Fan-favorite anime was \u201crobbed\u201d at Crunchyroll Awards CrunchyrollThe Crunchyroll Anime Awards have just happened, with Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan leading the winners, causing a particular series to fall by the wayside. The awards took place on March 2 in Tokyo, Japan, aiming to honor the top tier anime shows of the last year across a variety of categories. You\u2019ve got Anime of the Year, Opening Sequence, Supporting Character, and many more, all rewarding a particular aspect of the franchises we love. As the leading ceremony of its kind, particularly for English-speaking audiences, the Crunchyroll Anime Awards put considerable effort to attract mainstream attention. This year, Megan Thee Stallion and pro wrestler Mercedes Mon\u00e9 were in attendance to present awards, creating celebrity buzz and prestige. Sadly, a lot of fans aren\u2019t too keen on who went home with statues, believing the emphasis was too strong on already well-known and popular properties. Vinland Saga Season 2 was snubbed at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards On Reddit and across social media, many fans believe Vinland Saga Season 2 should\u2019ve gotten at least some of the awards that Jujutu Kaisen received. Indeed, the Viking anime went in with around ten nominations, but failed to succeed in every category. Meanwhile, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 got Anime of the Year, both Best Opening and Closing, Best Japanese Voice Actor Performance, and a wealth of others. It was a very good ceremony for MAPPA\u2019s adaptation of Gege Akutami\u2019s manga. \u201cVinland Saga definitely deserved [Anime of the Year] without a flinch of a doubt,\u201d says one commenter on Reddit. \u201cI had hopes seeing last year Edgerunners winning the AotY \u2013 that finally CR isn\u2019t mollycoddling to its viewers or awarding based on popularity but I was so wrong.\u201d Another adds on X, formerly Twitter: \u201cThe fact that Vinland Saga didn\u2019t win a single award just proves that this is literally the worst anime awards of all time.\u201d The reactions are a little hyperbolic, but I understand the frustration. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the biggest anime going right now, and it wouldn\u2019t have suffered any to lose some of these categories. Vinland Saga Season 2 is a great piece of work, and could\u2019ve used some more recognition. Jujutsu Kaisen dominated the awards so much, even anime that got some statues (such as Chainsaw Man) have fans wishing they had a stronger look in. The awards are definitely top heavy, and although Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 was great, was it that great? I\u2019m not so sure. But at the same time, this is just one awarding body. These shows can\u2019t make everyone happy, and creating some discourse about winners ultimately helps the medium, since it creates a flurry of people saying how great franchises like Vinland Saga are.
