Thank you Blazi

[@JustHoai]

Must slap

LOL😊

[@_uchiha]

it the man the myth and the legend himself

[@TurtleChad1]

This is video is significantly better and more accurate than the Crunchyroll roll awards.

[@thsxi]

Crunchyroll is just aot, demon slayer and maybe a spyfam

[@Roeclean]

Lol, I've never watched Crunchyroll Awards

[@danlar390]

Sure but we didn't get to see (normie award): for most Liked by poorly educated Real people!

[@capbuster1424]

Crunchyroll awards? You mean the normie awards?

[@kingdoom5022]

Is it really ? Ain't no way made in abyss s2 soundtrack isn't better than every other anime in a landslide

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Always with the cultured picks, Echidnut does not miss.

[@Roeclean]

Yup

[@mr.s5165]

Hey it's that guy that comments on every video on KZbin

[@WingZeroCustom001]

All his picks did not miss, even if I didn't agree with every one

[@bloody5081]

haven't seen your comments in a long time, what happened?

[@rostarsintellectual3568]

You disappeared suddenly

[@yiliu4943]

"Why does she need protection when it feels way better without it?" Truly an Echidnut moment, 10/10 comedy gold.

[@anon-fz2bo]

its actually cringe af man... i dunno, im a man of the culture & i know its a joke but despite the fact that i used to think these kindsa jokes were funny, i dont anymore. i guess i grew out of it coz they make me cringe now & come off as incel takes tbh... but yea no hate

[@Snake-pz6qj]

@@anon-fz2boDwelling way to into it man…it’s funny as it catches me way off guard. His delivery of some of his lines are comedy gold, if any other true incel was to say the line it would be cringe. Yet he says it in such a monotone way your expecting him to give a normal response just to hit you with that.

[@rubensdw4293]

For those who don't know, Bocchi, Bleach and all of the other fall animes were not nominated because the awards goes to shows that aired from Fall season (last year) to Summer season (current year). So we can expect those animes being nominated for the next Crunchyroll Anime Awards

[@brendant2180]

they did it because so many ppl voted for the 'most popular of last season' so much, so they wanted to let last year's picks marinate for longer it's annoying that i could vote for chainsawman yet, but i think it was a good choice

[@desuyodesuyo60]

Then next year's awards will be all about Chainsaw man and Demon Slayer

[@almadinjohnchristophers.9014]

what a weird situation but next crunchyroll awards will be full of Bocchi's(unless Demon Slayer slips in again)

[@FrizFroz]

@@almadinjohnchristophers.9014 I fear people will forget about Bocchi for recency bias when CR awards 2024 rolls out. The new KNY season and JJK Shibuya arc would have aired by then.

[@tsukasa5555]

@@FrizFroz i will never forget bocchi the goat

[@Diego-zz1df]

13:56 "Best character design: John from Shadows House" Unironically yes. You try making a blank black silhouette show emotions. Also, his costume looks great.

[@choog2752]

i like his blue

[@Kamppix]

Your award delivery in itself is just so entertaining that I can't see how any reasonable person could get mad over your picks. Also, you're still the only youtuber who genuinely makes me laugh, even multiple times per video, and I don't think that's changing any time soon.

[@Echidnut]

Thanks a lot dude I really appreciate that :)

[@frequentlyoffline3917]

Crunchyroll went with the Grammy method of taking nominees. They take anime from Fall 2021 to Summer 2022 for this one.

[@Ei-Ai]

Summertime Render was one of the best anime I have watched this past year, I wasn't expecting much going in, but once I started watching I couldn't stop. I was so invested in all the characters and couldn't let out a sigh of relief until the last episode, I'm happy to see that it's finally getting recognition somewhere. Thank you, Echidnut

[@Zarastro54]

We can at least be grateful that it got a full adaptation so that the fact that it got cucked on viewership due to being in Disney Jail didn’t mean that it inevitably wouldn’t get a season 2.

[@Ei-Ai]

@Zarastro I was so happy that we got the full thing, I would've been so upset if they left us on a cliffhanger and never adapted the full thing like theu did with Chivalry Of a Failed Knight

[@truongquangbao]

9:59 Echidnut really letting his intrusive thoughts win

[@csut123]

Ive been patiently waiting for this. The real yearly anime awards

[@sauce8148]

The true most underrated show is Golden Kamuy, truly one of my favorite animes of all time. The originality and the story pacing is just my type of shit and not some "I watch it because there's a sexy chick in the show" bullshit. The plot thickens after each episode and it's just awesome to see. Also I should mention another fucking underrated anime and I would watch it over all the animes mentioned in the video is *The Eminence in Shadow*

[@csut123]

@@sauce8148 haven't heard of golden kamuy, but I was planning on watching eminence of shadow soon, heard it's really good

[@andrewsharpe7630]

"I think my fish is drowning" Great video. I appreciate how you included Ushio and Akari in your waifu list. They don't beat Kitigawa, but they deserve recognition. I either agree with your picks or understand why you'd pick them... wait, except best isekai: Uncle Isekai was lit. 9:56 Based.

[@organizerbmo]

Surprised you didn't bring up the VA performance of Faputa from Made in Abyss S2. That range was incredible, and as others noted in the reddit episode discussions, the screaming was so visceral and painful, not like just 'anime yelling' for intense moments - and then you get her being cute and doggo-like

[@sauce8148]

If you like hearing unique voice actings try Golden Kamuy, fucking underrated.

