In a surprising turn of events at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024, the highly anticipated second season of Vinland Saga found itself overlooked in favor of Jujutsu Kaisen for the Anime of the Year title. The decision has sparked outcry and disappointment among fans, who feel that the epic Viking saga was unjustly snubbed despite being nominated in ten categories.
Fans took to social media platforms to express their frustration, with many labeling the outcome as “daylight robbery” and criticizing the credibility of the awards. Despite its critical acclaim and dedicated fanbase, Vinland Saga failed to secure a single award, leaving supporters questioning the legitimacy of the selection process.
One disgruntled fan exclaimed, “The fact that Vinland Saga didn’t win a single award just proves that this is literally the worst anime awards of all time“. Another lamented, “Can’t even think how JJK is even close to this work of art“.
The comparison between Vinland Saga and Jujutsu Kaisen has been a point of contention for many fans, who argue that while both series are exceptional, the depth and storytelling of Vinland Saga should have secured its victory.
A record breaking 34 million votes were cast by global fans.
