Maybe it’s just the disillusionment we’ve all felt over the past year, but this year’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards just didn’t have anything to them. It was virtual, pre-recorded, and pretty boilerplate across the board, and while that did mean there was a significant drop in awfulness and cringe that did come with the catch of just being a pretty forgettable hour that just came and went. There were some good award choices, some bad ones, and some that are just “eh whatever, who cares,” and the same can be said for this awards show as a whole. It wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t great. It was just… eh whatever, who cares.
We’ll have a livelier show in a couple of days, so enjoy our belated “post-show” for the fifth annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Here’s to a better show next year.
