Year in review
editAnime News Network's summarized the biggest events of the year in the industry as Aniplex's business plan. Theron Martin proposed this change in model to alienate fans and predicted that it could cause backlash for the company. Carl Kimlinger highlighted the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[1] The destruction caused by the earthquake and following tsunami disrupted and damaged a large portion of Japan, making it the most costly natural disaster in history.[2][3] The Ishinomori Manga Museum was damaged and would re-open in late 2012, a year and a half after the disaster.[4] Home video sales of anime DVDs in Japan between December 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 were worth 19.6 billion yen, representing 18.8 percent of the DVD market; sales of Blu-ray discs in the same period were worth 17.1 billion yen, representing 57% of the Blu-ray disc market.[5]
Awards and praise
editThe Tokyo Anime Award for best movie was awarded to From Up on Poppy Hill; the award for best television series was given to Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Tiger & Bunny. The OVA award was given to Mobile Suit Gundam UC.[6] Puella Magi Madoka Magica has won numerous awards in 2011, including the Japan Media Arts Festival Grand Prize in the Animation Division, the second television program to win that award.[7]
At the Mainichi Film Awards, the Animation Film Award was won by Hotarubi no Mori e and the Ōfuji Noburō Award by 663114. From Up on Poppy Hill won the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year.
