The Crunchyroll Anime Awards results are in. Jujutsu Kaisen ultimately took Anime of the Year–likely to little surprise. It was a beloved show for most anime watchers in 2020.
Jujutsu Kaisen also won Best Antagonist (Ryomen Sukuna) and Best Ending Sequence (Lost In Paradise, ALI featuring AKLO). Beyond that, it was a pretty diverse assortment of winners across the board–other than Jujutsu Kaisen, no show won more than two awards. The anime that won two awards are Keep Your Hands Off Eizoken, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Re:Zero – Starting Life In Another World, and My Hero Academia.
