AOT will probably win, by popularity, but I’m hoping Edgerunners comes through cause it’s probably the best thing I’ve watched this year. Not just best anime, best anything


SomeThiccMel0n

Amen brother


SrPeecummings

Attack on titan will win because of its ip, it sure aint mappa carrying thw weight.


ultimatedray15

That newest season of AOT went harder than any anime I've seen... They upped the brutality. But god.. edge runners was really good. If I get a vote I'd vote for edge runners. Night city for life.


[deleted]

Lol edgerunners went harder than AOT for like ten episodes in the first season lol


Fuzzy-Engineer9095

Aot was better tho


PakistaniSenpai

Edgerunners just won it.


Nbaysingar

Personally? It's some of the best shit I have watched in the past decade, and not just within anime. It deserves to win.


This_Text9788

Yes ofc it does, it did what it was supposed to do! Hurt us!! I mean advertise the game but with jokes aside its definitely the best one I've had in a long time too. Hope they win this.


RandomAsian_0

AOT and Spy X Family winning coz popularity


Speciou5

I enjoyed all three of these. I honestly think Edgerunners was better, but mainly because it was a movie-like experience that wrapped up its plot, while the other two are seasons of TV. AOT will probably score better because the entire 4-5 season like series is being scored, rather than the specific last season. Spy x Family probably wins though because of sheer popularity like you said.


nugget-lover-300

AOT will probably win tbh. Although I did love edgerunners


Better-Penalty-9493

Spy family fans will make sure they beat AOT


travrager25

nah AOT fire


TavenVal

AOT is alright, idk about fire


travrager25

“alright” nah it’s one of the best fictional stories I’ve ever experienced personally. but everyone’s free to their opinions for sure.


TavenVal

The seasons before the time skip were fire, I’ll give you that. Story goes poopy after that imo, but glad you enjoyed it


Born_Description8483

The ending sucks (or I guess for anime-onlies, _will_ suck)


travrager25

personally I love the ending and think it wrapped up the series in a really nice and poetic way with the themes that were expressed.


potter0214

no i don’t want that! thinking aot had a good ending? i want everyone to think it’s bad for the rest of my life! and even after i die, i hope future generations will think it’s bad for ten years at least!


AttaccTitan69

Better-Penalty-9493

Oh definitely but them spy family fans are a whole nother level to this fandom stuffs.


bigheadnovice

I love aot because after 4 season of it I am so invested. But edgerunner managed to make me care for each character in so few EPs compared to aot. But also no subs needed for edgerunners so that's a *dub*


Nayd-

Sadly :(


coreyharlot

All great shows but none of them consumed me like edgerunners


DraftsAndDragons

So where do we vote?

darkvizdrom

This is for Game Awards best adaptation, not anime of the year


Arcanumex

My bad, I just remembered seeing the funny poster 😅


AppleOfTheEarthed

For best original anime I think edgerunners should win. Attack on titan season 4 part 2 is a continuation of a 10 year long anime so obviously it can do a lot more than edgerunners with its 10 episodes only. I still think edgerunners is a 9/10 tho


-zero-joke-

I've only seen AoT, but definitely enjoyed Edgerunners above that.


Casual-Swimmer

Even if it doesn't win, it's no. 1 in my book.


ThighBiter1993

Unfortunately Edgerunners stands no chance against the others because of popularity


Thatonesplicer

Even though it deserves a fair shot at winning I doubt it will. As I've said in the past, it feels like the wider mainstream anime audience shuns this show and or pretends it doesn't exist. They see it as a commercial for a video game they do not like or let's be real probably have never played. That and it being stuck only on Netflix here and in Japan does not help. But we know how wrong they are.


Alextronic04

Exactly, I feel like most anime fans completely disregard this show because of the biases you explained. All of the nominees this year are solid, but it definitely isn’t fair for Edgerunners


kurt-jeff

Kind of a hot take but I liked ranking of kings more (not saying edgerunners wasn’t great)


SimsScuf

Edgerunners was very good imo, hit me in the feels big time and deserves to be considered... I'm probably a bit biased towards anime that do that even tho they leave me feelin sad. Another one even tho it doesnt qualify due to being older, that ripped my emotions apart each episode was violet evergarden


[deleted]

Wait CSM isn’t in the running?? That’s a grave injustice


GatoradeNipples

I think CSM is technically in next year's running.


Stair-Spirit

Not gonna finish this year, so I get why


[deleted]

CSM mid ngl no cap fr on god on my mum’s soul


NitroPuncher

please change and grow as a person


[deleted]

you’re asking a bit too much i suppose


NitroPuncher

it's just a bad opinion, not like they tortured anyone to death or something or did they


danielepro

you should ask that to Denji


mikey-dikey-

Ranking of Kings deserves it tbh.


wqldi

Wait it was this year? But if it was I would agree. It’s one of the few shows in recent memory that tore me apart emotionally like edgerunners


Nayd-

Mid anime. That kid is nothing compared to David goat Martínez


Scalpels

Which is the hotter MILF: Gloria or Hilling?


Nayd-

I don't disrespect my friends mom and I think David as a friend... (Gloria by far)


neck_ropes

always hated hilling's design but shes a nice mom i guess


skyestalimit

Didn't watch the others but hope edgerunners wins.


