Winners of the 14th Annual Animation Kobe Awards

And the winner is...


 
 
The winners of the 14th Animation Kobe Awards have been picked by this year’s judges, who are some of the most prestigious people in the animation industry. The winners are as follows...

Individual Award: Kunio Kato (director of La Maison en Petits Cubes)

Special Award: Shun-ichi Yukimuro (writer for Ashita no Joe, Candy Candy, Dog of Flanders, Dr. Slump, Dragon Ball, Gegege no Kitarō, Getter Robo, Kimba the White Lion)

Theatrical Film Award: Wall-E

Television Award: Eden of the East

Network Award: Haurhi-chan and Nyoron Churuya-san

Theme Song Award: “Don’t say ‘lazy’” (K-On!’s Ending theme) 

The event will be held on the 18th of October in Kobe Japan (the home of the beef). ANN also tells us that the reason why Wall-E won is because there was no Japanese contender that was as “completely packed with the sheer enjoyment of cinema” as Wall-E. Congratulations all the winners, and if you haven’t watched Eden of the East, watch it now!
