The Crunchyroll Anime Award for Film of the Year is one of the two highest awards given at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards since its second edition in 2018. It is given for the best anime film from the previous year. Winners are determined through a combined voting process by judges and public voting.
Makoto Shinkai and CoMix Wave Films's Your Name first won the award in 2018, which also awarded Suzume for the second time in 2023, the first film director and animation studio to win twice. Toei Animation holds the record for the most nominationsâÂÂalso the most nominations without a winâÂÂfor films with four. Bones's My Hero Academia, together with Shinkai's Disaster trilogy, have the most nominations for a film franchise with two.
Mamoru Hosoda and Studio Chizu's Mirai is the first (and so far, only) film ever to rarely received nominations of Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and Crunchyroll Anime Award for Film of the Year at the same time. For his direction of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Sunghoo Park is the first non-Japanese to win the award in 2022.
In the latest edition in 2025, Kiyotaka Oshiyama and Studio Durian's Look Back won the award, the first independent film to do so.
