The Real Anime Awards of 2022
Last year, I made my own categories for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards (including worst girl, prettiest protagonist, and biggest disappointment, among others), and it was so much fun, I decided to do it again this year, but with different categories. So without further ado, here are the nominees for the real anime awards of 2022.
Biggest Chad
Shikimori (Shikimori’s not just a cutie)
Tengen Uzui (Demon Slayer-Entertainment district arc)
Marin Kitagawa (My Dress Up Darling)
Najimi (Komi Can’t Communicate)
Aileen Dautriche (I’m The Villainess, So I’m Taming The Final Boss)...girl really said “fuck the rest of the harem game, I’m marrying the demon lord him
self”
Ranko (Akiba Maid War)
Show With The Most Drip:
Rent A Girlfriend season 2
My Dress Up Darling
Ya Boy Kongming
Vanitas No Carte season 2
Shadows House season 2
Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story
Best Trash:
Rent A Girlfriend season 2
That one harem sex slave isekai, idk I didn’t watch it
World’s End Harem
A Couple of Cuckoos
The Rising of the Shield Hero season 2
Love Flops (Yes, I know about the twist. No, that doesn’t stop it from being an amazing dumpster fire.)
Best CONCEPT For An Isekai:
The Executioner And Her Way Of Life
Isekai Ojisan
I’m The Villainess, So I’m Taming The Final Boss
Reincarnated As A Sword
Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into A Total Fantasy Knockout
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
Anime whose OP Goes The Hardest FOR NO REASON:
Gunjou no Fanfare (”Move The Soul”- JO1) ...this is a show about horse racing...
Teppen (”Top of the Laugh”- Teppen All Stars)...this is a show about stand up comedy...
Isekai Ojisan (“Story”-Mayu Maeshima)
Akiba Maid War (“Maid Daikaiten”- Ton Tokoton Staff)
Golden Kamuy season 4 (”ALI”-Never Say Goodbye feat. Mummy-D) Yes, it’s technically a drama, so the OP fits it, but we all know it’s more of a comedy. Half the time they’ll be telling a dick joke, and it will cut to this OP.
Call of the Night (“Daten”-Creepy Nuts) Seriously, think about it. Why does this OP go so hard? The show is about a guy walking around at night. They didn’t have to come for us like this, but they did, and I love it.
Best Couple: I know this used to be a Crunchyroll category, but I’m bringing it back anyway.
Sasaki and Miyano (Sasaki to Miyano)
Yor and Loid (Spy x Family)
Desumi and Fudo (Love After World Domination)
Kaguya and Shirogane (Kaguya-sama Love Is War season 3)
Tsukasa and Hinata (Life with an Ordinary Guy who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout)
*This is technically a spoiler, since the show doesn’t start as a romance...so just fyi* Aharen and Raido (Aharen-san is Indecipherable)
Biggest Surprise
Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ story
Ya Boy Kongming
Shinobi no Ittoki
Akiba Maid War
Romantic Killer
Akebi’s Sailor Uniform (went in expecting a cute slice of life…got an uncomfortable nightmare)
Smartest OP:
Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man
Mob Psycho 100 season 3
To Your Eternity season 2
Most dunked on protagonist:
Nagomu Irino (Deaimon)
Kabe-Taijin (Ya Boy Kongming)
Izumi (Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie)
Kazuya (Rent A Girlfriend)
Ataru Moroboshi (Urusei Yatsura)
Mikoto Shiratori (Ryman’s Club)
Most Ridiculous Concept For A Sports Anime That Actually Works:
Birdie Wing: Golf Girl’s Story
Ryman’s Club
Gunjou no Fanfare
Tribe Nine
Blue Lock
But who cares what I think? What categories would you make for your own anime awards?

The Real Anime Awards of 2022 part 2
A few weeks ago, I made my own joke categories for what I consider the real 2022 Anime Awards (The Real Anime Awards of 2022 part 1), but I also wanted to put the memes aside and make my real list of nominees for the real categories that Crunchyroll usually does (minus best director, best film, and best fight scene).
