| LapisLazuli 01/05/21 2:57:58 AM #48: | Anime of the Year +8 Akudama Drive +5 SNAFU Climax +3 Eizouken +2 Kaguya +1 Talentless Nana This was super tough, and where I realized things were gonna get weird. A while back, Mac asked me if anything had a chance of taking out Re:Zero for the #1 spot, and I said likely no, but I hadnt thought on it at all. Now that I have thought on it, its not even making this list. Thats not to say it isnt excellent, I love it so far, but it hits two categories that I am very harshly against prioritizing in awards: seasons that arent done yet, and season that are neither the first nor the last season of a show. First seasons get that initial exposure (see the +1 to Nana, which I almost gave the +2 too before realizing that I was giving extra weight to having just caught up to the manga). Kaguya beats this by primarily being a comedy, every episode stands on its own as a goldmine. Re:Zero 2 is a single arc so far that hasnt been completed. I cant in good conscious get it into the top 5. My Life as a Villainous was here, until I reviewed it over and remembered a few episodes in the middle that didnt land. Best Male Character +8 Kento Nanami (Jujutsu Kaisen) +5 Hoodlum (Akudama Drive) +3 Kyouya Onodera (Talentless Nana) +2 Kaimen (Dorohedoro) +1 Kaburagi (Deca-Dence) definitely a strange list I ended up with here, but considering for the last several years I have struggled to actually reach 5 males, pretty satisfied with it. Best Female Character +8 Katarina Claes (Next Life as a Villaous) +5 Nana Hiiragi (Talentless Nana) +3 Echidna (Re:Zero) +2 Kanamori Sayaka (Eizouken) +1 Swindler (Akudama Drive) Putting together the list of female characters was absolutely effortless. They all came to mind immediately and there was no real risk of a cut. Putting them in order, significantly harder! --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
