Jujutsu Kaisen Wins Anime of the Year at Crunchyroll Awards: How to stream the award winning anime

The fifth annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards winners have been announced and Jujutsu Kaisen leads with the most awards won.

Fifteen million global votes were cast this year across 18 different categories celebrating characters, series, creators, and more, according to Crunchyroll. That’s four million more than last year’s 11 million votes cast, with the majority of votes this year coming from the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. Due to COVID-19, the awards show was a digital event and during it, Jujutsu Kaisen took home not only the most awards but the biggest win of the night: Anime of the Year.

Jujutsu Kaisen took not only the Anime of the Year award home, but it also won the best antagonist and best ending sequence. Other winners were spread out among a few standout series including Kaguya-Sama: Love is War, which won the best comedy for the second year in a row and took home the award for the best girl as well for its title character.

Crunchyroll also honored the second season of RE: Zero with the best fantasy series and best Japanese voice performance. My Hero Academia season 4 took home a couple of prizes including best fight scene, an award that had plenty of competition this year. Finally, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! nabbed two prestigious awards this year, winning both best animation and best director.
