen so fucking deep it's impossible to recover.

this is equivalent of balon dor robberies in football

Vinland Saga Season 2 was the best anime for me. Although only the early stories have been made into anime, it is an anime that I love as much or more than Attack on Titan. Works that are loved by a wide range of people, from children to adults, are often certified as bestsellers. To achieve this, the story needs to be easy to understand, flashy and dramatic to some extent. However, what is called a bestseller is not necessarily the best story. I hope that those of you who love Vinland Saga will share the wonderfulness of this story with your friends and fans.

Why is Skyrim in the back 😭 anyways Luffy best mc fr fr

I think actual critics need to be the ones who decide. Because anime fans aren't capable of doing that

Anime is in the day and age now when it is the most popular. However, anime is also in a place where people just care about fights, gore, sexy female characters and fast paced story. Shonen is the most accepted form of anime that most consume. However, there is so much more in anime. Amazing stories like if they were a movie they'd win oscars. Monster, Vinland Saga, Vagabond, Berserk, Pluto, goodnight punpun. So on! And facts! Awards shouldn't be fan votes 🤣🤣 that's the most stupid thing yo exist. Fans aren't professional critics, most ride hype train. Of course, it will always be Dbz (dead anime btw), one piece, jjk, so on. It's stupid but it's because that's the vote so the animes that are made by small studios or small underrated manga will barely even the light of day! It's pathetic! Awards should be to shine spotlight on smaller projects, stories, characters who are in depth, themes, messages so on. Fan voted awards are just a joke that i don't even care about ✌🏻

Vinland Saga is PEAK. It seriously made a big impact in my life. I will never forget Thorfinn climbing out of his personal hell. I’m getting “CLIMB” tattooed on my arm.

As a hardcore Onepiece fan it's sad to see Vinland saga lost in main character catagory ☹️

It's stupid how good vinland saga is yet most anime fans don't like it because it's not always filled with action and are too dumb to appreciate the wisdom the show gives. It shows how many fools there are in the anime community.

It's annoying how hard you guys sleep on Heavenly Delusion, and also, Oshi no Ko didn't deserve anything it's not that great. And Indeed, Vinland Saga really got robbed, It deserved atleast a few awards

You're 100% correct. Award shows should not be fan voted. Any vote where the voters know nothing about half the options is ridiculously unfaired and doesn't represent the quality of the nominations.

I LIKE JJK AS AOTY BUT VINLAND DESERVES OSCAR FR✨. I DON’T FOLLOW ANYONE ABOUT WHAT IS THE BEST STORY SHOULD I WATCH, for me I just watch all and judge it by myself.

Truly heartbreaking 💔

These people just want their favourite anime to win. If crunchyroll asked for the best sports anime, people would choose JJK for no reason. I mean there's no logic behind these awards. They are just gonna vote for their favourite anime and rob the ones which deserved it.

Luffy deserved it for wano,and yeah Vinland is anime of the year

Everyone who voted for JJK actually voted for the Shibuya Arc. Even Crunchyroll put the poster of the second part on some of the categories. These results are pure jokes. JJK simply shoudnt be nominated next year since they already made everything in their power to make them win the most. When I think about the fact that SNK final part One wasnt even nominated or that Vinland Saga Lost in front of an arc of 5 episodes (that were great to be honest, much better than the Shibuya overrated arc, but still).. Are we talking about Demon Slayer being nominated and WINNING while it's unanimously depicted as the weakest season ? And the goat Ayashi also lost the best direction..The rumbling sequence was one of the best sequence ever in an anime.. I'm quite sad but I guess at the end of the day it's always popularity and not only quality.

"I have no awards" 😂😂😂😂😂

the fact people are spreading misinformation about JJK only including hidden inventory needs to stop. Can people not read, it says JJK S2 and shows the Shibuya poster. Clearly that means all of S2 which started in summer, not fall

I voted for Vinland Saga for Best Director and Best Drama... but the Gojo Fangirls took over the awards 💀

The fact that JJK has 10 damn awards (most of which are undeserved) but then the best animation award is for demon slayer is driving me nuts and if you say they didn't count shibuya arc then No way that arc alone surpassed Vinland saga.

The Forehead looks defeated. Honestly, the sooner Nick accepts that this award show is just a popularity contest and that it doesn't really matter anyway the better he'll feel. But honestly Thorfinn should've won best MC.

Bro didn't even watch half of onepiece to judge the character

There are more shonen anime fans and most of them don't like that at second season Thorfinn's mature way of seeing life as a one piece fan who has caught up with manga. I think Thorfiinn

Awards doesn't show how good the show is, IT SHOWS HOW POPULAR IT IS.

Ok but what's with the Skyrim music playing in the background?

idk what ppl expected. these awards are just a popularity contest with ppl going "yea this anime is my favorite so im going to vote for it no matter what"

Not just this, BUT BLUE GIANT DIDN'T WIN ANIME MOVIE AWARD??? WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT. That is probably the best animated movie I have watched in years.

That thumbnail😭😂😂 that alone deserves an award

I can feel you bro.. this world is rotten

I just got into the first season of Vinland Saga in Feburary & the fact it didn't win hurts my soul. I will admit I didn't vote for it, but only because I knew nothing about this series & I didn't want to get myself spoiled from it since I want to go into this story completely blind, & I'm feeling a pang of regret for not voting for this series. 😭😭😭 Thorfin is the best!

I haven't watched it yet but based on what ppl recommended me and what I see, it definitely deserved awards.

I feel that Luffy is equal to thorfinn, that’s the only one I was ok with, but every other category Vinland was in should have won 100%

This is why these kinds of awards are stupid. The series that win are the ones that are the most popular. You might as well just take the raw stats of how many people watched each series and use those to give awards out.

To be fair, the Crunchyroll Anime Awards has been a popularity contest for a while now, if not since its inception.

Whats worse is that JJK season 2 will be nominated again for 2024 because only fall 2022-summer 2023 is allowed. Basically meaning people are gonna vote for JJK for the same content. Same with attack on titan.
