On Thursday, the winners of the seventh Crunchyroll Anime Awards were announced. As previously mentioned, to fans' excitement, AOT won best drama, and Eren was honored with the title of Best Main Character. Apart from these two, the anime series received four other accolades.

This is not the first time AOT has received so many honors. Previously, the anime had already received several awards, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Music, Best Theme Song, Top Female Character, and Title of the Year, among others, at various ceremonies.

AOT was able to win six awards across all categories. These include:

  1. Best Opening Sequence- The Rumbling, SiM,
  2. Best Voice Artist Performance (Japanese)- Yuki Kaji, Eren Jaeger
  3. Best Drama- Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2
  4. Best Main Character- Eren Jaeger
  5. Best Score- Attack on Titan
  6. Best Anime Song- The Rumbling, SiM

Shonen anime dominated this year's awards ceremony. Spy x Family, AOT, and Demon Slayer won a total of 18 prizes, with each receiving six. Even Jujutsu Kaisen was able to take home four awards. However, Cyberpunk: Edgerunner's win proved to be a shocking turn of events, as it beat both AOT and Demon Slayer for the Anime of the Year award.
