On this episode I'm joined by my good friend Sora from the Waifus and Weeaboos podcast! This week we're getting together to discuss the 2026 Crunchyroll Awards: going over the nominations, picking our winners, wondering where some shows are, and talking about the CR Awards process, flaws, and maybe some changes that should finally happen?? What are your picks for the CR Awards? Are you disappointed by any of the nominations? Any shows you felt were left out?
