Trader consensus on Polymarket shows a nail-biter in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2026 Best Comedy Anime category, with DAN DA DAN Season 2 (45.5%) barely ahead of CITY THE ANIMATION (44.5%), reflecting intense fan voting fervor after nominations dropped April 2 and polls closed April 14. DAN DA DAN's slight edge stems from its dominant 20 total nominations—including Anime of the Year—and explosive blend of supernatural action and humor that carried over momentum from prior awards success, energizing global audiences. CITY THE ANIMATION nips at its heels thanks to Kyoto Animation's masterful adaptation of Keiichi Arawi's absurd slice-of-life manga, boasting top-tier animation drawing critical raves. My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 (43.5%) leverages rom-com charm and cosplay buzz, while Ranma 1/2 Season 2 (42.1%) taps remake nostalgia; SPY x FAMILY Season 3 (38.0%) and WITCH WATCH (33.0%) trail amid split loyalties. With the May 23 Tokyo ceremony looming, late voter surges or guild-like fan blocs could spark an upset in this crowd-driven race.
