CRUNCHYROLL ANIME AWARDS

A Celebration of the Anime Universe

The Crunchyroll Anime Awards recognizes achievements for artistic and technical merits in the anime industry. The creative goal for 2021 was to reinvent the Anime Awards brand to be more reflective of the Crunchyroll fandom - less formal, more vibrant. Taking inspiration from parallels such as celebration & fireworks, and the real & the anime universes, a colorful and dynamic visual direction was formed. Crunchyroll brings all of the anime universes together under one love for anime. Just as each individual anime universe has its own significant impact on the fandom, when they collide, they create spectacular fireworks.
