As each year goes by, fans know Crunchyroll sets aside time to honor its best anime series without fail. The voting for the top titles of 2021 ended a while back, and now, it seems like the results are in. All the data has been crunched, and we've got the winners for Crunchyroll's Anime Awards!

Obviously, fans were eager to learn which series won Anime of the Year, and it was Attack on Titan. The series put out the first half of season four last year, and fans were impressed to say lightly. Attack on Titan also took home a few more awards since Eren won Best Antagonist and Best VA Performance (JP).

When it came to Best Animation, the vote put Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba at the top with the show's take on the Mugen Train arc. The anime won several awards for voice acting and even Best Score courtesy of Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina.
