A look back at the Annie Awards
This is not the first year in which no anime has won something at the Annie Awards. Neither in 2020, 2021 or 2022 took anime title home. In 2019, however, Mamoru Hosoda's film was film Mirai won the award for the best animated function – independent. Significantly Hayao Miyazaki's film The boy and the Heron won the best storyboarding in 2023. In addition, The boy and the HeronTakeshi Honda, animation director, won the award for the best character animation. Joe Hisaishi, the composer of Studio Ghibli, also won the Winsor McCay Award to recognize everything he contributed to the world of animated film.
For anime fans it is disappointing to see that no anime title takes home an award despite an impressive number of nominations. However, it shows the level of excellence that like western animations Arcane And The wild robot brought to the entertainment industry this year. Without blockbuster anime films in 2024, anime was placed on a handicap for price circuit. There is even more award ceremony, but the likelihood that no title does not win Annie Award but wins something bigger is slim.
