Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll said this about the ceremony:
“For the past decade, the Crunchyroll Anime Awards has been shaped by the fans who show up every year to celebrate the stories and creators they love. What began with a few million votes in 2017 has grown into tens of millions of voices from around the world, reflecting how deeply anime has become part of people’s lives. Returning to Japan is about celebrating where these stories begin and the fans everywhere who make them live far beyond the screen.”
The Crunchyroll Anime Awards will air live on Saturday, May 23 at 11 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST over on YouTube. The ceremony will be co-hosted by entertainer Jon Kabira and voice actress Sally Amaki. More information about the Crunchyroll Anime Awards can be found here.
