CATDOLL: "NEWTYPE" 2015-2016 Animation Awards Announced, "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" Becomes the Biggest Winner

Japanese animation releases many new animations every year, and there are also many animation awards. The 2015-2016 "NEWTYPE" animation awards have been announced a few days ago. In this selection, "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" can be said to be the biggest winner, winning 5 awards. However, the script of this work, Ohkouchi Ichiro, actually won the Best Animation Screenplay Award. It is true that the music and character design of "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" are beyond reproach, but the Best Screenplay Award is a bit embarrassing.

After seeing the list of winners, many netizens were surprised. The other awards seemed fine. However, the plot of "Kabutoshi of the Iron Fortress" seemed to have a hasty ending after the collapse. Is it really okay to give the Best Screenplay Award to Ohkouchi Ichiro? Netizens also complained about how the selection was made this time. Was it the result of vote manipulation?
