Fans of Anime and Japanese culture will be happy to know that all the nominees for the upcoming 2019 Crunchyroll Anime Awards have been announced. All the names have reveled for the ceremony that will take center stage in San Francisco and fans can vote for their favorite shows, characters, scores, etc. They cannot use PWR BET Bonus Code though, but nevermind. It is interesting enough without it, too.

This one will be hosted by the WWE sensation Xavier Woods, who is an Anime industry veteran, and George Wada of Wit Studio. Some individual presenters will include voice actor SungWon Cho, IGN’s Miranda Sanchez, and professional esports player SonicFox.
