Every “Loss” At Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024:
Best Continuing Anime Series
While “Attack on Titan” may not have clinched the Best Continuing Anime Series award, the recognition of its enduring impact is undeniable. The perennial juggernaut “One Piece” secured the honor for the second consecutive time, highlighting its sustained popularity spanning nearly 24 years. The category featured formidable contenders such as “Demon Slayer,” “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Spy x Family,” and “Vinland Saga.”
Best Animation for an Anime Series
Despite the meticulous animation efforts in “Attack on Titan Final Season,” the Best Animation award eluded the series, with “Demon Slayer” claiming victory for the third consecutive time. The short length of the final chapters, aimed at ensuring aesthetic perfection, was unable to surpass the animation standards set by “Demon Slayer.” The category also recognized outstanding work by studios like MAPPA, Studio Bones, and Studio Orange.
Best Director for an Anime Series
Yuichiro Hayashi’s directorial prowess in bringing the “Attack on Titan Final Season” to life was commendable but fell short of securing the Best Director award. Shouta Goshozono’s direction in “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” earned him the coveted title, with other nominations including directors from “Oshi no Ko,” “Heavenly Delusion,” “Chainsaw Man,” and “Bocchi the Rock!”
Best Cinematography for an Anime Series
Shigeki Asakawa’s work on “Attack on Titan Final Season” garnered a nomination for Best Cinematography, yet Teppei Ito’s contributions to “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” claimed the award. The recognition of cinematography in anime marks a significant evolution, reflecting the industry’s commitment to visual excellence.
Best Action Anime Series
The grand finale of “Attack on Titan” brought an epic clash between Eren and his friends, showcasing spectacular animation. Despite the grandeur, “Demon Slayer” emerged victorious in the Best Action Anime Series category, lauded for its exceptional animation standards. The category featured stiff competition from renowned series like “One Piece,” “Chainsaw Man,” “Demon Slayer,” and “Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War — The Separation.”
Best Main Character in an Anime Series
Eren Yeager, nominated for the third consecutive time, faced tough competition in the Best Main Character category. The honor was ultimately claimed by Monkey D. Luffy from “One Piece,” with strong contenders including characters from “Chainsaw Man,” “Mob Psycho 100 III,” “Vinland Saga,” and “Bocchi the Rock!”
Best Supporting Character in an Anime Series
The emotional farewell to characters like Hange Zoe in “Attack on Titan Final Season” did not translate to victory in the Best Supporting Character category. Gojo Satoru from “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” took home the award, alongside nominations for characters from “Mob Psycho 100 III,” “Oshi no Ko,” “Chainsaw Man,” and “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2.”
Best Voice Acting Performance for an Anime Series (Japanese)
Yuki Kaji, nominated for the third time as the voice of Eren Yeager, couldn’t secure the Best Voice Acting Performance award. Yuichi Nakamura’s exceptional portrayal of Gojo Satoru in “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” earned him the honor, with fellow nominees including voices from “Spy × Family,” “Chainsaw Man,” “One Piece,” and “Bocchi the Rock!”
