The 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards are here… BUT instead of celebrating anime, the community immediately started fighting. My Hero Academia winning Anime of the Year has the internet divided, Demon Slayer continues its unstoppable domination, BUT fans are saying shows like Takopi’s Original Sin got completely robbed. So now the anime community is asking the same question they ask every year: Are these awards actually about quality… or are they just popularity contests? In this episode of More Than A Cartoon, we break down every major winner, the fan backlash, the “robbed” discourse, why people don’t trust Crunchyroll anymore, and whether anime awards even matter at all.
