Two minutes in and it already feels like a treat. It's really a pleasure to hear Kawajiri reflecting on his work after so long away from the forefront of the industry. And I'd love if he'd be allowed to make an original project alongside Koike, for whom he left such sweet words.

Vaya perlitas deja la primera entrevista de Anime Mind Probe. El vídeo está hecho con un gusto exquisito, y el equipo sabe perfectamente qué es lo que les quiere sacar a los entrevistados. Maruyama, encima, da un juego tremendo con ese salero que tiene. Lanzaos si os llama la historia de Madhouse.

The Global Anime Challenge, an initiative by the Agency of Cultural Affairs, has revealed the directors, producers and animators which will be participating in the project. They will be sent for an internship abroad with the goal of producing a pilot film by 2026.

Still, it is important for the initiative to test it out and see what kind of experiences these creators are able to bring back with them. The goal is for the selected people to become important figures in the anime industry who can share what they learned abroad.

owever, Global Anime Challenge does seem promising, especially as it does take into account why previous initiatives have failed. Whereas previous initiatives were at most over a year, GAC aims to be an accompaniment over several years (3 in the case of this first installment)

This first installment is a test which will serve as a basis for future ones which, if this first test is concluent, might even stretch over 5 years. It was also noted that for this first installment, the duration of the overseas internships might be too short.

The Global Anime Challenge, an initiative by the Agency of Cultural Affairs, has revealed the directors, producers and animators which will be participating in the project. They will be sent for an internship abroad with the goal of producing a pilot film by 2026.

Notable among the selection is Bocchi the Rock and Frieren director Keiichiro Saitou, but also ex-MAPPA producer Makoto Kimura, who recently set up his anime studio, BLUE RIGHTS. Global Anime Challenge aims at promoting these creators as household names of the anime industry.

Of course, as with any government initiative, it is natural to be sceptic about the project’s ability to fulfill its goals, especially since previous initiatives, such as Cool Japan, have been vastly criticized and failed to deliver on its promises.

In our interview with Gundam director Yoshiyuki Tomino in March, he stated Trump would definitely be elected president and criticised the US political system for being unable to produce any other candidates than Trump and Biden.🗳️ He said a paradigm shift in 2028 is inevitable.

Until now, resources to learn about anime method have been scattered around, often walled behind private communities. It’s not like you could not find the information, but it is a tedious task, often incomplete, requiring gathering multiple documents. This book solves it.

Compiling the wisdom of some of the best craftsmen in the industry, it will help anybody willing to work on anime to have the necessary tools available to get themselves to the level required and understanding the pipeline.

Summer’s behind us, and we're already back in Brussels Expo for Made in Asia, which impressed us once again with its anime guests 🇧🇪 Speaking of summer, stay tuned—next month, we’ll be unveiling some of the mysterious projects we’ve been working on during our time in Japan! 🇯🇵

Hello everyone! We apologize for the recent lack of content, but we’ve been hard at work on some huge projects over the summer (the only "public one" was Comiket, but there are many others). We can’t wait to share them with you soon! Stay tuned!

The dôjinshi will be featuring interviews with many staff who worked on the legendary show, from directors Shin’ichi Watanabe and Shingo Natsume, to designer Thomas Romain, animation director Yoshimichi Kameda and voice actress Uki Satake!

欧米のアニメーション映画祭がダメということではないんですよね。欧米のアニメーション映画祭は、海外のアニメーションを紹介すると同時に——あるいはそれ以上に——開催地域のアニメーションのコンテクストを発信することに力を注いでいる。日本のコンテクストは、日本の映画祭こそが発信していくべきであろう。
