Like the Hugo Awards, the Seiun Awards honor all forms of speculative fiction — including but not limited to science fiction — and related materials.
Gakken no Zukan Super Sentai, Gakken’s 280-page illustrated compendium of Toei’s live-action tokusatsu (special-effects) franchise, won the “Best Non-Fiction” award.
Studio Nue’s Naoyuki Katō (The Legend of the Galactic Heroes) won the Best Artist category for the ninth time since 1979.
Satoshi Ogawa’s “SG Sakka no Taoshikata” (How to Take Down Sci-Fi Authors) won the “Best Japanese Short Story” award.
