“I love anime; it’s an art form that has always inspired me. For the creators, it’s unbound creativity and freedom of expression, where they can make truly iconic, creative worlds and characters,” said Robert Rodriguez, award-winning writer and director of such iconic films as Sin City and, most recently, an episode of The Mandalorian. “Anime is a crucible for new ideas and fresh perspectives in entertainment. So I’m very excited to help celebrate the grand winners being honored at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan.”

The full list of presenters for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards includes:

Aidan Hutchinson is an American football defensive end for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League.

Finn Wolfhard, actor, musician, and director (Stranger Things, Pinocchio, Ghostbusters, IT)

Hunter Schafer, actress, and artist (Euphoria and the upcoming The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes)

Jacob Bertrand, actor (Cobra Kai)

Juju Smith-Schuster, American football wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League

Robert Rodriguez, film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor, and musician (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Alita: Battle Angel)

Valkyrae, one of the biggest female streamers in the world (13M followers) and the co-owner of 100 Thieves

Additional global talent and musical performances will be announced soon.

“I have been a huge anime fan since I was a kid. It has been a part of my whole life, till this day, it has helped me so much. I’m an NFL athlete, and I get to represent this anime world. So for me to present an Anime Award to some of the greatest shows in the world, it’s the best,” said Juju Smith-Schuster, NFL wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off a Super Bowl win.
