The nominees for the tenth annual ceremony were announced in April.

2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards

The Crunchyroll Anime Awards have been running since 2017, long enough that the tenth ceremony arriving in Tokyo feels like a milestone even if your last anime binge was a decade ago. The nominees span shonen finales, supernatural horrors, films that came and went in theaters, and a Neon Genesis Evangelion anniversary tribute that will mean everything or nothing depending on which way you came up.
