Anime Crunchyroll awards or RGT Anime awards?

[KenaiPhoenix]

Ok so before the obvious 'Crunchyroll bad' I wanted to kind of roll a poll on what would you prefer or which one would you trust more (regardless of your feelings against awards ceremonies, they will just still exist):

The Crunchyroll awards: a more cropo award with some kind of popular poll that in the end just get curated by judges (right now, iirc is like 70% judges and 30% popular vote). The votes themselves are more controller since you need an account of a more tightly corporation system.

RGT anime Awards: a fore free form award where everyone can create an account, verify its mail, and vote. A simple system which just each vote goes directly to the anime and the ones with the most votes wins



At simple looks many will just go for the RGT Anime awards since it is less controlled, but I want to put this in this different perspective: Since it is more controlled, Crunchyroll can avoid brigading by streamers or just normies that watch half an anime vote for the popular one because someone made a viral post online. On the other side, a more controlled 'award' can twist what was actually popular and what the people that watch anime actually liked in favor of what the companies or the critics think is more appropriated.

PS: I know, many of you 'dont care about awards', but this is more of an exercise of 'What would do you do if you didnt have breakfast this morning'.

It's not that I don't care about westerner anime rewards (I don't lol) but I wonder if anime studios and producers care about those. I feel that westerner influence on the medium is generally overstated, but I haven't really looked into that.
What is the winner awarded anyway? Cash money? A golden (plated) statuette (of the main heroine)?

Neither. This is a Retro Video Game Forum..

Mm well, both sides have some good & bad. Like I can propose hypothotical scenarios where both sides can be good.
But at the end of the day if you wanted to get the most honest opinions & general agreement about some anime (or game!), the Crunchyroll awards might be a biiiit better.

On the flipside...
Crunchyroll would say God Hand gets an IGN 3/10!
RGT would say Dark Souls 2 is a terrible game & create unfair bias against it amongst the users!

Nah we kinda need both sides otherwise we can't distribute the evil!

Most of the people here I've spoken about anime with tend to have pretty good taste so I'd much prefer to get a consensus on anime from users here than the a Crunchyroll subscriber.

Don't care about the opinion of neither, so both options are to be equally disregarded.

Agreed. Having an award for best anime of a year is pretty stupid. Just enjoy what you watch and discuss it with people.

I thought that this was simply a name choice.
Anyways, i won't participate on this.

Duh we're all pirates hello!

I voted RGT, I don’t think anyone should take it seriously, it’s just opinions at the end of the day. I’m just curious of what people would choose.

I'm on the Kingdom Hearts II side of the spectrum but this video is timeless and never ceases to be funny
