| except for Shin-chan I have heard of none of these. |
| Giovanni no Shima getting yet another award, can't say I'm suprised, not a good thing though. Glad to see Naoko Yamada getting an award though. |
 |
| Hopefully this means more movies or anime :) New Face Awards: Tamako love story by Naoko Yamada (Japan) |
 |
dity said: Grand Prize: K-ON! (Japan} yay lol K-on wasn't even mentioned haha... Congratulations Tamako love story by Naoko Yamada (Japan) |
 |
| Never heard of this movie before Tamako Love Story i guess i will add it to my Plan to watch list. |
 |
| Atashi. Tamako ♥ Story. Daisuki. Douzo. :) |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| > Excellence Awards: Giovanni no Shima by Mizuho Nishikubo (Japan) Interesting. Now more reason for me to give this film a shot. |
 |
| Well deserved Naoko Yamada! |
 |
| Salute to the France guys who managed to cop a win. |

Ramkec said: Salute to the France guys who managed to cop a win. Yeah! Japan did a sweep for manga though. And that's pretty expected. They have probably the biggest industry with international influence. Nice to see more variety of countries in the animation section... saying that, how the heck did Ping Pong NOT get an award? (It's in the jury selection list...!) I like the variety and obscurity (at least to foreigners, maybe), but I will question a few choices. :O Well, congratulations anyways! EDIT: Giovanni no Shima is a great watch. It's a post-WWII sentimental film, so it's a tearjerker, but also very heartwarming. After watching it, I'm glad it got an award. ^^ |

| Alright, it's time to watch Tamako. |
| Was always interested in Giovanni no Shima even before it came out. Didn't realize subs are already out...will watch if I can get my hw done soon lol (which probably won't happen). Tamako Love Story. I've watched half of the movie in the last two week but haven't had much motivation to finish it. Mochizou is cute and the visuals are beautiful as usual, but that's about it so far. At least it's not completely aimless like the series. |
| Congrats to Tamako Love Story! And the other winnders ofc. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Tamako LS is on the list, nice! |
| Can't say I know a lot of works on here |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| Can't say I'm terribly surprised that the only work most people have heard of here is the Kyoani movie. Also nice of Japan to start to recognizing more animation than just its own and France's, and overall respectable enough picks. |

| Wow I haven't heard of any of these except for Tamako Love Story by Naoko Yamada which definitely deserves the recognition. |
| I'm thinking of trying Tamako Love Story, but if I haven't watch Tamako Market, will it reduce my enjoyment cos misinformation? Should I watch Tamako Market first, or seeing Tamako Love Story directly is fine? Cos I heard Love Story is a sequel from Market... |
HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk. |

If you don't, just watch the movie. |
