Well, it's almost that time of the year again. The time when the secret society at Crunchyroll begin to crunch the numbers on this year's anime and try to pick winners for - Oh, oh you didn't know? The nominees eligible for the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards ends after the Summer 2024 season. So the best anime for the 2025 awards will be anime from Fall 2023 to Summer 2024. Makes perfect sense! What also makes sense is Attack on Titan winning awards for their special episode, Demon Slayer sweeping up categories for their short season, and Jujutsu Kaisen making a surprise appearance to, once again, clean up the remaining awards. (Writing this hurt me on the inside...)

Jokes aside, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage sit down to discuss their predictions for the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards; which anime will the judges speak highly of versus which ones the baka bois feel deserve the grand prize. Which anime make their lists? And what bold predictions will be made about the upcoming award season? Be sure to share your lists with us as well!

We've all gone through this experience before; an anime you love or a manga you just can't put down, out of nowhere, gets the ax. The sudden realization leaves you in a state of shock, not sure if you should vent your frustration online or simply cry in the corner of your room while clutching the few pieces of merch you have from that series. And whether its poor viewership, abysmal sales, or a lack of fan support, fans are always left clueless as to why their favorite series is being dropped. But what if they had a second chance? What if you could revive a dead series and give it an opportunity to live yet again? This week's episode is all about series we would love to see come back for a second chance at life! Tune in to find out which manga and anime series are on their lists, and let us know what would be on yours as well!
