Anime of the Year
AnimeJujutsu Kaisen season 2 took this, the first of eleven trophies the show picked up tonight. Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Bocchi the Rock!, and [Oshi No Ko] all had real cases, but nobody was catching this one.
34 million fans voted at the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, a record at the time, and Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 walked away with eleven trophies, including Anime of the Year.
Two years before Demon Slayer would go on its own trophy run, the eighth Crunchyroll Anime Awards belonged entirely to Jujutsu Kaisen. Season 2's Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident arcs turned into eleven wins across the board: Anime of the Year, Best Director for Shota Goshozono, Best Action, Best Cinematography, Best Character Design, both Best Opening and Best Ending Sequence, Best Supporting Character for Satoru Gojo, and three separate voice acting trophies. *Eleven, out of a show that hadn't even finished its arc yet.*
Chainsaw Man had the loudest nomination count of the night, 25 in total, more than anyone else on the ballot, and still only walked away with six wins: Best New Series and a five-language sweep of the dubbed voice acting categories for Denji and Power. Demon Slayer's Swordsmith Village Arc picked up the categories this edition still called Best Fantasy and Best Art Direction, years before those categories would get folded into what's now Best Background Art.
Suzume took Best Film for Makoto Shinkai and CoMix Wave, a rare non-shonen entry among the frontrunners. And 34 million fans voted this year, a record at the time, with Megan Thee Stallion among the celebrity presenters handing out trophies alongside longtime hosts Sally Amaki and Jon Kabira. There was no Global Impact Award yet either, that category wouldn't exist for another year.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 took this, the first of eleven trophies the show picked up tonight. Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Bocchi the Rock!, and [Oshi No Ko] all had real cases, but nobody was catching this one.
Kouji Etou's work on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba's Swordsmith Village Arc won this, a category that wouldn't survive many more editions before getting folded into Best Background Art.
Teppei Itou took this for Jujutsu Kaisen, beating a field that leaned heavily on Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer's visual work.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba won this over a genuinely stacked genre field. One of ufotable's two wins tonight.
Suzume took this for Makoto Shinkai and CoMix Wave Films, a rare win for a non-franchise film in a category usually dominated by shonen adaptations.
One Piece won this, beating out a field that included Vinland Saga. The Straw Hats were already doing this in 2024.
Chainsaw Man took this, one of the show's six wins despite leading the night with 25 total nominations, more than anyone else on the ballot.
Buddy Daddies took the trophy built for shows without a manga to lean on, a quiet, well-liked original in a year dominated by franchise heavyweights.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba's Swordsmith Village Arc won this, ufotable's second trophy of the night.
Tadashi Hiramatsu's designs for Jujutsu Kaisen won this, beating [Oshi No Ko], Demon Slayer, and Chainsaw Man for the honor.
Shota Goshozono took this for Jujutsu Kaisen, one of the season's signature wins and part of the show's eleven-trophy sweep.
Jujutsu Kaisen won this too, beating Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man for a genuinely stacked category. The Shibuya Incident arc had no shortage of material to work with.
Spy x Family won this over a lighter field, proof the spy family formula still worked a full season in.
Attack on Titan took this in one of its final award-season runs, beating Chainsaw Man and [Oshi No Ko] for the trophy.
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces won this, beating out the field for a quieter, more grounded love story than the genre usually rewards.
Bocchi the Rock! took this, converting its cult following into an actual trophy. One win from four nominations, but the one that mattered most to its fans.
Monkey D. Luffy won this for One Piece, a genuinely rare honor for a character who's been around since before most of this ballot's other nominees existed.
Satoru Gojo won this for Jujutsu Kaisen, one of eleven trophies for the show and arguably its most inevitable win of the night.
Anya Forger won this for Spy x Family, a result about as controversial as gravity.
YOASOBI's Idol, the [Oshi No Ko] opening theme, won this and went on to become one of the biggest anime songs of the decade. Genuinely hard to overstate how big this one got.
Hiroyuki Sawano's score for Attack on Titan took this, beating a field that included Demon Slayer's Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina and Chainsaw Man's Kensuke Ushio.
Tatsuya Kitani's opening theme for Jujutsu Kaisen won this, one of two music trophies for the show tonight.
Soushi Sakiyama's ending theme for Jujutsu Kaisen won this too, the show's second music win of the night.
Yuuichi Nakamura won for voicing Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen, one of three voice acting trophies the show picked up tonight.
Ryan Colt Levy won for voicing Denji in Chainsaw Man, the first of what became a five-language sweep for the character.
Emilio Treviño's Denji made it two languages for Chainsaw Man's dub sweep, beating a genuinely global field.
Joel Gómez Jiménez's Denji extended the streak into Castilian Spanish, Chainsaw Man's third dub-language win of the night.
Martial Le Minoux broke the pattern here, winning for voicing Getou Suguru in Jujutsu Kaisen rather than continuing Chainsaw Man's streak.
Franziska Trunte won for voicing Power in Chainsaw Man, a different character from the same show carrying the dub sweep into German.
Mosè Singh's Denji made it four languages for Chainsaw Man, beating out a field that leaned on Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer performances.
Leonardo Rabelo won for voicing Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen, the show's third and final voice acting trophy of the night, and its eleventh win overall.
