'Akira' Director Katsuhiro Otomo and Hatsune Miku's 'Father' Hirayuki Itou to be Awarded Medals of Honor
| Miku was the beginning of vocaloid as a whole, that 'father' completely deserves that award. Especially for the contributions for the music industry. Vocaloid remains strong! :3 |
 |
| Haven't watched Akira due to the awfully detailed, gory content, but it probably deserves the prize as it did awake recognizion of anime to some of the older inhabitants here in the west. Miku deserves it 100% though. |
| Muscle Muscle! Hustle Hustle! Muscle Muscle! Hustle Hustle! Muscle Muscle! Hustle Hustle! Muscle Muscle! Hustle Hustle! Muscle Muscle! Hustle Hustle! Muscle Muscle! Hustle Hustle! Muscle Muscle!

| This is a good news, I think both award are well deserved. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| I very happy Katsuhiro Otomo gets this award. Akira is a timeless classic, the movie and especially the manga. |
Xinception said: They get it for surviving the onslaught of haters.Gratz to them,but I think that the title of the award is kinda... misleading. Usually, when I hear Medal of Honor, I'd reckon that it is given to those who give their life in combat... like sacrifice their life in combat. If I go by that logic, these dudes would be dead? Hirayuki Itou > Katsuhiro Otomo |

| Well deserved! Congrats to both of em! IntroverTurtle said: I think Oda should get this next or go ahead and make him a living national treasure. |
| So many Vocaloid haters here lol I suspect many of the people here who claim to dislike Vocaloid songs have only heard the stereotypical "annoying" sounding ones. Vocaloid isn't a genre, it's a medium in which to create music. Ironically, that's the exact same misconception people tend to have about anime. Anyways, both awards are well-deserved, so congrats to the recipients. |
| congratulations. you two really deserve it |

Mogami-kun said: You may find Akira vastly overrated, but nobody can deny the vast influence it had, both domestically and overseas, and this is what can't be overrated.I always found Akira to be vastly overrated, but it's nice to see Hiroyuki Itou getting an award. Congratulations to both of them. Anyway, the count of "ribbons" awarded this year: Red Ribbon: 2 (saving life) Green Ribbon: 30 (volunteerism) Yellow Ribbon: 262 (dedication to cause) Purple Ribbon: 16 (contribution from the fields of arts, culture, sports or academic studies) Blue Ribbon: 485 (achievements in work of public interest) |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Grats to both of them, but I think Katsuhiro definitely deserved it more, considering how long hes been making manga and anime. I highly suggest checking out the Akira manga, it's much more well-rounded and gives the characters move development as well as his other manga (I just started Legend of Mother Sarah recently, great stuff). |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Gratz, Miku no otou-samaaaaaaaaaa!! :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| Congratulations to both! I certainly don't hate their achievements. |

| Congrats |
| Glad to see Hiroyuki Itou getting award. |
