Trader consensus positions ZENSHU as the frontrunner at 39% implied probability for Crunchyroll's Best Original Anime, propelled by MAPPA's prestige animation, its meta-isekai premise celebrating anime creation, and dual nominations including Best Isekai that fueled intense fan campaigns during the April 3–16 voting window. Apocalypse Hotel follows closely at 29%, buoyed by its surprise-hit status, quirky post-apocalyptic humor, and strong critical reception (MAL 8.0+), while Moonrise's 23.4% reflects WIT Studio's stunning sci-fi visuals and Netflix exposure. Lower odds for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (14%), Lazarus (13.5%), and DIGIMON BEATBREAK (9.5%) stem from mixed Gundam reception, niche Adult Swim appeal, and franchise fatigue amid broader competition. With voting closed and the May 23 Tokyo ceremony approaching, late judge deliberations could spark upsets in this unpredictable category.
