Summary of all the categories announced during the Anime Awards event

The annual Anime Awards event organized by Crunchyroll recently announced full information about 31 categories with many notable names.

“Crunchyroll” Anime Awards, one of the biggest Anime awards of the year, announced 31 categories in the 7th edition of this organization.

Accordingly, 70% of the points will come from a group of 57 judges, the remaining 30% will be voted directly by fans, until 8 am on January 25, 2023 (Vietnam time).

Anime appearing in at least one episode in the allotted time, with a producer in Japan, airing from November 2021 to September 2022 will be eligible to appear. Avoid the questions Bleach, Mob Psycho 100 III, Bocchi the Rock or Chainsaw Man, etc., because these works will appear in next year’s tournament.

Regarding the case of “Summer Time Rendering” getting clean from all nominations is also a big question mark.

The following are the most important categories in the awards ceremony:
