Crunchyroll announces its Anime Awards nominees
The Crunchyroll Anime Awards are right around the corner, so now’s the time to make your voice heard and vote for your favorite titles. Crunchyroll just unveiled its 2026 nominees, including longtime favorites like “DAN DA DAN,” “My Hero Academia,” and “The Apothecary Diaries” as well as popular newcomers “Gachiakuta” and “The Summer Hikaru Died.”
Want to get your vote in before the April 15 deadline? Read on to find out how, and then tune back in on May 23 to watch the ceremony.
How to vote for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards
You have two options for voting in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards: Crunchyroll and MyAnimeList. You have to sign in with your Crunchyroll or MAL credentials, and you can vote once per day. You may not have access to all 32 categories depending on which language dubs you’ve watched with your account.
Personally, I found the categories easy to decide until I got to the character awards. You’re telling me I have to choose between Enjin, Shisui, and Turbo Granny for Best Supporting Character?! That’s just cruel.
Voting closes on April 15, so get your votes in now!
