What Is Anime of the Year?
“Anime of the Year” consists of three categories: feature film, TV series and individual. Among all commercial animation works released/broadcast in Japan every year, the awardees of “Grand Prize” and “Individual Award” are selected in voting by industry professionals. Additionally, the “Anime Fan Award” is awarded to the most popular work chosen by animation fans on online voting. All awarded films are screened during the festival.
