It’s awards season! For Anime that is, and Crunchyroll’s 6th Annual Anime Awards is almost here! Shaping up to be a pretty interesting one if you ask me. From Anime of the Year, Best Boy and Best Girl, Best Protagonist and Best Score? I’m excited to find out who’s taking home what.
Anime of the Year we have 86 Eighty Six, Attack on Titan Final Season Part 1, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, Oddtaxi, Ranking of Kings and Sonny Boy. I have a bit of a bias when it comes to Jujutsu Kaisen but I’m gonna keep my fingers crossed for it. It’s got some good competition!
Next up with have Best Protagonist: Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan, Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen, Joe of Megalobox, Odokawa of Oddtaxi, Bojji from Ranking of Kings and Ai Ohto of Wonder Egg Priority. Again, would love if my boy Yuji took it home, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Lastly, Best Animation is shaping up to be quite the hit. Your nominees are: Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc, Jujutsu Kaisen, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Vivy -Fluorite Eye’s Song- and Wonder Egg Priority. I won’t lie, my bias is coming out again. I love Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen and Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. They all deserve to win!
I’m excited to see how these awards are going to go. With plenty of categories left to go, it’ll be interesting to see who brings home an award and who goes home with nothing. Will you check out the awards?
The 6th annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards results will be revealed on Wednesday, February 9th at 9am PST/ 11am CST on their official website and all of Crunchyroll’s social media channels.
