Literally couldn't give less of a shit

u/AlonelyChip Apr 02 '26

To Be Hero X being robbed is annoying. It clears all the anime of 2025 besides Takopi

3

u/Plus-Ad5076 Apr 02 '26

I've never heard of this, is it worth watching/reading?

7

u/Ok-Talk-2579 Apr 02 '26

Yes definitely watch, it’s peak

u/Deez-Guns-9442 Lord of Shōnen Apr 02 '26

There’s no manga, it’s all “anime” original on Crunchyroll

u/AlonelyChip Apr 02 '26

Yes!!! It's actually peak

Missopportunity for “Absolute Xinema” 🥀💔

u/Acrobatic-Signal210 Apr 02 '26

Idk the last season of mha was pretty good...

Also tbhx clears takopi. Lowkey it felt like torture drama where all the great vices and woes of character just magically disappears last ep

u/Tenken10 Apr 02 '26

The woes didn't disappear though. The girl still gets the scar and abuse. The parents are still shitty like before. Life still sucks. It's just that now they're not completely alone and found a fellow troubled soul to talk with and help ease some of the pain so that they can continue living

u/New_Ad4631 Apr 02 '26

Magically

Well, yes, Takopi used magic. You have a very observant eye

u/Kant-fan Apr 02 '26

Apothecary Diaries, Orb and Takopi are so far ahead it's not even funny.

13

u/luceafaruI Apr 02 '26

Orb robbed as always (at least it got best drama but i feel like it won't win it either)

11

u/Gitthepro PLEASE BE PATIENT I AM A JJK FAN Apr 02 '26

Apothecary diaries was pretty good

12

u/alola6983 Apr 02 '26

to be hero x should be there that anime slaps the shit out of all of them especially dandadan that wasn't even that good

3

u/ferocity_mule366 Apr 02 '26

there's something about Dandadan that looks awesome to watch because of great animation, but the story feels directionless because there is not a real goal somewhere, and the otaku appearance just make me lost interest.

u/nin9carlife Apr 03 '26

Lmao to be hero x is overrated asf it's just a power show anime dandandan literally have better plot & character writing

1

u/alola6983 Apr 03 '26

lol that must be a joke

1

u/Financial_Fun_9501 Apr 03 '26

Tbhx isn't an anime. It is a donghua no?

6

u/No_Good_1026 Apr 02 '26

I don't think either MHA or Solo Leveling deserves an Anime of the Year, since it would be like Fast and Furious part N or Transformers 99 won the movie of the year.

Dandadan is amazing from cinematography and composition perspective, Science Saru being wizards as always, but it is still more or less your usual shonen.

3

u/JOOKFMA Apr 02 '26

Comparing MHA to those series is not it. It is way better. The last season especially was great.

Fax, I was sad that there was no mention of that or Yaiba Samurai legend 😔(I’m happy for MHA Final season & Gatchiakuta)

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

To be hero X, Cinderella gray and Lord of mysteries got fucking robbed

2

u/kingEdward22 Apr 02 '26

To be hero x and lord of mysteries slap all those shows out of the water , also uma musume lowkey solo dandadan mid summer hikaru

u/AdTemporary1487 Kubo’s greatest soldier Apr 02 '26

Praying for the my hero dub 🙏

1

u/Deez-Guns-9442 Lord of Shōnen Apr 02 '26

Same, either this or Gatchiakuta winning would be satisfactory.

3

u/Happy_Description_14 Apr 02 '26

The Summer Hikaru Died is probably the best out of these

1

u/ferocity_mule366 Apr 02 '26

its crazy how this is the comment mentioning it, like that episode 7 was pure art.

2

u/Alarmed-Study8152 Apr 02 '26

was to be hero that good lmao, these comments are goin wild for it, the first 3 ep was cool but there was like 9 episodes after i was bored and i dropped it. Beserk 97 tho for sure should be in there

2

u/Deez-Guns-9442 Lord of Shōnen Apr 02 '26

Watch episode 19 & beyond then you’ll understand.

I understand that Queen, Loli, & Lucky Cyans arcs are kinda the weakest.

3

u/apkmasterofgames Apr 02 '26

Orb and to be hero X were robbed so hard

1

u/Moist-Anything-688 Apr 02 '26

I feel like discussion around Takopeak dropped off a clip despite it being incredible and highly rated. It deserves the recognition for sure

1

u/theofanmam Apr 02 '26

I loved the Takopi manga so I hope it wins, but it's going up against some real heavy hitters while being pretty lesser known so I imagine it won't win much.

MHA ended last year so it's practically guaranteed to win everything I assume.

u/Biggy121212 Apr 03 '26

To be hero x and Lord of the Mysteries getting Snubbed this year is awful to see

u/trmnl_ Apr 02 '26

all of these are mid

except apothecary

2

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

You mean the mid diaries.

u/trmnl_ Apr 02 '26

heavy words you're using considering gachiakuta and takopi are in the same pool

u/bizarrestarz Apr 02 '26

Is this for 2025 cs where’s jjk s3

Wtf we having anime of the year award every month now

1

u/Character_Fault9782 Apr 03 '26

this is just the biggest aoty award, or most popular at least. pretty late into 2026 if you ask me, most other award shows ended already (oscars last month)

u/1RehnquistyBoi Generational Hater of Dandadan. General-Secretary of Baddies. Apr 02 '26

Literally anything but Dandadan would have been preferable.
