The anime of the year has been awarded and recognized by the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo for the 8th annual celebration, and it is none other than Jujutsu Kaisen. That being said, it is only one of nearly a dozen awards claimed by the series at the event, leading the pack among other big winners such as the ever-popular Demon Slayer.
Absolutely obliterating the competition, Jujutsu Kaisen took home wins in the categories of Anime of the Year, Best Action, Best Character Design, Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Opening Sequence, Best Ending Sequence, as well as Best Voice Actor Performance in French, Brazillian Portuguese, and Japanese for a whopping ten awards.
Other winners in a variety of categories include titles such as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, [Oshi No Ko], Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, and One Piece, as well as several more.
34 million votes came in from over 200 countries, with the Anime Awards celebration breaking a record of its own. Despite the complete domination of the event by Jujutsu Kaisen, we have included the full list of winners and categories for you to check out below.
