Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025 Winners: Complete list from Best Animation to Anime of the Year

Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025 is one of the most important events of the animanga community, and we look forward to the show each year with bated breath. While the Anime of the Year award is undoubtedly the most talked about of the bunch, other categories like Best Animation, Best Anime Song, and Best Main Character are also incredibly prestigious and generate a lot of chatter.

The most popular nominees this year were Solo Leveling and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, both of which were nominated for Anime of the Year 2025. Demon Slayer, One Piece, and Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War were also some of the fan favorites at the show.
