I don't know about this award, but Otomo certainly deserves respect. At the very least, the film version of "Akira" deserves the recognition, but his manga version is also deserving of respect.

Yes ! Akira introduced a whole generation of french kids to manga and japanese popular culture.

akira is one of the 20th century's greatest works of pop art - a towering achievement that set a standard with which all others are measured against. fantastic.

Heard about this last night. His award is well-deserved.
