A masterpiece for adults! Wins the Galaxy Award again after four years!
An anime where adults truly act like adults, dealing with the real-life troubles of adulthood.
"Ikoku Nikki (Journal with Witch)" has won one of Japan's most prestigious awards—the Galaxy Award for Television (March 2026) presented by the Japan Council for Better Radio and Television 🇯🇵.
The jury highly praised the portrayal of the life shared by Asa and Makio, noting that the direction focuses entirely on emotional experience: the depiction of psychological landscapes, the use of silence, and sound design that perfectly matches every moment.
The story does not seek simple or crude answers; instead, it is built upon delicate observations and interpersonal bonds, exploring the profound concept that "even if not everything can be mutually understood, we can still coexist."
