  • I believed that Eastern animation could offer the pinnacle of direction, story-telling, and pure Sakuga art. I believed that it was misunderstood like A Silent Voice. Under-appreciated like Grave of the Fireflies. Then I watched Ex-Arm and now I don’t know what to think at all.

  • I really appreciate the idea of putting up a lot of the obscure shows that came out in the categories unlike most of the anime based award shows held recently, it really goes to show that the nominees were being selected based on the genuine enjoyment they offered and that's it.
