I know CR awards are whatever and unimportant, but…
Best film and best original I don’t really get.
I know Demon Slayer was really succesful in terms of numbers, but Chainsaw Man Reze Arc was much more highly praised.
But Lazarus I find most baffling, especially when Apocalypse Hotel is right there. I barely heard anything about it, other than that it was kind of average. It sits at 70% score on AL and 7.19 on MAL… Not really award worthy.
They really need to get away from just popularity voting if they want to be taken somewhat seriously.
