Voting is open for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024, along with presenters, nominees and our major winner predictions.
There were many new and returning fan-favourite anime series in 2023, some with a cult following and some were quite popular! While Twitter/X and Reddit threads can be a great place to contest the best anime of the year with each other, you can now vote for which of the nominated anime shows in each category will win at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024. The famed award show will return to Tokyo’s Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa. The presentation is stacked with celebrities in the anime scene, such as rapper Megan Thee Stallion, Marvels star Iman Vellani and famed Japanese singer-songwriter LiSA.
Kenichiro Yoshida, Chairman and CEO of Sony Group Corporation will return again to deliver opening remarks at the Anime Awards live ceremony, which voice actress Sally Amaki and entertainer Jon Kabira will host. Anime Awards 2024 voting is open now through Saturday, January 27 at 11:59 PT (2:59 ET) on the Crunchyroll website. The results will be announced at the live ceremony on Saturday, March 2, and through the livestream.
Some very high prospects of potential winners include BOCCHI THE ROCK! with 10 noms, Chainsaw Man with 15 nominations (in the main categories), and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 with 13 nominations (in the main categories). 【OSHI NO KO】 is another high prospect of winning a bunch of awards with its 11 noms and its cult following from fans. Of course, VINLAND SAGA SEASON 2 has been another heavy fan-favourite series—which is returning to the Anime Awards with 5 nominations.
From the film categories, Suzume up for a massive 3 noms where all the films are pretty much only in the Best Film category. Will Suzume be able to capture the wins on all their nominations, potentially. It will be tough in the music categories since it will be up against some strong contenders with sublime, iconic songs and scores from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, Chainsaw Man and【OSHI NO KO】.
The Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini stated how there are “more than 30 anime studios, 5 streaming platforms, 50 series and films, and over 50 voice actors” representing the nominees list this year. Megan Thee Stallion noted her excitement: “Watching anime is one of my favorite things to do! I love cosplaying all of my favorite characters, I love the storytelling, and I love getting inspiration from the different anime art styles! I’m really excited for the opportunity to attend and present an award at this year’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards.”
As a special treat to anime fans this year, Crunchyroll specially selected nominated series streaming on the platform for fans to enjoy watching on its AVoD (advertising-based video-on-demand) catalogue. Again, do not forget to vote, voting is now open until Saturday, January 27 at 11:59 PT (2:59 ET) on the Crunchyroll website.
