| Honestly there were definitely better anime than Sonny Boy but it deserves the nomination. The directing was amazing but the anime as a whole wasn't too good in my opinion. |

The directing was amazing but the anime as a whole wasn't too good in my opinion. I totally see what you mean. I'm certainly not disappointed since I think all the other AOTY nominations are great, besides JJK perhaps. I definitely think Shingo Natsume is easily the most deserving of the Best Director award, but with the popularity of Sonny Boy it's unlikely his nomination will go far sadly. The Crunchyroll anime awards are definitely a popularity contest rather than a contest of what's the best. So it really sucks that such a good director won't get his award. |

HoesEatinDogFood said: Guarantee it's because it's so controversial, even though it's one of if not the best anime to come out this year, they prob didn't include it because of the controversy surrounding it. Crunchyroll proving for the thousandths time that they are dumb af.I don’t understand how mushoku tensei was not nominated |

| A pleasant surprise to say the least. Glad they actually picked a good show instead of popular garbage like Tokyo Revengers or something. |
| It is the best anime of 2021 no one can disagree lol |

| How? That show was confusing as hell lol |
| Hope Sonny boy at least wins the best director award. I know AOTY is probably impossible |
Everything is Garbage except LoGH |
danielsalt said: This probably comes as a huge surprise to everyone, myself included, but Sonny Boy was nominated for Crunchyroll's Anime of the Year award, along with 86, AOT S4 Part 1, JJK 2nd Cour, Oddtaxi & Ousama Ranking. I certainly don't think Sonny Boy will go far in terms of winning the award, likely placing last or close, since it's the least popular by a large margin. Still, I'm really excited to see Crunchyroll acknowledged it and placed it over a lot of really good anime that aired in 2021! This also means a lot of curious voters might give Sonny Boy a try :) If you'd like to vote for Sonny Boy (or another anime) to be the Crunchyroll 2021 Anime of the Year you can follow this link. Additionally, Shingo Natsume (Director of Sonny Boy) was nominated for Best Director (which I think is extremely deserved, considering how involved he was in the project) What are your thoughts? Will you vote for Sonny Boy? Where do you think it will place? Crunchyroll awards are a joke for the most part. I've been calling Sonny Boy my personal anime of the year since it was still airing, and I watched a lot of seasonal anime last year. I was pretty pleased to see it get nominated for anime of the year and best director. I believe it deserves both awards but I don't see it winning. -DxP- said: How? That show was confusing as hell lol 99% of people whom I saw post online who don't like Sonny Boy don't like it simply because they don't understand what the staff were trying to do. It's fine if someone doesn't like it, but at least understand what it was trying to accomplish. Regardless, it's so obvious with the dialogue alone what it wants to say that it's odd people missed the point. Its a mystery that the director based much of the writing under the context of the absurdity and unknowingness of life. I think for a lot of people this was their first anime like this and they just found it too different to what they are used to and went hostile against it. It's something that doesn't require much thinking, but an imagination as well. In an age were so many viewers are used to a series spoon feeding them everything and who want an answer to everything, that wasn't the point or what it was trying to do. I'd suggest reading staff interviews so you can see what the director was trying to do. |
| I thought it had no chance, so I was super excited when I saw it actually got nominated. I know it still won't have a chance of actually winning the popularity vote, but I'm glad it was at least recognized by critics. Sonny Boy and Odd Taxi were far and away the two best anime of 2021. But what was equally surprising to me as the AOTY nomination is that it somehow wasn't nominated for best score??? I thought that that category would be a lock at least. Sonny Boy's ost is actually like objectively the best this year lmao. I don't typically use that word, but in this case it's just like... come on. It's the best in quite a few years imo. |
Fkyourmom said: Quality wise it should be aoty honestly, true. I think odd taxi had the better writing and characters. but sonny boy's directing, music, and visuals make it on par if not even better. I'll vote for odd taxi though, just because I don't think sonny boy has any chance to win. and my second choice is odd taxi. I really hope it wins the best direction though, specially because 86 wasn't even nominated. |

I know AOTY is probably impossible yeah with 86 and beastars not being even nominated for director, sonny boy should win by a pretty big gap. even if they were I would still give it to sonny boy, but now that they're not it shouldn't even be close. |