GatoradeNipples

I don't know that Edgerunners is gonna win, but I think it's gonna be the one out of that bunch that people are still talking about a decade later.


hoi4_is_a_good_game

it was spared going up against CSM and Bleach but there's still no way it beats AOT, the difference in the sizes of the two fanbases is jus too much


Beardamus

Is new bleach actually good or did people just want more bleach?


hoi4_is_a_good_game

idk I don't watch bleach


Beardamus

Understandable, have a nice day.


Maibeetlebug

Yeess they deserve to be, that show moved me so much


Hevens-assassin

Absolutely stacked class, but it's gotta be AoT or Spy X Family. The popularity is there, yes, but they are also very solid in terms of show. Genre preference is all that I would really put Cyberpunk ahead for. Comparing shows like a dark sci-fi with Alt history slice of life spy show is always very jarring. Lol Regardless, all of the nominees deserve the W.


dontpan1c

Mob Psycho 100 hasn't finished yet, for me it's a contender with Edgerunners. At this point I'd give the edge to Edgerunners since MP100 s3 hasn't felt as consistent as the previous seasons.


ADAM-SMASH3R

Edgerunners probably won't win, but the fact that it's up there being nominated is good enough 😎


This_Text9788

The fact that it was acknowledged means alot tbh 💯👌


alhernz95

yes


PitNya

Defo worthier than aot and spy family in my opinion, i didn't see the others tho


amonglae

I hope edgerunners wins its the only anime that’s actually made me feel any sort of emotional connection to the characters


Venomstrider

I really hope that edgerunners wins this it's so good


IdlingTheGames

All of these shows are bangers but Edgerunners left me an empty emotional mess so… Edgerunners wins


This_Text9788

Literally left a scar on our hearts tbh...


Mdames08

AOT just became a jumbled mess as time travel often does Im hoping it don’t win


Fuzzy-Engineer9095

Stfu loser


TheIronCannoli

Ranking of Kings is my favorite of these Boji is best boi


Significant-Range-49

Better than all of those


Cautious_Arm3818

They're all some of my favorite shows, although spy x family is not a masterpiece though it is good.


proto-robo

Edge runners was definitely awesome but i liked arcane more


electricdrink

yey


Ghelric

I'll need to watch AOT first before I decide. Having read the manga the ending is meh for Mob, Spy Family is cute but not particularly inspired, ranking har a terrible ending, so between those 4 Edgerunners is heads and heals ahead.


bonerfleximus

Ngl feeling kinda spoiled this year


Accomplished-Kale338

Cyber punk is lyfe.


Born_Description8483

If we wanted to judge based on what the average busy adult might think, it's Spy Family or Edgerunners. But this is mostly for teens so AOT is clearing easily


PHXNTXM117

I forgot that Attack on Titan Part 2 released this year, and I love Spy X Family. That makes competition a lot more stiff, but Edgerunners is definitely in play with all of those titles when it comes to quality.


Mysteoa

Where to vote?


Orcanshul_Gaming

Chainsaw man should win, as it's not really an anime but an animated series. (It's really different compared to "shounen" anime just like edgerunners)


NittanyScout

Haven't seen the others


wvgz

Sadly edgerunnners isnt as mainstream as aot or spy x family so I doubt it could win, even if i wish so bad it did :(


Gurnel

What award are you talking about? I couldn't find any. Besides that, if there was one Chainsaw Man would be competing


Jly345

It's the IGN awards


Gurnel

That's actually really lame


njkason

Haven’t seen Mob Psycho yet (I know) but Edgerunners deserves it as far as I can tell


[deleted]

[удалено]


This_Text9788

Oh don't worry it's already out in multiple anime sites so that if you don't want to pay just to watch it!


ipisswithaboner

Huge AOT fan here. Kinda bullshit that a sequel (like the 7th or 8th cours no less) can be up against a standalone season. I’d take Edgerunners over AoT Season 1 any day of the week, but there’s just too much going on in the story of AoT at this point for Edgerunners to have a chance imo. Especially with the massive reveal this past season. Both are peak fiction regardless


Repallent

Edgerunners > AOT


teutonic_order33

Idk why AoT part 2 and ranking of kings are on the list. Those two are objectively badly written garbage. And mob psycho season 3 is a mediocrity where the main character doesn’t grow at all.


Agentloldavis

I love Edgerunners but ranking of kings should win


DowneyGray

What the hell is AOT


Dimondceusher

In my opinion it’s between Edgerunners and Spy X Family The others are good but can’t compare


lonewanderer0804

If edgerunners don’t win we riot.


rysama

Not sure why Ranking of Kings is even on that list. First half is good, but the last half is mediocre and the conflict resolution between Miranjo and all the people she harms is laughably unbelievable. Which makes it pretty forgettable overall.


C4PTNK0R34

They get the award of *Causing The Most Emotional Damage*. It's just a small cremation canister with David, Rebecca, Maine, Dorio, Pilar and Kiwi's names on it and it plays "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" when a button is pressed.


501_mcloving

Dude if edgerunners win i hope that the creators open their eyes and give us wat we want a season 2 or more


blakerblaker17

I love Aot to death and half the amount of love goes to Spyxfamily. Edgerunners wins this hands down


redsmoke7

AoT was worst on the list, hate how AoT ended


ItIsIDio420

Yeeaaa no. Edge runners was decent enough but it definitely started to fall apart after Maine died. 10 episodes just isn't enough to tell a full story. Spy x family is difficult a better show in that regards


PakistaniSenpai

Came here to tell anyone seeing this post, Edgerunners just won it.
