The ANN Aftershow
And the Winner for Best Anime of the Year is....
by Lynzee Loveridge, James Beckett, & Jacki Jing,
Jacki, James, and Lynzee talk about the nominees for the Oscars (The Boy and the Heron! Godzilla Minus One!) and Crunchyroll's Anime Awards. What was snubbed? What anime is over-represented? Who do you think will win?
Also, we're checking in on Jinwoo is Solo Leveling, Mari Okada's latest film maboroshi, and which Delicious in Dungeon food we would actually eat.
The ANN After Show streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter Spaces on Tuesdays at 6pm PT/9pm ET. You can listen to the podcast version on Wednesdays on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. The ANN After Show is part of the BLEAV Network.
