By the time Season 8 concluded on 13 December 2025, the show had become one of the defining anime of its generation.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2026, at the 10th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, the final season took home Anime of the Year \u2014 a fitting send-off, and a testament to how deeply the show resonated with audiences globally, Singapore included.
