The animation Kobe ( Japanese ア ニ メ ー シ ョ ン 神 戸 , Animēshon Kobe ) is an annual event since 1996 in Kobe , Japan .

history

Right in the picture: Rokkō Island

In 1995 the event was founded by a committee headed by Yasuki Hamano , whose mission it was to promote the entertainment industry along with the culture of animation. Since 1996 the event has been held every year in Kobe over a longer period of time with individual, specially designed offers.

The first Kobe animation took place on December 8, 1996 at Kobe Fashion Mart , located on Rokkō Island . There, Hideaki Anno was honored with the award for the best individual performance directing Neon Genesis Evangelion , with the series also being recognized as the best series. The award for the best film went to Ghost in the Shell . The special prize went to Fujiko Fujio , who, among other things, created Doraemon as a mangaka . However, he died a month before he could receive the award, but the award was given to him anyway. Other awards went to Naomi Tamura for the theme song Yuzurenai Negai by Magic Knight Rayearth , Key the Metal Idol (an OVA by Studio Pierrot ) and to Jungle Park by developer DIGITALOGUE for the best interactive software.

The Kobe International Conference Center in Kobe

The second event relocated to the Kobe Portopia Hotel on the man-made island of Port Island and was held on November 24, 1997. There were only changes to the extent that no theme song was awarded. Instead, Shiro Sagisu received the award for best composition. Next to him were Hayao Miyazaki as the director of Princess Mononoke as well as the film itself and the series Utena. Revolutionary Girl awarded by JCStaff . The network media award went to the computer game Shin Seiki Evangelion: Kōtetsu no Girlfriend by Gainax . The special award went to the Seiyū Masako Nozawa .

Finally, from 1998 to 2002 inclusive, five more events followed at the Kobe International Conference Center . In addition, since the third event, there has been a chair for the evaluation, which is determined by the jury. The jury itself consists mainly of the editors-in-chief of the major magazines, such as Newtype , Animedia or Animage , and is expanded to include an employee from the city. For the first time this was Nobuo Oda , the editor-in-chief of Animedia. Likewise, after the change in 1998, the price for music and 1998–1999 the network media price were dropped.
