Kids Choice Awards 2025: When Slime is More Important Than the Oscars
In the parallel universe where awards are measured in liters of green goo and not golden statuettes, Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards return to remind us that true glamour comes in fluorescent color. This year, the battle for the "Favorite Cartoon" title includes a surprise: an anime competing against Western classics. Because nothing unites cultures like seeing Goku covered in slime. 💚
"In these awards, the real trophy is appearing on national television covered in sticky substance"
Anime Crashes the Party
Dragon Ball Daima is the unexpected guest in this edition, proving that:
- Times have changed: Anime is no longer just for otakus in basements
- The competition is tough: SpongeBob has more awards experience than Meryl Streep
- Kids are in charge: They decide with their digital votes
- Crunchyroll is smiling: Its content competes in the mainstream
The Veterans Don't Lower Their Guard
The nominees include cartoons that have been on air longer than some political careers:
- SpongeBob: The undisputed king of the KCA (and of pineapples under the sea)
- The Simpsons: Who remain relevant despite having predicted the future 30 times
- Teen Titans Go!: Because superheroes also know how to laugh at themselves
- The Loud House: The large family that makes yours seem calm
A competition where everyone has merits... but only one will receive the honor of being crushed by a giant cube of slime. 🏆
Why This Matters (More Than You Think)
This nomination is not just about cartoons:
- It shows the globalization of anime in popular culture
- It proves that today's kids have more diverse tastes
- It confirms that SpongeBob is basically immortal
- It offers the hope of seeing an anime character covered in slime
The gala, hosted by Tyla on June 21, promises to be as chaotic as it is educational. Because what better lesson than learning that sometimes, losing with dignity means appearing in slow motion while 50 liters of green substance fall on you? In the end, everyone wins... especially the detergent manufacturers. 😅
