Yaoi-Senpai said:
@tsubasalover Will you post sugoi Japan award as well on March 15?

Sazanami-Kai said:
This is why this kind of rewards is similar to Westerm Oscar Awards, all they care is popularity instead of quality.

Not Yuri on Ice again! I'm starting to hate this f****cking show. It brings the worst in people: fanatical lefitsts, mysogynistic haters, crazy, agressive yaoi fangirls, they all seem to crawl from wherever they were dwelling when this anime is concerned. It's like YOI is a work of Satan. It shouldn't win any awards, it should be forgotten.

Best Animator: Tadashi Hiramatsu (Yuri!!! On Ice)

@Hitesh_Ghugtyal @Fai

Guys seriously, can't you read the full list before posting?

Fai said:


I would understand if GITS SAC released this year but Tadashi Hiramatsu did not really do much beyond YoI lately.

Imagine being so bored with your life that you're always doing the absolute most to undermine the gay figure skating anime. At this point I feel people need to start tagging a trigger warning whenever YOI is going to be mentioned, before it puts some of you in the hospital.

Reading those hater comments makes my day, to be honest. Much salt, very angry, so 'queerbait'.
Whether you like it or not, YOI won. Just accept it and don't be sore losers each time it wins an award for Gods sake! I personally think that Kimi no Na wa is better than Koe no Katachi, but I would never hate on a show that a lot of people worked hard on. So what if a show I preferred didn't win? I'm not a twelve year old to act all salty about it.

@Fai The creators have said time and again how difficult the production process was and how much work had to go into each episode (which, spoiler alert, was a heck of a lot of work made even more difficult by time and budget constraints). Was the animation always consistent? No. Was it the best animation of the last year, objectively, probably not. Was animation sometimes sacrificed for fluidity and motion during the skating sequences, absolutely.

But you know what? When the animation was good, it was really, really damn good. Some of the skating scenes were animated breathtakingly well, which is a pretty difficult feat in and of itself. And you know what, I'm pretty darn tired of people tearing the show apart, using the same scenes and argument over and over and acting like it's animation was so darn bad and NEVER taking a moment to acknowledge the many good moments. So sure, what they aired on tv may not always have the best animation, it might not be up to par with your favorite battle shounens or whatever magic kyoani uses, but clearly there are people that enjoyed what YOI had to offer given the resources they had.

I'm not even touching the "progressiveness" issue. I'm too tired of it.

My advice to you and everyone else is this isn't the first or last time this is going to happen, so get over it, enjoy your shows and let other people enjoy theirs.

The irony of someone accusing a queer person with hating the show because of lgbt pairing is hilarious.

Progressive content does not suddenly excuse the issues the show had nor stop critique.

I think that's a matter of perspective and understanding. You don't like it that the show is getting hated when you personally found it to be damn good, thus failing to understand why it's hated. This is where most of the fans of the show assume the hate is caused because the show is gay and further blind themselves to the flaws the show had.

People are 'salty' because there were a lot of 'better' anime out there last year that deserved attention and a show that is blindly considered a masterpiece by a lot of people was deemed to be 'better'. Of course people will be offended and angry.

I'm sure the first point u made goes both ways, just wanted to point that out.

"I think that's a matter of perspective and understanding. You don't like it that the show is getting loved when you personally found it to be bad, thus failing to understand why it's loved. This is where most of the haters of the show assume the love is caused because the show is gay and further blind themselves to the good qualities the show had."

Now, in regards to your second point, these 'better' anime that deserved attention, are actually for the most part based on these 'peoples' different views and tastes.

Now, YOI being blindly considered a masterpiece and 'better' than all these other shows people liked, yes, there are people who do blindly think that, but you forget that this is an actual award given to the anime, that critics in Japan actually judged from their own perspectives and decided that it did in fact deserve the award.

joe_g7 said:
In this case I was not directing that to the critics, but to the fans of the show. But being a critic doesn't make you immune to bad decisions, generally speaking.

AdolTheRed said:

But what I really dislike, is when people try to pass off their opinions as actual facts, not including the aspects of a show that can actually be judged objectively.
