Gachiakuta leads the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2026 Best New Series market as the clear frontrunner, driven by its 16 total nominations—including strong showings in animation, action, and direction—plus recent Kodansha manga award recognition and widespread praise for its world-building and Studio Bones execution. Takopi’s Original Sin sits in second place after securing fan-voted wins like Anime Corner’s Anime of the Year and solid critical momentum for its emotional storytelling, though it trails with fewer overall nods. The remaining contenders, including SAKAMOTO DAYS, The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity, The Summer Hikaru Died, and Clevatess, reflect solid but narrower fan and precursor support. With the May 23 ceremony fast approaching, late voting surges or guild-adjacent signals could still shift the final tally in this closely watched new-series category.
