ANIMETAMAGO
The Young Animator Training Project was launched by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2010 to promote and enhance Japanese animation by fostering outstanding next-generation animators through on-the-job training (OJT). The project aims to nurture young animators by gathering plans for short original animations within Japan, and allowing the selected works to be worked on by these animators at an actual production site.
This time, we will deliver a short program containing 3 animated works.
