Reddit Anime Awards Crown Chihayafuru 3, Re:Zero Season 2 as Anime of the Year

Jury voted for Chihayafuru, while Re:Zero took the public vote

While Crunchyroll announced the results of its annual Anime Awards, the /r/anime community also held its annual Anime Awards livestream over the weekend. The subreddit's award ceremony featured both a jury panel and a popular vote across various genres and categories. This year, the jury winner for overall best anime was Chihayafuru 3, while Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2 took the public vote.

Reddit's Anime Awards includes a panel of jury members for each award who are asked to view all of the nominees before casting their vote. The awards are broken down into four major categories, the "Main" awards, the "Genre" awards, the "Production" awards, and the "Character" awards. Each individual award includes a winner from the Jury selection and the public vote.
