One Piece holds a commanding lead in the Best Continuing Series market thanks to its unmatched longevity, dedicated global fanbase, and strong recent performance in the Elbaph arc that continues to drive streaming metrics and cultural conversation. My Hero Academia Final Season sits second on finale momentum and guild-level recognition from its action sequences, while Dan Da Dan Season 2 and Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 trail on solid critical buzz and social engagement but lack the same sustained voter history. With the Crunchyroll Anime Awards ceremony set for May 23, late fan voting patterns and any final preview coverage could still influence the outcome in this closely watched category.
