It was bit hard to decide cause I haven't seen most of stuff and didn't have time to watch it either, so had to go bit with feeling I have got of the anime from what people have talked and some visual stuff I have seen like amvs or so. Ended up giving quite lot to Devilman Crybaby, plan to watch it later hopefully it's good and deserved my votes xd

And well yes some of my opinions;

I'm pretty happy overall I guess, I mean could have been better and not many of my picks won, but I was still happy with most that did. Some of my fav shows didn't get nominated at all (Goblin Slayer, Cells at work), but lot of good stuff was.

Bnha got nominated lot less this year which is good, but still kinda won too much- they won 5 of the 6 awards they were nominated for (I would have rioted if Violet Evergarden lost best animation to BnHa especially since I find BnHa's animation mostly ugly sorry Bones). Really happy for Violet for best animation. And well happy for Deku for best boy i will give that to bnha xd

Also happy for Darling Franxx for op voted for Pop team epic, but song wise Darling Franxx was best pick. My pick for ed won so gotta be happy for that too.

I hoped more wins for Zombieland saga that I have just started to watch and it's actually amazing. Good job for Mamoru Miyano for that VA award though. If it's not Rareko for Retsuko, it gotta be Mamoru Miyano.

Some upsets for me are Rimuru for protag, he's alright, but I find the anime boring already. Best fight being All for one and All might wasn't that interesting. Also not enough wins for Zombieland saga and none for Aggretsuko were downers. I would have given best protag to Retsuko from Aggretsuko and anime of the year (from those nominations) to zombieland saga or violet evergarden.. and also character design for zombieland saga.

Hm.. I am not a fan of My hero academia, but congrats, they sure won most of the awards
as for my opinions:
I would choose sasuke & naruto vs momoshiki as best fight scene cause it was epic
and I would choose OP as the best continuing series, just because I am biased lol

and I never heard of devilman crybaby, but I will check it out

I would choose One Piece too, it's like the series that never ends and is always ongoing, they don't even take breaks xd

Devilman crybaby is popular for sure, I haven't quite watched whole thing through myself. It's on Netflix too. Though it does have lot of violence, nudity and sex I have to say that first ep did shock me cause I was warned before hand, but oh boy. Just won't watch it when you have parents in your room/visiting you xd

ok you really make me more curious now :D

Personally I love BNHA and while I am happy that they won as much as they did and think that they deserved it... it's still way too much. They basically dominated the awards. Idk I feel like the awards could've been distributed better.

It's kinda just that it's so popular that as long as Bnha is nominated it will almost always win. Almost cause it won 5 out of 6 nominations it got, Violet Evergarden beat Bnha in Best Animation category (which I was very happy about I think Violet's animation is just gorg. But well i think it's more of fault of voters in this cause than Crunchyroll since although Bnha got 6 nominations, there was other shows that got more like Devilman crybaby got 7 nominations (and won 2) and Megalobox had 8 nominations (won 0). Arguably Bnha although it not necessary deserve win all of 5 it did (for example the movie one) it did deserve nominations in most of them i think.

Still i hope they will tone Bnha nominations even more down for this years awards (since Bnha is getting 4th season) and only have it couple categories where it's absolutely deserving. Like personally I wouldn't have put Bnha for movie category, yes they had movie, but putting tv anime there with a movie is going to be bit unfair for movies that are stand alones- it will likely get more votes just cause franchise).

Yeah I agree. They really should be careful with nominations when it comes to popular shows, since those are more likely to get wins even if another show objectively did better in the category.

It's a shame about Megalo box though. I haven't seen it yet (was planning to), but the premise looked pretty cool, it had decent art style, and I thought it would win at least 1 of the categories it was nominated for.

@blueberries Have you watched that bunny girl senpai anime? It has high ratings and it even won some awards here. The reason I'm holding back on watching is because a lot of people have given it shit reviews lol.

It's one of few one's i haven't actually so i can't comment a lot about it other than i have actually heard of good things more than bad? Lot of people say it's bit deceiving and ended up not being about bunny girls and apparently characters were good.. but can't say for myself : /
