The of the Japan Academy Prize is one of the annual Awards given by the ''Nippon Academy-sho association'' (Japan Academy Prize Association). ==History== Although the Japan Academy Prize has been awarded annually since 1978 to Japanese films, animation films were disregarded in the early years of the Prize. Animation films have included top grossing Japanese films of the year, such as ''Doraemon'' (1981),〔(Box-office ranking in Japan, 1981 )〕 Studio Ghibli's ''Kiki's Delivery Service'' (1989),〔(Box-office ranking in Japan, 1989 )〕 ''Only Yesterday'' (1991),〔(Box-office ranking in Japan, 1991 )〕 ''Porco Rosso'' (1992),〔(Box-office ranking in Japan, 1992 )〕 ''Pom Poko'' (1994),〔(Box-office ranking in Japan, 1994 )〕 and ''Whisper of the Heart'' (1995).〔(Box-office ranking in Japan, 1995 )〕 Yet no animated film received a nomination for a Japan Academy Prize during those years. This was notably different from other major Japanese film awards, such as the Mainichi Film Award and Kinema Junpo, which both awarded Picture of the Year to ''My Neighbor Totoro'' in 1988. In 1990, the Japan Academy Prize Association gave a Special Award to ''Kiki's Delivery Service'' at the 13th the Japan Academy Prize,〔(The 13th Prize results )〕 and again in 1995 to Takahata's ''Pom Poko''. However, there was still no nomination for these animated box office hits. But in 1998, the Japan Academy Prize Association's attitude toward animated films changed with the hugely successful ''Princess Mononoke'', the highest box-office record ever in the history of Japanese cinema, which dominated the other major film prizes (''See'': Awards). As a result, at the 21st Japan Academy Prize that year, Studio Ghibli's ''Princess Mononoke'' became the first-ever animation film to be nominated for and win the Japan Academy Prize Picture of the Year. Yoshiyuki Tomino, famed for ''Gundam'', mentioned it: "A hole that Hayao Miyazaki made spending ten years".〔(Talk: Yoshiyuki Tomino and Mamoru Hosoda ) at the 10th Media Arts Festival in 2007〕 In 2002, at the 25th Japan Academy Prize, another animated film by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, ''Spirited Away'', was again nominated and won the Picture of the Year. In 2007, the Japan Academy Prize followed the American Academy Awards, which instituted the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2002, by creating the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year. Only one film is awarded , but all five nominees are recognized by the association with the awarding of .〔(General information on the awards )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
