Let's talk about Crunchyroll Award 2023 and how to make it better.
FUCK JUJUTSU KAISEN AND DEMON SLAYER!!!!
Anime of the Year (for me):
Best Continuing Series: One Piece can stay.
Best New Series: Chainsaw Man can stay.
Best Anime Movie: Suzume can stay.
Best Original Anime: I prefer Akiba Maid War or Witch from Mercury more but Buddy Daddies is fine.
Best Animation: I'll give this one to Demon Slayer at the very least.
Best Character Design: Should have been Chainsaw Man instead of JJK.
Best Director: Don't know any of them unfortunately. So the director can stay.
Best Cinematography: AOT Final Season Part 1 for me.
Best Art Direction:
Should have been Zom 100 instead of Demon Slayer.
Best Romance Anime: Horimiya Piece is great and all, but I feel like it's a "sequel" to Horimiya or a remake, like Quintessential Quintuplets new series. So I wouldn't really nominate this as the best romance. For me:
My Happy Marriage is one of the best new romance in a while. And the concept is original and not cliche like most romcoms.
Best Comedy: Spy x Family Cour 2 can stay.
Best Action:
Should have been Bleach Cour 2 instead of JJK.
Best Fantasy:
Mushoku Tensei Season 2 instead of DS. Fuck DS for this.
Best Drama:
Heavenly Delusion for me.
Best Slice of Life: Bocchi the Rock can stay but I don't mind Skip and Loafer or Insomniacs after school either.
Best Main Character: Should have been Thorfinn instead of Luffy.
But we got:
Which is sad.
Best Supporting Character: Fuck Gojo despite him being my favorite JJK character, but it should have been Reigen instead.
"Must Protect at all costs" character: Anya can stay.
Best Song: Idol by YOASOBI can stay.
Best Anime Score: AOT Part 1 can stay. Hiroyuki Sawano is goated.
Best Opening Sequence: Not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed Jigokuraku or Hell's Paradise OP despite MAPPA butcher the hell out of it. So that.
Best Ending Sequence: Chainsaw Man OP 3 or Mephisto for me.
Best Anime Voice Artist Performance: Kikunosuke Toya (Denji) from Chainsaw Man. For his very first role, his voice acting is impressive.
Don't know about other voice actors for other languages so I'mma skip those.
So Chainsaw Man here wins 3 or 4 if you're counting Ending Sequence as the most Awards in my opinion. Which is fine because Chainsaw Man is actually a good series, too bad that most Japanese audience seems to hate it though.
So how do y'all feel about my opinions for Crunchyroll Awards for 2023? And what would y'all put for these? Would love to see some opinions.
AI art is not that bad imo.
