Submit Nominations Here

Previous Thread | Next Thread

Hey everybody! A couple days ago, @[email protected] reached out to me with an idea. Why don't we try to set up some year-end awards for the communities we moderate? Well, a bit of back and forth, and today, I am glad to announce that we have opened nominations for the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards. The nomination round will remain open until I post next week's general discussion thread (usually late Sunday/early Monday US time). Note that there are partner awards for the manga and light novel communities as well.

Like normal, feel free to also use this thread just like you would a normal discussion thread.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

The only thing I didn't like about it is that Kazuma is, not to put too fine a point on it, a petulant, bitchy, self-absorbed asshole

Yeah, he is, and the anime knows it, and that's what I like in this case. His assholeness is what makes the complete cast work for me. You kinda need to be a self-absorbed asshole in order to even be able to deal with someone like Aqua. Without a character like him, I don't think it would've been as funny as it is for me. He's like the mega tsukomi to everyone else's mega boke (most of the time anyway).

I can understand why others might not like that though.

That's undoubtedly true - at the very least, Aqua needs a dose of him just because it takes a sort of verbal two-by-four across the forehead to get through to her at all, and Darkness needs a dose of him because... reasons.

Still though, I just regularly want to reach into the screen and punch him in the face, and that's sort of unpleasant and exhausting.
