Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress dominated the list of nominees, with a total of nine nominations including the Anime of the Year. Mob Psycho 100 followed the lead with eight nominations, including the Anime of the Year. Yuri on Ice won all of its seven nominations, including the inaugural Anime of the Year award, albeit amid controversy about the Crunchyroll users who complained that the awards won did not deserve especially accusing fans of the series for rigging the vote.[6]
