Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2022 winners (Attack on Titan crowned Anime of the Year!)

Last month, Crunchyroll announced its nominees for 2022’s Anime Awards and that list was full of amazing titles we all certainly know and love dearly.

Attack on Titan season 4 part 1, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc, ODDTaxi, and Ranking of Kings are just a few of the many anime that made this year’s cut, but also included on the list are some other great popular series that fans showed up in large numbers to vote for, making the competition more fierce than ever before.

Even still, there can only be one anime that stands above the rest, and today, Crunchyroll has crowned its winners.

With releasing a jaw-dropping final season like that, it definitely doesn’t come as a surprise that Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 1 has taken home Crunchyroll’s esteemed Anime of the Year!

The final season had everything we could ever ask for, hence why Attack on Titan also took home the awards for Best Antagonist (Eren Jaeger), Best Opening Sequence (“Boku no Sensou” by Shinsei Kamattechan), and Best Japanese VA Performance (Yuji Kaji as Eren Jaeger).

Attack on Titan did manage to show up a few times, however, another anime managed to surpass the anime in its number of awards and you definitely didn’t see this one coming! Which anime is it? Find out as you check out all the winners of Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2022, below.
