Crunchyroll has announced the winners of the 2024 Anime Awards, the annual awards ceremony hosted in Japan to honor and celebrate the best shows, voice actors, animators, musicians, and creators of the past year. On Saturday, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 took home this year’s top prize for anime of the year.
The second season of the popular supernatural action anime saw director Shota Goshozono assume the reins over the series from Sunghoo Park, who departed from the series following the completion of the show’s first season. Produced by studio MAPPA, the anime follows the story of Yuji Itadori, a young man with keen supernatural abilities who accidentally becomes the vessel of a malevolent cursed spirit known as Sukuna. Though initially sentenced to death, Yuji is spared and taken under the wing of Satoru Gojo, a powerful Jujutsu sorcerer, who trains him to aid in the never-ending war between humans and curses.
Jujutsu Kaisen left a huge impression on discerning anime fans when it first premiered back in 2020, going on to earn a place on our list of the best anime of that year. The series’ second season proved to be just as impressive, if not more so, claiming the coveted top spot on our list of the best anime of 2023.
Despite amassing a total of 25 nominations, Chainsaw Man only took home two awards this year, with Jujutsu Kaisen claiming the lion’s share of the awards with a total of 9 wins. Suzume won best anime film, a win that is all the more notable for the fact that it was not nominated for best animated feature at this year’s Academy Awards. One Piece took home the award for Best Continuing Series and Best Character for series’ protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, no doubt owed in part to the explosive unveiling of Luffy’s “Gear 5” transformation in the climax of the anime’s 20th season.

Whether you're a long-time fan of Macross or new to the name, you are about to be in luck.

A Figma of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Link is now available for pre-order. Link has been featured in the Japanese line of action figures in the past, with a Figma of him from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword being released in 2022.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, quietly one of the best action/farming sims of the past few years, is being made into a lovely new anime series, and it's out later this year.
A series constant, Final Fantasy's Moogle is a familiar sight to many, and along with the Chocobo, serves as a mascot of sorts for the franchise. But the busted-looking Moogle we got in the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been rejected by a particular segment of the community, who are convinced the gritty redesign looks more like Matthew McConaughey playing a drug mule named Miguel than a fantastical portmanteau of mole and bat.
We all love spotting references in games, especially if you manage to find something a bit niche, but when it comes to obscurity, it'd be hard to top this clever nod to a mysterious Final Fantasy 7 fight in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

While there was already more than enough anticipation in the room, the director of Parasite made an announcement of his own—active development on a Japanese anime feature film project.
