Anime of the Year
AnimeDevilman Crybaby won this, one of two wins for the show tonight alongside Best Director for Masaaki Yuasa.
Hosted by voice actress Cristina Vee and livestreamed on Twitch, the 3rd Crunchyroll Anime Awards crowned Devilman Crybaby Anime of the Year and gave My Hero Academia season 3 four wins, the most of any show that night.
The third Crunchyroll Anime Awards, hosted by voice actress Cristina Vee and streamed live on Twitch, handed My Hero Academia's third season four wins: Best Antagonist for All For One, Best Boy for Izuku Midoriya (on his third straight nomination), Best VA Performance (English) for Christopher Sabat's All Might, and Best Fight Scene for the All For One/All Might showdown. *A clean sweep of the categories it was built for.*
But the night's biggest prize went elsewhere. Devilman Crybaby took Anime of the Year, and its director Masaaki Yuasa won the very first Best Director award handed out at this ceremony, a category new for 2019 alongside Best VA Performance (Japanese and English) and Best Character Design.
Megalobox led all nominations with eight, but walked away empty-handed. My Hero Academia's spinoff film Two Heroes won Best Film, Dragon Ball Super took Best Continuing Series, and Bones president Masahiko Minami flew in to accept the Industry Icon Award in person. Best Score sat out this edition entirely, dropped along with Best Drama, Best Comedy, Best CGI, and Best Manga, while Best Fight Scene made its return after a year off.
Sixteen categories, one ceremony, zero surprises about who'd sweep and who'd take the top prize instead. Full breakdown below.
