I was wondering if there is an organization that hands out awards to anime in
different categories. Something like the Academy Awards for movies in the US.

Or if not, maybe just an organization that publishes evaluations of anime
based on various criteria that can be used for comparison.

Is there something like the Academy Awards for anime?


There are two I could find:

> [Tokyo Anime Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Anime_Award): The
> Tokyo Anime Award started from 2002, but was named in 2005. The first,
> second and third awards were only named simply
> 'Competition'.[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Anime_Award) The award
> ceremony was held at the Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) until 2013. In
> 2014, after the merger of Tokyo International Anime Fair with Anime Contents
> Expo and formation of AnimeJapan convention, Tokyo Anime Award started as a
> separate festival called Tokyo Anime Award Festival (TAAF).

As per @senshin's input: They do consider western animation as anime too for
the Awards. [Flutter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flutter_\(2006_film\)) was
the winner of Open Entries/Competition Grand Prize in 2007 being the first
non-asian
entry[*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Anime_Award#Open_Entries_.2F_Competition_Grand_Prize).

They also have a specific website on it: <http://animefestival.jp/en>

There is one more from America:

> [American Anime
> Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anime_Awards): The American
> Anime Awards were a series of awards designed to **recognize excellence in
> the release of anime and manga in North America.**
>
> The first and, as of 2015, only annual American Anime Awards balloting was
> supervised by Milton Griepp of industry website ICv2. The first gala awards
> presentation was hosted in New York City on February 24, 2007 at New York
> Comic Con. The hosts of the evening were eight actresses from the anime
> production company ADV Films: Christine Auten, Shelley Calene-Black, Jessica
> Boone, Luci Christian, Alice Fulks, Hilary Haag, Taylor Hannah and Serena
> Varghese. A streaming version of the one hour awards ceremony can be seen on
> IGN.com. The awards were later broadcast on the Anime Network.
