![]() ![]() I’d personally pick Kids on the Slope or Natsuyuki Rendezvous, but I know they’re not exactly popular anime. It honestly bored me a lot because of its’ long long long monologues accompanied by static images like the new Bleach currently has. It had ufotable’s godly production values. It had original source material from Gen Urobuchi back when he was relevant. Type-Moon has always been popular in the anime fandom, but Fate/Zero was one of the gateways to it becoming an international success. I did actually watch The Wings of Goodbye, but that was so long ago that I can’t even remember if Ranka Lee got a happy ending or not. Because anime films in general are kind of limited, none of the big names aside from Makoto Shinkai were active during this year, and the majority that gets released are franchise films like Macross Frontier. One thing you’ll see me say about a lot of the anime movies during these first few years is that there’s not a lot I can say about them. There’s only one way to experience Madoka, and thus I have no issue with it winning this award, although personally I would have picked Panty & Stocking or Tiger & Bunny.Ģ011 Movie: Macross Frontier The Wings of Goodbye Yeah Steins Gate is more popular, but you could argue that the game is the best way to experience that series. I do think a good chunk of the series hasn’t aged all that well, but for its’ time, it was definitely a phenomenon that made Gen Urobuchi a household name for a few years. It got the fandom raving mad with theories. ![]() It impressed and influenced a lot of big anime creators. If you were an anime fan in 2011, you’d know how fucking huge Madoka Magica was back then. My source is here, and I know Wikipedia is kind of a shitty source to use, but it’s literally the only concise one I can find for every year I’m looking at. Although I will say that I’m glad Tetsuro Araki won for his work on Attack on Titan, Shinbo won for Madoka Magica, and Haruo Sotozaki can apparently win three times just for Demon Slayer despite nobody knowing who he actually is. Don’t care about the character awards or best director or anything like that. Also, I’m just going to look at best TV show and movie. So if some of the anime look like they’re in the wrong year, that’s probably why. Always been a little curious about what the Japanese think about anime compared to the West so I figured I’d go through each award winner starting from 2011 (because apparently that’s when the awards started) and give my thoughts on them.įrom what I understand, the cutoff date for qualifying for an award seems to be pre-October just like how the Crunchyroll Awards are now, and you have to actually end within that period. For those who don’t know, Newtype is a monthly anime magazine that actually had a US division for a few years and every year around October, they have popularity awards for what their readers consider to be the best anime of the year. ![]() I haven’t really paid much attention to the Newtype Anime Awards as they were coming out, but apparently they were fun to report on for a while until 2020 when people just stopped paying attention to them. Are they better than the Western audience? Well they make said audience angry at least. ![]()
