Shitty list. Sasuga Shittyroll. No Ishigami for the best boy?
NGL though, the moment they snubbed Sangatsu S2, they lost all the credentials.

Overreaction much here? This is not the only awards you know.

What are the chances Sony drops the Anime Awards when Crunchyroll officially joins them?

Golden Kamuy seems to have been ignored at other places like anitrendz as well. Why is that?
At least my friends over at AnimeSuk have the good sense to nominate it for a number of that site's awards. |
Speaking as a fan of Golden Kamuy, it's subject matter probably isn't very interesting to most non-Japanese viewers. It's just one of those shows people tend to sleep on outside of its home country.
I'm surprised Boku no Hero Academia only got 3 nominations this time around, and none of them in major categories like anime of the year. Although if it really is the critic's choice this time around then I suppose that's why. Although it appears not even the critics really care about Golden Kamuy all that much it would seem.

Again, the same 5-6 shows for most every category, and this year those are shows I haven't seen or care about in the least. Only care about Ascendance of a Bookworm and ToG so any voting I may do will be for those...

Another year of a fan trying to claim they're joke without having tried to see most of the nominated Anime to see why.

I've watched 25 of the nominated series and a little over 60 series total last year. Doesn't change the fact that these awards are a joke every year.

While Eizouken, Great Pretender, and Beaststars weren’t necessarily favorites of mine from 2020 they were all good anime that I would be fine with winning AOTY
Now I will be upset if Catarina from My Life as a Villainess doesn’t at least win best girl

Deca-dence should be where Appare is. Also, it should replace Pretenders in the best animation category. Nothing in Pretenders compares to Deca-dence, where animation is concerned.

There has been a pattern emerging the last few years (most visible this year and last) that 3-5 shows appear in most categories but in each category there are 1-2 shows that aren't among those and only appear in 1-2 categories. For instance, 6/34 shows are in 25-50% of all categories but there are 24/34 that only appear in 1-2 categories each. It seems to me that the judges decide for four shows to get almost everything and leave most of the other shows to maybe get the one win in the one category they appear in which I think you are right in calling "obligation picks". While I understand that very good shows are likely to be good in many categories, I also find it hard to believe that the "favs" are so much better than the bunch of other shows who were also good. Can't shake the feeling that there is a deliberate plan to "guide" votes to the "favs" and then say the results prove the selection...

People liking different things than you is not a conspiracy. I’m not a fan of the webtoon adaptations but I don’t have to do weird ass mental gymnastics that it’s some sort of vile plot. For as much as people love to be adamant that anime ain’t kids stuff these kind of events always showcase how childish people still are about it.

Yeah, I can't say much about how the judging process works but it's not even remotely how you described it. There's no collusion, no conspiracy.

You're overthinking it way too much. The judges just pick the stuff they want to win. Pretty straightforward. Obviously each judge has their own preference, but most are pretty open about it so you know what to expect if you've ever seen their content. Like Ajay who said he pushed hard for Dragon Quest to make the nomination because it's his personal favorite and he just wants to see it get recognition on a bigger scale even if it doesn't win. I don't know if that counts as a "conspiracy" or not, but that's pretty much how every award shows work. Obviously that tends to lead to disconnects between the general fandom and the award shows, but if people want a democratic option where all voices are heard that's what rankings and polls are for.