[@fan4every1lol89]

Hated her voice but aye I appreciate the voice acting

[@LivingGuy484]

Kaguya-sama winning best Romance was the only thing I cared about The show is a gem, and I'm so happy it gets the recognition it deserves

[@MeekMushroom]

I don’t care what the content of the video is, it’s always entertaining because of the humor and delivery of said humor that has me coming back to this channel

[@jamieoconnor7942]

Although CSM Ep 8 was insane Edgerunners Ep 6 was best of the year for me and probably one of the best anime eps I’ve ever watched 🤯

[@Fractal170]

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking when he said it

[@brandonbowyer882]

i like how the summertime render pic he used were all the characters are all together is a pic from a certain image set

[@doubah1214]

Another Echidnut vid, lets go!!

[@RedneckNEET]

Naked Hero from Ranking of Kings is my favorite opening. I would have given it first place, but The Rumbling is also good. A respectable decision. Also your Awards are undeniably better than Crunchyroll’s and downright hilarious. You’re my favorite anime youtuber. Keep up the good work

[@underdogg0]

The only anime awards worth watching

[@mariandan3956]

You earned my respect when you said which is the best anime of 2022. I'm new to your videos but i feel like i'm here to stay.

[@4lackofbetter]

I agree. Trapped in a Dating Sim is great. I cant believe how underrated it is.

[@chenkaichuang8305]

It's got a great story but it's also barely animated at all, so it balances back to being very much mid.

[@brendant2180]

anime OTY - i loved edgerunners, but i've been watching AOT for a long time and it gives me chills thinking about some of the events from this final season. as annoying as it is they keep calling it the 'final' season, i hope it never freakin ends, it's anime of the year for me, for at least the next 10 years, no matter what evidence is put forth

[@TimeWager]

10 years atleast 💀

[@FrizFroz]

I made it as far as 3:19 in this video and had to comment! Your hateful analogy on Izumi in Shikimori is not just a Cutie was AMAZING 😂💀💯 I really enjoyed that anime but damn that roast was top tier!!! 👌🏾 🎉

[@DrakonReyS]

Cool mindset, I enjoy a lot the vocab you use along with the jokes and dramatic irony. It sounds like the peak of english in some category. Something to meditate is that, eventough I don't watch anime anymore, you make the content still enjoyable (i guess b/c I recognize the classics). The point is, you have potential so, I encourage you to diversify. I would like to see vlogs, q&a, live streams.

[@Krimxonn]

Just to me, ranking of kings was probably the best anime ive watched in the last 5 years, its downright beautiful.

[@sadhoneychilli_emilia]

for me the op and ed from that list would be: op 1. Zankyosanka 2. Chikichiki banban 3. Rumbling ed 1. Akuma no ko 2. My heart has surrendered 3. Koshaberibiyori P:s- just cant bring myself to love the call of the night one swrry other than that special call out to Spy x fam- the symbolism of both the op and ed are just mesmerising to look at and listen to its just so heart-warming ❤like say for instance if I were to choose a song to listen forever it would be one of'em or the other

[@dingusgoober]

I was so hyped Mob Psycho 100 got to win the most likely to be a hentai award!

[@atabis4893]

As a random internet dude, I'm giving this video my highest award: I agree with your choices.

[@cianchetto4]

well Mushoku was there cause the awards were from fall 2021 to summer 2022, like a football season and the Ballon d'or award (for example), i get that it's better to literally do a calendar year (then it would make sense to do the awards on March), but if they decided to do like in football, it is correct that Mushoku is there, and actually should have got many more nominations

[@lukaspaluch3298]

There was also an ova in march 2022 as well!

[@frewtlewps1152]

They should change it to all anime released in the calendar year

[@alislimani3401]

Echidnut after knowing that the fall season of 2021 is included and that the fall of 2022 is excluded :🔥🙂🔥

[@_Seileach]

Right? So many of his complaints are because of this weird arbitrary reason.

[@bojjibocchi]

fall 2021 is not included... its from jan 2022 till fall 2022. Fall 2021 was already included previous year

[@Purpless_ON]

@@bojjibocchi No.

[@AotoWR]

This Video is insanely good and i agree with most of your decisions. But what made me most happy was that you acknowledged that call of the night ending wins without a competition. I really loved the Fact that the Mangaka made the Manga after hearing this song got the rights feom the Band to use the Name and then even gets to use it for the Ending of his Anime. Literally one of the best IRL Stories including manga/Anime ive ever witnessed

[@RandomVex]

You know, I don't eat cereal anymore but I often watched your videos with cereal, so I decided to go back on an old habit. It's strange how one guy literally named Echidnut can make such great videos

4:56 miss nagatoro half time track....I see you Echidnut 🔥🥂

[@marcinsadowski7230]

I feel like akuma no ko don't get much appreciate cuz it's not hype type of ed but it's so relevant to the story and also how its connected to Mikasa ending (forgotten which one was it) it's literally describing what Eren really feels but I guess u need to know a little spoiler to know that I honestly cured first time after hearing a song other than 4 gatsu

I love how your one of the few yt who preach on MIA ty.

[@ralaon]

If it wasn't for the jokes sake only and you actually didn't know, Crunchyroll deliberately excluded all fall 2022 anime and included fall 2021 anime. It think it was mentioned that it's to reduce the recency bias and they'll probably keep on doing that every year now (Which I think that is a stupid approach but who am I to tell...). So Bocchi, Bleach, Chainsaw Man, Spy x Fam cour2, etc. are all gonna be included next year

[@-ZH]

Wait, doesn’t including 2023 increase recency bias?

[@sololeveling7390]

The best way to avoid recency bias without excluding the fall season then, is to do the awards later in the next year. So like now or a bit later for the 2022 awards for example.

[@ralaon]

He nails every character he portrays no matter the personality, such as Kiriko in SAO, that evil priest guy in HS DxD, Bell Cranel in Danmachi, the one blonde side best friend in Eminence in Shadow, Inosuke in Demon Slayer and so forth. He is underrated and deserves more credit than hes given.
