Vinland Saga wins the Anime of the Year Award!
By a margin of 14 votes, the smallest winning margin ever in the history, the Vikings avenges their defeat against the Space Adventurers from the last summer. Vinland Saga wins the Anime of the Year Award at the 6th anime awards and two more additional awards for Best in Sceneries and Visuals and Action anime of the Year Award. In Summer 2019, Astra and Vinland Saga were the top two nominees, and Astra ended up being the victor.
It is the first time that a 2-cour anime series(with more than 12 or 13 episodes) has won the title of Anime of the Year. In the past, these awards have mostly won by the single cour and Slice of Life Romance anime series, and it seems like Vinland Saga has started the revolution to end their reign. Even though Astra has lost in the race of Best Anime of the Year Award, it was a pretty good series to look. It also took most of the f awards alongside Demon Slayer, The Promised Neverland, and Kaguya-sama: Love is War. All these three anime have filled their pockets with three awards each.

Another surprise was Senku from Dr.Stone winning the Best Man of the Year Award by defeating the Kamado Tanjiro of Demon Slayer. And Emma from The Promised Neverland stood up in the race of Best Girl of the Year by ranking the second place.
