Anime fans worldwide are looking forward to March 2, 2024. It is the day on which the Crunchyroll Anime Awards will be held. Like every year, there are a lot of expectations surrounding the award ceremony. Several big names, like Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, etc., have been nominated in several categories of the prestigious award ceremony.
Crunchy roll Anime Awards is like the Academy Awards of anime, so people are eagerly waiting for the day to arrive. While several anime have been nominated in separate categories, fans believe Jujutsu Kaisen might win the prestigious Anime of the Year Award since it was one of the most popular and dominant anime in 2023. Moreover, it holds the most number of nominations at Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
Jujutsu Kaisen Might Swoop Away With The Anime of the Year
Jujutsu Kaisen, hands down, is one of the most popular anime of 2023. The fans were eagerly waiting for season 2, and even amidst the MAPPA controversy, the anime delivered in every aspect, including plot-wise, animation-wise, character-wise, opening theme song-wise, etc. The only complaints the fans had were the deaths of their fan-favorite characters. But those deaths spiced up the Shibuya Incident arc.
As a result, Jujutsu Kaisen has received quite a few nominations at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, which include the Anime of the Year, Best Continuing Series, Best Animation, Best Character Design, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Action, Best Supporting Character, Best Anime Song, Best Opening Sequence, Best Ending Sequence, and Best Voice Artist Performance (Japanese, Latin Spanish, Portuguese, French).
Fans are starting to believe Jujutsu Kaisen might take home the Anime of the Year Award in front of Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer. The number of nominations is evidence that it was probably Jujutsu Kaisen’s year. It was the best, and that is why it received so many nominations. In the Best Supporting Character category, both Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto are nominated. So, JJK winning and taking home the most prestigious award might not be a distant dream anymore.
Fans Will Decide Jujutsu Kaisen’s Fate
Even though the fans have started to believe that Yuji Itadori and Co. will win the Anime of the Year Award, it is ultimately them who will decide the result. The Crunchyroll Anime Awards uses a voting mechanism to decide the winner of each category. The fans can give their vote for their favorite anime, and there is also a judging panel. Fans can vote on the official website of Crunchyroll. The voting lines began on January 17, 2024, and will close on January 27, 2024, at 11:59 PM, according to the Pacific Time.

So, there is plenty of time for the fans to cast their votes. Apart from the anime, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga reached its peak when Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna clashed. From every corner, it looks like Gege Akutami’s magnum opus will leave other popular anime like Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, etc., behind. But everything depends on the fans. They will be the ultimate game-changer.
Crunchyroll Anime Awards will stream on the official website of Crunchyroll on March 2, 2024, with Megan Thee Stallion as the host.
