great pretender didn’t win anything :(
Jujutsu Kaisen rules!
@Maybe Skin I never said I wanted it to be anime of the year💀am just confused why the didnt nominate it for one of the opening sequences as they have very good ones
@Hafsa Hassan if it came out in “like 2018” when did u expect it to be in an anime of the year for the 2020 year? Your logic baffles me 🤷♂️
@Keano M it could have still got the openings or endings sine those came out in 2020 (well some of them)
Yes I'm soooo happy that Jujutsu kaisen won the award for best anime
jujutsu kaisen deserves to win anime of the year
Everyone talking about JJK and Great Pretender in the comment while I'm over here still salty that Akudama Drive and Deca-dence didn't get any recognition
Next year: The AOT awards
This is not the anime awards...... this is the JJK awards
I was gonna have a fit if jujustu kaisen didn't win best ending
Great Pretender should have gotten at least one award, like c'mon the art and the plot was just so fresh and original
Why everyone hating on great pretender
Glad Tonikawa won best couple
Damn Eizouken clowned on everybody this year. They were at least nominated for just about every award
I’m disappointed that Danmachi wasn’t presented!
Wait... Where is black clover in the best OP section?
My friend thought this was an award that scored and rated according to the actual core of a show rather than its popularity, so we made a bet for most of the awards, and obviously, since I watched Kimetsu no Yaiba Awards 2020, I won almost everything, kinda feel bad for him.
is it just me or do you think best animation should of been Princess Connect
id:invaded didn't even get nominated for anything, sad af
MAPPA deserved this one ! they’ve been doing an amazing job with JJK
I still don't know why JJK won best antagonist with a character that it isn't an antagonist. Like, what the hell? My vote was for En (i love that guy). Also, pretty disappointed that neither Dorohedoro or The Great Pretender did't won anything.
How is Black Clover op 13 not first literally came out and broke records instantly
Let's be honest, Tensei Slime and So I'm a spider, so what? at least deserved some nominations Kumoko's VA did a damn good job portraying her situation and character, and that ED is just pure gold Tensei Slime had stunning animation and should have had a nomination with the Rimuru vs Hinata fight, well if the awards had a sound effects category Tensei Slime would have easily won with those spine chilling sound effects Also Kumoko will always be best girl
You're telling me MTDK won nothing just a nominee hell no
I feel like jujutsu should’ve won the best op because it just brings a feel to me
Y’all talking about black clover but know one piece got robbed this year to I didn’t get nominated for anything 😐
Where the f*ck is konosuba for comedy?
How is tonikawa op not a nominee😭😭😭
How did I miss this- I’m disappointed in myself😭
Personally happy Catarina won best protag, but the chat's reaction......
The show with the scam artists got scammed out of an award
Yes
Zeno Robinson as best English VA, Deku can Overhaul as best anime fight, Kaguya as best Girl, and Love is War as best comedy. I am extremely happy with these awards. Good picks all around. By the way I’m not being sarcastic I genuinely enjoy all of these picks.
I see people arguing about Great Pretender, and Jujutsu Kaisen, BUT WHAT ABOUT EIZOUKEN, HUH?!?!?!
shesh
Jujutsu Kaisen should have won best op
whoops i’m late
لعد وين هجوم العمالقه 😂
Honestly this to me was the most balanced yet and really well done considering everything going on
1:29:16 o my god
Attack on titan? Hello?
Easy breezy snub
Redo of healer should have won
Not sure why there all the same types of anime on here. Some of them are genuinely good but WHERE ARE THE JOJO FANS jk
BIEN MERECIDO TONIKAKU KAWAII EN ANIME DE ROMANCE
Man, I really want food wars back
This is run through VR right?
