Netflix’s Delicious in Dungeon Officially Biggest Loser of 2025’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards

by

2025’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards saw no victory for enthusiasts of Delicious in Dungeon, as their favored contender failed to secure a win.

Concerning the 2025 Anime Awards, held on May 25, 2025, Sally Amaki and Jon Kabira presided over this glamorous event showcasing the finest anime productions from 2024. Some of the highlighted series included “Solo Leveling,” “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End,” as well as others. Regrettably, a highly acclaimed Netflix anime series, which had been nominated in 16 categories, was overlooked amidst the limelight.

Delicious in Dungeon Failed to Win an Anime Award in the 16 Categories It Was Nominated For

In this year’s Anime Awards hosted by Crunchyroll, “Delicious in Dungeon” – a comedic blend of dungeon exploration, Dungeons & Dragons, and culinary adventures – didn’t take home any prizes. Though it’s not uncommon for an anime to miss out on the top spot, the disappointment among fans is palpable, especially considering “Delicious in Dungeons” was a strong contender in two categories: Best New Series and Best Comedy Anime. However, “Solo Leveling” snatched the award for Best New Series (and Anime of the Year), while another title claimed the Best Comedy Anime prize.

2024’s Delicious in Dungeon didn’t shine as brightly as expected, winning only one award out of the 16 categories it was nominated for. The French voice actor Adrien Antoine did manage to secure the Best French Voice Artist Performance for his role as Kafka Hibino. Moreover, at this year’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards, Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World Season 3 emerged victorious, surpassing That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime in the Best Isekai Anime category.

Although “Delicious in Dungeon” didn’t win big at this year’s Anime Awards, it continues to be highly praised and cherished by fans. In 2024, we predict it will be among the top anime picks, as it offers a refreshing throwback feel amidst the crowded isekai market while also hopping on the ‘cozy’ anime trend.

In the heart of a treacherous dungeon, a young explorer named Laios and his comrades were ruthlessly assaulted by a dragon. The ordeal left them penniless, without supplies, and unfortunately cost one of their own. However, the group’s determination to rescue their fallen companion was unwavering. The challenge lay in their predicament: with no food or money, they faced certain starvation on the journey ahead! But then, Laios presented a daring solution: ‘Why not feast on the creatures we encounter?’ Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons were now potential meals for these intrepid dungeon-dwellers who had a taste for adventure as well as an appetite for survival!
