| Frozen is my favorite anime Also my boy Sawano Hiroyuki gettin' money |
 |
| Mushishi was completely snubbed but Ping Pong won so all is well. and I think Frozen is just a popularity award since it did incredibly well in Japan. Naruleach said: Yet MAL users and people I know personally have told me that Ping Pong's animation sucks... lol. oh i'm sure they're experts on animation |
| Ping Pong deserves it. Frozen doesn't. |
 |
| Glad Ping Pong got love <3 Frozen is kinda expected, considering how big of a hit it is in Japan lol. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
Naruleach said: Yet MAL users and people I know personally have told me that Ping Pong's animation sucks... lol. Sure, the animation is not the best, but when the awards says "animation of the year", animation refers to an animated work, so Ping Pong didn't win just on its animation. ex_necross said: Naruleach said: Yet MAL users and people I know personally have told me that Ping Pong's animation sucks... lol. Congrats to Kouki Uchiyama! I fell in love with his voice back in 2008 when he voiced Soul from Soul Eater, and I've been a fan ever since. It does suck. It's a hipster show. Err, sorry, the proper term is "Artsy". Another word for trash. lol, what a bad comment.... just accept that people have different tastes than you, it's totally alright that you hate the show. |

I liked its particular CD 'cause it brought intensity to the action scenes as well as the dramatic ones. |

 |
| Hell yeah Sawano good stuff |
| Those who voted for Frozen need to commit sudoku. Shamefur dispray. Anyway congrats to Ping Pong, well deserved. |
Chitai said: Ping Pong The Animation for best animation? Eh, alrightie then. Exactly, what I was thinking. |
| why FROZEN?!!!! щ(゜ロ゜щ) |

| Congrats Ping Pong for winnoing the prize. Oh look, theres takahata too :D AoiMizu said: why FROZEN?!!!! щ(゜ロ゜щ) |

| Can someone please explain to me the popularity of Youkai Watch? Like I'm not hating on it or anything, I just don't get why it's so acclaimed in Japan, well above other children's anime. Also, Frozen isn't that bad. Just because you're not the target demographic (white, American, young female) for something doesn't mean it's objectively bad. |

And the game was made by the same people who did professor layton and Izuma eleven, so it was a guaranteed hit from the start. |

| Glad to see pingpong won |
 |
| Great to see Ping Pong receiving the recognition it deserves. |
| Woah. Ping pong The animation won? Congrats~ That anime really deserves that Award. Frozen?! Kyakkkk Are you serious???? |
 |
| I haven't even watch this frozen series. But people need to seriously chill. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. The positive I see that comes from this is that Japan is nice enough to recognize western films as well. Plus I heard this series is selling great in Japan. I really don't see what's all the fuss is about. |
| Could all the knee-jerk Frozen hater commenters please point out what animated movie from 2014 was better than Frozen? Because looking at MAL list of movies from 2014, all of them are either sequels, niche or bad/ average. |
 |
| Ping Pong indeed deserved that gallant honour. |

| Glad to see Ping Pong the Animation winning an award. |
Stark700 said: Haven't seen Frozen before (not sure if I want to) but I'm glad to see Ping Pong the Animation getting Animation of the Year award. Hyped for Lupin III for Spring now after seeing Monkey Punch listed on the Honorary section. Basically all of this, thank you. Except that I was already beyond hyped for Lupin III: Part IV. |

Because looking at MAL list of movies from 2014, all of them are either sequels, niche or bad/ average. Not that I've watched it yet, but maybe the runner-up Stand By Me Doraemon? It did really well, though of course not as well as Frozen did in Japan. It also received a few awards in Japan already (assuming the information is reliable). Or maybe Giovanni's Island, which I haven't seen yet either. Supposedly it's pretty good? But yeah, I bet most people here (like me) who commented on Frozen haven't watched a 2014 anime movie either :P Or maybe they have and just didn't say which movie they think should've won instead. |

| Frozen? Well, that's weiiiiird. And maybe I should already yield and watch the Ping Pong now. It doesn't sound interesting to me at all, but the positive feedback is going out of the roof. |
 |
| That Ping Pong |
vodall said: Actually, in terms of substantial technical value, Ping Pong's sakuga is outstanding; MAL users just don't know the difference between artstyle and animation (this is also why people claim Fate has good 'animation' despite UBW only having a handful of good cuts). So even if the award was given based upon technical value alone, it would most likely go to Ping Pong or Space Dandy. Exactly; the cuts, the flow, the panelling, the overall direction of Ping Pong were really good. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

You still fail to provide even a singular example of a better animated movie from 2014, so instead of spouting irrelevant dribble, try to improve your argument and provide an example. |

| 1)Best Music: Hiroyuki Sawano (Shingeki no Kyojin) This is fcking win. So glad he won!!! 2)Also gratz for Ping Pong. I still need to finish this series (I do not it much, to be honest...) 3)Best Character Design & Mechanical Design: Takahiro Kishida (Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica) I completely agree with this one also. =) |
| Well people in Japan are crazy over Frozen so it's not really that unexpected.There were times when pixiv ranking was full of Frozen pictures and it sells there like crazy too. Gotta watch that Ping Pong sometime. Best Voice Actor: Daisuke Ono (Durarara!!), Kouki Uchiyama (Nisekoi) Very good.All 3 of them deserve these awards.Best Music: Hiroyuki Sawano (Shingeki no Kyojin) |

| Ping Pong deserved it. Glad it was given justice. |

Giovanni no Shima has been criticized as a naive politically motivated sympathy grabbing movie. Haven't seen it myself but the rating doesn't imply greatness. The others I haven't even heard about. Dreamworks' only mention-worthy release in 2014 was HTTYD 2, which isn't better than Frozen. Not in revenue, and not in critical acclaim. |

| Are you saying a movie has to be 'great' to better than Frozen? Really? Using MAL's rating system, 'fine' is about what Frozen deserves. Red_Tuesday said: Princess Kaguya is from 2013. It was just released in Europe and NA in 2014. Frozen is also from 2013, so they're even lol The others I haven't even heard about. Probably the people giving Tokyo awards haven't either, so I'll forgive you. Dreamworks' only mention-worthy release in 2014 was HTTYD 2, which isn't better than Frozen. Not in revenue, and not in critical acclaim. If it's a matter of popularity, sure, Frozen wins. Quality-wise (what actually should matter for the award, HTTYD 2 or BH6 (whichever you like) win easily. |
