It’s awards season! That time of year where we celebrate all of the hard work that goes into making some of our favorite music, television, and movies. Anime is no different in this regard, and for the 6th consecutive year, Crunchyroll will be celebrating the best in the Japanese anime industry with their Anime Awards. 

With voting going from now until January 25th at 5:00 pm PST, anime fans are able to select their favorite many categories representing nearly 40 animation studios across 8 different streaming platforms. Also new to 2022, voice actors are being recognized like never before with favorites for not only the original Japanese audio but also for series dubbed in English, German, Portuguese, Spanish (both Spain & Latin America), and Russian.

Fans can vote here daily until January 25th, and the winners will be revealed on Wednesday, February 9 across the Anime Awards website and across Crunchyroll social channels.