Why wasn't attack on titan nominated
Kaguya best girl 🥺💕
So happy for Eizouken, Fruits Basket and Kaguya sama's awards... Though, I think best fight should have been for ENDEAVOR and NOUMU... and anime of the year, definitely to Great pretender. Great story, great character design and animation. Very balanced in every aspect and an ORIGINAL story, which is not an easy thing to do. Well, part of me already knew the mainstream anime of the year would win. (not saying JJK is bad... But it's not even complete)
are the 50 judges all weebs
HOW WAS DEMON SLAYER NOT ON BEST ANIMATION
@Carlos yeah
It may be next year awards since demon slayer season 2 is happening this year
imagine not watching watching the black clover fight scene
shoyo is THE best boy
Where tf is ruka for best girl???
The one and only award i agree with is the best voice actor (jp) the guy did it incredibly
cf
Love is War OP2 is still number 1 in my opinion
HOW DID KAKAI KITAN NOT WIN BEST OP? Edit: Wild Side is actually really good too. hmmmmm...
It was just a battle between a few. I was hoping to find some new ones to watch but nope.
Me: yay new anime to watch
GREAT PRETENDER DESERVED BETTER!!!😣😖😭
23:10 Song?
I really hoped Rachel would be the best antagonist I just wanna 🤜 👧
Great pretender was robbed
i cant stop starring at the Stand Arrow...
Beyblade chain
ngl but this was bs im pretty sad aot wasnt in it and naruto and demon slayer and hxh tho i love mha and haikyu! but i was pretty excited for it
What did he say to the final episode 0-0 my hope as been crush i wanted a 1 piece kisen TvT
Well, I'm hyped for Princess of Snow and Blood.
1:29:10
Lewl most people were just gunning for JJK and AOT even though it wasn’t in the awards but great pretender deserved at least one award smh
Rachel as a antogonist WhA?? I'm at the 2-3 chapter in webtoon...
It has boring, too fast pace
Wen I tell you I wheezed for toilet bound for best animation, I did. Y'all better show some appreciation on it, Tbhk is absolutely amazing
We're Pico Of boku no Pico Of
When best opening is beastars opening 1 but that came out in 2019
It didn’t get nominated last years awards, well deserved for Beastars :)
GP got hoed but I'm glad they got nominated for things unlike akudama drive
go fruits basket go go fruits basket go
jujutsu kaisen really deserved the lost in paradise award
IM SO OROUD OF SHOYO FOR WINNING BEST BOY
Me: depressed that One Piece had zero nominations for one of its greatest arcs.
I don’t think they add long running show anymore
jajajajaa AOT won all of these
LETS GOOO TONIKAWA BEST COUPLE THATS ALL I WANTED LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
How did black clover not even get NOMINATED for best OP The hell? Edit 1: How the hell was great pretender nominated for best anime of the year. The second season was awful and the first season kept killing people and bringing them back to life. Edit 2: Black Clover wasn't nominated. I'm just disappointed. Did they forget it. Have they watched op 10 or 13 or ending 10 or 12. How the hell the devil not nominated for best antagonist. He made the elf arc so much better. How are Noelle or mimosa nominated. I'll even take Charlotte. How is Asta or Yami not best boy. How is Black Clover not recognized as one of the best scores. I'd personally throw off Beastars score. How was one piece not nominated for anything. I must have something wrong, maybe only new anime, but then my hero can't be here. How was Borutos op not recognized as well, chuck great pretenders off. It was overrated. Is this for 2019? Did I miss that. Did AOT start 2020 or 2021 because it should have gotten some if it started 2021.
I'm happy that katarina won the best protagonist cuz I love hamefura
I!
Everybody talking about jujustu kaisen awards like great pretender wasn't in every category too
Welcome to demon school iruka kun, should have been nominated for best comedy
1:27:40
I'm so frickin excited for oddtaxi
Not me being so happy because jjk won
These awards should have been awarded best comedy.
Dorohedoro was robbed so hard.
Black Clover better return
Why were they basically the same anime’s for almost all the awards
This year was awesome wow! see yall for next year! (:
Yes, Jujutsu Kaisen the King of Anime 2020
Catarina Claes won best protagonist!? YAAAAAAAAS QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
Bruh that’s some BS
Subaru probably won va because of how horrifying his death screams are 😭
am i crazy or did i see high guardian spice in this video? i swear there was but i cant find that clip anymore
best couple robbed
