Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024 winners – rolling list

The Crunchyroll Anime Awards take place at the Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa in Tokyo, Japan, today (March 2) – and you keep track of who wins what right here with NME.

The ceremony is being hosted by an array of international stars, including rapper Megan Thee Stallion, Ms. Marvel actress Iman Vellani, British artist Che Lingo and producer and DJ Yaeji.

“Watching anime is one of my favorite things to do!” said Megan Thee Stallion in a press release. “I love cosplaying all of my favourite characters, I love the storytelling, and I love getting inspiration from the different anime art styles! I’m really excited for the opportunity to attend and present an award at this year’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards. I’m looking forward to traveling to Tokyo and joining my fellow anime lovers as we celebrate and honour the best anime creators and shows in the world.”

The nominations were announced in January, with Chainsaw Man (a new series which follows the adventures of Denji, who has chainsaws instead of a head and arms) picking up the most nods with 25, while Jujustu Kaisen had 17, and Oshi no Ko and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba were tied in third place with 12 nominations each.
