Chainsaw Man’s Disappointing Night at the Awards
Chainsaw Man, despite being nominated in several categories, had a somewhat disappointing night at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. The show only managed to win one award for Best New Series, surprising fans who expected more. Many believed that Chainsaw Man would win in other categories, especially in the Best Ending Sequence category.
In the Best Ending Sequence category, Chainsaw Man fans were shocked when Jujutsu Kaisen’s ending sequence, “Akari” by Soshi Sakiyama, was announced as the winner. This came as a disappointment to Chainsaw Man fans, considering the impact and viral nature of its 12 unique and distinct ending sequences, which were not even nominated.
Fans expressed their disbelief and dissatisfaction with the results on social media, feeling that Chainsaw Man had been “robbed” due to its immense popularity. Some fans suggested that Crunchyroll could have considered all 12 endings as a collective entity, potentially increasing its chances of winning.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Success in Other Categories
Despite the disappointment in the Best Ending Sequence category, Jujutsu Kaisen fared well in other categories. The show won Best Opening Sequence, Best Character Design, Best Cinematography, Best Action, Best Director, and Gojo Satoru won Best Supporting Character. These victories further solidified Jujutsu Kaisen’s success at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
Chainsaw Man’s Honors and Best New Series Award
Although Chainsaw Man did not achieve the desired outcome in several categories, it did manage to secure several Best Voice Actor awards in different languages and was honored with the title of Best New Series. This recognition highlights the show’s potential and the talent involved in its production.
Fans’ Perspective and Disappointment
Chainsaw Man fans expressed their disappointment and disbelief on social media, feeling that the show had been overlooked despite its popularity. They questioned how a series with 12 different endings could fail to win in the Best Ending Sequence category, especially considering the impact and viral nature of each ending. Some fans suggested alternative approaches that Crunchyroll could have taken to consider all 12 endings as a collective entity.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Jujutsu Kaisen had a triumphant night at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, winning the prestigious Anime of the Year title. While Chainsaw Man fans may have been disappointed with the results, both shows showcased their talent and creativity, leaving a lasting impact on the anime community.
