On this Episode we discuss the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025 which are just around the corner, and we’re not waiting for the results—we’re cmaking predictions now.

In this episode of Our Isekai, we break down a few categories and give our opinions on who we think will win. From Anime of the Year contenders like Frieren and Solo Leveling, to rising stars like Dan Da Dan and The Apothecary Diaries—we’re naming names, making predictions, and calling out early snubs before the ballots close.

We also dive into:

•Best Film & Best New Series – What actually moved us vs what just moved merch

•Best Isekai Debate – Is Re:Zero still the king, or are we ready to hand the throne to a slime?

•Main & Supporting Characters – Who carried? Who coasted? Who emotionally destroyed us?
