For some reason, I always thought Ikeda Shigemi is a woman...and on ann they said "his" work... maybe dtshyk knows for sure? :)

The list of works is incomplete, btw, there's also Bartender and Yakitate!! Japan which are missing iirc.

Ikeda Shigemi is he. I guess I miss a lot more. F91, 08 Team, Unicorn.... too many.

"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

I was watching this on Tv when it happened, which was lucky because I don't usually watch all the awards shows... they drag on too long :/

Okay the other competitors must have sucked or they just don't know what a Japanese anime Art Director actually does.
