| yaoi on ice !! well deserved x) |
 |
| >Kemono Friends >""Animation"" of the Year I know it's less about the actual animation, but... Hell, Kemono Friends isn't even that great. >Yuri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 on Ice Crunchyroll Anime Awards strikes back. |
 |
Best Script & Original Story: Kinoko Nasu (the Fate series) Best Sound and Performance: Yuki Kajiura (Princess Principal) Very nice, I really should check out Princess Principal sometime Kemono Friends though..... |
 |
| Animation of the Year: Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni (Film) I'm happy that film got the award, It's a very beautiful and emotional film. I watched it when it came out here in Japan and it made me cry in parts. As person who has visit Hiroshima and been to Kure few times, it just hit me even harder. Kemono Friends (Television) Come on... really now? Have feeling NEET's and Otaku's had something to do with that one. |
 |
| Fan Award Yuri!!! on Ice (Television) Oh, I have nothing against gays or figure skating, but I feel more and more that this title will win in contests even 50 years later, when I will be an old man. @Swagernator I doubt that this anime became cult only because of the yaoi pairing, which suddenly became a canon in the end. People can not be so petty, are they? |
 |
| War stories always getting awards, no matter if they are good or not. At least Kemono Friends got its deserved highlight, as it's one of the best things from the past few years. |
 |
| Animation of the Year Kemono Friends (Television) Individual Awards Best Director: Tatsuki (Kemono Friends) based Tatsuki well deserved |
 |
| No, pls. Not that Yuri on Ice again... |
| lalalala lalalala oh Welcome to the Japari Park |
| Gotta love the 2016 anime winning the 2018 awards. |
 |
| It's funny that most of the people who criticize Kemono Friends for winning didn't even watch the show. |
 |
| And the award for the best dish goes to mouldy bun dropped on a dirty sidewalk. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Fan Award Yuri!!! on Ice (Television) It's amazing.. In various way.. XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Who would've thought an ugly CGI anime would actually win this time. gahahaha |
fun things are fun  |
| Oh! Best Sound and Performance: Yuki Kajiura (Princess Principal) ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ Omedetou! |
| Ok so I haven't watched kemono whatever but I thought the animation was by far the weakest part of the show. Riddled with CGI and choppy frames. Yet it wins best animation! At least Yuki Kajiura got an award for that godlike OST. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Aaww, I'm happy they recognized Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni greatness :3 |
 |
| Kemono Friends? Animation of the year? Pick one. The Best Director award is fine though. |
 |
| Looks like Japan doesn't think CG is bad thing. Not a fan of Kono Sekai, bored me but quality is subjective thing, so yeah. Old anime fag: Old anime is better than modern anime because old anime don't have CG. Japan give CG anime award. Old anime fag: B-but it has CG! |

| 'America is a stolen country' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM8WZ0ztMuc Zapredon said: It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| Tatsuki and Kemono Friends have done it again. Congratulations! They totally deserve it. Kemono Friends really was a hidden gem last year which flew under the radar in the west. And a really big congratulations to Yuki Kajiura for the Princess Principal OST. Loved the anime,loved the soundtrack even more. |
 |
| These list deserves it except Yaoi on Ice. |
