The look on Frieren’s face says it all. Another year, another terrible attempt at an “awards show” that’s riddled with more corporate schmoozing than your annual Christmas party, and it comes with a whole slate of “awards” that we just can’t resist riffing on and yelling at Crunchyroll over – especially since this year’s event felt a bit off, even compared to recent years. See you back here next year? Maybe? Anyway, there are good things to talk about here, like REMOW releasing shows both old and new (if you can find them), a small dose of manga and light novel announcements with one (or two) very big titles coming stateside, GKIDS (and Toho) delivering the second shot via the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 compilation film, the Madhouse shoujo crew cooking something fierce for next year, a bit of a leak for an upcoming dub (hint: it’s Yaiba), and the JOEN consortium making a pretty interesting move for some upcoming projects.
Also, apologies once again for the tardiness – a mini-break happened between recording and release that involved seeing Metallica in the city with 75,000 other people.
