About this episode

The episode discusses the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, reflecting on the event's significance and the winners.

We discuss the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards. It’s the ten year anniversary for the award show, but there wasn’t much to celebrate. We share our thoughts on the award show and all the winners, question whether an independent third party should be running things, wonder if anyone will ever take down Anya Forger and One Piece, and bask in the glory of Bakugo’s deserved recognition.
