The streaming platform Crunchyroll has announced the nominees for the Anime Awards anime productions released during the current year. However, the nominees for " Anime of the Year ," considered the most important category, have already been announced by the platform.
Chainsaw Man – Anime was NOT nominated for an Anime Awards
Check it out:
Among the nominees for Best Anime of the Year:
- Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season – Part 2 ( Attack on Titan );
- Cyberpunk: Edgerunners;
- Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen ( Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc );
- Lycoris Recoil;
- Ousama Ranking Part 2 ( Ranking of Kings );
- Spy vs. Family.

Therefore, the news published on Crunchyroll 's Twitter caught otaku fans by surprise. In other words, fans questioned the absence of the anime Chainsaw Man , Bleach, and the beloved Bocchi the Rock!, which were all shown during the Fall 2022 season .
Check out the fans' outrage:
- Where is Mob Psycho 100? Where is Bleach? Where is Summertime Rendering? Where is Made in Abyss? Where is Kaguya-sama?
- Seriously? Rankings for Attack on Titan and Unknown Star Wars? I like both, but please. The Unknown Star Wars ranking is from 2021, and for Attack on Titan they listed the second part of an unfinished series. Where's Bochi the Rock!? Chainsaw Man isn't here?
- And where the heck is Summertime Rendering?
- Crunchyroll doing "the Crunchyroll thing" every year. What a pathetic selection;
- I went to the website and the rest of the recommendations are equally bad haha
Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where demons are born from human fears. Although they are generally dangerous and malevolent, humans can make contracts with demons to use a portion of their power. Denji is a depressed young man trying to pay off his deceased father's debt to the yakuza by selling several of his organs and working as a demon hunter.
Finally, Fujimoto launched the manga Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in December 2018.
