The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

Zombie Land Saga is actually a Funimation show so it's a very odd case of bias. Laid-Back as a coproduction I would've expected in more categories. Disregarding that I'm miffed that Yoshiaki Kyogoku wasn't nominated for best director.
 
Is it a funimation show? We dont know till the BDs come out actually they dont say oh this a CR show unless they produce it.
No Franxx was a surprise though as they pushed that hard.
I think the major problems is the judges are **** who are half of them They are ALL journalists no variety and that's wrong. No non japanese linked critics either like imagine Kermode (He's obviously way to expensive) But a western based critic would have been a great angle

Speaking of definitions it's pretty funny that Ainz gets nominated for best antagonist even though he's literally the protagonist.

Isn't he an anti-hero, so hard to define. Depends if he's more anti than hero or not.

Eh! They are all Western based and not ALL journalists. There were some from the industry and some just fans (one organises a CON in Europe IIRC). Having said that I only know one and that's Miranda Sanchez who does anime stuff for IGN.
Could do with an AniTuber or 2 as watching anime is their job so they tend to watch **** loads. It might mean smaller shows might get some rep. I mean how did Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens not get nominated for best ED, possibly because not enough of the judges saw it?
 
I mean non anime based. I dont want fans I dont want industry I want a clean perspective and it doesnt offer it and it shows its weird choices some dont make sense to lay people.
 
Then you will definitely get people who haven't seen enough to give a fair appraisal across the board. It'll be all the popular stuff. Maranda Sanchez does do other stuff for IGN though.
Kermode whilst he does seem to like his anime would probably only be good for the films.

I agree it's confusing with all these levels of good and bad but since he's the focal character it instantly rules him out from being the antagonist. Same goes for Satou from Happy Sugar Life. She's an absolute villain but she's still the protagonist of her show.
 
Fireworks and Night is Short wouldn't count here because both were in the cinema in 2017. Nor would Liz and the Blue Bird, for a different reason sadly.
My vote would be for Mirai even if Maquia was in.
 
But fireworks is objectively worse than Maquia it is and I don’t care about the UK Cos last year yes that had HF allowed and we didn’t etc.
I don’t like Maquia but I know it’s better but why is Mazinger on there either no clue.
 
My votes:
Protag: Retsuko
Antag: Tokushiro Tsurumi (Golden Kamuy)

Anime of the Year: APFTTU

Most were by default by not particularly getting the rest of the noms (or not seeing the show), some were the same as my seasonal or yearly vote on here.

Im amazed Magus Bride got a nom for its mediocre 2nd cour. March Comes in Like a Lion should be a shoe in for that award.

Very disappointed to see Yuru Camp get shafted.

For me Deku vs Bakugo was the best fight and highlight of MHA S3.

At least Wotakoi's Opening got some love I guess.
 
Apparently I liked MEGALOBOX more than I thought since it won quite a few of my votes. It's weird that you had to pick a dub actor to proceed; as I never watch dubs I just voted based on who had the coolest-sounding name. I assume there were plenty of dub fans in the same position with the seiyuu question.
