Every year, Crunchyroll holds an event to pay homage to the anime industry in The Anime Awards. Taking place in Japan, the recent ceremony was fit to bursting with celebrities, voice actors, musicians, and other members of the anime industry. With dozens of categories to honor anime franchises and those who made the series possible, we have a list for you to peruse when it comes to who took home the gold at the 2024 Anime Awards. 

One of the biggest celebrities at the event, which aired at 4AM Eastern Time in North America, was musician Megan Thee Stallion. Never shy about sharing her love of the anime world, the rapper wore not one, but two anime cosplays to celebrate the Anime Awards. Megan hit Japan honoring Jujutsu Kaisen by taking on the role of Satoru Gojo, and during the event, presented an award while wearing an outfit from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. Joining the musician from the world of Hollywood included Ms. Marvel's Iman Vellani and Ghostbusters' Finn Wolfhard, once again emphasizing how anime's popularity is touching all parts of the world.
