Jujutsu Kaisen Takes Anime of the Year at Crunchyroll Awards 2021
Another year has come and gone, and with that comes award shows across the entertainment world. Last year, The Game Awards gave us 2020's Game of the Year choice in The Last of Us Part II, with Ghost of Tsushima and Final Fantasy VII Remake also walking away as winners. Now, turning our gaze to the anime world, we have the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, celebrating the best anime released in 2020. Judging by the winners, MAPPA's shounen Jujutsu Kaisen walked away with Anime of the Year, and swept up Best Antagonist in the process too.

2020's Crunchyroll Awards saw Ufotable's Demon Slayer sweep up the big Anime of the Year award, and this year, Jujutsu Kaisen - the breakout shounen hit - has received similar acclaim. It also won Best Antagonist for Ryomen Sukuna. Meanwhile, Haikyuu!! To The Top, the fourth season of the popular volleyball shounen anime, also took home Best Boy for Hinata Shoyo. Kaguya-Sama: Love is War's second season swept with Best Comedy and Best Girl in the titular Kaguya (an absolute win). Check out the full list of winners in each category below:
- Anime of the Year – JUJUTSU KAISEN
- Best Animation – Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
- Best Fantasy – Re:ZERO -Starting Life In Another World- (Season 2)
- Best Drama – Fruits Basket (Season 2)
- Best Comedy – Kaguya-sama: Love Is War?
- Best Girl – Kaguya Shinomiya, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War?
- Best Boy – Shoyo Hinata, HAIKYU!! TO THE TOP
- Best Protagonist – Catarina Claes, My Next Life As A Villainess: All Routes Lead To Doom!
- Best Antagonist – Ryomen Sukuna, JUJUTSU KAISEN
- Best Fight Scene – Deku Vs. Overhaul, My Hero Academia Season 4
- Best Score – Kevin Penkin, Tower Of God
- Best Director – Masaaki Yuasa, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
- Best Character Design – Mayuka Ito, Original Designs By Aidairo, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun
- Best Couple – Nasa Yuzaki & Tsukasa Yuzaki, TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You
- Best VA Performance (JP) – Yusuke Kobayashi As Natsuki Subaru, Re:ZERO -Starting Life In Another World- (Season 2)
- Best VA Performance (EN) – Zeno Robinson As Hawks, My Hero Academia Season 4
- Best Opening Sequence (OP) – Wild Side (ALI), BEASTARS
- Best Ending Sequence (ED) – LOST IN PARADISE (ALI feat. AKLO), JUJUTSU KAISEN
Yet again, it's not surprising to see My Hero Academia picking up a couple of awards given it's popularity, though it's notable that season 4 didn't resonate well with many fans which led to other shows in the year taking the spotlight. It's great to see Re:Zero's second season also getting some attention too. This year will see massive releases in anime, so Crunchyroll will have a lot to contend with in their next annual awards show.
