The Japanese anime “Oni: Thunder God’s Tale,” a story about a girl growing up in a world of gods and monsters, won two prizes in the TV/Media category at the 50thannual Annie Awards ceremony held on Feb. 25 at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
The stop-motion animation directed by Daisuke “Dice” Tsutsumi won in the categories of Best TV/Media-Limited Series and Best Production Design-TV/Media, both for the episode “The Demon Moon Rises.”
“I cannot believe it. There were many nominations of very high-quality work, so I am extremely happy,” Tsutsumi told reporters.
“Oni” was also nominated for Best Character Animation-TV/Media (winner: “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”), Best Character Design-TV/Media (winner: Love Death + Robots”), Best Direction-TV/Media (winner: “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”), and Best Music-TV/Media (winner: “The Cuphead Show”).
The four-episode anime series released on Netflix was produced by Tonko House, which has studios in California and in the central Japan city of Kanazawa.
The studios were launched by Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo, his co-director of “The Dam Keeper,” which was nominated for best animated short at the Academy Awards in 2015.
Another Japanese production, “Inu-Oh,” a fantasy musical depicting maverick artists in 14th-century Kyoto, was nominated for Best Indie Feature and Best Writing for a Feature Film but did not win. Both awards went to “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.”
