Crunchyroll has announced all the nominees for this year's Anime Awards. Voting for the awards are now open, so head on over to the Anime Awards website and submit your choices for each category. The full list of awards and their respective nominees are detailed below.

　　This year's nominees are actually fairly diverse--there's no one series or movie dominating the awards like these past two years. Many of the anime that people expected to receive nominations are here, like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Carole & Tuesday, Vinland Saga, and Mob Psycho 100 II. Rather surprisingly, Stars Align and Given were only nominated for one award each, Best Drama and Best Couple respectively. Though neither series found much of a following at first, but both gained passionate followings by the end of their respective seasons.
