How to Watch the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025

Keep reading to learn about nominees, ways to watch, and more.

The 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards are just around the corner. This year’s event is streaming live from Tokyo, Japan on May 25, 2025 at 4:00 a.m. ET.

Don’t worry, Western anime fans—you won’t have to miss a thing. The awards will be available to stream on YouTube and Crunchyroll any time after the fact, so you can catch every award on your own schedule. I’m particularly excited for the musical performances by Creepy Nuts, FLOW, and LiSA.

Stream this season’s nominees

This year’s nominees feature a wide array of popular titles, from DAN DA DAN to Solo Leveling. Check out our nominee roundup to catch up on the hottest anime before this year’s awards ceremony.

Stream the Crunchyroll Anime Awards

The 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards will air on Crunchyroll’s YouTube page and Twitch stream on May 25. It starts at 4:00 a.m. ET, which is a weird time for Americans because the ceremony actually takes place in Japan—and Crunchyroll takes its simulcasts very seriously.

Have a reasonable sleeping schedule? Understandable! You’ll be able to watch the Anime Awards on your own time both on YouTube and right on Crunchyroll itself.

Pro tip: Looking for the best way to catch your favorite anime? Crunchyroll’s a good bet, but you can read about every option on our comprehensive anime streaming guide.
