2007 American Anime Awards
 

The American Anime Awards ceremony took place during the evening of Saturday February 24 2007 at the New Yorker Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. In attendance will be executives and creative personnel from every major anime studio and manga publisher active in the United States.

The American Anime Awards celebrates Japanese animation (anime), which has grown into a global entertainment phenomenon.  The Awards showcase the very best anime to make its way to North America, and the winners will be chosen by anime fans themselves.

Tickets to the ceremony and gala are sold out, but fans can enjoy both through a special broadcast event on Anime Network. American Anime Awards will premiere on Anime Network March 23 (broadcast) and April 12 (VOD). The two-hour program will include pre- and post-ceremony coverage and will feature the inaugural award ceremony, where anime professionals will be recognized for their outstanding achievements in the multi-billon dollar anime industry.
