東京アニメアワード
is a Japanese military science fiction novel series written by Chōhei Kambayashi. First published as a series of short stories, a collected "bunkobon" volume was released by Hayakawa Publishing in 1984. It was followed by two sequels, released in 1999 and 2009. A five-episode original video animation (OVA) series, produced by Gonzo and Bandai Visual, was released in Japan from August 2002 to August 2005. The series is notable for its air combat scenes, which were created with the help of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The JASDF worked with the Gonzo production team by recording actual sounds of the F-15J Eagle and running test flights at Komatsu Air Base, and having discussions on air combat tactics. "Yukikaze" has twice won the Tokyo Anime Award for Original Video Animation in 2003 and 2006.
