The Tokyo Anime Award Festival launched the Meritorious Service Award in 2005 (when the festival was then called the Tokyo Anime Award and was part of the Tokyo International Anime Fair event).
The official website for the 2020 Tokyo Anime Award Festival (TAAF) announced the nine recipients of the festival’s Meritorious Service Award on Thursday.
The Tokyo Anime Award Festival will be held next year in Ikebukuro in Tokyo from March 13 to March 16.
Tokyo Anime Award Festival also grants awards to theatrical and television anime, as well as individual awards for different staff positions.
