Saturday, March 2, 2024 saw the winners for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024 officially announced, bringing with it some shocking and unexpected victories. While the expected series of Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and more all took home victory in some form, there were also some unexpected results.

Series with some of the highest nomination counts include Chainsaw Man with 25, Attack on Titan with 10, and Jujutsu Kaisen with total nominations. However, none of these three series took home total victories amounting anywhere close to their respective nomination counts.
