Crunchyroll has actually introduced the victors of the 2023 Anime Awards, which recognize the anime’s best shows, voice actors, animators, and creators of the past year. Taking house the leading reward: Netflix’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Spearheaded by Hiroyuki Imaishi, of Gurren Lagann as well as Promare, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners burst out last autumn as one of Netflix’s most outstanding originals. Zach Aguilar likewise won Best Voice Acting Performance for his job as David on the program.

In Polygon’s review of the season 1 of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, we composed that the collection was “easily the most exciting thing to come out of the game’s redemption arc. Even if it’s hard not to wish that Imaishi and co. had a little more room to expand their take on this world, Edgerunners feels exciting and new enough as it pushes the boundaries of its exciting and hugely inventive visual representation of in-game concepts.”

Surprisingly, Edgerunners did not take both Anime of the Year as well as the program’s Best New Anime honor. The last mosted likely to Spy x Family, a noticeable fave that bested Call of the Night, Lycoris Recoil, My Dress-Up Darling, Ya Boy Kongming!. Last year’s Best Anime Winner, Attack on Titan, lost on the significant honors with Part 2, yet snuck right into a number of smaller sized classifications, consisting of Best Drama.
