The 2011 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards panel of judges has announced its nominees for the best works in the comic book industry. Naoki Urasawa earned a Best Continuing Series nomination for 20th Century Boys. (The manga was also nominated in the same category last year.) The Viz Media title is competing against Chew, Echo, Locke & Key, Morning Glories, and Scalped. 
Volumes 1 and 2 of Nobuaki Tadano's 7 Billion Needles are vying for the Best Adaptation from Another Work award. In that category, the Vertical title is competing against Dante's Divine Comedy, The Little Prince, The Marvelous Land of Oz and Silverfin: A James Bond Adventure. Urasawa is also up for the Best Writer/Artist award for 20th Century Boys, along with Dan Clowes, Darwyn Cooke, Joe Kubert, Terry Moore, and James Sturm. Urawasa received two nominations — for both 20th Century Boys and Pluto: Urasawa X Tezuka — in this category last year.
Five manga titles are vying for the Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia award:
AyakoBy Osamu Tezuka

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey
On the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film.

InuYasha Movie Blu-ray Complete Collection
Four movies, all so rigidly formulaic that they could be sequential remakes. This is an entertaining set all told, but you can get the same experience (or better) by watching the first film four times.
K-ON! The Movie Blu-Ray
The movie finishes what the TV series began, with a story that goes beyond a typical episode, but stops short of being an epic, life-changing experience.
Sailor Moon GN 8 -10
The fourth story arc of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon saga, known to many fans as “Sailor Moon SuperS,” may have a reputation from the anime as being one of the weakest arcs, but the two and a half volumes that make it up in the manga are among the best the series has to offer.
Kids on the Slope Blu-Ray
Jazz music is much the stars as the main cast in this story about teens who become friends in late 1960s Japan. Great sounds and good character development bolster what is otherwise a fairly pedestrian character drama.
