Is the biggest anime battle of them all… the battle for awards? We’ll find out this Friday during Crunchyroll’s Anime Awards.
Crunchyroll, the world’s most popular anime brand, will crown the best and brightest of Japanese animation during their fifth annual awards ceremony Friday, February 19.
The show will be hosted by Tim Lyu and special guest Crunchyroll-Hime (the platform’s very own anime princess), who will appear in 3D.
As for where to watch, you can really take your pick with this one. The ceremony will stream on the Crunchyroll homepage, plus their Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch pages. Or you can tune in to one of Crunchyroll’s special partner streams with different content creators. Check out the list of those below:
