posted on 2007-02-21 01:49 AEDTFilm follows up a string of awards by winning Japan's highest honor
The 30th Annual Japan Academy Awards, held February 16th at the Takanawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, have awarded the "Animation of the Year" award to Toki wo Kakeru Shojo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time). It is by far the biggest award yet for Hosoda Mamoru's film, which has already trounced its competition in Awards ceremonies throughout the entertainment world.
The other films nominated for the "Animation of the Year" award are as follows:
Arashi no Yoru ni (On A Stormy Night) - Director: Sugii Gisaburô
Gedo Senki (Tales of Earthsea) - Director: Miyazaki Goro
Brave Story - Director: Chigira Koichi
Meitantei Conan: Tanteitachi no Chinkonka (Detective Conan/Case Closed: Requiem for the Detectives) Director: Yamamoto Taiichiro
Although TokiKake only took in about 300 million yen (about 3 million US Dollars), reviews and press about the film has been overwhelmingly positive and could lead to brisk sales for a DVD release.

This second set certainly lacks the same amount of punch as the first did, however that does not stop it being quite an enjoyable collection that is perfect for those who somehow overlooked these titles their first time around or are new to the anime scene.
